I started the Eurobabe of the Week series not that long ago because back then good information on European porn stars was hard to find and there seemed to be a need for that kind of information. I had specific intentions in mind when I began the series. I wanted to "educate" and "elicit discussions". The conditions that spawned the series however, have changed dramatically.

The arrival of the egafd and the ever expanding nature of the Eurobabeindex, thanks to the appreciated efforts of Sbando and noproblemo, have started to put doubts in my mind about the "necessity" of the series. The information I wanted to communicate can be found elsewhere now. The series may not have exceeded its welcome, but it seems to have outlived its purpose.

Therefor, I am thinking bout changing the formula of the weekly babes. Since the American Babe of the Week is a companion piece to the Euro Babe of the Week, and information about American girls can be found even more easily elsewhere, I am thinking of pulling the plug on both series. But at the same time, I would like to continue posting weekly babes.

So, this is a call for new, fresh ideas for a weekly babes series. I would still like to "educate" and "elicit discussion", so I still believe there is some merit on concentrating on lesser known girls or forgotten girls. I was thinking along the lines of a "Blast from the Past" series, concentrating on "forgotten" girls, and a "Up and Cummers" series, concentrating on new girls.

I will probably continue the other two weekly series. I have collected enough mystery pictures to last till 2005 (believe me, I am not exaggerating) and as long as I can find decent pictures, I will continue the Male Performers series, despite the fact that only two or three people ever react to it (where is GaySatyr?).

I would appreciate any kind of comment/thought on this. If you think the old formula still has its merits, say so. If you have some other fresh idea, please speak up.

I like the idea about concentrating on girls who are not particularly well known, Euro or otherwise. How about a "Blast from the Past" feature with girls who only did a few movies, say 20 or fewer, but who left a lot of pleasant memories--girls who didn't get their proper credit due to their short sojourn. I can't think of anyone in particular at the moment, but you get the picture.

I was always reading your Babes of the Week column although I often was unable to cocntribute any infos about the girls, especially if they were "blast from the past" or "forgotten". I definately found some girls worth to check out which I never saw or heard of before. And I even more like to make some wild guesses on the Mystery Babes [:]

well... to start with a suggestion about future Babe of the week series... what about Favorite Babe of the Week? every longtime member can make a suggestion to you and you decide if its worth to post or not.

Walter,

I wouldn't pull the plug on either series, the Euro Babe or American Babe.

For many, the Euro Babe is still a 'new' person that they may have not seen before.

The emphasis might be slightly different as nietzsche has suggest, where it may be someone that didn't really do that many movies but still left some pleasant memories. It also seems that many times the American Babe has been something of a Blast from the Past already, and that's fine.

BTW, I still suck at the Mystery Babe.

I don't think there is necessarily a conflict between the Eurobabe of the Week and either EGAFD or Eurobabeindex. EGAFD is interested mainly in actresses seen in French, German and Italian videos.

In my view, Eurobabeindex is more a repository of informations already available on the Net but scattered in every place. Moreover, I believe most of the passed Eurobabes of Week will end into it. It is also centered on Eastern European babes and has a "multimedia" aspect in it, listing magazines appearances and websites.

Obviously, these indexes provide only raw data while your posts always entertain us with short biographies and interesting discussions always follow like retrieving various aliases, listing unknown videos, describing hair color, etc..

I think the reservoir is still large enough to provide Babes of the Week for many years. I am particularly interested in babes whose I know only the first name, usually a common one (like Monika, Angel, ...) and who are always confused with their homonyms.

I say bring on the babes! Switch up the series weekly, whatever strikes your fancy that week. Don't restrict yourself. If you feel like posting a Blast from the Past go for it. If you feel like posting a Eurobabe then post away. The bigger the Eurobabeindex gets, the more the need to highlight individual girls.
We may react more than you know. I've joined the Yahoo groups for most of the guys you posted. I now know there are more than seven guys in porn. I don't watch enough porn right now to offer anything in terms of discussion though.

Steph is right, keep 'em coming. No pun intended. I always read these posts whether I comment or not. I think keeping both going is a good idea. For example, to point out "good" performances (a subjective concept, I know) - I've seen a couple of girls who impressed me recently and then realised after that I had seen them before in movies that made no impression. The discussions these series provoke can provide a chance to steer people in the right direction!

