Has anyone seen her last two movies: Don't Fuck My Sister and La Boutique? I'm considering buying them but I want to know if the sex scenes, particularly Kayden's, are any good first. By good I mean longer than 10 minutes and without excessive editing and close-ups of penetration. Thanks.
^ I haven't seen either movie but on twitter Kayden said that her two scenes in 'don't fuck my sister' are her two best of the last year

I'm skeptical that has any bearing on the final product. The last few of her movies I've bought have been let downs because of the things I mentioned. It has little to do with her enjoying herself in the scenes.

With Robby D. directing them you can count on the excessive editing and the close-ups of penetration. The dude's a one trick pony and the one trick sucks.

There's plenty of Robby D directed DP movies that have good sex scenes in them. Just not so much recently, imo.
And my response is that if she really wanted to go girl/girl only, she wouldn't have signed her DP contract at the very least, since she would have good and well known that signing that contract meant she was doing to have to do b/g for the duration of it. There are plenty of women out there that make a decently living only doing girl/girl scenes, and there's even a few companies that are willing to contract g/g performers (RK, Twisty's, Girlfriend Films). That is, of course, assuming that this is something she wanted to do since before that switch. Edit: I just get the impression that she never wants to leave the stability that being a contract performer allows, and she knows that that means she's going to have to keep doing b/g scenes. If she wanted to switch to girls only at any point before she signed the DP contract, she could have done so very easily. Edited by - whatsatelephonebill on 4/27/2013 10:46:48 PM
Why ask this question? If she has to ask then the answer must be no because she doesn't want to do it anymore than she did in her two past ones and the final product is likely to suffer because of that. Better she do something that she likes and people enjoy it.

I don't think that's necessarily true. Considering that it's for her own website and it's kind of out of the blue, I doubt she feels pressured to do it.
If Kayden shot a anal scene for her site I'd join. Granted, I'd probably join her site anyway, but it would be awesome if she did decide to do an anal scene.
kayden loves to do scenes with manuel ferrara and erick everhard, I like to see her doing scenes with lex steele, yaushua prince, sean michaels, shane diesel ', too would like to see her doing scenes with porn actresses Colombian: ariella ferrera, esperanza gomez, franceska jaimes and monique fuentes
Mike South is reporting Kayden has been g/g only since March and just quit DP. Who knows if it's true, he's also reported Jesse went g/g only last winter, BiBi was skipping shoots, Selena was confined to Florida and couldn't shoot, (all not true), and still hasn't rreported that Riley has apparently quit porn. So take it with several grains of salt.
^ I'm pretty sure the g/g part is true at least. For what it's worth, therealpornwikileaks.com also posted a story about a "shakeup" at DP, and that site has been pretty reliable in my experience. At this point, I'd much rather see Kayden under contract with anyone but DP (or independent, ideally).
I don't really think her leaving DP will result in her working independently for anyone and everyone. If she has left DP I'm guessing she'll either retire or stick to shooting for her own website. Considering she's under contract can she just get up and leave? Wasn't she directing g/g flicks for DP too? What exactly is this change in the way DP shoots their scenes that made Kayden stop doing b/g? I can honestly say I haven't seen any change in their scenes for a very long time.

I know she directed at least one g/g movie for them. As far as why she would want out now, who knows. But if you believe the same sources, DP went through a change in management fairly recently, and is supposedly dealing with budget problems. It seems like all of their contract girls have been unhappy with DP at one point or another.
to me it's obvious why kayden stopped doing b/g, a few months ago manuel (her boyfriend) said on his twitter that he was no longer doing scenes for digital cause they weren't paying him enough (which seems ridiculous as there are guys who probably have the same or higher rates than manuel that still work for digital playground all the time, Sounds like Manuel is going a little too diva). and then recently kayden said on her twitter she would only do b/g with manuel. Therefore, no more b/g for Kayden at digital playground. and I'm guessing if she does do porn for anyone else, the 'b/g only with manuel' rule will still apply. They do great scenes together but I've seen enough to last me a lifetime, so thanks but no thanks.

I can tell you that this is not true. Also, if a company decides to not pay someone his or her rate, what exactly is diva about not accepting less?
If Manuel's rate is higher than james deen or erik evrhard's then I think that's bs and 'diva' like. And I'm not talking about just this, i'm talking about other things said about him lately that suggest he's thinking a little too highly of himself these days.

