Since her life seems to have been in a downward spiral for the last 15 years or so shouldn't she join Teri Weigel as a porno making Playmate? Someone here must have the resources to make it happen.



I'm surprised more Playmates (and indeed, Penthouse Pets, and Page 3 girls too) don't make the jump to porn...some go on to model for Playboy's Newstand Specials, but a lot of the time they just use previously unseen shots from their centerfold shoot...for the rest, it's pretty much a one-shot deal. I forget whether it's $20,000 or $25,000 they get, but either way, that's not going to last them forever. Especially when you consider how few of them go on to any form of sustained mainstream success.

If I was someone like AEBN, I'd start approaching some recent ex-Playmates with regards to PPV hardcore shoots. I'm sure there are quite a few of these girls who could bring in not only a decent buyrate, but probably an increased fee as well. They have decent exposure and name recognition, plus the added cachet of being a Playboy Playmate.

Most of them escort anyways, as the Mark Yagalla case demonstrated, so it's not that much of a leap. The difference is, most do so at an incredibly inflated rate which means they consequently get less work and make less per annum than lower priced girls

I think a 50/50 split between producer and Playmate could yield a healthy chunk of change. Use 100% disease free stuntcocks, light and shoot it properly, and you've got yourself a bonafide cash cow ready to be milked...frankly, I'm kind of surprised Playboy themselves haven't tried something along these lines themselves under a different brand.

Anyone more intimately connected with the VOD/PPV market want to hazard a guess at how much such a scene (i.e., not shot by drunken, annoyingly talkative boyfriend with nightvision camcorder) would be worth? How many 'units' does a good VOD title sell? Is it inconceivable that 5,000 people worldwide would be prepared to pay $10 to see one of their favourite Playmates or Kyla Cole/Jana Cova/Aria Giovanni do b/g (thus putting their b/g scene rate at somewhere around $25,000, which is at least 20 times the current average)?

Add in your ancillaries like DVD sales (If the girls shoots 5-6 scenes, for example), Hotel/Cable PPV, Download to Own/Burn etc., and it all begins to add up. The trick is getting the talent with the name recognition/built-in audience, which most Playmates (and a few other notable magazine models) already have.
