OK - I'll step out of this one. I'll continue to keep the business side of porn separate from the public side, Jewel can continue to do things her way.

That would be disappointing, if she is done altogether I mean. I think Cris is great and regardless of how much trouble she is, that sort of thing doesn't affect my ability to enjoy the scenes that she does shoot. Now if only she would take it in the ass...
Cris Taliana is a great performer and a friend of mine, she has recently shot a bunch with joey silvera, and i am sitting on about 6 scenes with her. Patrick Collins told me a great thing once back in '97, "Dont get mad and yell at girls when they flake or dont show up, they will come back around"-something like that... anyway, i dont stress it, if a girl doesnt show up for a shoot, there has to be a reason... whatever reason it is, it is probably better they werent there anyway on that particular day (maybe the scene wouldnt have been as good on that day if they were "pressured" I dont think ruining a fans fantasies of a particular star is a good thing to do, and giving too much info on the production side can do this, sometimes "behind the scenes" on dvds can do this also. It always sucks when a girl flakes but, if i go nuts over every girl that flakes, i would have long quit porn by now. I'm sure jewels production will turn out just as hot and fine no matter if Cris is in it or not, there are some great asian girls out there right now.
I can undertand Jewel's frustration with investing money and time into Cris and not having it appreciated by simply following her responsibility of showing up. As a business owner myself I have lost time and money by people not showing up for meetings, shoots, tapings etc and the "flakes" are not just models or "talent" but execs, sponors etc. However, in business one should never air their laundry because utimately it will reflect negatively on you Jewels you will be the one branded for putting a "flake" out to dry for putting your business on the street and others may wonder "damn if I work with PXP and things don't go well will I get put out to dry too?" which the person may feel will hurt their marketablity and they may ultimately come to the conclusion that working with Jewels and PXP may not be best for them. And that can only hurt your pocketbook in the long run. I would also think Jewels that since you are a veteran of this business and someone who's work ethic and talents are highly respected maybe this is a chance for you to sit Cris aside and help her undertand what she needs to do as a professional as oppose to ripping her in public. Either way I just think its not good business ethics to air such things in public and I maybe wrong but Cris could have had a legitimate reason for not showing up. I think you need to just chalk this one up a business owners experience Jewels and move on which it seems you have done. And don't cut off your nose to spite your face by stating you'll never work with Cris again because this is a business and if someone helps your bottomline that is the bottomline.
I agree with bundha - Dirty laundry is best left in the laundry room.
There will often be situations where things go wrong and it won't always be the fault of someone not showing up for no reason. All you need is for one or two of those times - such as a legitimate reason for not showing up, like illness or an accident, delivered well after the incident - or, heaven forbid, something happening on your own side of the equation throwing a monkey wrench into the works - to come back and bite you on the ass and your reputation for airing dirty laundry will put you in the doghouse.
When I rewatch Flesh Hunter 4 tonight, I'll be thinking, "She's a flaker". Then I'll come to my senses and realise I'm watching the end product...
I guess I have a Machiavellian view of porn as a fan.

Well I've had many girls flake before my problem is don't call me for work and confirm then just decide not to show because you don't feel like it. The only reason this was posted in the first place was to let fans know the ones who requested her for my asian line the reason she wouldn't be in it. Now if she would of picked up a phone like 99% of the girls who cannot work for some odd reason this would never of been brought up and I would of used her in the future. But she knew she was doing the box etc. and she also knew how important the shoot was. And to not call or give a good reason is not exceptable sorry. And as for dirty laundry she brought it on herself all she had to do is call it's that easy. But some girls that are so young in this business just don't take it serious oh well. I'm just glad to have Charmane come through for the shoot and I think she is beautiful and will be very stunning on the cover of Sinful Asians.
For some reason when I read this thread I just think, oh, I guess this Chris Taliana chick will be a little sad that she lost out on whatever $$$ she would have made ($1,000? 2,000? 5? much more?) but I'm sure she'll get over it.

