    Default Jenna's Book

    So I just finishhed reading Jenna Jameson's book and I am wondering if what she says about her stripping days is the whole truth? I mean $4000 a night?? I enjoyed reading it but would love to know if their is any extension of the truth!

    I read her book and enjoyed it ... I really like her, but I did feel that her ego is a little too big and certain details like that HAD to be exagerrated.

    She was in Vegas, back in the really good days, and she managed to rope in some high spending regulars. You wouldn't make that unless you lied (which she might have been padding her numbers a bit) or looked like Jenna/had jenna's personality.

    I'm sorry, I personally cannot stand her. Anyway, it would be true to make that much sometimes, but no one has a good day every single day.

    Uh... thats funny because I know people who knew her when she first came to porn and she was an escort in Vegas... then got into porn... As an escort she could make $4k a day... which is what I believe she was because Jim South amoung others have mentioned this.

    Didn't want to say it, but i heard from a few guy customers who hit Vegas she was an escort there. I thought it was all rumour.

    But anyway...I LOVE her brown hair. Damn...if i can't wear it

    She's ok....but the book was kinda out there for me. But she's trying to sell, who wants to read about a boring life on your back, i feel she had to "beef" it up some.

    Now, I could be wrong here, b/c I read through the whole book in the matter of 3 days (I couldn't put it down)....but that obviously wasn't mentioned in the book, was it? (escorting??) Not that I care, and not that's it's bad, but she makes herself seem like the world's greatest stripper and the world's greatest porn star.....personally I don't feel that she's that enigmatic to make that money as a stripper. At least not on a regualr basis. Would make more sense if she was escorting, but I don't remember that in the book. As I was reading it, I remember thinking that I wondered how much was true and how much was left out...

    I have not read the book in a while.... but same here.. i could not put the book down and it took me like 3 days. I remember her mentioning alot of her money making from photo shoots. Another thing i noticed... she made references to "never wanting to go back to stripping." I felt as if she had a real problem with it that she was not disclosing in her book... anyone else catch on to that?

    The first time I read the book, I read it in only a few days because I thought it was so good- and I've read it a few times since then. Even though I'm not sure I believe that everything she said is true, I still love the book. It is definetely entertaining and worth reading, even if some things she said were exaggerated.

    Silky, I just finished reading her book, and she does say that she doesn't want to strip again, but I understood that she was bored with it and didn't like the long hours, mental/physical energy it took. She complained alot about her back, legs etc hurting.

    I really liked the book as well, and think Jenna is awesome.

    I could imagine she was an easy extras girl. But I'm not that attracted to that type. Still a BJ is a BJ. With 10-20 of those a night (and a few extra for bribes), $4000 would be an easy target.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    Uh...in the LV escort market, someone like JJ could have easily gotten $500-1000/hr as an outcall escort, even before she was famous and much more afterwards.

    *sigh*

    Why does Jenna Jameson still have a career?

    She offers about as much to the universe as Paris Hilton does, and the only real distinction between the two seems to be that Jenna - at one point in her life - was substantially more attractive than Paris. (Yeah, take a look at her early movies - back when she was dirty blonde with natural breasts. That would have earned my money faster than the current Barbie-Goes-Downtown look.)

    I loved her term "turbo-breasted"

    I think it should become SW lexicon.

    Her porn was very boring. Painfully so. I like Jenna the personality though.

    The book was certainly filled with a lot of hype and self-aggrandizement, but did give an interesting and amusing insider's view of the industry. I particularly enjoyed her description of that geriatric geek Randy West offering her way more than anyone else to defile her nubile body with his liver-spotted, clutching fingers and aging penis.

    I was less than impressed with her description of how some hot Hollywood actress (Angelina Jolie, was it--I forget now?) was supposedly begging her for sex, but whatever...

    I admire her spirit, but deplore the detestable changes she has made to her body.

    When she first came out into the porn scene, she was the hottest thing ever to be seen, and arguably still has been the hottest.

    As for her appearance now, she does nothing whatsoever for me--having long ago destroyed what appeal she once had with innumerable plastic surgery sessions, which among other things utterly ruined some of the finest breasts imagineable. And I have seen more than enough of her videos to last a lifetime, since an old girlfriend of mine was a huge fan of hers. I can now sympathize with those who fuind porn a turn-off.

    I agree with this post.

    I've watched my fair share of porn, but I think I've only seen one or two of Jenna's films, and wasn't overly impressed with her. But one night I was channel surfing and came across her E! True Hollywood Story, and found it pretty compelling. I came away from it an admirer despite having seen very little of her work.

    Amen to that. Jenna is to porn what Starbucks is to coffee. Overaggrandized and overpriced.

    Check out her early videos, they are infinitely superior.

    The Randy West videos she made were excellent, if you can stand to see him in there with her--I can't bear that guy any more. His voice alone drives me up the fucking wall.

    The Vivid stuff just doesn't cut it. Paul Thomas is probably one of the worst big-name porn directors out there, and his imitators suck, too.

    I like what they are trying to do--make porn more appealing to couples--but the approach is all wrong. A heavy emphasis on plot would be great, if any of them could actually act, and the plots were well written--but they can't, and they aren't.

    Okay, I don't care for her too much myself. Not a fan of Porn, I've tried watching SOOOO many different types of it, but it really just doesn't do anything for me.

    But anywho, none the less, I love reading about other people's lives. I turn to the obituaries every day in the news paper, some people just have facinating lives! So, I'd be interested in reading her book, didn't know she had one, what's the name of it??

    I have never liked her. She's washed up and much older looking than she really is. Can anyone say rode WAY too hard, and put up dried jerky?

    Her porn sucks, and she is a one trick....

    Argh how she still makes money looing like that, I'll never know. But I guess if "Air Force Ami" can so can Jenna.

    .


    (In this pic, she reminds me of Paris Hilton's mom, lol. Age-wise anyway. And she's only 2 yrs older than I am, and a few years younger than Pam, and we (Pam and I) both look WAY better, IMO.)

    She looks like she's in her mid 40's for cripes sake!!!

    Unfortunately, this is very common, especially in this area, and especially in this business. It can be so hard on so many women, and it shows.

    I have worked with a lot of women whose bodies are still tight and appealing, but their faces appear 10 hard years older than they are.
