What exactly is a Star?
In my book, a 'Star' is someone who commands authority because of a supreme talent. A 'Star' calls the shots.
But has it really been that way in porn?
How many 'stars' in porn can choose who they shoot with, or what they shoot?
How many 'stars' in porn are really nothing more than well-paid slaves, who fuck who they are told to fuck, and when?
Now that 'stars' have been protected from disease, COURTESY of Cal/OSHA...
...A new, powerful sea change is about to take place.
The STARS of porn, now that they can no longer be deemed 'infected' by society, will be much, much more powerful, and will command bigger followings.
In turn, for studios, these followings will result in MONEY.
What would happen if a porn 'star' was known to pick his or her talent, was known to be free from disease, was not a drug addict a drunk or a criminal, stood up for the health and welfare of his or her fellow workers, and was a trusted and well liked person?
Most of you think I'm describing Jenna Jameson.
I'm not.
Jenna is a 'porn chick', to be sure, but she definitely has her problems, and her problems are not secret. Drug addiction, gang rape, comes from a broken home, has escorted on the side, was a former stripper- you get the picture.
Definitley NOT a candidate to be a STAR...that is...a REAL STAR.
(Since I'm posting this on xxxporntalk.com, I guess I should make clear that I'm NOT describing Gen Padova. While educated, Ms. Padova chose to side with the studio heads on the issue of worker safety. She won't be able to stand up to public scrutiny, as a result. She'll always be seen as a follower, instead of a leader. A REAL STAR simply does not follow. A REAL STAR is not, in short, a 'scab'. Pun intended.)
So here's my question to all of you in the industry...
What would happen if you found a 'good girl', made her a RIDICULOUS OFFER to come into the industry, and allowed her to call the shots?
What would happen if you found a girl who is not on drugs...
A girl who would say NO to things that were not appropriate...
A girl who was educated...
A girl who came from a household where both parents are still together, and she was NOT abused...
A girl who PREACHES safe sex, and who actually abides by it...
A girl who understands social limits on sexual behavior, and does NOT aggressively attempt to demean those who don't agree with her...
A girl who can act, sing, dance, write, fuck, interview well, and does NOT cheat on her boyfriends, or knock down her friends...
A girl who WILL NOT be told what to do by porn studios and agents, and who will NOT indulge in scandalous behavior outside the porn set...
A girl who could stand up to scrutiny of the whole world, and the media of it, when her history is examined...
Yes, you think I'm mad. Problem is, I'm usually right.
Regardless...
Here's what I want you to do, so you can all make lots, and lot of money, and stop complaining about condoms and gloves and dental dams-
-FIND US THIS GIRL.
What I want you to do is SEARCH.
SEARCH for this girl, FIND HER, and then let her BE A STAR.
We're looking for a GODDESS out here, folks.
I thought I had one, but she wasn't tough enough.
Find us a TOUGH ONE.
Find us a GODDESS who can say NO to things that are BAD for her, and YES to things that are GOOD for her.
Find us a GODDESS so smart, yet so sweet, and so tough, and so intelligent, that all of us MEN out here can RESPECT HER.
It's time to stop DEGRADING girls, ladies and gentlemen.
It's time to find a girl, or girls, who are so SHARP, and so HOT, and have so much DIGNITY...
That WE, the faithful porn CONSUMERS- want to WORSHIP THEM.
We all know that porn chicks escort on the side.
That simply won't do.
Find us a goddamn GODDESS, folks.
That's where the money is.
We need something to worship.
Once you find her, if we like her...
...Trust me...
...We'll be very, very happy that's she's protected from disease, and we will CHAMPION the fact that the actor that SHE CHOSE TO USE is wearing a CONDOM.
Wanna make money in porn?
Listen to what I'm telling you.
We don't want 'whores' anymore, folks.
We want a girl, or girls, that we can RESPECT, and LOOK UP TO.
We want a girl whom we can read about in the national news, who has NO SKELETONS in her closet.
It's time to start looking.
Do you know where to look?
Probably not.
Here's some more advice:
Throw all of your old standards of recruitment out the window.
Real Star Power can be found in the most amazing places.
Is it a tall, tall order I have for you, so that you can stay in California, and don't have to live in Prague, or worse, Mexico?
You bet it it is.
Real Star Power is hard to find...and that's exactly why we WANT IT.
We need someone who's real, who can stand up to criticism like a Presidential Nominee. Someone who is NOT a whore, NOT a bitch, NOT a SLUT...
...a girl whom we can WORSHIP.
Good luck.
