| aclayfan All-Star Member 5059 Posts 8/11 | As always, appreciate your Girlsway insider views. Here's a couple questions. 1. Other than deals, does anything else spike an increase in subscriptions? 2. Ariana Marie is one of the most popular stars ever a GW. I'm going by their stats. She's wonderful to look at. She's, also, about as enthusiastic in g/g scenes as a dead fish. What does this say about the learned site membership? 3. GW big release is this new Vampire series. Do you catch those special effects in the trailer? Anyways, they gave a lead role to Shyla. Are you the person here who finds her acting painful to watch? I do think the # of views is an important measure of a performer's popularity among the subscribers. As for GOTM/GOTY, it is simply a fun promotion. With a star like Lana, GW knows a mention on her twitter reaches tens of thousands of eyeballs. It's a free advertising for them. |

| Eva93 Member 774 Posts 2/16 | I know Alan at this point puts way more stock into the comments on scenes and in the monthly member polling thread than he does on the model pages. A lot of this is because there's such a discrepancy in comparing model profiles. Ariana's first scene for what would become Girlsway was for WebYoung in 2013. Her profile has 545 likes in that near four year span. Then compare that to Kristen Scott who has 355 likes of her profile in 11 months. I'd compare Ariana to Darcie, actually. Lots of votes (and in Darcie's case, some suspicious viewing numbers in relation to the amount of comments/likes on her scenes last year) but members are open on the fact that Darcie's not up to the standard they hope for performance-wise. Ariana won't be back on GW, though. Alan posts the tentative schedule for each month in the forum, and she was originally supposed to be in Cassidy's role in the upcoming threesome with Melissa Moore and Lana. However, she cancelled last minute and he had to scramble to get Cassidy. Alan said that her cancelling on him last minute was a common thing over the last couple of years and if she wants to come back, she has to make the effort to show she wants to. The special effects in the trailer for Vampires are definitely cheesy, but I think there's a bit of a charm about silly special effects in porn. It's kind of endearing to make the effort to put special effects in porn, so even when they're bad, they're kind of good for me lol. I think casting Shyla in such a big role opposite leads of Abigail, Jelena, Serena, and Angela was a colossal mistake. I'm not expecting anything on the level of Hollywood acting, but as leads, all four of them have shown that they're good actresses more than capable of being believable in the roles they're given. Shyla has a level of incompetency in her acting that even by porn standards is tough to watch. When she's with fellow bad actresses or in the case of her scene with Keisha of having 2 or 3 lines of dialogue, it's fine. But here where not only is she surrounded by good actresses on top of having such a significant role, it brings the entire production down. She has her rabid fanbase that will say she's amazing in anything, so in the end she has no incentive to get better as a performer. At least for me from watching the trailers, the biggest takeaway I've had is the what if I feel about what could have been if say, Melissa or Carter had the role that Shyla does. And yes, it absolutely helps to have models like Lana since she's a good performer. It's just really interesting that outside of her scenes with established GW powerhouses August (which both of them were open they didn't really like the scene) and Melissa, none of her scenes have really moved the needle in a measurable way on the site. I do think there's a correlation with how enthusiastic Lana is at promoting her b/g projects but isn't anywhere near that when she promotes her g/g projects. I think with her fanbase, they eat up the things she's active in praising (see the Hard X and Tushy showcases). The real lack of promotion for her g/g work outside of retweets not only doesn't get her existing fanbase excited enough to check those scenes out, but it could be hurting her standing with the g/g audience. I'll compare her to Jill Kassidy on that front. Lana's unquestionably a bigger star than Jill and at this point a better g/g performer than Jill. However, Jill's been much more enthusiastic in promoting the fact that she has such a good time working with women and wants more g/g work. Then looking at the numbers, Jill's scene with Elsa, while having less votes than the Art of Foreplay scene between Riley and Lana, actually has more views despite coming out a week later. There could be several factors involved (Elsa's pretty popular with the members, the fact it's Jill's third or fourth released g/g scene) but I don't think it's a coincidence that outside of those two previously mentioned scenes, Lana's scenes are performing in a way that are solid but not spectacular.

