Yeah, but she knows what she's all about -- not your typical porn chick by a country mile. Porn can come and go, but girls like Katin are few and far between. I'll vote Katin over porn every single day of the week.

Hey skronker!
Don't undercut my compliment to make it seem like it wasn't positive. Your just big time skronker and might see Katin away from Porn, but for most of us her being away from Porn means us not being able to see her again. Maybe 1 day I can get to your level skronker and it not be upsetting to me when beautiful Stars retire.
Nah -- I just happened to meet her once when she was off-camera for a while. I was trying to speak to a bigger issue, which is that girls are really smart to get in and get out when it's all still fun and fresh, and not stay in so long or for the wrong reasons and then end up all used and abused. You've seen a million cute young girls acquire the look of a cynical hag in no time flat, because they burned themselves out. And there ain't no coming back.
I just think Katin's kinda special, and I know she's got a zillion scenes coming out shortly, and that's cool by me. But the idea that she wants to do other things besides be a porn star suggests she's got something ticking upstairs (not that there's anything wrong with being a porn star -- and making a whole career out of it, if that's what you want to do) besides a cash register and a libido. And more power to her.
"You've seen a million cute young girls acquire the look of a cynical hag in no time flat, because they burned themselves out. And there ain't no coming back."
Katin told me in December that she was done and that the expo would be her last gig. I semifreaked a little. It took until the expo and conferring with Skronk did I finally confirm why.

No doubt skronker,
I wasn't trying to say all she was good for was Porn though. Just saying I'm not loving the idea that it took me until right as she retired to catch on to how fucking amazing she is. Also that I would love to get the off camera chat you had. If she leaves Porn it's likely I will never see that chance. Also, "I just think Katin's kinda special" your being far too understated. I was only in her presence for maybe a minute or 2. Not only is she the most beautiful female I've ever had my eyes focus on, but she was also 1 of the sweetest females at AVN. I say "extremely special" fits her better.
* Katin, 20, signs at the Red Light District booth. She's been in porn over a year and did about 100 movies. She says she is no longer in porn and doesn't want to be here. I ask her why she got out. She says she wants to have a future. "I planned on quitting. This isn't a career. It was just for fun.
"I want to go to school. Right now I am more focused on the fun things you can do while you're young -- snowboarding, surfing, working at a normal job (secretarial work in an office), living it up like a normal kid. Finally, I am living life like a normal person."
Has your porn background come back to hurt you?
"No. I figure it will but I have good ways of dealing with it. I don't let it bother me."
Do your coworkers know you were a porn star?
"Yeah. They don't have a problem with it."
Is it an office in the adult world?
"Yes," she laughs.
Katin says she only performed in porn five or six times a month.
Luke: "What did you love and what did you hate about the industry?"
Katin: "This is a bad time to ask me these questions because I'd rather not be here."
She did her last movie ten weeks ago. She says she won't be coming back because of "health issues. I have [ovarian] cancer. But it's ok. Everything's been taken care of. I don't like talking about it."

Sounds like she's doing okay, but cancer is never a good thing. Hopefully she has many years ahead of her.
I love Katin like you wouldn't believe. Her decision to leave porn is personal and should remain that way. I met her at the RLD booth during the convention is it was way too emotional for either of us to bear. I also hear she has a very supportive significant other now and wish them the best of luck.
She's a rarity in this business. Smart, vivacious personality, and a true class act. She's just an awesome girl who always gave 100% to everything she did for me.
She's an amazing girl. Her star will glitter long after her retirement.
Yea, I wish the best to you katin...come back to adt chat soon too :)
I hope katin gets better with her health...Im surpised because shes so healthy and wholesome looking, unlike some of the gaunt, frail, dark eyed women in films today.
Sounds like the consumptive heroines of romantic lit, circa 19th century, wandering in the heather in search of a cheeseburger and a heedless Moor to bang.
Clearly, we have tapped the archetypal motherlode. I see a postgrad thesis here. "Katin vs. Anti-Katin: Erotic Ideals and Feminine Physiology, from DW Griffith to Chico Wang."