Well Chris has sent me an apology letter which was very big of her because she knew how upset I was over this. The real reason was to get a reaction from the fans on who I should use to replace her since she didn't show for the gig. I would of felt the same about any girl who cannot pick up a phone to cancel not just Chris. But she is slowly getting back on my good graces so maybe in the future if she proves to be responsable then I'll consider her but as of now I'm happy with my cast in this Asian movie I have Sabrine Maui,Kianna,Charmane,Bamboo and Roxy so I think this will be a very hot movie and I hope all my fans of Asian girls like this flick. I even did a bonus scene in the DVD with Envy Mi. I shoot this line because I have a soft spot for asian women.

Seing how open Jewel is with inside information, I am sure she will provide us also with this info.
So, than Jewel: how much did she loose? How many $$$ is a Chris Taliana anal/pussy-only/dp worth for PmX?

As free as she is with inside information, I think it's unrealistic to expect Jewel to release actual dollar amounts in a public forum such as this. I'm curious as well, but I just wouldn't expect that sort of information to be forthcoming.

I cannot give out the girls rates but I pay them their rate and don't give them a hard time I just want them to show up have fun and do a good job. Well the sad thing is I got a call that Chris did the same thing again with another company called confirmed and just didn't show so I guess even if she's sorry I cannot take a chance on her it cost to much time which I never have enough of and to much money to payout for nothing. Sabrine Maui won't be making the shoot this weekend due to a family event but the good thing is she let me know in advance so I got a really hot Asian girl who is doing anal so it should be great I forgot her name it's a tough one to pronounce. It has a lot of L's in it that's all I know. And when Sabrine returns I'll be shooting her for sure and possibly putting her on the cover of Sinful Asians #2.
I wonder if it's Lyla Lei?I like her.She does DP's.
Or as Simon&Garfunkel would sing"Lyla Lei(BOOM!)Lyla-Ly-Ly-Ly-Ly-Ly,Lyla Lei(BOOM!)"
Or Bob Dylan"Lyla Lei-Lei...Lei across my big brass bed....."

Hey you're good it was Lyla Lei and wow she was stunning and did a very hot performance one of the best anal scene's I've seen in a while. And Charmane looked so beautiful this will be a very hot box with her on it good choice from all of you who recommended her.
So do I! Its great to hear you're using Bamboo. I wasn't sure she was in the States, as I've only seen her in Euro movies lately. I'm looking forward to this one.
I found all comments very interesting, I remember when I first saw Chris's first scene with JJ, all I could think was how hot she was. Since then I've only seen her in 2 other scenes. So far she has not lived up to what I anticipated or hope to see develope from her. I lately seen her with Joey Silvera, I'm still waiting and anticipating a truly memorable performance. I don't think Jewel is out of line at all. I've followed this biz for a very long time, and I've spent tons of money on it. I want as much info as I can get. And I'm still going to continue spending on it. The more truthful info you give me the more interested and satified I'll be. Thanks Jewel

