| niterunner Member 84 Posts 6/05 |  Posted - Jun 29 2005 : 10:15AMJenna Jameson is smart,without a doubt. I am sure she has had help marketing herself, but I'm sure she figured out some herself. I guess my question is, is it more that she has a covergirl face or she just knows how to market herself. [Link] |

Gentleman Jon  All-Star Member 1881 Posts 6/05 | Posted - Jun 29 2005 : 11:54AM I'm pretty sure that JJ will be posting here later, unless she gets an uncharacteristic attack of modesty. But I'll put in my two cents for now. I will assume you have read her book. If you haven't, go find it and read it. But anyway, Yes, JJ is beautiful. But at her level, well, there aren't any contract girls who aren't beautiful. There are lots of other women in porn who are just as beautiful as or even more beautiful than JJ, depending on a person's personal preferences concerning hair color, complexion, height, build, natural breasts or implants, presence or lack of tattoos and piercings, etc. etc. So there are lots of other really gorgeous girls in porn, but you usually don't see or hear about them as much in mainstream media, whether it's a news report on the porn industry or one of those countdown list shows on VH1, or see them in advertisements for non-porn items in non-porn magazines, or see them mentioned in articles in mainstream magazines about powerful women in business and entertainment. Why not? The other girls may have perfectly nice personalities, but they don't the have the charisma or ready articulateness of Jenna. Do we remember Muhammad Ali in 2005 more because he was a good boxer, or because he had that mouth that was always talking about how he was the greatest or reciting funny rhymes he wrote? [Link] |

| Gentleman Jon All-Star Member 1881 Posts 6/05 | Posted - Jun 29 2005 : 3:32PM Is Jenna raising the expectations of some girls to think that they can be as big as her, setting them up to fail? I don't think so. There have always been starry-eyed kids with dreams bigger than their talent or supply of good luck, and always will be, in every business and every genre. But they don't have to be tragedies; tragic endings usually come from drug addictions and extremely bad relationships. If you stay clean or get clean of all of that then you should be fine, even if you don't become the next big rock star, mainstream movie star, or porn star. And Jenna seems to be normally very supportive of newbies in the Adult business with advice, etc. At least that's what she said in her book and that's the impression I get when I have read some of her posts on this website.

| opdjohn New Member Tucson Arizona 2 Posts 6/05 | Posted - Jun 29 2005 : 5:35PM Also take into account that JJ has been very calculating or at least it appears that way in doing really less then 100 movies over what close to 10 yrs. Really I would also call her extremely lucky too. I also would say that Howard Stern and E channel where super big helps also. Remember Cannes yrs ago she was everywhere. I honestly think the difference between most girls is timing. JJ has had the luck of the timing forsure plus the backing of 3 great studios. I personally dont ever see there being another woman in adult attaining the levels that JJ has for the simple reason of burn out and lack of great projects and market saturations. Plus there doesnt seem to be that marketablity of many girls. In todays porn closest would probably be Jesse Jane and that is a far off second. You really dont see any of the girls now days hosting an E special or VHI or anything close and Howard seems to be kind of blown out and will let any one on his show. [Link] |

| Phlogiston Deactivated User Whore-loving Thought Criminal 92 Posts 6/05 | Posted - Jun 30 2005 : 3:44AM I really can't think of a pornstar who has openly presented herself to the public as a pornstar. Before her, starlets attempted to use porn as a spring-board to mainstream "actress" status, with no real success. I also think she is personable, which allowed her to shine in her Howard Stern appearances and on the E! network. She defied the pre-conceived biases that pornstars were drug-addled bimbos from broken homes. She's just the girl-next-door who can suck cock. How can anyone not like that? [Link] |

| veronica_mars Deactivated User Arizona 106 Posts 6/05 | Posted - Jul 10 2005 : 4:28AM It's not. Why was Madonna...Madonna? Or the Beatles...the Beatles? You can go on forever with good, solid reasons, but it's almost a waste of effort trying to REALLY understand it. But in her business, JJ is Madonna AND the Beatles. There won't ever be anyone else like her and when you say that, it's not a knock against anyone else. When Madonna comes into a room, other celebrities stop what they're doing and look at her. Jenna is just like that and it's really goes so far beyond looks and intelligence and work ethic, especially after you've read her book (and I paid for mine, do I get a prize? ), you almost just have to believe she was fated to be what she is. I would guess, that there have to be times, when it's even surreal to her. I remember seeing her with that "blowhard" Bill O'Reilly, who's very job is to lie about almost everthing and act completely sanctimonious, and when her was interviewing Jenna his head nearly blew up. He's interviewed and met beautiful people before, but this was Jenna Jameson. It was like he was interviewing Marilyn Monroe and, in a way, he was.