Please keep these performer spotlights coming as often as you have the inclination, Walter -- whatever you'd like to call them and however you'd like to select them. Shrines and monuments to talent, passion, and beauty (not to mention hot, smutty pictures) are always welcome, in my book.

Thanks for all your efforts!

i love the Euro/American Babe of the week posts. i admit that i almost never post in the threads, but that is mainly because i usually know nothing about the performers featured. it is also for that reason that i love the posts - they serve as a great introduction to many beautiful women i would otherwise have missed.

Being an Englander I would miss your Eurobabe posts. Some great looking girls have been discovered (to me) through your posts.
If I might make a suggestion? How about making Eva Falk a eurobabe of the week? XXL showed 'Le Plein Des Sens' which starred her along with Laura Angel. Eva reminds me of a fine Walloon wine...She gets better with age. She is so beautiful and classy, a quality many pornstars lack.
She tends to be a supporting actress appearing in only one scene per movie which is disappointing. With luck Walter you will have seen her in a good number of titles.
Keep up the good work!

I'm here, dear Walter! I've been on the moving sabbatical from hell; but I'm still here.

Post as you see fit. Don't feel you 'have' to do anything; else, it might cease being fun. And, as fun as your posts are (BTW, where are the quotes?), I'd hate to have you quit because of burnout.

I read most of your Babe/Male of the Week posts even though I don't post on the female threads. (What am I gonna say? 'Great guy she's banging there!!!')

My two all-time favorites are still Hakan Serb (whose website has disappeared! ) and Karl Ben!

Some one of these days, I'm gonna live dangerously and send some of these hunks some serious fan mail. I wonder what they'd think of a formal, engraved invitation to join my harem?

I am following these eurobabe articles for some time now, I had to make a new acount as I couldn`t retrieve the password of my old one, but I am sure I am not the only one who wants you to continue this.
A while ago you mentioned that you didn`t make for example Nicoletta Axin as eurobabe of the week, as no one asked for it really.
My opinion is that many of the forumreaders don`t even ever heared of these babes, I am possitive that after they saw pictures or movies of these girls they`ll deffinatly vote for them!!
There are still a few eurobabes I think who deserve some attention on this board, for example I saw Fumetto`s post yesterday about Selen.
I know a few more names, did you maybe ever heared of Vivien Oxa aka Marisa Iovine? She starred in many Salieri movies but also in some Evil Angel movies as well

Just my point of view, please continue (specially on the big breasted naturals in europe ;-))

First, many thanks to everybody who responded.

It seems that many of the reactions focused on the part of me wanting "to pull the plug" on the series. That was not my main concern, however. If I gave the impression that I wanted to stop posting weekly babes alltogether, you can just blame it on my poor English. I very much want to continue to post weekly babes. I was only thinking out loud if it maybe wasn't time to rethink the formula of both series with the rise of both the EGAFD and the Eurobabeindex. Furthermore, I don't like the Europe vs America dichotomy at all. I strongly believe that the discussion of who is hotter, better looking, nastier, ... is in many ways a false and unproductive discussion.

For now, I will continue to post the Euro Babe and American Babe series as before. I will do this because of three reasons:

1) Most posters in this thread seem partial to the old formula.
2) I don't have a decent alternative formula ready yet. The "Blast from the Past" and "Up and Cummers" series isn' really a good alternative. It will probably work out all right for the "Blast from the Past" series, although I doubt that the ever younger demographic of ADT-talkers is interested much in "porn history". However, the biggest problem would be the "Up and Cummers" series. With my database being behind more than a year now, I can hardly give any information on new babes at all.
3) It would be a pity to interupt the ongoing series. Look at the compendiums: there are 39 Euro and American Babes of the Week already. Add to this 32 Mystery Babes and 30 Male Performers of the Week.

Finally, I am toying with the idea of adding 1 weekly babe. The idea hit me when Frigo mentioned his idea of a "Favorite Babe of the Week". There is one category of babes that is not being covered at the moment: the well-known stars. They probably don't need their own weekly series, focused on (re)introducing them. But maybe the focus of a "Star of the Week" series may be different. I will not post as much information, just a picture and a list of titles I have seen her in. Then you guys and gals can pick your own favorite moment/video of her. To make this interesting, I will let the winner of each Mystery Babe pick his "favorite star of the week".
Let me know what you think about this idea. It might be the only way to get a Silvia Saint or a Sophie Evans or a Tera Patrick or a Tricia Deveraux or ... on the boards as a Babe/Star of the Week.
