Members,
Heather Carolin has posted a goodbye note on her websites. She sites financial and tax issues being the issue. Another post also said the same, that she is in big tax trouble.
I'm really very sorry to see her go from the industry. I think she's one of the hottest redheads out there today. Unfortunately, her postings have been few and far between on her sites these last 6 months, and what has been posted was made for other sites and cross posted on her own site.
I think what has annoyed her fans the most is that she hasn't keep us informed. Her site still advertises weekly updates, yet we're lucky to get an update every few months. And as for her fan forum, she hasn't responded to anything in 6 months.
Perhaps, as another member posted in her forum area, she is no longer associated with her own site due to these financial issues. I don't know for sure, but one thing I do know for sure is she hasn't responded to anything since then and her remaining members are fed up with the lack of updates and responses.
I truly regret this has happened. I wish Heather was up front with us sooner on what has occurred, since many of us newly signed up, or renewed for multi-month memberships and have seen very little for it these last 6 months.
I still think she's the hottest redhead out there today. If she had only managed her professional career better.... I know many of us were so excited about her going hardcore in 2007. She was exceptional at it!!! What a talent. And although we only got to see G/G videos, she was heading towards full B/G hardcore and had hinted at it. I think the biggest regret I have is that she didn't make it that far. WHAT A LOSS! I would have gone to the ends of the earth to see her do the wild thing in the B/G area.
My only hope is that she will go B/G when she returns. Just because she announces her sites are closing doesn't mean she wouldn't appear in B/G hardcore elsewhere.
We love you Heather! I hope you resolve your issues soon and return to the industry with a vengeance. If and when you take the next step and go B/G, I'll be there, and I'm sure the money will be there too.

What did her goodbye note say? Think you could copy and paste it.
This was what she posted on her model profile:
"MOVING IN A MONTH, NOW BOOKING MY LST CALL GLAMOUR SOLO/ADULT SOLO SHOOTS!! MESSAGE ME FOR RATES!"

Here's what was posted on her site from her:
Members,
It's with great reluctance that I have to say fare well to you all, at least for the foreseeable future. Due to forces outside my control, my two sites will close at the end of April. I've decided to move on to other interests, at least, for the time being.
I've enjoyed the time we've shared, but due to financial and tax issues, I'm having to close shop until these issues can be resolved. Please feel free to reach out to me from time to time, but until then I wish you all the best of wishes and to say it's been really great fun over these many years.
There's a few items left unrelased from the site. I intend to put them up in the next week or so for your pleasure to show you my gratitude for all these many years being with me.
I intend to focus some time on my other business interests and take the time off from performing. You may have noticed I've cut back on appearances. It's just that my heart isn't in it any more.
I wish you all the best of luck in the future.

That really is too bad, I was hoping she'd do b/g. Oh well, I hope she comes back.

If, as you describe it, there have only been a few updates in the last few months then she may have been gone for much longer than is stated and the more recent released material was done earlier and simply released slowly to entice members to stick around or get new members. In my book that is underhanded business practice and as much as I might like a performer that would leave a bitter taste in my mouth.
One of the reasons why she might have financial problems could be that traffic to her sites has dwindled over the years as members that hoped she would do more hardcore stuff left when that didn't happen and didn't want to spend 20$ on a site that is essentially solo or light lesbian.
It's too bad for those members that had a long term membership and I hope you can get some of your money back because it's like paying for a service that you can't access anymore.

Tax troubles, because of poor business/financial managers, are a definite problem for young models and everyone else trying to break into all forms of the entertainment industry--music, TV, modeling, movies or porn. So I wish Heather luck in solving her issues.
As for her coming back to porn and doing b/g, I'm not holding my breath.
Heather is a former Playboy Playmate, and to go b/g hardcore would get her banned from (whatever's left) of the Playboy Mansion/Empire, where she can make good social and business connections.
Plus, in 2010 there's still a big difference between being a Playmate and being a Pornstar. Playmates get invited to mainstream events, marry rich athletes or TV stars, get cast in mainstream TV shows, and model mainstream products. Pornstars don't. It's a reality that Heather probably is aware of--especially with the porn biz now in a major decline.
My guess is Heather will work her way out of her tax problems by either marrying a rich guy, or getting mainstream modeling jobs that pay much more and is steadier work than porn. Her Andrew Blake g/g scenes won't hurt her in getting these jobs. And shutting down her website is another way of breaking from porn in order to move her career more mainstream.

That's an interesting observation but doesn't jive with her past behavior. Heather had already told Playboy to fuck off on a number of occasions. On her Yahoo and websites, she lists herself with the title of "Playmate Gone Bad." I suspect her social and marital objectives are not the sugar daddy one. She's way to independent for that, and hates to be labeled as a mainstream conformist and controlled or limited. She's her own person, that's for sure! She has her own mind and her own ways. If she has any interest if doing B/G, there's nothing going to stop her, and certainly not any calculation of the social effects from people she has already expressed contempt for (e.g., stuck up ex-playmates and staff that condemn her for doing more explicit stuff as she desires).
Heather is way too independent for "social" calculations. If she wants to do B/G, she's going to do it ... try and stop her. If she doesn't, she won't. That's what I most adore about Heather, she doesn't give a fuck about what others think. She will do what she wants to do, when she wants to do it, regardless of the consequences. -----> That's why we want her so bad!
But this behavior also has it's draw backs since she also doesn't give much consideration to her fans that have supported her career. e.g. less than stellar communication and updates that don't match her advertising.

Once a playmate starts using toys and masturbating she has crossed over out of mainstream and doing a 5 girl orgy scene for reality kings pretty much put the nail in the coffin in ever going back to playboy.

