pornlaw Member 578 Posts 10/05	Posted - Jul 9 2010 : 2:11AM Longevity... A star needs to remain in their chosen profession for a prolonged period of time and build on their brand. Any girl can skyrocket in her first 20 scenes, but will she still be as popular in 5 yrs or how about 10 yrs. Being a pornstar for 10+ yrs is extremely rare. [Link]
Faolan Member 44 Posts 2/09	Posted - Jul 9 2010 : 2:27AM Hello Ms. Blue, For me the 'star' description is reserved for those performers who have what I can only describe as that 'indescribable nth'. There are performers that are insanely hot physically but they just don't bring a true passion to the table. For example back in the 80's one of my favorite girls physically(ever) was Tami Monroe. She was crazy cute with big fake boobs. But when I got older and was able to consume video porn as much as I desired I watched her in video for the first time and was completely unimpressed. At the other end of the spectrum I might put Taylor Rain. She is pretty cute but I wouldn't put her in my favorite category physically. But her sexual energy is off the charts. I think of Taylor Rain as a 'star'. Unfortunately I haven't seen any of your stuff yet so I cannot make a subjective decision for you. :) [Link]
Rubberhole Deactivated User 256 Posts 2/10	Posted - Jul 9 2010 : 12:10PM There are way too many girls doing porno now for one to really stand out as a true star performer with massive public appeal across the board. Its an over saturated market.This months Hot Performer is next months nobody. Each porn consumer has ther own personal tastes, their own personal favorites. From your various posts it seems you are looking to reinvent yourself, to find some kind of niche in the porn industry. Whether it be a change in your appearance, to the scenes you think consumers wish to see, to the content of videos. If you are looking for Porn Stardom, I don't know if that will ever happen again. Hard work. Creativity. Enthusiasum. A solid reputation within the business end of the industry. All the stuff that made true stars seem to be a farce now. Its luck. Plain and simple. In the non-porn world look at Snooki. The Kardashians. That Kate plus Eight woman. What are there talents? What have they accomplished to achieve this fame and fortunate. Nothing. Nothing but luck and public naivete. My Stars: Vanessa Del Rio Careena Collins Ava Devine Annette Schwartz [Link]

saratoga120 Senior Member 1404 Posts 5/05	Posted - Jul 9 2010 : 2:28PM Thanks for asking. What appeals most to me is a clear sense that the girl doing the fucking on screen feels as though she's in control. Perhaps not of the mechanics the scene requires, but at least of the personality she's projecting. I like to feel as though the star has come up with a persona that she'll carry with her in some identifiable form through her roles. This is what has always attracted me more to porn stars than mainstream stars. The notion that you can discern large slices of their personalities from the on-screen persona. Makes it so much easier to decide on whom to pursue. [Link]
Hardware All-Star Member Your other left 14595 Posts 3/02	Posted - Jul 9 2010 : 2:52PM We humans make a great deal about looks but they do not suffice to make one a star. Presence is what makes a star - being the one the audience's attention is drawn to, regardless of whether or not you have the focus of the camera upon you. I disagree that longevity makes one a star, and I submit James Dean and Buddy Holly as evidence. [Link]

