I’m all for talking about politicis and what not. But to be honest most of what people say just bore the fuck out of me. However I just came across this series of politically incorrect videos about McCain (it’s a spoof obviously) that are so fuckign funny I just had to show you the trailer. Good shit man, good shit.
Feeling like shit. Think I have a fucking cold but a random thought did just cross my mind so I thought I woudl share it with you!
Our good friends over at LIB have been discussing what is a porn STAR and the making of one. Curiously enough I touched on this very subject last June with my porn star vs porn starlet post. Anyway, the story over at LIB starts off by displaying a photo of the newest Vivid girl named Meggan Mallone with the headline listed below which sort of leads one to believe that the author of the post might not feel this new girl really all that hot. This keep in mind however was one of the first ever “official” photos given out of the lovely new starlet.
But quickly someone pointed out that not all girls were born stars, that some of them have to be made into something bigger than they are or may have been on their own. Case in point (or so the first case made in the LIB story) is Devon. Devon first came onto the scene in 1998. Since then she’s been under exclusive for Vivid, Digital Playground, Jill Kelly Productions and even Shane’s World. Devon has probably held more contracts than any other starlet and every one seems to end badly.
Devon’s first movie was Country Comfort. This was back when she was with Vivid. She went on to star in major hits like Island Fever 2 with Tera Patrick and Stormy Daniels as well as Pirates with mega stars like Janine and Jesse Jane. Long and short of it is, Devon became a porn star and 10 years later her name and face on a box cover still moves product. That is after all what really defines a “star”, at least in this business. But this spunky little blonde wasn’t always a star. Before she was Devon the Porn Star she was a nobody from New Jersey. Below is a picture of Devon I got from DearDevon.com, before she became a porn star.
Devon’s still cute, not so bad but a far cry from the mega STAR she would become. The photo below is what Devon looked like after become a porn star.   You can see by the two images that become a STAR isn’t just about throwing some hot girl in a few movies but it’s about giving her a total and complete makeover and throwing a whole hell of a lot of press her way.
In the end the newest flock of Vivid girls, Meggan Mallone, Hanna Hilton and Nikki Jayne will be no different than Devon was 10 years prior. They take a hot girl and make her a star. That’s their job and by the looks of the photos above, some companies do a pretty damn good job at it.
Devon is not the only example of this porn star makeover. Jenna Jameson is arguably the world’s most famous porn star and well she too had her humble beginnings. Years ago there was a young, aspiring starlet who wanted to make it big. She couldn’t wait to be a star and that little blonde was none other than Jenna Jameson. Sure we all know what she looks like now but how about 10 years ago?
So I’m at the park yesterday and I see some little teenybopper girls with their moms. One catches my attention as she is listening to I Kissed a Girl on her IPOD and discussing it with her mother. And it struck me just how fucking hypocritical society really is.
Parents let their children idolize whores like Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lesbian Lohan and buy them copies of the latest song that promotes chicks getting drunk and making out with chicks and yet porn is bad? What the fuck is wrong with you people? You can’t on one hand condemn openly sexual behavior and then on the other turn a blind eye!
When becoming a porn star it’s really to bad they don’t give a class on how to pick your name. In reality we know that most girls go into this business for money but what nobody stops to think about or just doesn’t understand is how to BE a porn star. That is the business end of things. Let us start with something simple like picking a name.
All to often young starlets pick a name like Peaches or Princess or some weird spelling variation thereof.   Or an even bigger mistake they don’t investigate the name they do pick. Such is the case with the story of Nikki Jaymes.
I was reading a really fucking funny story today on AdultFYI in which some photographers were complaining about how the pussy of this girl named Nikki Jaymes really smelled bad. Then there was this other girl who also happened to be a porn star named Nikki Jaymes (and blonde to boot) who was catching shit over it. People apaprently kept asking how her pussy was and if it really stunk.
So girls let me give you a little bit of advice before becoming a porn star, at least about your name.
Pick a name that is easy to spell. If you pick a complicated name then it will make marketing your image much harder. If your name is Candy spell it like Candy not Candee or some other confusing variation.
Pick a first AND a last. You want to give yourself every chance you have to set yourself a part from the crowd. Being a successful porn star is about building a brand and to build a brand you need a way to indtify that brand. There are a lot of Tera Patricks in this world but there is only one Tera Patrick.  There are a lot of girls who go by the name of Jenna in this world but there is only one Jenna Jameson and only one Jenna Haze.
When you pick a name learn to fucking use Google. Find out if there are any other adult performers or nude models using that name. Had the young Nikki Jaymes from the AdultFYI story bothered to do that she would have found the other girl and it would have saved her a load of grief a month into her career.