After the forum was taken down and put back up here's a message from the webmaster (appears to be genuine):
Hello,
This is Heather's webmaster.
As you may have noticed, there have been several issues as of late with the site, but they are being sorted out now. While some have justifiably wondered about Heather's disappearance, other malicious members have been spreading misinformation, only causing further trouble.
Everything will be sorted out shortly and a full explanation shall be issued, just let it be known that the site is NOT CLOSING and all missing updates will be sorted out ASAP, in the normal advertised daily schedule.
Broken links etc are being fixed as we speak as well and once everything is fixed, another notice will be issued.
I will now be daily on the forums to sort out any questions you may have and you can contact me directly through email and MSN for those who use it to this address:
(removed)
If you have any technical questions whatsoever please feel free to direct them to me, we are very interested in doing whatever we can to bring the site to its best once again and keep you satisfied.
Best regards,
Martha

I don't know but that statement does not make me any less nervous since this is not from Heather but someone with a vested interest in keeping members quiet baout the situation. Time will tell but I certainly wouldn't join this site until I get confirmation that Heather is in fact still doing new content.

Yes, the Webmaster has posted a note to members saying the site isn't closing.
But so far it has only been the Webmaster try to stop members jumping ship. Where is Heather Carolin? Why isn't she involved?
Again, no response, no nothing. Until Heather comes back, responds to members and begins posting again, I'm going to suspect that this is nothing more than someone trying to save their business (and income) from going under at the expense of gullible sign-ups.
FACT:
1) Heather Carolin hasn't personally responded to any members since Nov 2009. As of this note, that's 5 months.
2) Although weekly updates are advertised, there has been very few if any updates, and certainly not on any regular basis. Unlike the update practice from last year where we received 2 small updates each week, either a pic and video, or 2 short videos, since the end of last year, there has been very few updates, and of those, they have NOT been pic or video sets for the most part, but "extras". In fact, what has been produced in the last 5 months by Heather wouldn't take anyone more than 1 day to produce. That's why we're so annoyed. All the members think we're being taken.
3) Of the (very rare) updates to Heather's site in the past 5 months, that content has come from other sources - e.g. in a cross site posting agreement. Whereas Heather used to produce her own content in the past (e.g. prior to 2010), so far this year we haven't seen anything yet from Heather that looks like she produced it herself (pics or videos). Many members have kindly reminder her that it only takes a couple of hours to make a home video or take some pics, but the only pics we're received from Heather has been photo's of her dog or artistic shots of scenery near her home. WHAT'S UP WITH THAT? A nice Extra, **ONLY AFTER** the main course has been delivered.
Again, Heather's Webmaster (Martha) has spoken, but still *NO* Heather. Therefore nothing has changed for the members. No updates, no responses, no nothing. But now her Webmaster is sanitizing her Forum to remove complaints. They are ALL now missing, only the good posts remain. I suppose so new members that haven't experienced this will blindly continue their membership so they can soak them for as much as they can before they catch on. Because now, the members can't communicate with each other without going through the censor.
WHAT A SHAME.

My observation is that many performers in porn portray themselves as "independent" and "rebels"--until either their careers (as they all do) begins to slide, or the biz in general slides. Then it's a matter of paying the rent, and if that means finding a Sugar Daddy or working for mainstream companies (as a realtor, receptionist, or in healthcare) then they rush to do it. And you'll find them living in the OC in Cali, pretending they never did porn. Plus, in Heather's case, her g/g only policy suggests that she never fully committed to being a Pornstar/Rebel.
So I would not be surprised if Heather "married well" or re-connected with the Playboy folks or did other mainstream work--which shutting down her old website & porn persona makes more likely. It's reality.

What happens when life becomes one great big party --- at someone else's expense. A cautionary tale for would be Heather Carolin website subscribers.

There's a lot of folks that have followed Heather Carolin for these last 5 years
asking "What is going on with her?" "She just dropped out"
Why has she disappeared? The reason is found in numbers : 420, 4:20, or 4/20.
Why has she given up on businesses? Why has she given up on her loyal fans?
Why has she given up period? Again, 420.
For those of you in the 'know', you understand that 420 refers to the
consumption of cannabis. All fine and good. Who doesn't like a little fun now
and again? To have a day reserved for the stuff seems as American today as
apple pie and Momma. To kick back, let the world fly by while you light up, do
nothing, relax, and take a vacation from life itself, has real appeal; albeit if
short lived.
But what if you made 420 day, everyday? What is you made life one big holiday,
at the expense of those around you. Sitting around, doing nothing, and token it
up day after day after day sounds appealing to some. But to others, that is the
others that are paying $$$ for it and your burnout lifestyle, the attraction
loses some of it's glamor; it's not so fun any more for those around you. This
is when fun becomes a real and serious problem.
This is what's going on with Heather.
She's been long associated with the stuff. Read her interviews in 2002 Playboy
and you'll see she is a self described 'stoner' chick. But the habit has grown
over the years with her lifestyle changes. She's stop functioning due to 420
day, now being every day. It has consumed her life and her lifestyle. She
doesn't have to give a fuck about her business or her fans or anything else when
she's got good ol' reefer to help her along and be her friend. As long as her
websites keep her in the green stuff (both literally and figuratively), she'll
be flying along without a care - at the detriment of her fans - to not care
about losing her reputation, her integrity and her fan base.
UPDATE:
As for her websites and fans waiting, waiting and more waiting for any activity.
Heather's advertised "every week updates" to her websites are now on target for every other
month
, at best. And what's been posted lately looks like stuff she was going 3 years
ago and just got around to posting it whenever.
She's given up in favor of Dr. FeelGood. And her Fans have the pleasure of
paying for her party.
