Because when you weigh 114lbs some goofy reviewer says you're chunky and it hurts your feelings. Also, when you're doing anal scenes you don't eat or you eat very lightly. If you have more than one a week it might seriously cut into your caloric intake. Some performers (myself included) don't like to eat before any scene (because of bloat, tummy noise, or gas). If you work several days of the week, guess what, you don't eat that whole week. I lost 9 pounds in 15 days during one of my trips to LA. It happens. You want lots of scenes from your favorite gals, they're going to lose weight.
I have to agree with Kami about the whole anal thing you dont like to eat really before a scene, and also the whole thing people telling you are fat, doesnt help, so we think if we lose a few pounds it means more work, i mean i lost 20 lbs since i got there and i am now happy with myself as well as other people i work with and for.

But are also girls who get more voluminous, for example Katsumi. In ger first scenes she was quite skinny (Multiple POV), but now she has gained weight (Anal Expedition 6). Teach me if I'm wrong. So there are girls who are more skinny, and there are girls, who grew.
it's just some goofy reviewers. I got a DVD (starring a girl i like) and in the BTS a the director was saying that when he first met her (when she started in the biz)she was heavy .. "30 pounds"
WTF? first of all, that is some rude ass shit to say to someone, let alone someone who is performing for you in a scene
fuck, no wonder people have a complex about their size. i seriously doubt any chick wants to be told when they first started working in porn they were 30 pounds over.
why draw attention to that? even IF she was (which in my opinion she was not...i have a lot of her early stuff and i actually dig her more then....)
I can give some jackass on the web some slack(not much tho) because everyone is a badass and it's easier to type a bunch of remarks out without thinking about their consequence.
..i am not one of those people.
BUT to actually give one hell of a backhanded "compliment" in person is some lack of couth IMHO
maybe i'm overreacting, but shit...to me, that's kinda like saying "you used to be ugly..."
then you're like "fuck...was i that bad?"
it would have been rather easy to say "you are in better shape now" "wow, you've got more in tone" something like that but it would have taken some type of decorum
Monstar! Glad to see you're on here! (We used to chat on MySpace before I deleted my account) I agree with you- I actually am one of those girls who comes across "heavier" on camera, and it kinda sucks seeing yourself like that, but it makes a WORLD of a difference when everyone says "you look better in person." Yeah, it sucks, because not everyone is going to see you in person, but it definitely makes one feel better. I don't do anal scenes, but shit, maybe I'll start if I'm going to lose 15 lbs a week! Well, maybe not, but I had no idea what it did to girls. Even though I'm in the industry, I had no idea what those scenes did to girls- that's harsh business! More power to you ladies!! xoxo
I don't think I'm skinny but I'm getting so tired of explaining myself. I feel so much better about myself now. I get more work and only compliments on how i look.
And I just shot Missy last week and she is everything but skinny - she looks great curvy and busty.
We've been discussing this one pretty much continuously, for the years I've been in this forum. The best, (and most mature), one was probably HERE.
I absolutely worship the Sara Jays, Olivia O'Lovelys and Flower Tuccis of the world, but those girls have a definite look and body type that is outside the norm of what generates the most appeal for the most people. And so, no matter how much I, and guys like me, adore them, their popularity is still fairly segmented. This in turn can sometimes limit the type and amount of work a porn girl can get. When porn agents, producers and directors tell a girl that she needs to "change her appearance", (i.e., lose weight), to make her more marketable and to get more work, the girls are gonna listen. There is too much evidence of this phenomenon for it not to be true. Friday, Gia Paloma, Isobel Ice, Mia Bangg and others are all girls whose voluptuousness was striking when they first entered the porn biz, but who radically changed their looks in order to get more work and further their career. My very favorite newcomer this year has been the dazzling Georgia X , and I am thrilled by the performances by her that I've seen so far, but I knew it was just a matter of time before she got the message either directly or indirectly that she was gonna hafta make some changes in order to get more work and advance her career. And as much as I love her the way I've seen her, I can't really begrudge her doin' what she has to. If a bonafide, first level, mega star like Katja Kassin , who always gives outstanding performances, is subject to these same kinds of pressures, or has to endure these same indignities of getting sent home from a shoot, or not being considered for a part, because some porn producer thinks she is "too fat", then some new, porn girl has no chance against that kind of pressure.
Katja, i was just wondering about the reason why a few of my favorite performers were losing weight. Kami gladly explained her view and you don't have to if you don't want to. Nonetheless it's nice reading your reply.

