I love Wicked Pictures so I'm curious as to the contract girl situation over there. Julia Ann is gone. Stormy will stop performing in 2 years (boo!) and focus on directing (yeah!). jessica drake is obviously preparing for the end of her in-front-of-camera days what with her increase in behind-the-scenes participation. That leaves Kirsten Price, Carmen Hart and Kaylani Lei. Despite her mainstream crossovers, I don't get Price's appeal. Lei's a pretty girl but she's not a powerhouse personality. Carmen Hart rocks the fucking house, but they need to cultivate more than one girl for world domination. What's up over there? Are they actively seeking talent? Are they holding tight? Are they close to signing anyone? Any info would be appreciated. Edited by - Savoy on Jul 21 2007
I've seen some scenes with Carmen before. She looks really good. Plus, she does good girl/girl scenes. She did a great scene with Mika Tan in the movie "Rendezvous". I wish the scene was longer though.
Apparently, Wicked makes her tone down her sexual style, but it's more than just the sex scenes with Hart. That girl has got an ambitious fire burning inside. You can feel it radiating off of her through the screen. There's a natural, unforced quality to her acting. She can be cute. She can be fierce. She's funny. She's got personality and intelligence. Coincidentally, "Rendezvous" was the first thing I ever saw her in. She was so pretty in her flirty dresses with a red flower in her hair. She handled long dialogue scenes with ease. I think it was something like her third DVD for Wicked and the first one in which she spoke. She's only gonna get better. I like her a lot. I hope the bosses at Wicked do too.
This is true. Plus, you explained a lot better than I ever could've. It's a shame that she has to hold back though. By the way, did you like the Carmen/Mika scene? I liked how Carmen was determined to try to get Mika off. Edited by - matchmaker on 7/21/2007 4:40:27 AM
I appreciated Carmen's determination, but Mika Tan's Spanish accent just kept me laughing throughout the entire scene. Although, I must say Carmen fucking Mika with the feather duster's handle was a nice touch. Carmen's shower scene with Myles Camack in "Manhunters" - now that was fucking hot but like a tornado - here and gone before I could blink. I wanna see "FUCK". Carmen takes a lit candlestick in her butthole.
I was really bummed when I saw Julia Ann was no longer a Wicked Girl. And with Stormy and jessica going to directing, they are really only left with Kirstgen and Carmen(I don't think Kaylani is in for the long run). Those two are great girls, but Wicked needs to prepare for the vacated spots coming up.
Now that I think of it, I don't know if Stormy will stop performing altogether in 2 years or just for Wicked. I really like her films. Porn for your average chick is difficult to make and she does it well.
Stormy definitely knows what she's doing. She can make a movie that couples can enjoy, but really turn on the heat in her scenes. She also comes off as a total sweetheart. I think her departure is going to be a huge blow to Wicked. Hopefully she's stays on directing for them, maybe an occasional performance.
She stated in this Porn Star Podcast that when her contract renews with Wicked in under 2 years, it will be for directing only. So she will stay with them - but only as a director.

hi, jessica here. i just want to let you guys know that as long as i look the way i do and feel the way i feel about performing, i have NO plans to stop! as i renegotiated my contract last april, we made it a unique "lifetime" deal... i owe wicked for just about every cool thing i've done so far in my career, so i can't imagine working for anyone else! i decided to take up other areas of production quite awhile ago- when we were shooting Curse Eternal. it was then that i realized i'm so much happier with a movie when i'm more involved in different aspects. since then, i've written, co-directed, art directed, and wardrobed, even shot a little camera, and lots of behind the scenes footage for DVD extras. i just want to be prepared when the day comes that i'm not "hot" anymore. ; ) as for julia ann, yes, she's gone. stormy has carved her niche and is making a great impression in the business, and earning much respect as she goes. i'm not sure what her long term plans are. carmen, kirsten, and kaylani are with us & i think that they each stand out in their own special way, and they all are attracting serious fans. (i am however, partial to carmen- she eats great box!) as for new girls- we are ALWAYS looking! in fact, i personally scout every strip club i am in...hehehehe! check out "just between us", a movie i wrote for Carmen, along with "love always", a movie I wrote for julia ann and myself, and watch for our biggest shot-on-film movie of the year "THE CRAVING" which i star in- and came up with the concept for! love, jd
All I know is, when the chips are down and it's time to sign a new girl up, Steve Orenstein knows what he's doing. The only problem for Wicked with regards to current contract girls retiring or moving behind the camera is whether or not there are replacements of the required quality to be found. I think the next wave of contract girls, both at Wicked and in the industry as a whole will be extremely pivotal. Jenna Jameson is pretty much retired now, so the industry needs some sort of crossover figurehead to take her place. For a while, it looked like that would be Tera, but her legal wranglings with Digital Playground kind of killed off the momentum she had built up. My gut feeling is that when the 'next big thing' happens (I think it will be someone not yet in the industry), there's a damn good chance it will be under the Wicked Pictures banner. Personally, I'd kind of like to see them sign up Aria Giovanni as some form of tit-for-tat counter strike against Vivid for getting Sunny Leone to do b/g, but I know that's just wishful thinking... Anyone else have any Wicked roster pick suggestions that they'd like to share?
Hi Jessica, Its great to have you on board posting. Can you give us some information about Love Always. How many scenes do you have? How was the scene with Julia ann? Did either one of you take it in the mouth? Any Swallowing? If you write as well as you perform, I know it will be a winner!!! Can't wait to see it.
I looooove Stormy's stuff, or what I've seen so far anyway, and anticipate enjoying the rest. I did rent Delilah and didn't like it -- but not because of the performances at all or the production. But the story got me down. I think of all the reasons to dislike an adult video, that reason is actually a testament to those that made it in a way.. But anyways.. Guess this reply wasn't much about the 'contract girl situation' but ... I'm a fan of Wicked too and hope Stormy and jessica and the rest are successful.

chloezoe- hi! love always is not your typical porn storyline. not at all... i read a post by someone who didn't care for Delilah because it was too "down". this may be another one of those movies. since i've been writing, i've tried to accomplish more than one type or style... for instance, Just Between Us is a drama that wraps up nicely in the end. Tasty is a series of vignettes based around one of my favorite things, food! Dating 101 is my answer to Brad's Between The Sheets. Burnout pays tribute to both Highway, which Stormy wrote, and Adrenaline, which Michael Raven wrote. Not to say i am copying ideas at all, they are completely different. i just want to show strength as a new writer by conquering different areas. OK, so back to the question. In Love Always, i have 3 scenes. 2 with Randy, one with Julia. I don't want to give away too much, but i'll tell you this- i take great facials in the movie, and the scene i did with Julia blows the doors off just about any other girl/girl scene i've ever done. we never cut. not once. once the scene started, we just attacked each other, and no one on the set could say a word! i went home quite satisfied that night... please, after you see it, tell me what you think. and it's cool if you didn't love all of it. i can take it. ; ) i think you'll really like it, though! love, jd

Really? I could imagine changing a few things about her. But, on the whole, I think she is easily in the top 10 of current pornstars. Looks and performance. Edited by - McCutcheon on 8/10/2007 10:23:45 PM
Thanks for the reply jessica, the movie sounds great. Very cool cover art. The box cover lists Barrett Blade, Herschel Savage and Penny Flame as the only actors; besides Randy Spears, Julia ann and yourself. You said that you and Randy had two scenes together. You must have worn that poor boy out. Who were the other parings? Any threesomes? thanks chloezoe
