Porn Actress' mgmt and agencies
My friend who is 19 wants to become a porn actress and she tells me oh "so and so of this club is gonna help me" or "so and so knows people" and I don't want her to get off in the industry on the wrong foot. She's slightly naive of that men here porn and think oh whore whose young and can easily be swayed and bullshitted, etc. She's a great looking girl, in shape, and I think she would do very well with the correct guidance. Any advice?
Re: Porn Actress' mgmt and agencies
Send her to It has a list of porn agents, and she can start there. If she really wants to do it she needs an agent. Yeah, NEEDS, and even then, she can get fucked over by people.
Fuck that 'somebody knows somebody' bullshit. 99% of the time they are full of it, and she'll end up with a video linked to a site called 'HappyHookerWhoresWeScammed.com'. It's a harsh business that requires people to have both eyes open.
Good luck, and you're a great friend for looking into it for her.
Re: Porn Actress' mgmt and agencies
Awww, thanks ginger baby. I will def. give her the website. I don't want any of my girls getting screwed over by some lowlife, ya know? Do you have any recommendations on good agents/agencies? I'll PM you a pic of her.
Re: Porn Actress' mgmt and agencies
Well every agent is different, and it really does depend on her limits, look, etc. Like, somebody can be the best agent on the planet, but if they can't get you work within your limits, they suck. It's not that they don't want to get girls work, but sometimes it's hard for them.
It is pretty much trial and error. And I don't really say anything about agents. The internet is a very small place at times........
Re: Porn Actress' mgmt and agencies
Yeah..she'll just have to call around til she finds an agent shes happy with. There are several agents here that I know people are happy with that you couldnt PAY me enough to work with they've irritated me so much ****coughElicough****
So it's all about whats best for HER.

Re: Porn Actress' mgmt and agencies
I dont personally like Derek but hes been around a long time, gets the girls work and doesnt push them into doing things they dont want to do. He knows everyone who is anyone and wont send you to gome guy with a camera. He works with legitimate companies. If I got back into the industry Id go with him.
Re: Porn Actress' mgmt and agencies
^^I'm gonna type this really small so hopefully his Spidey senses don't feel me say this, because last time they did....
He is one of the meanest agents in porn. He treats those girls like shit, screams at them constantly, and tries to work them to death. I talked to him when I first got started and he basically told me that if I didn't want to shoot 6+ scenes a week for weeks on end I was of no use to him. I've seen girls on sets crying because they are tired and sore and just want a day off, but they have to keep working. Yes, his agency is huge, and they have tons of popular girls, but that doesn't really mean he's a good agent.
Re: Porn Actress' mgmt and agencies
^^ Yep. I've seen a lot of his girls cry and come to set on a million drugs because its the only way they can deal with what they are put through.
I'm sure he has girls that adore him...every agent does. But every time i 've seen one of his girls on set theres been an issue.....be careful with him. VERY careful..and dont take his shit.
Of course..that goes with every agent out there. Most are on a power trip and fancy themselfs the big pimp daddy...ugh...so if you establlish up front that THIS is the way you work PERIOD and dont beleibe their crap or let them intimidate you...you'll be better off
Re: Porn Actress' mgmt and agencies
If youre a smart porn girl you get with an agency (say Derek) you let them work you for a month. You get the phone number/business card from every freakin person you meet. Directors/Cameramen/Producers/Male Talent/Female Talent/Makeup artist/Whatever. Then you tell Derek that youre quitting porn. You lay low for a month (youve got enough money to) then just start making calls and be your OWN agent.
Theres no commodery in porn. No one cares that you left him and came back. They dont care. You may burn a bridge with Derek but do you really care? Nah.
This is what a few smart girls did. I was one of the dumb girls. Duh. But one girl had a binder with all the business cards and phone numbers addresses of companies etc...
Then you can select your own work, who you want to work with and set your own schedule. You can typically charge more because theyre not paying an agent fee.
BUT to get your FOOT IN THE DOOR Id say go with Derek.
God damn I wish I could go back in time and do it the right way this time....
Re: Porn Actress' mgmt and agencies
I have to say, we flew 5 girls from LA Direct up to Toronto for the porn I did makeup on. All of them were pleasant and easy to work with and said they loved their agency. We had absolutely no problems with them whatsoever. One of them said she loves the agency b/c they get her so much work, so if you want to work as much as possible, it's probably a great agency to be with.
I think you should sit your friend down and make her read all these threads herself. The less naive she is, the better. And you are very sweet and caring to be looking out for her!

Thanks LR. :) Good idea. <<mental note>>
Re: Porn Actress' mgmt and agencies
We also use a lot of their girls at the place I work for in SF and Ive never heard a bad word.
Some girls love all the work and money. Some its too much. Some shouldnt be in the industry at all and have mental breakdowns on set. Some you want to take home and lock in a closet because theyre so cute and sweet and you just dont want them doing porn.
Re: Porn Actress' mgmt and agencies
Ginger - youre with Cam? Well no shit. Hes the BEST EVER AGENT. But hes soo picky with girls. Hes the only agent that you will get into the agency the 'right way' hes good to his girls. Awww... that makes me actually miss porn.

This girl is absolutely sweet and adorable, but she WANTS to do porn. Shes a freak and half, let me tell you! ...........but i like it }:D
Re: Porn Actress' mgmt and agencies
Know what you mean BUT I dommed Daisy (from Dereks site) and wanted her to be my live doll. She was the nastiest yet sweetest thing ever. A perfect sub. I love small girls - probably because Im a big loaf....

OH my FUCKING God. I've been there - he ( you know whom ) thinks he's slick. Bah.
Do not like. At all.
Re: Porn Actress' mgmt and agencies
This 19 y.o. aspiring porn model: does she have an OMP page yet? Or maybe a profile on some of the looking for adult work websites? Then you can help her weed out the good from the bad that contact her. As a 25 year fan of erotica, I can also suggest that she get her name and face out there, so that she can build a fanbase of people who want to see her in mags and videos. That's how to create demand.

Re: Porn Actress' mgmt and agencies
^^Just going through an agent will be easier and safer. OMP and sexyjobs, etc. are full of people who are only out to screw you over and totally lie about everything.