I would also like to make a comment on this topic... if you notice everytime i arrive in America, I have signifficantly got more curves than when I leave. This has absolubtly nothing to do with pressure to loose weight, it's has more to do with the fact i can't eat hardly anything for the 3 months I'm in America so I don't shit all over the cock of whoever I'm taking up the ass. Therefore dispelling the mith we go to the gym or take drugs to loose weight... simple equation=
Lots of anal+ no Food(no shit)= skinnier pornstars.
P.S I have only done 3 vag scenes ever and once worked 8 weeks without a day off... count the calories if u like....
An open ended comment to all the lovely, tasty, and curve-o-lusious women who commented in this thread:
I think you should all do an independent movie together to tell off all the reviewers, critics, directos, and hapeless fanboys and call it Worship My Body
can I get an amen!
P.S. all the muffins and other candy goodies are on me
I did not lose weight. Actually I weight more than ever in my life because I do weight lifting and I gained quite some muscle mass but I got way leaner.
That "fuck the critics" thought has ideas rolling around my head.
Also I wonder why a major company hasn't done a respectable film about healthy women. There is clearly a market for it and nobody seems to be supplying it. I mean there is low rent stuff like Chunky Cheerleaders & Chunky Barbecue. Then there are shitty IR ghetto-ish films(aka West Coast). We need something respectful with the main theme being the females are healthy and having the male talent be into the girl being healthy without some other niche being thrown in. Where are the RLD/PXP's, Evil Angel's, Elegant Angel's, etc. etc.? Get the Olivia O'Lovely's, the Sara Jay's, call back the Ryan Conner's, put out the word to the girls from the past that might have gotten a little healthier after their performing days that might be looking for a way back in.
Why can't I just become filthy rich, so I can make shit happen.
Of the 3 people specifically mentioned at the beginning of this thread, I find Missy and Katja much more attractive now than when they started in the business.
I thought that Sammie, on the other hand, had a perfect body when she started in the business. She quickly became my favorite current performer. I think that her weight loss has hurt her appearance in every way. Considering that Sammie has never done an anal scene, that reason is out as a reason for her weight loss.
However, given that Sammie is now only doing girl/girl scenes, her appearance is now irrelevant to me. If she starts doing boy/girl scenes again, I hope that she returns to her previous appearance.

hmmmm?
2 + 2 = 4
Sammie is g/g only now + She lost her mind when somebody questioned her agent = In a relationship with said agent?
Kami is definately right about the San Pornando Anal Diet. I also think that a lot of girls thin out after their enterance into the adult ind because they pick up on the healthy eating habits of their new L.A. friends. Even the guys here count carbs. Most girls don't want to be seen in a restaurant ordering more than their friends.
Personally, it doesn't influence me because I've never been a big eater. I know how most females in general are at restaurants. Just my opinion, I guess.
sorry to offend all the women here with my next coment but THAT'S GRADE-A, 100%, HORSE HOCKEY!!!
as a few of you might be aware I moved here from the Chicago area about a year ago to start a new job. here is Iowa by the way. from teaching to engineering again. what a life
the one thing, THE ONE THING, I enjoy most about being in this state are all the corn-fed Iowian women who LOVE to eat. big breasts and even better lookin' asses out here folks. I mean onionbooty.com has nothing on some of these girls.
it was nothing worse than being back home and having a woman order a salad at a dinner that will put me out over hundred bucks or more.
they eat here! they don't count carbs, calories or any of that garbage because that isn't any type of way to live. you want to enjoy life then be around to enjoy it. dying young and leaving a beautiful corpse isn't the way. dying old and leaving a beautiful corpse isn't cool either.

+ 1 Kami.
That's absolubtly ridiculous!!! When anyone from the LA direct House gets a 'anal diet' break, we all order pizza from around the corner to the point the poor mexican/iranian/possibly italian pizza boys know our names individualy.
But as for going into a restaurant and feeling 'ashamed' to order alot, or have the 'ordasitiy' to eat it... if I'm payin' am'a eating.
Kami, you and the other ladies here are beautiful, and I was dead serious about the movie idea. it might have to take the action of a few stars like yourselves to show the studios what's up. I mean not everyone is begging for some skinny little blond girl.
I think it was the Pocketcomb Pimp who sat down on day during one of his reviews and came up with the term "meaty" to describe the lovely young Katja Kassin.
I about cried when I read that because it was so true I didn't know what to do. I thought about knocking on my neighbors door and high-fiving him for no reason and going back to my apartment.
I don't want a skinny little broad prancing around like she's it. I want MEATY and I want juicy lips. both sets!!!
Katja, hun...you're fine the way you are. Not skinny, but far from chubby. You just have a little bit mo' backside than some gals, which is fine by me!! :) Yeah, it means work, but if YOU ARE not happy with the way your body is, that's when it really matters worth a f**k.
Monstar & Kami... While I liked her early stuff, that is why so many producers seems to like skin & bones gals like Keri Sable. Right now, she's the only girl I can think of in that category
the fans like it thick, but the producers and directors don't. I mean I could see how they would be really conflicted her. it's not like I'm producing a film so I can call the shots. they've gotta eat, but that doesn't excuse the shallowness of whatever person told them they were overweight or not acceptable for their film.
