Methinks Layla~Jade is heading up a talent drain of Britain's finest to the US - Amy Ball, Angel Long announce their departures - and Bob Singleton is recruiting for Lay all over the internet!!
Great that our British girls shown the colonials how it's done - and I look forward to the future crop of videos and DVDs - but make sure they all come back!

I saw that post from Amy Balls US agent (he manages a few of the other girls too) but I was puzzled as to why she has quit the UK industry only. Is it because USA producers pay more? If so then I can understand the girls prefering USA work to Brit stuff but in a way its a shame because on the whole Brit productions have more variety and spontanaity than US stuff. All that production line porn such as "Gaping Asses 3423" gets a bit mundane.

hey if girls can get a visa or a college place in the US then of course they will go - porn is a short-term industry and the industry is much bigger over there. Good luck to all concerned I say!
Sad when we lose girls permanently to over there - but sadly inevitable.

Indeed - just look at the way Hannah Harper has slipped into porn mundanity with appearances in mediocre mass-produced eforts like the Anal Addicts series. I hope Angel, Amy et al don't go the same way.
Although to be fair, the only US production I've seen Angel in (Assault that Ass, scene with Donna Ibbotson and TT Boy) was absolutely excellent, so it's not all dross across the pond.

The girls do not go to college over there. They enrol so that they can get a student visa, pay the college fees and never attend. The easy way to be legal in the states for more thatn six months. How many of the girls that go out there are working legally, have a social security number etc.?

You would think that the population of the US would provide the producers with more than enough talent, rather than importing from the UK, or is it the accent?
And the question would be why don't girls look to Europe for their extra bucks, or have the fee's been kept to a low because of Eastern girls flooding the European market.
We need a feature on the US/Euro transfer market vs-a-vs pay etc on some high-brow prog on BBC2.
Just before I go, can I just say that some of the "talent" that has left, I never thought that good, just an aside IMHO.
