Wendy's -
"Sorry ?200 is out of my budget at the moment. When I run out of models who will do the shoot for ?120 I'll certainly email you to make a booking!"

I just don't understand the mentality - although I'm well aware it's almost the norm.

The guy is prepared to invest time, travel, reputation even, and then compromise on the basic ingredient.

- Or maybe Wendy's signature enthusiasm is isn't of value or importance to him. Sad Git.

The fatal flaw in Chanta's arguement is that "you get what you
pay for".
Just too much of a generalisation these days sadly.
Money the man maketh- God,if only life was that clearcut.

Hehe - Wartburg factory. I agree with you, on the whole, Ben, although I still love Private films because the girls are SO beautiful (and even if they're not great performers, they've still got cocks up their bottoms) and the production values are excellent too.

Not all of their East European girls are such dullards though. Damnit I wish Julia Taylor would make another film. Still, I suppose she only needs one per year to keep her in beetroot and cardigans. Shuh.

Heh, sorry for calling you an amateur, Ben. Still, I reckon that a healthy amateur sector is good for porn. What have you guys got to fear? I mean, maybe some amateur producers ARE dodgy, and maybe many of them do bargain hard for fees they can afford, but the facts remain that a) you guys are still free to pay the girls whatever you consider a "fair" wage, whatever the amateurs pay; and b) the girls are free to choose not to work for amateurs they don't like.

The main reason I'm defending the amateur sector, though, is that it's the breeding ground of talent. Just as back streets and patches of wasteground are where young footballers hone the skills that may take them to Old Trafford one day, so back bedrooms and cheap B&Q wallpaper form the backdrop to burgeoning porn careers. Many of these guys will simply remain raincoated wankmasters from now till kingdom come, of course. But others will move on to better things - after all, I know I don't need to tell you guys that (sadly) people aren't just born with a camera in their hand and two writhing blondes on a bed in front of them. Success as you know comes from hard work and practice, both of which will come naturally to those who do it for fun. Same in any creative profession or sport - football, journalism, web design, porn...

Anyway keep up the good work sonny jim. I caught your cameo performance in "Lusting London style" the other day. Quality :

"When I run out of girls who will do the shoot for 12o quid" - how many is he booking? Tosspot.

I'd completely forgotten about that. Was that the one where I walk in at the end for no apparant reason with a skateboard and a bad Australian accent? If I remember rightly that impromptu performance was because Frank Thring hadn't actually got around to thinking of an ending to the movie!! As you say; Quality.

Ha, the very same. From what I gathered of the plot, you were the true heir to the fortune the characters were disputing, or something. Raised a smile anyhow...