| Whirlbuddy Member 96 Posts 1/17 | I think a big issue with Lana's recent scenes have been the duration. No denying I enjoy Lana's gg work but the Riley ones and Melissa one are way too short. Compared to other scenes where the final edit averages 45min, it would be hard to compete with them when you have only 12min of actual sex scene! At any rate Lana is definitely a fan favorite on the forums. It is definitely a good move for GW to promote their brand through her rising popularity. Also I would think being a part of the GW team is a good way for Lana to reach the gg niche. She has always mentioned on adt here that she aims to cover range of genres including gg in her schedule. |
| pat362 Senior Member 10081 Posts 3/10 | If only the writing, most of the acting and scenario had been as good as the special effects then maybe we would have had at least one memorable scene but what we get instead is a story that is badly developed, badly executed and instead of one perfect sex scene we sort of got three imperfect ones. This video is a good examples of why scenario driven porn tends to always look bad because there is simply no budget spent on developing the story and the characters so all we are left with is non-sex stuff that barely scratches the surface of a story that was obviously there when they came up with the idea for the scene and mostly a sex scene with identifiable performers doing about the same thing they have done before to the same people. Here are some of my musing on the video. Be advised that some of you will think that I am being too picky and maybe you are correct but I think that since GW chose to shoot a scenario driven porn scene than the least they can do is try to make it as good and plausible as possible otherwise why even bother. Here goes. Is Shyla's character blind since childhood or is it a more recent thing? Her conversation with Abigail is vague enough that she might have been able to see. Mind you the confusion might be because of the bad acting or bad dialogue. Why did the producer feel the need to add scenic shots of a California beach road? They are nice shots but redundant to the story. Why did they waste time showing the women driving along that road? It's not like the conversation they have in or outside the car can't be done at their fathers house(unless palm trees are critical). Shyla's wants to hug a palm tree and take a leak so we get a quick scene where She asks Abigail if there is anyone around to which Abigail says no. Why would she do that when in the next shot you clearly see a guy looking in his trunk 50ft away from where Shyla was taking her piss? Even better he's gone in the very next shot when Shyla goes to hug her palm tree. Why would Abigail hookup for a quickie the same day she arrives at her father house? I mean it's never explained if they flew or drove from Boston but either way. I think sleep and/or relaxation would be the first things you would want to do when you have just travelled 2900 miles. Why would Abigail leave her blind sister in a house that they haven't mapped out together when Abigail had to give direction to Shyla on how to get to her room and had to warn her that there is a couch directly in her path. Why would Abigail and Melissa make out in Melissa's bedroom doorway when in a previous text Melissa said they shouldn't make any noise? The sex scenes weren't bad but the again they weren't great either. |
| Aya Senior Member All The Cool Girls Are Lesbians 7439 Posts 6/14 | Anyways, at least the Vampires Banner on the site replaced the giant squirting gif. And today Brett Rossi and Cadence Lux enjoy each other in The Art of Pussy Eating: Girls Do it Better. *DUDE WARNING ALERT!* They also have an upcoming All Girl Massage scene together; The Tutor. Riley Nixon said she shot her Girlsway and All Girl Massage scene with Giselle Palmer Both on the same day. Maybe the same happened with Brett and Cadence. ![]() ![]() |
| Eva93 Member 774 Posts 2/16 | At least from part 1 of this compared to AI, Kristen Scott's Skip Day, and Fantasy Factory (the three mini's that Alan did that I think are his best), I think the biggest issue is poor casting that makes the dialogue seem even worse than it is. Like I said above, I think silly special effects in porn are really endearing so I don't really find an issue there, but when there's bad acting of poor dialogue and then you add the effects, it can definitely be an avalanche for someone that cares about them. What made those mini's work is that every model cast was perfect for the role they were given. Serena Blair's the perfect model to play a nerdy girl that's unsure of herself. Celeste Star and Alexis Fawx are perfect to all knowing artificial intelligences with perfect looks. Kristen Scott is perfect for the bratty Ferris Bueller homage. Brett Rossi just getting to riff as a needy roleplayer is exactly what that scene in the series needed. Here, Jelena is great at playing the manipulative and/or evil role, so her as the matriarch makes sense. Melissa Moore has proven herself to be well-rounded to play any role so she wasn't miscast, but she hasn't found the niche role that she excels at yet either. However, Shyla is such a bad actress putting her in any role where she has to speak more than a few lines is a recipe for an unmitigated disaster which I feel from watching the trailers for the rest of the series is only going to get worse as the series moves forward. Abi's at her best when she can play a super self-confident role and just run with it. Not that she's terrible in this, but this role doesn't play to her strengths. Carter and Georgia aren't really used enough to say whether anyone would have brought those characters to life. Not to say that the dialogue was ground breaking or anything, but if properly cast, at least it could have been competent. Realistically, this needed to be split in half and given time to breathe instead of crammed into an hour. Edited by - eva93 on 9/19/2017 2:55:15 AM |

