Re: Is that even realistic?
Living in LA and signed with an agency that gets you a good amount of work, yes.
10 days of g/b shoots at $1K a day would get you to the $10,000 mark. (It seems like $1000 for internet stuff is pretty average, I have no clue on video or print work.)
Re: Is that even realistic?
this is off subject, but ya'lls icons are alike, and both really hot. =)
Re: Is that even realistic?
How do you sign with an agency? I have no idea who is trustworthy or not; there are so many scammers out there. And which pays more, video or web? I'd rather do video, to be honest... less chance of getting caught.
Re: Is that even realistic?
Gingerlee will certainly be able to give you more info than me. I just know stuff from looking into working with the company my bf works for (sans agent). All of their stuff is internet but is being released on DVD from here on out.
I could get you on Teens for Cash! ;)
Re: Is that even realistic?
why not escort through a good agency instead of porn?
Re: Is that even realistic?
^^^ Because it's illegal and prison is one thing I do not need, plus the idea of meeting random strangers in hotel rooms to possibly be beaten and violated doesn't really appeal to me either.
Hardkandee, I think I'm a little too old for "Teens for Cash" but G-d I LOVE those videos! K has several of them on his computer and that's usually what we watch when we want to bring in some porn to spice things up. Excellent videos.
Re: Is that even realistic?
Yek, there are a couple of sites that list most of the agents that are in LA and FL. If you go to and click on 'the biz' tab, a list of agents comes up. I know has lists of agents too, but I don't know how organized they are. Some are good, some are bad, and you can normally get a vibe if you talk to them on the phone. I called about 10 agents before I picked the one I have, because he understood what I wanted/needed to do in the industry. There are some evil, hateful agents out there who pressure you to do things you don't want, or just want to work you to death. I have seen so many girls show up on my agent's doorstep because the agent they came to LA to work for was a total douchebag.
The $10,000+ mark is feasible if you work more than a couple times a week. I was making at least that and I was only in LA 2 weeks a month. I DON'T do any crazy stuff, I just do solo, g/g, b/g, and b/g/g and I got tons of work. Just be prepared to subtract 15-20% from your checks for your agent's commission. If you end up talking to an agent, just be upfront and honest about what you want to do, the money you want to make, your limits, etc. It saves a ton of headaches. PM me if you need anything.
Add on-Just so you know, even if you shoot stuff for a DVD company, they will release it on the internet too. There are shoots I did for DVD companies that are on 10 different internet sites, and they have even used photos of me from DVD shoots as magazine layouts. You will end up EVERYWHERE if you shoot in LA. I have had guys write me wanting to know when I did 'such and such', and I have no idea what they're talking about. They (DVD and internet) both pay pretty much the same though, at least the companies that I have worked for.
Re: Is that even realistic?
The 10K mark is def possible...but you'll likely work your ass off(no pun intended)
Your chances in LA are better then anywhere....here in FL I can hit that mark when all planets align...but they shoot a lot of "amature" stuff here which means many companies cant use you too often.I shoot anywhere from 2 to 5 times a week.I dont do any "crazy" stuff either(no anal, etc...like ginger, I just do solo, g/g, b/g, and b/g/g). I'm hoping to start traveling to LA on a reg basis soon.
Ginger's been in the biz longer than I have and her advice has been priceless for me. Listen to her.

Re: Is that even realistic?
Thanks, guys. I'll kick that around for a bit and look through the agent links. I appreciate it!
Re: Is that even realistic?
There is a list of agencies here:
If I were to do porn, which is highly unlikely, I've always wondered if it would be better to work for a woman, like Clear Talent or Exotic Star. Incidentally, I've been told by a friend who used to do porn that Derek Hay, who performs as Ben English and manages L.A. Direct, shoots stuff into his cock to stay hard, and pressures his girls to work for his own porn label, New Sensations, for free.
Re: Is that even realistic?
Derek is such an ass! He's mean to his girls, and he pressures them to do more than they are comfortable with. He doesn't own/run New Sensations/Digital Sin though.......

Does anyone know if Ginger is appearing in Ohio? I'm not sure if it's the same one, or if there even if another Ginger Lee I just came across it in researching SC's to go to when we leave.

Yeah, I'm in Ohio this weekend. Columbus Gold, to be exact. I just got done doing my lunch time show, so I'm about to take a nap until it's time for work tonight...........
Re: Is that even realistic?
I am thinking of moving out to CA from FL sometime this year or next to find more money. Any agents that are real good out there that I should look up? I have done and still do solo, g/g, b/g, b/g/g, b/b/g and anal. I have heard from just about everybody that there is much more opportunity out there.