Well here's the final cast for Sinful Asians
Charmane Star (Cover Girl) I love this girl I think she gave me her best performance to date.
Layla Lei very sweet and does a great anal scene
Bamboo very sexy and does a hardcore anal scene
Roxy takes on Brandon Iron what more can I say
Kianna very big tits and very horny love her long time!!
Bonus DVD scene is with Envy Mi
Sabrine Maui had a personal matter to attend but gave me lot's of notice and she should be in Sinful Asians #2 Bamboo was her replacement which isn't a downer to say the least!!!
Interesting thread, I missed this one. I agree,though, kids,young girl or not when you give you're word then you need to show up. Or at least call at the first opportune time. I look forward to the new Asian line from Jewel. DVSX has a great thing going with the Sakura Tales series so having a new line to watch along with that one is cool.
Hi jewel, enjoyed your Domme scene in 'I love it Rough'. the action and the dirty talking was one of the best i have seen in a long time.. Are you be performing in this video? .. I would love to see you 'domming' a pretty Asian with lots of feet and ass worship and some peeing (I hope you can slip in a little, would be sad if you filmed it only to clip /black it out like in ILIR)... you, the Queen de Nyle, would order your sub to undress you, bathe you, washing carefully your pussy and ass, massage you and give you a trip around the world (and us around your beautiful body) and... (well leaving the rest to you). If not in this video maybe in your next Sinful Asian?
>Unfortunately, flakes have and always will pervade the porn industry.
Yes, they have, much like the real movie biz that I was once associated with. I say this not to bring any "film history scholars" down on my head.
(I'm emailing Walter Burns today, regarding the now-closed thread "how do girls get started in porn", about how it doesn't matter when any studio was considered to be in the top 5, etc. - it's longevity that counts.)
Instead, I mention the comparison because the problems are very similar, what with formerly reliable actors going on ego trips, and recently popular actresses thinking it's their right to ignore the starting time of any given shoot.
The consistent level of professionalism that you mention is held by very few in any kind of movie arena. And expalining that fact is not as easy as just blaming everything on getting a sudden financial access to huge amounts of drugs or booze.
For instance, industry insiders have told me that Mr. Tom Byron has done his share of partying in his life, yet accomplished that amazing 20 year-plus record in the adult biz, easily qualifying as a hall of famer.
Not being a flake, then, is obviously more than a mere question of outside influences. Rather it's a matter of having a strong personal character.
I know that's a strange term for many to see associated with the adult biz, but that does seem to be the case.
You clearly know what you're talking about and have said a wise mouthful!
I'd add this: Porn stars, like mainstream actors, are "public performers" -- not "professionals" (although any of them theoretically can, and some actually do, approach their performing career(s) with a professional attitude ).
The majority of people -- most of whom dependably work regular hours and need to in order to survive -- do not have the temperament necessary to be public performers of any kind. The kind of eccentric and spontaneous temperament that it takes to perform publicly is usually not consistent with the even, steady, reliable temperament of the 9 to 5 (or longer) "professional" type. This isn't a knock on performers (9 to 5 is no deity); nor is it an excuse for their irresponsibility (which has it own un-rewards ) -- but facts are facts.
You can't expect a flying bird to swim like a fish, even though you will occasionally run across the odd duck.
>You clearly know what you're talking about and have said a wise mouthful!
While I can't claim to have hung out at basketball games with any Speilberg types, I did anonymously labor for a time in the script department vineyards of a mainstream studio.
That's hardly any huge credential, but it was at least enough to aquaint me with the day to day grind of things, and how many types of people behave when put under the pressures of performing.
>Porn stars, like mainstream actors, are "public performers" -- not "professionals" (although any of them theoretically can, and some actually do, approach their performing career(s) with a professional attitude ).
Exactly. In fact, I would strongly recommend a "training camp for nerves" before anyone - male or female - signs up to drop their drawers on cue for the cameras.
This short duration training would simply include being made to show up on time to gigs and act professionally at them - playing in a local band, or if not musically inclined, doing some standup comedy at an open mike night somewhere.
Many longtime female porn queens also worked as groovy singers. And did you ever notice how porn career all-stars like John Leslie and Tom Byron show great musical disipline, and likewise guys like Ron Jeremy have developed excellent comedy timing?
This element, when coupled with their longevity, is no fluke. After having to perform for some fairly large crowds for awhile, working later in the porn biz in front of a few measly crew workers would seem like being on vacation by comparison.
>The kind of eccentric and spontaneous temperament that it takes to perform publicly is usually not consistent with the even, steady, reliable temperament of the 9 to 5 (or longer) "professional" type.
Very well put. Any public performance - whether it be singing, stripping or screwing - takes a special temperment that can guide one past the hurdles that hold most other people back. But if that temperment isn't there to be developed in the first place, then don't quit your day jobs, folks.
For instance, if a girl can always show up on time and is willing and able to have wild sex with three guys (and get herself off on camera, too) without popping a handful of caffeine pills, snorting some stepped-on coke and downing a couple of Coronas first, then she's already on the right page with the right attitude.
If you'll forgive a bit of levity here, maybe today's porn princess wannabes also need to look in the mirror every morning and repeat out loud something like the following daily affirmation:
"I'M FINE ENOUGH, I'M DIRTY ENOUGH, AND DOGGONE IT, I'M HORNY!"
Jewel said Chris was a flaker and that generated 6 pages .. Wang now says Chris is not a flaker.. lets have 6 more page ... or at least some retractions (any one man enough to apologize?)
_____________________________________________
Wanker Wang Posts: Shot Cris Taliana last weekend. Believe it or not, others in this industry would lead you to believe this girl refuses to show up to any shoot. That's a bunch of horseshit. This girl has never missed any of my shoots and she's a bonafide, natural whore of epic proportions. I know, some of you think double vag is gay. Maybe it is but there's something endearing about it when Cris performs this deed for well over 20 minutes as if she's giving birth to two dicks over and over again. Check out the pictures above. I chose not to compress them to much to keep their large size intac ______________________________________________ search for "chris taliana" in the page or scroll down .. some hot pix of Chris included ..
The question is who will be giving Chris an offer she can't refuse to do anal? .. JJ almost got it in but it was only the tip
Jewel DeNyle says "Cris Taliana is a flaker" Wanker Wang says "Believe it or not, others in this industry would lead you to believe this girl refuses to show up to any shoot. That's a bunch of horseshit." Does it sound like Wanker Wang is saying that Jewel DeNyle is blackballing Cris Taliana? Is Wanker Wang saying Jewel DeNyle is FULL OF HORSESHIT? What do you guys think?
Look forward to hearing from Jewel on the matter. I'm siding with her for now

