I'm sure that 'no-anal scenes tradition' would be news to Briana, Kira, Tobe, et al.

Back on topic, or rather, in the vein the topic has morphed into, we read rumors about various producers/directors being less than professional with the ladies and it makes me wonder if maybe the gals are just happy to know what to expect when they go to work.

Bridgette, Violet; there's not really much to talk about on topic, is there? Thanks goodness this board abounds with prickly porners, nattering naybobs and dilletante gadflies.

Kira Kener's face and body are enough to make my nuts tremble in fear . That girl's off the hook ! And she's taken it up the shoot like a state trooper , just as Hardmare says , yet oddly reacted to semen like it was Alien blood about to eat right through her . Weird .

BTW who's the arse , Hardware ? India ? Chyna ?

good point.
kind of reminds me of the not-too-rare pro-athlete situation where he has to decide whether to be a free-agent or sign a contract. If he stays free agent, he has the chance to maybe earn more money the following year if he has a great season and gets picked up for more money. On the other hand, let's imagine that he has a knee that is a little less than 100%. If he doesn't sign a contract this year, he takes the chance of his knee blowing out and ending up with no future money from the sport.

I have no idea what point I'm trying to make.

Tony - for what it's worth, jamesn kind of hit it right - people like Kevin and Michael and me and lots of other industry people that come to ADT (and go happily to events that aren't industry-only, etc.), do it because we care. And when we care, we're often going to be a little prickly when we feel like someone's always attacking us. Add in a sarcastic tone from the people who enjoy looking from the outside in, and it's not fun and games anymore. In fact, maybe it would be a little easier to have a decent discussion with people if it was done as a discussion, and not sarcastic quips one after another. We wouldn't be here if we didn't want to talk. But please - talk with us, don't just take jabs that barely make sense.

I think Michael's one of the best feature directors today, and Kevin is making a really good name for himself in gonzo. I don't think it's a coincidence that each of them cares a LOT about the type of porn they make. They maybe prioritize the things that's important to them in their movie, but that's kind of the point. They prioritize, and do they things they (and hopefully their fans) want to see. If fans vote with their wallets, and hopefully they do, then the directors who aren't pleasing anyone will get the point soon enough.

Does a contract help a porn star become a good money manager? If not, they are in the same boat, except there is less money in the equation. Seeking opportunities like Playboy TV takes planning. Having a stage act enough to tour takes the willingness to travel and do some work.
But if you have a those qualities, the nest egg of a few busy months should also be enough.

It took less than a dozen pages for this thread to evolve into something where each side read the other's posts. At least it got there.

Michael,
Sorry for going off-topic.

Will you direct a sequel to ANGEL X?

Well, thank you for your answer Tricica,
though our views on the need to promote safer sex are distinctly divergent, I can at least see where you're coming from and most important that you do care.
Me neither, it's just that I truly believe no one requesting a condom on a set should be turned down.

ya know, the problem with these threads is adt needs more scumbags to keep them going. give me a reb or peter romero and i'll have a field day, throw in a ttboy for the gonzo company and it wouldn't run out of steam. it's too morally self-selecting, with those who can defend themselves doing so. i demand more sleaze.

The sleazy cats don't give a shit, unless they want to promote something. They certainly aren't going to entertain debate.

Please feel free to point out any nonsense on my part. I'll do my best to clarify, or failing that retract and/or apologize.

Folks,

I forgot to mention in all of this back & forth that I, myself, turned down a contract!

A couple of years ago Ed Powers asked me to get into the movies with him as his "long lost brother" Ted Powers.

However, I quickly realized that crafty old Ed was just looking for someone to make him look good and I politely declined the offer!

guess it depends on the company
I was chillin with a contract girl who makes $3000 a show and does short 6 show bookings. 12k for 2 days seems pretty good to me
Katrina Kraven turned down a contract because they wanted her to have a ton of surgery
not related to this discussion or anyone in it but sometimes its ok to call a spade a spade
its not like a ton get offered
speigler represents some of the most spun bitches out there just not the ones that are honest about it

Would you take a contract where they wanted to break your nose and redo it, plant bags of squishy stuff in your chest, put implants in your ass, how about redoing your jawline and a brow lift? Surgery is fucking hell. No one should do it for a job.

Avy Scott has said that she's turned down contracts. I think it was a good choice in her case, because she does not feature dance due to stage fright.

I believe that every porn girl would like to be rich, in addition to being famous. From what I've observed, surrounding yourself with the right people is essential. Jenna Jameson has her business whiz husband and together they are a formidable team. Other less fortunate performers have surrounded themselves 'teammates' that turned out to be little else but hangers on that have sucked them dry.

Becoming a contract girl is good for generating publicity, but little else. I heard that Teagan's DP contract stated that DP controlled where she could appear, as well as her web presence. That could kill opportunities to make paid appearances if the company does not approve as well as the easy money generated by a website (if the site is good and well marketed, this can go into six figures). Does anyone know how much a contract is for? I heard that some girls only get $60,000.

Are there anymore people in the industry who'd like to contribute to this thread?

Wow, that is generous.

What qualifies a girl for a contract? The twins that Vivid signed last year had never had sex on camera before, so were they mainly signed for their looks? There are several girls that I can think of that had never done porn, but got contracts upon entry. How does that happen? Is it because its easier to bring a realiable stunning girl in from the outside than to find one directly from the porn pool?

Believe it or not -- and while I am sad to say, Tiffani Digivanni turned down the Hustler contract offered. Not because of the terms, company or money, it was a personal choice in so much that she really doesnt want to do boy-girl.

She was offered another contract for girl-girl only and felt that she would feel better emotionally and physically from that type of work instead.

Sometimes, even in this biz, some people are more inspired by personal freedom and choice then money or fame.

I give her a lot of credit though.

I'm sure Tiffani will be successful doing G/G, it won't affect her popularity. She was a real hit at Adultcon 9, guys were making a beeline to her and not the other girls at her booth; she was frequently surrounded to the point where you couldn't see her.

Thanks, I will let her know your thoughts. As for Adultcon, I was there, kinda watching to see how she handled the attention. It was her first real fan show. I think she did rather well. She sold a ton of photos. She has such a sweet innocent personality, it is hard to believe that she is even in this business. She is like no other client I have.
