The traditional "curve" of your average porn whore is:

1. set up account at onemodelplace...claim you won't do porn

2. start nude modelling for non-porn people like Andy McFarland

3. move to FTV Girls

4. progress to Danni.com

5. make the "jump" to hardcore

6. do some hardcore lezzie scenes with dildos and anal strapons

7. announce you'll be doing your "first b/g anal"

8. retire on myspace to a life of "feature dancing"

8a. retire to the bunny ranch to a life of sex work, either legal hooking (Sunset Thomas, JR Carrington) or sex clubs (Nikki Dial, Porsche Lynn)

9. turn 40 and find a real job for the first time in your life

10. funeral.

When this general timeline is practiced out of sequence, it affects peoples' perceptions. It's worked for hundreds of whores--Inari Vachs, Lois Ayres, Teri Weigel, etc, etc.
