| SelenaSilver Selena Silver 529 Posts 7/03 | After reading a lot of negative about porn stars, I think it is about time we read about the positive as well - so I thought I would start a little series called "Porn Star Positives" highlighting the good about the porn stars I have met. Probably things you never hear about because it isn't "news". Sure, I realize it isn't as intriguing or morbidly fascinating to think of porn stars as normal people who have a lot going for them - but I am going to present that side. I don't pretend that all of us are wonderful whole human beings. Of course, I can't think of any industry that can say that every person in it is without fault. Yes, I acknowledge that allot of what you read about porn girls or guys is probably true about THOSE INDIVIDUALS. But, I think that there has been a progressive shift in the kind of girls getting into porn and their reasons for doing it but that the way girls are judged and all lumped into a single stereotype hasn't changed. Not all porn girls are on drugs; not all porn girls were abused; not all porn girls are from broken homes; not all porn girls are broke; not all porn girls are dumb. I have met some pretty amazing women and men in this business. I have met many people I have a lot of respect for and care for. I am constantly amazed at the talent and character of people I meet in this business. And, since the ugly side of this business is already well documented and written about on every news & gossip site on the web, I can write about the good in the people I meet. I am not pretending the bad is not there - it is just already written about enough. So without any more of explanation of Porn Star Positives can I just tell you about Katja Kassin? ----------------------------------------------------------- I have wanted to come and write something about Katja ever since I shot with her the last week of November. How can I put into words how incredible this girl is? It isn't just that I find her very sexy or that she is dynamite performer- I knew all that from watching her on screen. What I didn't know until I worked with her was how incredibly intelligent she is and what a positive attitude she posses. The day we were shooting our scene for ATOGM - the Jake Malone movie from RLD- we actually had a very long day with two tasks instead of just one. First, we were shooting the box cover for the RLD gangbang that Katja and I are doing after AVN. Second, we were shooting our normal pretty girls and scene for the ATOGM movie. You want to know why RLD's box covers look so great? Well, they have a very talented photographer who sets up an incredible amount of equipment and spends several hours trying to get that perfect shot. Katja and I were in the perfect box cover outfits and planned poses. The photographer would shoot some shots and print out the results for us to look at. He would show us the photos and tell us what he liked and what he didn't. Jake Malone would give his input. Mason was there that day as well and she would give her input too. Then we would shoot again, print again, talk again. Shoot again, print again, talk again. Two hours later, they decided they had captured it and they would later go through the incredible amount of photos he took to find just ONE - the one for the box. Posing for two hours can be demanding (the positions aren't always comfortable) and tiring. Not only did I watch the top-notch professionalism of Katja Kassin as she did the job she was being paid to do with the best attitude - but I learned so much from watching her. Katja gets her job. I mean she understands the angles, the positions, the poses. She is amazing at figuring out how her body should go to make the shot work. Time after time she made a suggestion that both the director Jake Malone and the photographer looked at each other and said "let's do that!" I remember during the shooting of the sex scene after so many good ideas from her about positions and camera angles Jake Malone (who is as creative as they come) stopped and looked at her and said "You should be directing your own line". That one line captured Katja Kassin. She is so far from the mindless bimbo that shows up and barely follows directions throughout the shoot (and I know they are out there). Katja makes the scene she is in BETTER because she cares enough to deliver a great performance and she is intelligent enough to add value to the scene with her ideas. When we were driving home from that scene I told my husband "Katja Kassin is going to be a GREAT director one day if she wants to be". I had admired her on screen for her sexy body and her even more sexy performances. I went home from working with her even more turned on by her because I realized her intelligence, professionalism, and dedication was far sexier. I learned allot that day by watching Katja. I am better because I have met her. Our scene that day went really well because we both care about our scenes and we are both willing to go the extra mile. This post isn't about ATOGM - I have written about it in other places - but, I would SO recommend that movie. Katja and I rocked together. And, the other girls in the movie are also incredible and probably rocked there scene as well. What really, really stands out to me about Katja is how smart she is. Katja - thanks for being such an inspiration to me. I know why Manuel Ferrara's eyes light up when he talks about working with you. You freaking rock. Selena Silver FANS: [Link] |

| Crucifixio_Jones Senior Member Arrogant & Obnoxious Narcissist 4727 Posts 10/03 | I have also noticed throughout the years that some pornstars, even though they may not be your personal cup of tea, know what looks good on camera and more importantly, know what ON THEM looks good on camera. That is truly the difference between your mediocre pornstar and your GREAT ones. Katja is already superior and easily head and shoulders above a pool of peers that is probably larger now than it has ever been at any other point in adult entertainment history. And I only see her getting better. Here's to Kassin and let's hope she puts in many more years in front of or behind the camera if she chooses and fulfills that unlimited potential that so many of us, close to her and not-so-close to her, can see is so readily apparent. |

