What voting means

date
 4 November, 2008 Posted By: The Love Twins

I’m sure by now you are probably sick of hearing people say VOTE VOTE VOTE and I wouldn’t normally post about the subject but someone said something to me today that I just really couldn’t believe I was hearing.  My sister and I had just gotten home from voting and a friend we knew from school called.  We asked if she had voted yet and she said something to me I won’t ever forget, “Oh I don’t vote.  My husband votes for us and he went early this morning.”


Wait, what?  Your husband votes for “us”?  In an age where girls are so proud to should GIRL POWER how could any modern woman say such a thing?  You have a voice too and if you don’t express your views then the luxuries you enjoy such as the right to work, equal pay and issues like Health care may go unheard.  YOU HAVE A VOICE SO USE IT.  Don’t count on others doing the right thing.  You do the right thing.   Please, it’s so important that you vote.


Every single vote counts!  STAND UP AND BE COUNTED!

Small Change with Google Analytics

For those folks who run their own websites, they might want to log into their Google Analytics accounts today because when they do they will find some nice changes to the way the data is presented to them. First and foremost there is the account preview screen that at a glance will let you know if your overall traffic (for all your websites) are up or down for the last 30 days. Then when you enter your account, you get a very well thought out glance per website, that without even having to view the full report will let you know if your traffic is up or down.



I smell some problems in paradise.  LA Direct Models has quickly grown to be the biggest agency in our business right now.  No matter what you can say about them, you can’t take away from the fact that they currently rep a shit ton of famous chicks and their client roster is top notch.


That being said, we’ve begun to notice some cracks lately such as their public letter about their breakup with Sunny Leone.  Sunny Leone leaving them to go with Goldstar.  The Love Twins going with Goldstar.  That you can say you would probably expect since their manager is now with the agency but prior to this month, the girls still stayed with LA Direct.  You hear random stories about them not booking girls, that one chick was claiming that they only booked her once in the previous month.  That chick with the mom in the business, whatever the fuck her name was.    One booking for an entire fucking month?  Damn!


Now there is this story over at Adult FYI, which is basically claiming that Derek is doing some bad business deal and making some very unhappy clients because a chick flaked out on a shoot and instead of honoring their standard “kill fee” for the girl flaking, they opted to piss the client off even more by not honoring the kill fee payment.


If a client cancels prior to the shoot they are expected to cough up cold hard cash in the form of a cancellation fee, so it’s not unreasonable to ask LA Direct to do the same if the talent they send out does the same.


With business practices like this, one can only wonder how long it will be before someone else takes over at the top dog of bookings?  Girls talk, let’s not pretend they don’t and if LA Direct isn’t able to get them bookings, I’m sure they won’t hang around for long.

Adult FYI : Dust of lethal Hardcore posts on www.pornstarperformance.com: Jazel Tay leaves set and La Direct Models does not give kill fee!!


Jazel followed me to the location we were suposed to shoot at. We get there and she decides she doesn’t want to do the shoot. She never even got out of the car. Aparently the driver was her boyfriend, and even though I got the feeling from him that he wanted her to do the shoot, she got upset and said she didn’t feel well and that they were leaving.


We have an agreement with LA Direct that if we cancel a girl right before a shoot that we give them a kill fee, and they are supposed to do the same if the girl cancels. When I asked Derek about this for this situation he claimed that he didn’t have any of the girls $ so he couldn’t pay us even if he wanted to. Stoney then emailed him and he gave another excuse saying that it was my fault because I allowed the boyfriend to drive her. I’m sorry, but this is rediculous.



Get off of your ass, stop reading the stupid bullshit that is found on all these stupid blogs and go ……

VOTE!

Voting is a right far to many of us don’t exercise.  So for today I take just a moment to remind you that you should vote, not because you have to but because you can.  And yes every vote matters, including yours.  Anyone who says otherwise is a dumb ass.  GO VOTE!
