Hmm , I'm not sure, where have you heard these rumors? One thing I did find was this [ invalid url ]about sunrise, which seems to suggest that she will stay with vivid, but I don't know what's happening currently. Despite what anyone says though, we'll have a much better idea about what's true or not in a months time at the AVN awards.
I thought Savanna Samason was about to pull a club jenna and do her own movies that were more hardcore to her liking that Vivid would be the distributor of.
Kimi Lixx,Julie Night,Tina Tyler and then everyone else.
I`ve been a member at vivid.com for a year now.I know that Lexie Marie and Nina Mercedez are both gone for sure.They have signed several new girls during this last year.I believe their latest installments are Kayden Kross and Brea Lynn.No movies out yet, its to early.I`m pretty sure that Savanna is still around, I think I read something about shes being on a long term contract.Sunrise Adams should be back according to their newsletters on site, as well is Cassidy.Not sure about Briana Banks, her latest release for them was Briana Loves Rocco, and it is a while back now.Although it could also be just a small break.Monique Alexander is still there, I believe shes also on a long term contract.
Allright, thats what I know, I`ll get back to you if there are any more changes.
I follow Vivid pretty closely, so I can make recommendations to the Couples market (via a private newsletter), and I agree with your tally of who's in/out--but would add that both Brianna and Savanna appear to be "pulling back" from performing video hardcore. No recent work from either for Vivid--in fact, Briana now lives in Pittsburgh with her non-industry boyfriend and appears to be doing well.
Still you won't notice any shortage in Brianna or Savanna product (if they are semi-retired) for months or years: Vivid keeps so many scenes in the can that they can release long after the girl has left or retired. Example: "Janine's Been Blackmaled" was released about a year after she had left Vivid and was working for Digital Playground.
BTW, January is the time when Vivid usually rolls out what I call it's "Yearly LineUp"--so there won't be a final answer to the who's in/out question until then. They sometimes like to have a surprise new girl...either someone who had been retired (like a Cassidy) or a newbie who has just signed with them, which is what they did when they signed Monique Alexander and Lexie Marie.
Bottom line: the economics of porn is now very multi-faceted, and if a girl has a fan base she can make a good income via photos shoots, hard/soft website work, and the dance circuit. In fact doing video porn, in some instances, contributes the least amount of money to a female performer's overall income.
I just fucked Sunrise yesterday and her boyfriend......for vivid. The movie "ironically" is about her being a nympho.....tons of fun. We fucked on a gynecologist chair...hahahahhaha.....yup. I was the nurse. So that answers about Sunrise right?
Wasn't Briana in a car accident last year, where she suffered severe burns to her legs ? That may be the reason she's slowed down or retired. I miss her.
I stopped keeping track of the new Vivid girls a year ago. They used to build them up, like Savanna, Mercedez or Monique, now they sign them for 6 forgettable films and bye bye, and honestly there's been a tendency to chose them all very young & very blonde lately and I can't tell one from the other.
Has anyone seen the ad for "Where the Boys Aren't 18?" It appears to have about 420 different Vivid girls in it. Almost every Vivid girl from the past couple of years excluding Jenna Jameson appears to be in it. Tawny Roberts, Briana Banks, Savanna Sampson and many more. Of course, it could have been filmed in 1998, given Vivid's release schedule.
oh man! so many questions, must maintain composture.... aw the hell with it! 1st, were you wearing an actual nurse's uniform, how was it working with Sunrise, (glad she's still around), and please what was the name of this must buy movie!!
I first viewed the ad for "WTBA 18" about two days ago--at about the same time that I saw the ad for Vivid's Jenna/Janine sexvid, "Jenna Loves Janine." Like you, I had to shake my head in amusement--so many of these girls aren't with Vivid or not in the biz/on "Hiatus" (Lexie Marie, Tawny) anymore. It seems like Vivid should make their company moto. "Vivid Girls: once with Vivid, always with Vivid."
Regarding "WTBA 18" my best guess would be that it was made in the winter of 2004. Lexie & Monique Alexander had just joined Vivid, and Tawny and Mercedez hadn't left yet. Also director, Chi Chi LaRue, hadn't left Vivid in protest to their change to a condoms "optional" policy.
Bottom line: Vivid probably has un-released scenes of girls going back as far as (1988's Vivid Girl) Jamie Summers...that they'll release when they believe it will make them money. And, we're not even going to talk about the amount of times they re-package scenes in their compilations. Yep...porn is a business.
