Apparently that's what porn newbies Ann Kelly and Lexi Williams were trying to accomplish with their own careers which they thought were ending in a toilet.
Kelly and Williams [pictured, l-r] are with Alternative Modeling, which is run by Eli in Florida. Alternative Modeling got some colorful publicity last year. Word got out that they were supplying models to a company that was hunting wild game only to have the Alternative porn girls fucking next to the dead carcasses. So it's not surprising that Kelly and Williams know what it's like to be deader than a water buffalo in the sense that they're not getting any work. The women, along with maybe six others, are in town, basically sitting around with thumbs up their respective asses, according to what they're saying. Sounds like they don't have an alternative.
"Kind of tossed aside," says Kelly. "We had been planning this trip for a couple of months and the day before our trip, our agent says where's the money for your plane ticket?" According to Williams, those things were supposed to have been taken care of by the agency weeks prior along with a house.
"The day before, he's saying you got your plane tickets, right?" says Williams. According to the women, because Eli didn't have the money for the house to rent, they had to spring for their own air fare.
"He's like, I'll pay you back later." From what they're saying, the women, also had to put up money for their own food.
"Supposedly he rented this house for $3,000," says Williams. "Every time he gets mad, the price goes up. So today we're out $4,000. That's how much he's going to charge us rent. One minute he's telling us we're not charged rent, then we are." The women are currently staying at a house in the Valley- Sherman Oaks- and it sounds like some of the amenities are missing which they had to provide on their own.
"We're not getting reimbursed," adds Michaels. "And he [Eli] clearly stated that we're not getting reimbursed. Even though this is a house where we're supposed to have a bed and a pillow and a blanket." The women have been in town for five days and say it's been a horrible experience so far.
"So he takes us on these go-sees," Kelly relates. "He takes us, and we go see if we can get a job with that company."
"And all the companies are, like who are you?" says Williams.
"We didn't have anything lined up," says Kelly. "We have two "star players" in our team. "And apparently if they didn't come, we'd have to live at a hotel. He tells us that we're not the ones making the money but he's taking 20% of it. He's pushing these girls to do everything and pretty much if they don't want to do it, we all get screwed."
McKenzee Miles is one of the "stars" I'm told. For her part, Kelly says she hasn't worked but the way the trip was sold to them, they were booked solid in advance.
So far, Williams says she's been booked on two shoots and the others lined up are ATMS and pissing, not exactly career choices as far as she's concerned. I ask about the animal shoots and Kelly says don't even consider her for something as vile as that. And they're certainly well aware of the negative publicity that came out of Alternative's last visit to California.
"That's why Eli's hiding low," says Kelly. Williams said Daisy Duxxx, who was in the middle of the Water Buffalo shit storm, had been booked to come out, except it was decided at the last minute that it wouldn't be a good P.R. move. Kelly and Williams make it sound like they've been pretty much left to fend for themselves even though they've been promised introductions and work. Williams says she'd rather hide than be associated with the situation as it now stands, and she talks about a shoot she was on the other day. She assumed she was getting paid at the end of it but was told it was payroll which came as news to her.
"Then Eli invoices us before we get the check," she says. "He gets 20% of what we get." Kelly said she and Williams were so fed up, they plan on taking the first plane out of LA as soon as they got some money together.
"And my first time in LA, Eli wants me to do a six-man black guy gang bang," Kelly says. "I don't think that's the best move for me right now. I'm not opposed to black people at all but I don't think that's going to be the best move for me. But he just wants to make a quick buck."
Williams notes that her mother is white and Chinese, while her father is black and Puerto Rican.
"But as far as everyone else in this world is concerned, I'm Asian," she states.
"He's pushing the Asian side which is okay every once in awhile. But not every company wants an Asian girl. Especially if you go to that Lexington Steele guy. I have naturally short hair but Eli makes me get extensions. He will not pay for my salon visits. It's ridiculous. That's not cool. There are agents that are driving girls to the mall and getting them cute clothes- maybe their first couple of outfits." According to Kelly and Williams, everyone they're staying with at the house are ready to walk.
"Even his star girls that he's pushing so hard- they're ready to go." Kelly also paints a picture- perhaps exaggeratedly- of them starving.
"We didn't eat all day long then had to wait for the male talent to get home to take us to eat something," she says. When confronted with the fact that the living conditions are ridiculous, Eli's supposed to have told the girls, this is the life of porn. Suck it up.
