She is 1 of the MANY girls that got the Contract burnout. I assume she is likely retired or taking an extended break. Last I heard she was looking at doing music stuff, but I never heard how that worked out. Sadly I think she falls into the category of the many former Contract Stars that we will likely never see around Porn again. There are always multiple reasons for many things, but I believe the 2 main reasons a lot of these Contract Stars have left or reconsidered possible comebacks are the HIV situation & the extreme circus act turn Hardcore(Gonzo) has taken. Those Contract Stars are likely faced with a tough decision. Leave the biz or take a trip DOWN that road to circus land. Most seem to be choosing to leave. I'm holding on to hope that some things will happen to either bring Harcore(Gonzo) back closer to where it was at it's peak in the late 90's/early 2000's or will cut out the cancer(circus act stuff) from the biz. I'm really liking hearing about this company that Jack Lawrence is starting. Hopefully others like him will rise up as well to give the former Contract Star's another(better) option than leave or circus act.
From what little I see of features, the sex is not circus like Gonzo. In fact, many raincoaters mourn when women who were spectacular in Gonzo become contract stars. Nicole Sheridan, Jenna Haze, Shyla, Cheyenne Silver, Taylor Hayes, etc. went on to become contract workers. They never did anything as extreme as before.

There are plenty of fans who enjoy the sex just a tad less "extreme" than the 'double everythings' and upside down, flying, two and a half back flip BJs we are seeing now. If it has gotten to the point where those lucky actresses who worked contract would rather leave the industry than return to that , than Gonzo is doing a disservice to the industry and its fans. Its not going anywhere soon (still too much money to be made relatively cheaply), so here's to hoping they can tone it down a notch.
Well, we'll see if Ashcroft has another four years before making that judgement. If it is illegal for Americans to smoke a Cuban cigar anywhere in the world, I'm sure it can be made illegal to watch porn while you have US citizenship.
Thank-you for clarifying the point though. I don't see why I woman wouldn't just go to another company that does features, just do individual scenes for those same companies without a contract, or just some less extreme gonzo.
Cheyenne Silver made her reputation doing one guy at a time, anals, and some three-ways with a woman. I'm sure fans would watch that again.
Or start a company that does 'tweener stuff. There must be a market of guys who find features/couples films too soft yet find the majority of gonzo too extreme.

That would be me. I've been preaching this since I arrived in ADT land. I have a hard time finding any kind of porn that I really like. Which is why I hardly ever buy it.
I would hazard a guess and say the reason that alot of contracty stars don't just sign-on with another studio id the "burn-out" factor. Alot of these contract girls seem to be pumping out material at record clips when they're under contract...but that's just a guess!
The women seem to have the highest output when they are new. Look at Bridgette Kerkove's first year. I was saying that they could take time off, then sign with another company if they wanted to return to porn, or do individual scenes, which would obviously be at a rate of their own choosing.
damn i miss jacking off to raylene, she was one of my first favorite porn stars. last time i heard of her doing anything was back in like november 2003, she did a feature at a strip club around here, i went and got a polaroid with her and she signed it, and thats the last i ever heard of her since then. at least i got something to remember her by!!
