Does anyone have any inside information if euro girls that goes to america makes as much money as the american girls do (for doing the same things if they're about as famous)?
Or do they still get paid less than american girls, even if they're shooting in the US?
I think that euro girls should get payed more :P Since they've had to work their way up working for very little money. I like american girls very much to, but euro girls are always in for pretty much anything, it seems :D

Maybe you should become a union delegate.

I think it all depends on their arrangements with their US agent. If an Euro girl is smart enough and knows the current US fees and stuff, she should earn the same. If she is just happy to get away from Prague, Buda or somewhere else, than she will probabely settle for 700$ or so for anal instead of the 500 Euro going rate in Prague. Just my guess.
If she is not well known to US directors than she certainly earns less at first. From which she gradually has to work up for a good fee. I think this is just fair, no matter how do-anything-minded she may be. Its all just supply and demand. And an unknown Russian or Romanian girl for instance is not demanded much when she starts.
_swede_, actually I also dont think that Euro girls work for too little payment in Europe. It`s rather the other way round. The Prague and Buda fees are getting so high that they deter US directors to fly over to shoot there. To earn a Czech average monthly salary for just one dp shot in Prague for example doesnt sound bad, IMO.
Obviously there is a problem if the great Angel Dark finds it more in her interests to quit porn participation in favour of escorting. Mind you, the gorgeous Lucy Lee gave up performing for some months to escort before realising her folly and returning to surrendering her wonderful holes to whatever cock was available on camera. The absolute sweeetheart that Lucy is resumed with more DP, DAP, ATM, ATOGM, ATP etc than anyone could have hoped for. Yet, she has got better. And she travelled to parts far and beyond in her time off, in the name of great whorehood. She worked in the West Indies, Spain et al as a the great whore that she is/was. But, she eventually realised where her place was. If it was good enough for Lucy, then it's good enough for Angel. I look forward to Angel stepping into the abyss as Lucy did, and returning to our shores as the available set of flesh that she is. The best set of holes that has graced our screens. Even Erik rated her as the best of the Euro "hotties" after Anal POV #2. She will be back, and when she is, a la Lucy, we will all benefit. She will be even better. But, let her have her time away. And, I await, Angel and Lucy working together beyond the "Prague" files. If it was good enough for Lucy to take Boz and his buddies in her sweet ass, in Pipe Layers #4, and by fuck she did, deep, deep, deep, then Angel has much to return to. She will come back, and like Lucy, be even better. After all, she is European, and for that we love her, and love her, and love her. Rest well Angel, but understand your greateness. You are the queen of anal greatness, and that is where we will wait for you.
Other than contract girls, performers are all independant contractors, not employees. They get don't get payroll taxes deducted and they don't receive W-2's. They receive 1099's and are responsible for paying both the employer and employee portions of Social Security taxes.
Not true. Read California's laws. MANY companies do take taxes and SS out of paychecks.

As far as I know both of them did escort in Europe not the US, no?
Besides, I dont think escorting and acting in porn films is comparable to an extent zour post suggests. Acting in porn films is working with a known pool of other actors, escorting is far less predictable fucking.
Angel Dark probabely suffers from the current shooting crisis in Prague caused by too high talent rates. If she could freely travel to the US, she`d gladly work there for lower than standard fees in porn, I guess. Its a pity she is a victim of travel restrictions.
I don't think you can really speak for Angel Dark when speculating as to why she's decided to escort instead of continue making porn.
After all, one does not preclude the other. And once a performer has made a porn name for themselves they can command a lot for one night's work, or even a couple of hours..
German girls are getting normally less money than US stars, for sure. There are some strange examples I know where girls have worked for 120 Euro (about $ 150) for 1 scene. With some luck you can take some boob pics from an US girl for this price - whipping not included... ;)
I'm very happy that I met my agent right when I first came to the US. I always trusted Mark's decision about my rates. More important than nationality is the fact how popular the girl, is she in demand or how does she look.
Nice to have you, Katja Kassin, next to my answer in this thread. I would be more lucky if you are on my site, but an answer next to mine is a good start... ;)
I've heard about this, too. But maybe shooting one highly underrated scene turns out in a very good long-term investment. Katja Kassin was already known when she first moved as a porn Gastarbeiter girl to the US, but other Euro girls may need to get known first. Doing a decent scene for just 150$ for a good company may get their US-career started. Maybe they can become a Spiegler girl even after that...