| cobalt60 Knuckle Dragger 2046 Posts 2/03 | I've always thought it was even more morbidly fascinating that porn stars are "normal people who have a lot going for them" - and are often at home watching the same crappy TV show I am! Overall though, Selena, wouldn't you agree that ADT is more positive than negative? Of course! We're a party on a keyboard. Like Barry said, I consciously try to be more positive than negative around here and it seems like the vast majority of the other members do, too. There are days I'm so damn happy I can't help but get a little on ya! But anyway... Thank you for that glimpse into Katja's positive qualities. What a cool chick! And "knowing just where to put your body" to get some of those boxcover ass arch angles is indeed a fine qualification for someone in the business of arching their ass for boxcover photos. (That was meant to be deadpanned. Damn text.) I'll always lavish everyone here with positivity (except when I'm in a pissy mood ). It's the least I can do. There will always be haters, so I've decided it's my duty (to please that booty) to overcompensate for 'em! Was I good? ... because I feel so naughty . Yeah, baby, spank my bad little radioactive booty. *SMACK* Oh...YEAH...again! *SMACK* Oh, BABY!! WHOA -- it just registered that you said you shot a scene for a movie called ATOGM ... WITH KATJA KASSIN!! Well, damn, that's the most positive thing I've heard all day. Thank you! Just when I think I've lost interest (yeah, right), the thought of you two together gets "two eyebrows arched WAY up." Something's up, anyway. |
| KatjaKassin Senior Member 1257 Posts 5/03 | Thank you very much for your kind words about me and my work. I just got home from the Dominican Republic - I shot serveral scenes for the scottish director Gazzman. I am a little tired from the trip and I have got a really red sun burned nose (which looks quite funny on me *smile*) and a lot of mosquito bites... I would be happy if I had the opportunity to direct my own movies one day. Everybody that knows me will tell you that I am very organized - this is one of the most important skills a director must have I think. I run two different adult websites already (more to come) - the content is shot exclusively, I manage the entire project with my company(model booking, outfit/make up, production, editing, database, programming, hosting, payment, updates etc.) Anyway if I shot my own movies I would like to feature scenes with submissive girls and agressive guys and lots of anal of course ;-) Selena, I hope to meet you at the show in Vegas ... I will arrive in L.A. 1st of January. Thanks again for your feedback. I wish you a very Christmas and a happy new year! Katja Edited by - katjakassin on 12/16/2003 9:21:32 AM |

Ich hoffe es! ...Katja...mag sie auch noch so schön sein. ...please forgive me for that, it was fun to try! Did I make any sense? Noch einmal, ich hoffe es! P.S. Lass dich nicht unterkriegen! Woo-hoo! Literally! Fröhliche Weihnachten und ein gesundes neues Jahr! |

| KatjaKassin Senior Member 1257 Posts 5/03 | There were many czech girls and no hungarians. I shared my room with american beauty Monique - I spent a good time with her, we laughed so much (thanks to Xavier)... we build a winning team as we killed serveral cockroaches, bugs and mosquitos in our room togehther. The weather was fantastic, I got a nice tan and I saw the biggest spider ever in my life. Katja |

| KatjaKassin Senior Member 1257 Posts 5/03 | yes, it is true I am 24 years old. Besides porn I spend a lot time in my office here in Germany where I work with my company on our websites and I am still university student. I like to go to the movies or spent time with friends (pretty much the same what everybody else does, too). I don't want to write too much about my personal love life - but I have one *smile*... that should be enough for right now. Katja |

Grüße, s.O. p.s. Ich vermute keine Antwort war ein Nein. Schade, ich hätte gerne gewußt, ob es medizinische Standards im E.- Bereich gibt und ob der Sex anders ist als im HC-Business. |

| KatjaKassin Senior Member 1257 Posts 5/03 | Ramsey: All both scenes in this movie end with cum shots on my feet, it features toe licking and barefoot shots... secluded Observer: I tell them you said hello, I see them every night when I fall a sleep --- explanation: Anton the Autch beetle and Sigmung the Christmas elch (named after Sigmung Freud) are two of my teddy bears. They are famous now because I introduced them to the audience in German TV yesterday night on the show "Wa(h)re Liebe"... Katja |

Thanks for the tip DVD_Freak. I look forward seeing this movie. |

It's probably not very well known here but you've also been working for an escort agency. Do you still do that? The problem with that business is that it's even harder to look behind the scenes than bts of the porn industry. Could I ask how the recruitment of an escort agency works? Secondly, (German) law doesn't set any medical standards. Does the agency do it? If so, what are these standards? Last question: I've never booked an escort, so I wonder what the sex is like? Are there some 'customers' that simply want to test the sexual boundaries? Thanks in advance, s.O.

Welcome to the forum. Here is a link to a thread that tells which girls will be signing for which companies, and where possible the times that they will be at the booths. It includes the Evil Angel booth and their girls. DenverDon <<<<[[[[ |
| Steve B New Member Leipzig/ Germany 1 Posts 12/03 | After there has been written so much positive about Katja here's what a person thinks that worked with her for several years: As a model she is the best partner for a photographer I could think of. She brings in her own ideas, knows every position and can pose without any recommends of the photographer. She always also knows the point of view of the viewer and can imagine how she entertains best. After we were running the company she speaks about together for almost two years I know that she will be a great producer. She is well known for her discipline and creativity. We produced thousands of photos together and some video clips and also co-produced a hardcore video. Although she kicked me out of our company I wish her all the best and I am sure she has a great future in adult entertainment. All the best |
