that's about right. a friend's pooch had to have spinal surgery last year. $2500 later and she's eating three squares of canned chili a day til the tab is taken care of. and she actually has a solid job. talk about a racket.



To some people, including porn whores, pets are like family. They (people), don't have anyone at home. I had a cat for 22 of my 30 years, and when we had to put him down in 2007, it was loosing a little brother.

You can make fun of that all you want, I don't give a fuck, but it's easy to poke fun if you've never had an animal/pet affect your life in that fashion for so long.

but if you live in LA the money doesn't go as far as you may think. Especially after testing, paying an agent, and taxes if it's payroll.



Funny you mention this, but it's a point I tried to make in another unrelated thread. Pornwhores would be better of living in areas other than LA and just flying in 2 weeks out of each month.

Alas, the allure & "to do" of LA attracts them to the point they want to be there (or Phoenix, San Diego, etc.) full-time. Few of them realize the expense. One porn whore I talked to told me of living in a $1700/month 1BR apartment, all because she couldn't stand to live where she was from. I told her that's where a shit-ton of her earnings went, considering such rent on a place would amount to $20k per year, not including utilities or luxuries (cable, phone, internet).

My figuring is that with the right plan, a porn whore can live in areas of this country for less-than-half of that (including utilities), and fly to/from LA roundtrip for $400 round trip, and life would be WAY cheaper. However, they all see the big paycheck - with little regard to how short-term or how far it really goes after 5-10 years.

I will now make the obligatory Tia Ling joke...

"Tia Ling have terminally ill doggie, she just eat him. Save medical bill, hahahahaha".

Why do you think so many don't own their own names or domains? The first time they get a website going, they think they have to hand over their identity to get this website. When the website doesn't work out, whoever started the website for them takes the girl's name and she can no longer use that name ever again. That's why so many girls change their names. Either the website owner owns their name or a company, modeling agency, manager, publicist, or photographer.



Are you seriously that naive, you cunt? For starters, most girls never owned their own domain name. That is why when they do start a site, it's usually suffixed/prefixed with "xxx", "xstar" or some variation that indicates they're a porn whore. I'd say that most domain scavengers have the name(s) gobbled up within a month of them gaining any notoriety whatsoever. They never see the value of investing in their brand until it's too late.

The webbies only "take" the girl's name because they are either the one who negotiated the name away from the original scavenger (as they are scavengers themselves). The girl, despite the dedication of site to her, owns nothing - which is why she gets so little. In the event the info is available (and not proxied), whois.net is your friend.