El Jefe Senior Member You Damn Right!!! 1283 Posts 5/10	Posted - Jul 9 2010 : 10:09PM Personality....but more importantly humility. Looks are great, but a beautiful person or "star" is one who takes time to treat every fan like they are important. No matter how successful one becomes in life, they need to step back and acknowledge the "struggle" it took to get where they are at. Part of that "struggle" is the love and support from the many fans who follow your work. Never take success for granted. Be happy where you are at, but at the same time, be able to treat others with the love and respect you would yourself want. It's better to be referenced as "Wow, she's Hot, but's she's so cool and down to earth!" as opposed to "Wow, she's Hot!" maybe some folks would disagree, but that's just my . [Link]
El Jefe Senior Member You Damn Right!!! 1283 Posts 5/10	Posted - Jul 9 2010 : 10:49PM Hey Anita, Just saw your initial fan questions on this thread you started. I think this is so cool and shows U care about what your fans think and want to see. A big big to you! If I can answer the question of what I prefer from you.....first off, you look divine as you already are. I would not change a thing. But if you must, only if it makes U happy. Preferred Anita scenes? Hmm, I would love to see you in lingerie and stockings. U would look yummy in those!!! [Link]
celluloidferox Senior Member @EmperorCorndog 1438 Posts 1/10	Posted - Jul 9 2010 : 11:02PM hey anita, well I say get yourself a contract with wicked or digital playground if you want to be considered a "star", but if you are here because you love what you do and you show your fans some love and communicate with them, they will make you a star in their own eyes, and that will have a resounding effect of their friends, and other perverts who will then want to see you, It also might be a good idea to stop with the automated responses, that comes across as pretty lame and uncaring to me, especially if every other dude's opinion is only worth "Okay..." [Link]
Jonny Jay Outlier Moderator 5990 Posts 8/09	Posted - Jul 10 2010 : 12:05PM Anita, I can assure you your performances are very good indeed but if you want my honest raw opinion of what makes a star here goes....Anal, ATM, atogm, gangbangs, rough scenes as well as the riding and grinding skills of April Flowers, generally being nasty and taking anything that is dished out with a smile and above all you must enjoy or portray perfectly that you are enjoing it. The name that comes to mind is Belladonna who does and has done it all, she may not be everyones favourite from a box cover but as a viewer your jaw drops. Try to make yourself utterly desirable I mean the girl you would not take home but the girl everyone want's to spend the night of their life with,,,the ultimate fuck girl who never says no. Oh and an agent or company who share your ambitions. Sorry for using other pornstars names but thought they were good references. [Link]

The lingerie thing is a must. Speaking of which I have to update it again soon. I do wanna change things more for me, like getting into better shape and getting more of a tan. I also wanna become more zen. As for the rest thats why I am asking you guys.

Click to expand I understand. There really wasn't that much to say to this question that I asked. All that I am doing is asking questions and taking advice and notes from these topics that I am asking because I think that you guys know your stuff. Also if you read all of my comments I answered them according to what the person has to say. The contract thing doesn't necessarily make you a star because there are some girls that are contracted that you never even heard of. And the thing about the fans is very true and I agree with you on that.

backdoorman Senior Member Shake for me girl... I wanna be your backdoorman ! 2776 Posts 10/07	Posted - Jul 10 2010 : 8:03PM Take a look at the "stars" of the past and do your damnedest to emulate the best of each. There is no one in porn today that can touch the likes of Seka, Annette Haven, Ginger Lynn, Christy Canyon, and those of that ilk. And for Gods sake, don't thrown any spoiled porn little girl tantrums like the Tanner Mayes episode. Be easy to work with and friendly to all. [Link]

I wanna be your backdoorman ! 2776 Posts 10/07	Posted - Jul 10 2010 : 10:33PM By the way, I'm sure some of you will disagree but to me a star was someone that not only could fuck and do it convincingly but someone that could act as well. Gonzo , like it or not, has taken some of that away from porn. [Link]

Click to expand That is very true, and by the way Anita, I wasn't trying to sound like a prick before or anything, I just felt that it needed to be said is all :), but backdoorman has a good point, if you can actually act, that shoots the popularity points through the roof, Because just about any girl can be a pornstar if she doesn't have a problem having sex on camera, but those who really make it exciting are the ones who stand out, the aforementioned BellaDonna is the perfect example, also Jenna Haze, and a few others really stand out because they are exciting to watch, it's not like they are the hottest women in the universe, but they are attractive enough and there is just an incendiary quality about them when it comes to sex, You are more than covered in the looks department by far, but if you can make your performances as exciting as they do, you'll be a big deal, and it would most definately help to take some acting lessons, even if you are already a decent actress, learn a few new tricks and get yourself into some auditions, because if you get in some features the gonzo companies will go nuts for you, just remember you are already beautiful and sexy, it's the quality of the show you put on that makes all the difference, and you did the right thing by coming to the fans, we all want to see you succeed afterall [Link]
