Jenna Jameson

Does anyone else find it ironic that Jenna Jameson is the poster girl for the porn industry?
I sense there is a desire in some parts of the industry for porno to become more acceptable in mainstream, whatever they mean by that term, with awards like Crossover Star at the AVN Awards. It always strikes me as a slightly apologetic award, striving for something they are not instead of embracing what they are. So given this backdrop of wonderful glittery mainstream, it strikes me as incongruous for porn land as a whole to regard Jenna Jameson as their hero. A woman that is the embodiment of the whole drugs and partying stereotype that porn is always fighting to shake itself from.
If, as an industry, they really want to be seen more favorably in the mainstream, which is the impression i get, they really need to establish a more clean cut figurehead and shed themselves of the shadow of JJ. I've read her book and she was a giant meth head who went on drug fueled feature dancing escapades while under Contract. I wouldnt say she was a professional or a good example to follow, unless being spun out on drugs is the aim. At the height of her success, she herself admits to having a Diva attitude and giant Ego. But most of all, she is the cliche of the lifestyle that parents fear the most upon hearing their daughter is going to start making adult movies. There must be plenty of clean living examples in porn, but their non headline making nature means people outside of porn dont hear of them in the same way. And it sure will be frustrating for them to be tarred with the same brush.
For me, so long as there is a mentality where JJ is revered rather than condemned within the industry, they are ensuring they will always be non mainstream. I like porn and have no problem with where porn fits in society, i think it is where it should be and has done well for many years. That is, in its own enjoyable world, one which consumers can choose to indulge themselves in. And as we know, have and many do. It sucks that girls can suffer stigma for doing porno, but again a big part of that is due to the impression the public have got from the antics of people such as JJ. I would go so far as to say it is incompatible to bemoan a poor public perception while still holding a light up anyone who behaved as JJ did. It's a double edged sword if they still want to embrace her as a success story on how women can make serious bank. But maybe im misreading it and mainstream is nothing and there isnt much concern on how the industry performers are perceived. In which case, thanks and carry on.
