Watching a lot of behind-the-scenes, it seems like the girls just come to a set with a big ol' suitcase full of clothes and sex equipment....Then the director just picks stuff out of there? This can't be right can it?

I understand that some directors get clothing for the performers. Others obviously don't. Edited to add that, as an example, I just watched Bamboo in 3 movies from different companies and she had on the same outfit in all three.

I seem to remember Taylor St. Claire in different movies in the same outfit.
I would hate to be a director that had to know the size of each porn star. If they flake as much as indicated, that is more money down the drain. Since many seem to be/have been strippers, they would have outfits anyways.

I go on a shopping spree before every production with my makeup girl/stylist. I buy new stockings, shoes, lingerie, clothes etc for my productions. We keep adding to the collection of wardrobe items on hand. We sometimes rent costumes for feature movies if we can't make it or buy it.

In Puritan Video Magazine #50 "Calendar Girls" I had to come up with accurate costuming and sets for 5 decades. 1960's through 2004. Each of the 5 scenes started with a calendar hanging on a wall somewhere and coming to life. We bought and rented clothes from vintage shops to make each decade authentic and period correct. Who said there is no imagination with gonzo type sex? Some of us try very hard to make interesting video's for you.

Yes some girls do bring some clothes with them to a shoot. I usually use my own costumes. If a model has something nice to add to the look we will combine what she has with our wardrobe collection.

It works both ways - I know Frank Thring and Kovi for example have some fetish outfits that turn up in quite a number of the films they direct, so it's a pretty safe bet that they supply some of the outfits. I've also seen a number of posts from Skeeter Kerkve here where he discusses how he likes to dress the girls in his films, so it seems Skeeter (and Bridgette) have a stockpile of their own outfits they use.

cheers,

In previous discussions on this matter, the consensus ended up being exactly what Scipio said-"It works both ways."

There are girls, like TSC, who wear their own same outfits quite frequently. She got a lot of use out of her collection of corsets, black two-piece lingerie, red lingerie, french maid and nurse outfit. I noticed that Jennifer Luv used the same outfits frequently. And there are quite a few BTS segments I've seen over the past couple of years where the girl will just have a bag of possible outfits and the director's input on the matter will simply be picking one. However, there are directors like Skeeter who dress his girls in all the same outfits. I think it can be a double-edged sword. Maybe you get tired of Taylor in the same blue corset over all the time. Then again, maybe you get tired of every single girl in every single SKeeter Kerkove film looking roughly the same outfit wise.

In all of the gonzo scenes I did I supplied my own wardrobe. In some of the features I did - including one in which I supplied not my own outfit, but another performer's - since what they had picked out for her did not fit well or look good on her, but what I had brought as a possible back-up for myself looked very nice on her.
I don't mind bringing my own things as long as I'm told exactly what to bring. Then it can be fun to make or purchase it for yourself. I really dislike being told, "oh just bring whatever you think you look good in". I dislike even more being told, "bring something really slutty". I don't own anything slutty, I don't even know what that means fashion-wise. In the world of Cleveland, Ohio wearing slutty clothes means a ripped Harley Davidson t-shirt with a couple cigarette burns in it and a pair of jeans 2 sizes too small so that your awesome size 14 belly rolls out like a sausage.

Most pro performers have an extensive wardrobe that they can bring with them to the shoot... but then you wind up with a situation where they are wearing the same costume and look in your video as in everybody else's. I've got a genius costume designer/seamstress, Melanie Whorehouse, who did all of the PSYCHOCANDY costumes. For the first two volumes, I was really strict about hair, makeup, costume, etc. But lately, I have been having really good results by collaborating ahead of time about what kind of look and sex scene the girls want to do.

I think that the directors should go shopping with the girls, along with a wardrobe stylist. Would be fun too. And let the girls keep the clothes afterwards too as goodwill.
