My dear Socialist,
I was never abused as a child or any other time and I have never taken drugs save for what a Doctor would give me after surgery. I have insurance and retirement investments.
What to do after I'm too old to perform. That time hasn't come yet for me but I didn't wait around to find out. I am the CEO for a media company, the Prsident of my own video company as well as my own Internet company. I still perform and enjoy immensly what I do. Degrading? Doing something on film I'd be doing anyway? I don't think so. I think degrading is a house wife that succoms to someone eles every desire and command for whatever crumbs their signifigant other decides to drop them. That's degrading.
I'm not alone either. I know lots of women in the industry that are great business women. As for others, they are here because they want to be. Shit, I've had to ask girls NOT to be so aggressive during a scene. LOL
