they've been dropped by, can't pay for, or are just too idiotic to use the real PR firm they hired. it's a second-tier agency out of manhattan who would turn white that what i just read was an official response.



That's what I gathered. The real firm does PR and IR, probably more IR, and I presume got them hooked up with that British fund. That's pure speculation on my part.

Excuse me, I'm going to go to PRNewswire and format Scott Hoover's menstrual angst into a proper press release so everyone can marvel at his genius for making a good impression on people.

get this, the big news is despite losing money, they've joined in allaince with a SILKSCREENING company to start a JKP clothing line. getting shelfspace in stores or peoiple who know the first thing about actually selling clothing is unrealistic if you aren't ready to spend some money.




Funny you mention that. One of my clients is an old hand in Conde Nast and said to me that the only type of business that needs more capitalization than print is fashion.

"Silksreening?" So are they just slapping their logo on something? Must be. Have they done actual market research on their brand? Who outside of porn and the Los Angeles County divorce attorney population has heard of Jill Kelly?

Here's a five second test:

Edit: links don't work with quote marks - just type them in google with quote marks around them if ya don't believe me.

Results 1-10 of 582,000 for "Jill Kelly".

Results 1-10 of 1,330,000 for "Jenna Jameson".

Results 1-10 of 765,000 for "Tera Patrick".

Results 1-10 of 814,000 for "Asia Carrera".

Now, figure that much of that is just product placement rather than "authentic" chatter. Jill has been in the business how long, though? Asia has no company with her name on it, neither does Jenna (not her full name, anyway), and Tera's probably done less than 30 videos in addition to not having her full name on her own company.
