BRITSTARS AND THE US MARKET

Post by Darkow »

This might have been covered before, but here goes.

Over here in North America, Layla, Roxanne and Nicci Sterling have become massive pornstars. In Canada in particular, Lay is approaching iconic status. And now there's a more recent new wave of britstars doing outstandingly well; Alicia, Angel, Ashley, Flick, Rebekah and Jamie in particular.

My question is this. What makes a brit pornstar decide to take the plunge and do shoots in the US and why don't some of the others not do anything. Apart from her Dick Nasty shoots (not really US porn, frankly) Wendy's done nothing in the US. Similarly Sarah, Sandie, Faye all of whome would drive fans here crazy.

Think about it, Wendy with Eric Everhard, Sarah with Lex Steele, Faye with Vince Voyeur and Sandie getting wrecked by Mandingo and Mark Davis!! Jenny Loveitt doing lez with Jewel de Nyle. The Violation of Kinky Kerry?!!

So what's the story? Disinterest or what? I recall reading somewhere that many of the first wave of stars (Roxanne, Nicci) went stateside thru' Uncle Ben's contacts/recommendations. Does it mean the good Earl of Dover has to give the girl his blessings (and a gobful of cum) before she can make it over there?

Would welcome informed comments on this.

Sandie Caine has been to the US. She's in Cum Swapping Sluts 2 with Mark Davis(RLD), she also did one of the American Bukkake movies, #20. So did Simone Whale.

Amber Rox, Teoni and Giselle and a few others seem to be the more recent girls go to over there. I didn't even know who Giselle was until I read the lastest BGAFD history update and found out she was in CSS#4 with Mandy Bright. And I already watched that movie without noticing. :-)

Thanks for the input, Mark. I'm going to look for the Sandie vids in my local rental.

Alicia, thank goodness you don't plan to turn your back on your roots (you can turn your back on me anytime). Your US scenes have been creating waves here and you're obviously a worthy ambassador of UK talent. Keep it up, girl, but please never stop doing homegrown Brit/Amateur stuff.

actually i have been done by mark davis and very sexy he was too. i have been to the states twice and the films are listed on my page.
i wont be going back tho. i do porn cos its fun and the states isnt any fun. its all turn up bang bang bang get paid go home. here its a chance to meet up with old friends and meet new ones that enjoy rolling around in front of a camera being rude and not being coaked (may have spelt that wrong) into doing stuff that frankly just dont turn me on.
here ur made to feel like the star of the show - how it should be - in the states its the guy who is the star and usually have the egos to match! i found filming in the states pretty derogative (may have spelt that wrong too).

The word I think you meant is "coaxed", Sandie. But I totally share your views. It's plastic and commercial here. It's real in britporn. BGAFD is all about bringing stars and fans together and it's wonderful for that kind of interaction to exist. I understand if you don't go back. Everything you've done home-wise is fantastic fun, so don't change.

Thinking about Sandie's comments regarding US porn studs being treated like the stars.

When you think about the top tier male talent - Lex, Eric, Mark, Lee Stone, Evan Stone, Vince etc - they're so implausibly well built, good looking (well, most times) and you feel so remote from them when watching them work. No matter the set up of the scene, their female co-stars end up looking like very pretty props as they strut their stuff with Viagra-laden cocks and washboard muscles. Not like your average Joe Pornfan.

The top US female talent just don't strike you as being close to their fans either, apart from synthetic "I love my fans" notes on expensive websites and industry magazine articles and interviews. I can't imagine a Brianna Banks, a Jenna Jameson, a Jewel de Nyle, a Jenna Haze chugging beer in the company of fans and allowing a top director to stick his tongue up her bum in public with said fans taking personal pics of the whole thing. Sure, they appear at CES, FOXE conventions and take pictures with fans, but the level of security, and the cost to gain admission is frankly so intimidating. Trust me, I've been there!

What I'm saying is this is what makes Britporn real.

Unfortunately, there's nothing like the money in the UK biz as there is stateside, so truly sexy and erotic aspiring stars like Marie Louise, Emma, Jenny, etc don't get the kind of exposure or the kind of income that they deserve.

There's no way here I could get to do an amateur shooting session with even a second tier star without paying big time money and in the end you'd feel like a pathetic supplicant. On the other hand, in the UK, the established female stars (Wendy, Sarah, Lay, Alicia, Angel, Faye, Sandie) and the equally gorgeous aspirants (Marie Louise, Sasha, Jenny, Emma) seem to go out to please their public and to get close to them (no pun intended).

So, if I had to budget between buying a vid with Wendy, Alicia, Marie Louise, Sandie, Faye even dear Libby, in it or one with hard-bodied Brianna, Jenna, Sydney Steele etc, no competition. The Britstars win hands down.

That's this fan's opinion.
