Last night my good friend Brittany Andrews had her going away party at the Standard in downtown Los Angeles. I had very mixed emotions at the party. I was very happy to see that Brittany was moving on with her life to go to film school; yet I was sad to see such a good friend move away, and leave behind the industry that she has been a part of for 15 years.

She granted me the honor of doing the final video interview of her career, which I captured for AEBN. In the interview she said a couple things that really stuck out. She said she was thankful for the career in the adult industry; unlike a lot of other girls, she had nothing bad to say about her time in front of the camera. She also said she was leaving because it has gotten so much harder for a small independent producer, like herself, to compete. Many movie producers like Brittany have struggled to make the transition from the one where people bought VHS tapes then DVD’s, to one where porn is available everywhere online.

Brittany ran Britco pictures in downtown Los Angeles for ten years. Boy do I have some vivid memories from that place. Brittany and I also had many great adventures together. Just a few of the places we filmed were Tallinn, Estonia; Miami, Florida; London, England; Washington, DC; New York City, etc…To quote Brittany, “We dp’d a lot of bitches!”.

Brittany accomplished some great things. The culmination of which was when she was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame last month. She was named one of the top ten Porn stars of all time by Playboy Magazine, and was nominated for several AVN Awards as producer and performer. Brittany always did things her own way, and was a true maverick and pioneer. I wish her the best in film school, and can’t wait to see the new films, that she produces when gets out of film school.

Dan, if you traded in your car for a station wagon you and Wankus could do the roommate thing and save what little money you both have for


One more thing, I just looked up your credits on IAFD, Strapon Chicks 12: Say My Name Bitch sounds like a great movie, you should be proud of your directing job.

Is she still going to escort? Is there going to be a going away party for that too?

Well, well, Porno Dan! You are surely the Man for being so closely involved with Brittany Andrews. Awesome!

I think she's ugly, but that's a matter of taste. On Wikipedia, it's written she had plastic surgery, before entering porn. I don't even want to know what she looked like before the butchery.

At IAFD, she is listed with 252 films. I think: "not bad". Then I click to the list of movies. What do you think? Half of the movies is 'Nonsex' or 'MastOnly'. I understand the Hall of Fame entry: `Most Appearances in Adult Movies Without Having Sex.`

But, it´s nice to see that the two of you have been halfway around the world to shoot some scenes.

Well Dan, just wank on!

This just doesn't have the same impact like when Lou Gehrig retired. Seriously, I thought retired yrs. ago.

no loss there. her fuckin' films sucked anyway. another wayward teenage whore will take her place by the end of the week

She has my blessing. She did Interracial from the get-go and always kept it available in her profile (even though, as other have noted, she didn't work much).

What's not to like about a cute pin-up blonde with fat, juicy lips?

I was there to see her off. We talked a lot about what her future might hold. I think it is presumptuous to assume that she will continue any kind of adult work in NYC. She is actually planning to attend film school and she has already been admitted. She saved a lot of her adult money to make this dream a reality. She told me at least half of every check went into a school fund.

Brittany is a good girl. I definitely will miss her. She was one of the good ones.

Some guy pushed a girl into the rooftop pool about halfway through the night but it was the shallow end. He was actually with me and Susan. The movie playing on the building projection screen was Easy Rider. Kind of appropriate on so many levels.

No Brittany will not be escorting. She has put aside money and will not be working while she is in film school.
