    Ya know Juliette, instead of thinking Jerry Springer, you should think Howard Stern. But of course you know you'd have to come up with something crazy to get on the show. Look at Mary Cary, she stuck her head in the toilet. That's one of the funniest episodes and she is well known for that.

    And Pamela, I got to say, I would like to see a feature show with a snake. That really caught my attention and I've never heard of a club feature show with a snake. If I wasn't such a scared little wuss, I would try that idea.

    Unfortunately, it's virtually impossible to get on the Stern Show without payola - so far only SCORES and MBOT have ponied up.

    i've abandoned Springer, mainly because of Melonie's post about her Jenny Jones experience. I know Springer is worse! I understand that this is a fast process, as looks are a factor and they fade.

    I've heard of you, Jenny. Rumor has it that you are great! Have u got pics of your performances?

    Just some quick comments.

    melonie is right in that porn is the fastest and most lucrative way to feature. She is wrong in that prostitution goes along with that. I know some of the better known features do hook on the side most do not...face it Jenna pulls down 2000.00 PLUS per show...add to that polaroids and such...believe me she doesn't have to turn tricks outside the club, and she doesn't.

    The problem that most dancers face when entering porn is that they don't have a clue what they are doing or what they need. Any porner will promise you a boxcover and then surprise yer on the cover with every other girl in the movie...no exactly the kind of "credit" you need to bump up your feature rates.

    You are right to avoid combat TV The people who watch those shows, by and large do not go to strip clubs to see features.

    If you are really serious about featuring email me and I can maybe help...and it doesn't require putting anything in your "bum"

    Good Luck

    I believe Melonie meant that a feature cannot rely on private dances as a source of income, and if a customer wanted personal attention and the feature was willing to comply, her alternative was doing so outside the club. And even so, why should we believe you about Jenna!?

    You can believe me or not...I know Jenna quite well and her rates are fairly common knowledge.
    I have been in the biz over ten years I have seen girls come and go, I understand this business because it is my business. I also understand what it takes to be successful and where the landmines are.

    Porn Features who don't hook are the rule, those who do are the exception.

    I have many close friends who feature including Devon Michaels, Felicia Fox, Nina Dolci, Melissa Wolf, Anna Malle and Gina Lynn to name just a few.

    But getting back to Jenna she is a HUGE draw...she can pack a club to capacity with a 20 dollar cover so she commands very high rates...generally in the ballpark of 35-45K per week just to show up...if she stays a week.

    I checked out your website. You do porn. How can you help a dancer get into featuring without doing porn? Or are you only offering to help her feature with vanilla porn?

    Nina Dolci, Melissa Wolf, and Anna Malle all escort (see www.exotica-2000.com and www.bodymiracle.com). I disagree that escorting is the exception. Feature dancing doesn't make the money it used to, clubs have cut their bookings in half, and many clubs can't afford to book the high-priced feutures anymore.. Jenna Jameson is an exception. Most porn stars can make a lot more money escorting than she can featuring.

    Jennifer, I saw you when you were here at Jills. You're one of the few features anymore that actually dances with the music. You rock! :-)

    Symone, are you in Pittsburgh?

    I do a lot more than just porn. i am a published photographer and as I said I have a lot of friends who feature...some DON'T do porn....If she is serious I can potentially help...Is there anything in it for me? maybe yes maybe no but I will give her honest advice regardless. I have worked very hard to have a good rep in a biz thats full of scumbags, I do it one person at a time. Sometimes I can help them sometimes I can't.

    I saw the site too. I'm curious, but willing to take his advice. Maybe he knows some advanced business tactics??? I'm willing to listen. After all, I made it pretty clear that I didn't want to do porn. So maybe he knows some insider tips. Foot in the door stuff. Does escort work almost always entail sex, by the way?

    Unless you want to get attacked, yes. "Escort" is synonymous with prostitution. Escorts who don't offer sex are at very high-risk for being robbed, beaten, and raped.

    I didn't say that the girls I know don't escort...some do some don't...some dancers turn tricks in the VIP room some don't its a fact of life...and before you get too judgemental remember there are those who have plenty of moral problems with people who strip for a living. I say if you are comfy with stripping, porn, hooking whatever god bless ya...and if you aren't don't do it.

    I dont have any magical formula for Juliette but I can give her good honest advice, if someday she decides to give porn a try I suspect she will remember me, if not I sleep just fine at night because I dont twist anyones arm to get into this biz.

    If Juliette has that something special she can feature without porn, if not at least she has msome honest advice from someone who knows the biz.

    I don't think anyone here wanted to delve into the morality issue of porn or escorting, Mike. I think Sara's main point was that you stated that "porn features who don't hook are the rule, those who do are the exception," but then half of the features you went on to name are known to escort. It seems she was more questioning that point than being judgemental of what choices those girls have made in regards to sources of income.

    I understand, but the bottom line is I don't care. devon doesn't hook, Anna does both are among my closest friends and I could care less.

    I know Jenna who doesn't hook, I also know Alexa rae who doesn't hook and I know about 30 others who don't hook and I still maintain that it is the exception and not the rule. I know a ton of house dancers who hook on the side....does that mean that all peelers hook on the side? Or even most peelers? No, of course not, most don't and therein lies my point.

    I was kinda stunned that the website someone mentioned had represented dancers/feature superstars as escorts....so I looked it up.
    I knew Melissa Wolf (miss Nude Vancouver) from canada long before she worked the states...not that we were close not by any stretch of the imagination, but anyway - am I nieve to believe that this isnt escorting but bookings for events as they say?

    As usual, this thread is in danger of getting sidetracked over the subject of 'extras' just like many other threads. As Mike put it so succinctly, I could also care less whether a feature escorts or not - it's her business.

    However, the point really needs to be driven home that there is a very real "feature draw" versus "feature fee" relationship to deal with. As Mike said, Jenna is in a class by herself in regard to the ability to fill a club with new customers, and her feature fee reflects that ability. As you move "down the scale" of feature credentials, there is a point at the bottom of the scale where the fees that clubowners are willing to pay to girls that don't do XXX and don't have well respected credentials barely equal the travel and accomodation expenses. So there are really two important questions not just one - does a girl have what it takes to be a feature, but also can she make more money doing it than dancing in a local club ! It is the second question which tends to lead to some features "supplementing their incomes" outside the clubs, as travelling from city to city on an announced schedule lends itself perfectly to "supplemental" activities. Many features can make a fortune without "supplemental" income, other features choose not to consider "supplemental" income sources regardless of their feature income etc. Again, to each his own.

    Thanks Mike for injecting a bit more reality into our BBS - it is needed. For the benefit of anybody who hasn't figured it out, Mike has been a major player for years and speaks from experience.

    about that Melonie is damn right! Many features would net more as a house girl. The times have indeed changed. Some of the girls argue that you would make more working at the bunny ranch...not something I would advise for a porn star OR a feature, thats a career ender 9 times outta 10.

    But if she has it in her blood to be a feature I ain't gonna tell her she can't do it...just what she is up against and realistically what her options are.

    On another note I like this board and I whole heartedly congratulate you guys on getting together for each others support...something the porn biz could definatly learn from you. Keep it up and remember in a sense you are all very related those who do porn or escort or dance should not be looked down on by anyone in the sex biz....It's all just what level you are comfortable with. Support each other and help each other by exposing the scumbags and exchanging ideas openly ya can make a difference.