the flake thing is a nightmare, so out of control - i keep thinking there has to be a solution to it but I realize there isn't, the talent pool is too shallow, the girls are in control. Studios could shoot in Europe more.
On the photography side of my business, last month we had shoots scheduled with 23 different girls. 14 of those were botched by flakes, some of them were rescheduled but many are just lost money.
Crystal Ray is just a fuck up, Autumn Austin another bitch who should be blackballed.
reading this thread about Cris Taliana and Wanker's defense of her - what the fuck does that prove, totally specious. Girls are screwballs, there are girls who flake on $2,000 gigs with reputable companies then you find out she did a $200 bj for some lowlife in his basement the same day she flaked on a big budget shoot. Maybe the guy in the basement has the good weed and coke.
Goldhat? If you'll look again on page 5 of this thread or better yet
This incident happened 4 months ago. You see Cris apologized to Jewel and that's plenty of time for Cris to get her act together then start showing up for her gigs by the time Wanker just met her.

I well heard that last sentence, Mutt! I know you dont like Euro girls, but from my limited experiece there are not that many flakes in Europa. Girls just want to really earn the money, you know. Also our talent pool is not shallow. If a girl I wanna cast doenst show up, she can be sure that there are Dotzens others to take her place. Producing porn in Europe is much easier than in the States, I bet.

i like Euro girls, just would rather see a slutty dirty talking American girl in a porn movie.
I would rather let the girls who can't speak English talk in their native tongues - better than watching the Euro girls saying nothing, which I assume they are told to be by American directors.
Flakes suck, there is no excuse for it, if these girls were working as waitresses at an Olive Garden and pulled this crap they'd be fired. I guess the decent money these girls are paid is part of the problem, for an 18 year old girl to get a check for $1,000 is a lot of money, so let's say she works two days and has a third shoot later in the week, she does the first two shoots, has a couple grand in her pocket, being dimwitted and living for the moment she loses all initative to make another thousand bucks and couldn't care less that some producer, talent and other people are depending on her.