My last bit of advice is to not infringe on any other person’s fame, brand or legal copyright.  This means don’t pick names like Barbie (first or last), Lexus, Mercedes, Toyota or something like Jenna Jamerson or Tera Patricka. They may seem like popular choices but the second you gain any sort of real fame the people who own the rights to those names will sue your ass off.
A good case in point is Lexus Locklear who got sued by the auto company Lexus and now has to go by Lexi and the countless Barbie lawsuits.
Actually I do have one more bit of advice for you and that is OWN THE RIGHTS TO YOU OWN NAME. Never -ever- under any circumstances agree to any deal where you the performer doesn’t own the rights to your own name. Do not let them put it into your contract and do not let them trademark your name.
Pick a name and buy the .com for it BEFORE performing and if there is any talk of trademarking your name, YOU be the trademark holder for your name.
Don’t be a stupid whore …. be a rich one.
I was talking to a friend of mine the other day how we often don’t appreciate the fine art of being a star, a porn star. We sort of lump everyone that performs in adult movies as a porn STAR but in reality there are vast differences between a porn star and all the rest. We got into this conversation while talking about the whole Michael Ninn situation and how little respect the owner of Ninn Worx_SR, John L. Gray has for porn stars and basically treats them like dime a dozen strippers.
So really what does define a porn star over a common stripper or aspiring porn starlet? The first thing I would say would be industry recognition so that would be judged best by award nominations. But that alone is not enough. A true porn STAR would be someone who’s name can carry an entire movie and by that I mean sell well.
Say what you will but in the end this business, like others is about MONEY and without it there is no porn industry so we would need no porn stars. So a true porn star would need to be someone who can make that movie they were just in sell. Let’s look at some examples ….
First we have the look of a common stripper. Sure she’s cute and has the potential to be a porn star but in this picture we see her as a stripper. This really is a picture of a Devon before she was famous. It was when she was a stripper, hoping to one day be a porn star and boy what a difference the two photos show.
Now here is the photo of that same girl once she has become a porn star! She became a porn STAR not just based on the fact that she starred in adult films or got some award nominations but because she got name recognition and a decently large fan base. If you made a movie with Devon in it (back when this photo was taken) this shit would sell.
Next we have Sasha Hollander. She in fact has been in several pornos including Afro Invasion 6 from Candy Shop.  But she isn’t a porn star. We will classify her as an aspiring porn star or porn starlet. Although she has about a year of experience in the industry her name has yet to really draw in the fans.
Next we have someone who has been in the industry quite a few years. She has a large number of titles under her belt, and some award nominations including a few Urban Spice Award nominations. She is a feature performer on the dance circuit but in reality she’s never really passed the fame threshold. In fact, she didn’t even get a nod on the hot 100 who featured porn stars that I personally considered so non existent it wasn’t even funny but that sort of brings me back to my point. Not everyone can be a STAR and in this case we have an industry veteran, who although hot still is not a porn star.
So next I give you every definition of what a star is. Some of you may be annoyed by her and others may not find her all that attractive but say what you will, this bitch sells fucking movies that she appears in. Her name alone makes many fans look twice at the movie simply because she is in the movie. She is famous both in the industry and in the real world.
Oh wait, you thought I was talking about Tera Patrick didn’t you? Well no. Although all that I said may be true about Tera Patrick, I am actually referring to Sunny Leone. Who besides her large fan base in the porn world also has done quite a bit of mainstream work as well including appearing in the upcoming My Bare Lady 2, a Fox reality show.
Now that I’ve said all of this I want to point out that it’s not a direct insult saying you aren’t a porn star. It’s just that well the term means more than just some chick who appears in an adult film. The term porn star means someone who has reached success in the adult film industry and the judge of that includes award nominations and large sales of their DVDs. You can be the sweetest, most attractive person in the world but it doesn’t make you a STAR … a porn star. Only the big bucks associated with the sale of your DVDs can do that.
With all this drama going on right now I thought we could all use a good laugh.
Apparently porn is bad but this is somehow ok?
It’s officially Friday the 13th and you know what that means? That’s right … it’s a day of chaos and mayhem. So where did all this bad luck shit come from? Well as you know Friday the 13th is considered the unluckiest of days … that is unless you were born on Friday the thirteenth. If you were born on this day then Friday the 13th is your lucky day.
Numerologists consider 12 a “complete” number. There are 12 months in a year, 12 signs of the zodiac, 12 gods of Olympus, 12 labors of Hercules, 12 tribes of Israel, and 12 apostles of Jesus. In exceeding 12 by 1, we get 13’s association with bad luck “has to do with just being a little beyond completeness. The number becomes restless or squirmy.”
Tell me this is not hot as fuck?!
