> posted on www.tonymalice.com: Well are many of you probably already read on LukeIsBack.com, or may have heard directly from her if you ran into her at the big porn party on March 10th, Genesis Skye is back in the business after breaking up with her coke dealing boyfriend.
As an industry, can't we just unite together and say "We are not going to hire Genesis Skye" any more? The girl is a disaster area. I've shot her before, and I'm sure many of you have. She is late, doesn't have the IDs, and has 1 million excuses to make your job harder. She can't even make it to her court appearances for Christ's sake.
Luke: "Why didn't you go to court?"
Genesis: "My car got stolen [about eight months ago] and I couldn't get there."
This girl has used the story of her car being stolen, which probably happened a year ago, to dodge more commitments and make more excuses than anyone I have ever met. And hello, I have seen this car. It was a rice racer Mitsubishi or Acura or Civic that was literally worth less money than a Sandy Bunz movie. I mean, what kind of degenerate do you have to be to have your life be so totally ruined by the loss of a $400 car?
So, my proposition to all of my industry peers is this: Let's do Genesis and the world a favor, and just stop hiring her. Playboy, that includes you too!

The only reason that Gene transcribes what happens is because nobody "listens" to KSEX except Wankus. Internet Radio in 2006? Sheesh get real.
> therock posts on www.xxxporntalk.com: I know it's not porn, but I used to like Playboy TV's NightCalls Hotline with Ashley Blue and Nautica Thorn. What the heck happened to it? It was the only show worth a shit on Playboy lame TV - now, they have have this new abortion called Night Calls Live with Jesse Jayne, which absolutely sucks. Ashley, if you are allowed to - can you respond here if the Hotline show is ever coming back? I emailed Playboy, and they never respond back to their paying customers, unfortunately.
> Chuck Bangher posts on www.pornstarperformance.com: very few people know me, but those that do would tell you I am more of an idealist than a capitalist, and have a great understanding of a variety of subjects....
we all know this industry has it's ups and downs (npi...), and that when business is good people celebrate....hangovers, insomnia, financial management, social disruptions all contribute to production setbacks. This causes headaches......
we use fantasy, as a marketing tool....and the adult industry can be a personally empowering experience, or an escape from other problems and some people don't want to be here, or don't want to be here half of the time, or just want to be here and enjoy it to the fullest.....(some too much).
I have a proposed solution,....we should hold a forum, not an online forum...but a free meeting of the minds and adopt a general principle in the industry (not a regulation, constitution, or union agreement...) that a general principle of professionalism be expected on all sides, with a level of understanding.....
I propose an idea that if any talent consistently flakes for 2 or more agencies, with acknowledgement from the agency(ies) he/she happened to be signed with at the time, that the industry standard pay should go down $200/ scene for a period of 6 months, or until all grudges are dissolved AND satisfied (and posted in an online forum such as this)....in addition, to repay "service" to the adult community.....he/she is required to attend 2 shoots a month as an on-site back-up, paying $50 (no travel, no lunch, within reasonable mileage) just to be there in case the contracted talent does not show, at which time he/she can receive full industry pay for the shoot (for saving the scene as a back-up), or provide additional footage on an on-site contractual basis between the producer and talent.....thus providing "scene insurance" at $50/scene.
And the talent wishing to correct an unfortunate mistake would have more opportunities to fill scenes and maybe help other people get over the times when they aren't perfect...and observe film/acting techniques that they can apply to their own career (further benificial to the industry).
The producers would have alot less headaches and a better perception of what the overhead costs would be ahead of the shoot, having narrowed the variables...
This Guidline, of course would need implementation by agencies, which I have heard others criticize...in this case, an agency would be hiring a "former-flake" and gaining new talent, but only under the above terms. Maintaining this standard can only add to the integrity of an Agency and word of mouth is a powerful business tool over all other forms of advertising. If the Agencies can manage Actors' & Actress' booking schedules on a spreadsheet, than an additional entry should not be too much to ask (an x next to xomeone's name?)....and calling on references is usually required as part of any job screening, as well as informing the employee of what is expected of them in order to represent the company. This should not raise any agency fees. People should expect management and a reasonable solution. Pimps have girls on their cell phone, too. And this is a legitimate industry with a professional standard.
In addition I would like to add, I do not know Jasmine Tame, and agree with Cliff's last post entirely, as well as understand that some producers for certain sites are good at stretching the scene a little, in the case of the first Mallory Knoxxxx Nightmare situation....
In addition, I'll also add that I do not know who Jasmine Tame is personally, but I am sure she is great on her best days......