Give specifics. If you're calling someone out about what kind of person they are and not just as a performer come with facts. Also, not taking a pay cut is not 'diva'. It is well known that Digital shoots are some of the longest in the business. Think about it, if he works 4 hrs. and gets his scene rate, why would he take a pay cut from them to work 8 hrs? It doesn't make business sense. Digital wanted to cut costs and I personally believe they cut in the wrong place. I get your point, both sides are looking out for their financial interest, but you made it seem like it had something to do with him being disliked and I really don't get that sense. Also, if Jules Jordan, Elegant and Mile High among others are still paying his rate then it's probably not too crazy. Digital's sex scenes are already kinda weak comparatively IMO, the last thing they need is lesser male talent. If they lose Kayden and Manuel as a result of wanting to save a tiny bit of money, it looks like a bad deal. This is my exchange with her on Reddit regarding this situation. http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1b7szy/hi_we_are_kayden_kross_and_tucky_williams_stars/c94glhd?context=3 Edited by - erik2690 on 8/1/2013 11:25:03 PM Edited by - erik2690 on 8/2/2013 12:51:37 AM
I recommend Kayden's new blog post from this week: What to expect when you're expecting a Porn Career It's not only presenting sound advice to new girls entering the industry, but by telling that, Kayden also reflects on the difference between porn now and porn when she entered the business, and also openly shares her views on general aspects of the business (e.g. agents and agencies, with a clear opinion about Derek Hay...). An interesting read.

I read that too. I thought the part about agents and agencies was particularly interesting.
^ i liked the Financial tips, because no one talks about that and it's needed. Or as Mike South said on his twitter feed: "How to retire by the time you are 30 in porn"!! Recent projects w/ Kayden: AshleyMadison - «Zombies International» TV Ad LRSCOMEDY - Jurassic : Stoned Age Blue Dream (2013) DVD Release Date: September 10, 2013
Most girls in porn should definitely read and learn from that blog. Sadly I'm sure buying purses, shoes and weed is probably more important than investing/saving money and getting health insurance to a decent amount of girls in porn.
Kayden clearly has some acting chops, and she doesn't need to become the next Julia Roberts to make a living in Hollywood. If you read her xcritic blog, you will see that when she signed her first contract, she made around $6000 per movie. Assuming her rate has doubled and that she makes 10 films per year for DP, her current DP contract may be worth around $120,000 plus benefits. She has already made a reasonable income from her part-time mainstream work. If you look at the SAG minimum pay for commercials, then she was paid at least $627.75 for the Zombie shoot. The real money is in residuals. I not sure how to read the residual rate chart, but it seems possible that they pay her $2511/year to keep it on the internet. The ad seems to be running on cable. As of my checking, it has aired 24 times, most recently on Spike. The "Cable minimum" is $627.75 every thirteen weeks for as long as the ad runs. If it goes on any Broadcast networks, the numbers get much bigger. As for the movie, assuming it was SAG, it looks like the minimum weekly rate was $2979 for her time on set. Residuals for straight-to-video don't kick in until 100,000 units sell, but after that the cast gets a minimum of 6% of gross receipts (plus pension and benefits). The money is distributed based on how much time each performer spent on set. Given the Kayden seems to be one of the co-stars, I would guess she will get a fair share of the residuals if it does well. I have no idea if the made-for-internet comedy video was SAG. Of course, SAG rates reflect the fact that most performers are playing the lottery. Their day-to-day job involves going to auditions, and when they get paid gigs, they need to cover the cost of finding the work. Kayden's situation is different. Because of her career in porn, producers know what they are getting. She won't audition unless the producer is looking to hire a former porn star. No cattle calls for Kayden. She is 27. Based on her blog, I would guess she's "sitting on six figures in the bank, a retirement account, some stock investments, and [her] own home." She gets residuals from Fleshlight and from clubkayden.com. According to IAFD, she has made 100 movies, and I haven't jerked off to all of them... yet. I wish her success whatever she decides to do in the future.
Great news for Kayden and Manuel. Congratulations to them! I wish Kayden Kross all the best during her pregnancy, may she stay healthy and finally have a birth without complications.