| aclayfan All-Star Member 5059 Posts 8/11 | Watched the recent Scarlett Sage scene with Syren de Mer. I don't know how much they paid Scarlett, but she gave them their money's worth. The sex would be a little better if she toned it down a touch. Still, loved seeing her and I hope they cast her again. |

| aclayfan All-Star Member 5059 Posts 8/11 | ![]() So, we get a breath of fresh air at Girlsway today with the debut of Lena Anderson. Lena, of the endless legs, has had an inconsistent and not very memorable porn career up til now. Honestly, not sure if she's currently working in porn. But, the girl is a looker. Abella and Lena do a nice job here. There isn't much dialogue and the passion level is pretty good. Part 2 of Vampires was ok. We find out Abigail & Shyla are stepsisters. However, in the past, Shyla thought they were sisters and had been involved with Abigail anyways. What? You only get that kind of character development in a porno. |

| Ade87 Member 135 Posts 2/16 | Melissa Moore has never looked better, wow.+1 to this, and the same applies entirely throughout the two scenes so far in Vampires too. She's a legendary GG performer, but I feel she's been slacking a little, and ugh, her acting is so samey over the last near decade. On the other hand, when it's a feature film, she or anyone else needs to be able to act to above par standard I feel. I suppose when you have as frankly an obsessive, rabid fanbase as many of them are for her, there's little need to change things. Even improve in areas that aren't the strongest. Hell, I remember the uproar from them when she he had shorter hair for a short period of time. I look at someone like Scarlet Sage who was very timid in her GG work, acting wise, but since she's returned and is GG only, she's stepped her game BIG time, across many GG related studios too, and I for one appreciate it. For Shyla, it's either cringey as hell, or passable as the vulnerable, sweet little thing coaxed by an older performer. Celeste Star and in more recent times, Reena Sky spring to mind. Now it's Abigail Mac. All three, always deliver on every front. It probably reads I'm hating on her entirely somehow to some, but I'm not. I really enjoy her scenes where there's minimal acting required. |
| Ade87 Member 135 Posts 2/16 | I see Eva put my thoughts on Shyla far more in depth than I did. Genuinely didn't see it before I posted my comment! Lana's clearly capable btw. Her recent scene with Kissa Sins was excellent for GFF, and the original scene in particular with Prinzess also right up there. I did enjoy the threesome with Melissa and Cassidy, though it needed to go for 10 minutes I feel if being critical of anything. Well, that and Melissa covering her eyes with hands. As much as I like her, that kinda looked daft lol. And yes, Gia definitely would have been a good one for Vampires. I know she's popular in forum, but Alan, Bree or whoever else need to give her a big role in a feature. Edited by - Ade87 on 9/29/2017 10:03:49 PM |

| Ade87 Member 135 Posts 2/16 | - So looking forward to the Scarlet Sage & Haley Reed, Reena Sky & Eliza Jane scenes. Scarlet & Eliza would be fire. - Good to see Bella Rose back, and even better seeing Rebel Lynn back. She deserves more love than she gets I feel. Went binging on her Girlsway scenes last week. Girl always gives it 100, and can act. - Mona Wales and Allie Eve Knox, enjoyed the longer than usual build-up (it felt like it anyway!), but the sex was only 20 minutes?! They need a round 2 for that alone. - Give Jelena a softer role for once. We all know she can play the bitchy 'stepmom' at the stage, and do it well, but even she wishes to change it up though she'd never kick up a fuss about it. |

I apologize, but as a Girlsway member I rather not say who is the GOTM until Girlsway does. |
| Eva93 Member 774 Posts 2/16 | Also I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels the same about Shyla. Even say anything critical about her on the site and her fanbase goes fucking insane lol. |
