thanks, burg. my plan wasn't to abandon stripping for porn. in fact, my first year in porn, i only made 8 movies. i was living in las vegas, paying my mortgage with stripping (just as i had at home in seattle) plus stacking away excess while driving out to los angeles for scenes. i was repping myself and only doing b/g. i wanted to do porn because i was a fan. i was envious when i saw the box covers, when i saw the posters, and especially when i watched the scenes. it's the secret female fantasy version of being a rockstar. then there was the obvious...i like sex. why not escort you ask? because i saw sex as an art form. yes, i saw the raw emotion of lust, the pride of being a whore, and even the cum dripping from whore mouths as an art form. escorting seemed too cut and dry, too blatant as a transaction. looking back, i should have worked for exotica 2000 and profitted from my newness. they got busted, so i'm glad i didnt. you know what else i liked about doing porn? i knew how much i was making and knew it would be the easiest job in my life- even easier than stripping. why not take advantage of the money in porn?

finally, the blonde barbie, fake tit, plastic fantastic era was over. gonzo gave way to untraditional types like me. if i had the opportunity previously, i would have done it. sure, there was local internet porn starting to surface back home in seattle months before my home purchase in las vegas, but i didn't want to go that route. i wanted to do porn the most authentic way- in los angeles with the companies i grew up watching.

hope that answers your questions.
