Aptitude and Longitude (How to become a Contract Star)
by Nobody Special
If you’ve ever attended any of our Members’ Parties, or hung out with us at one of the bazillion industry conventions we attend, you may have heard variations of most of the topic of the day. To those of you, I’d advise just skipping to the oddly relevant photo set of “Georgia Adair Toys” and her first product endorsement shoot. Seeing Georgia concentrating naked seems like a much better option compared to listening to me ramble on, but since I did promise to do this article when we got back from Vegas this year, I’ll continue a bit for the hopeful and seriously aimed new readers we have (at least for this week I expect).
SO … for you aspiring adult super-stars out there, here’s a much shortened version of the typical “introduction” speech I always give when interviewing prospective clients. (Curiously, I’ve learned that if I had to write everything down, I wouldn’t be nearly so long-winded. You just think the paragraphs are long; you should hear the speeches.) The first thing I always ask may seem overly simple, but you’d be surprised how many people have stopped short over the years, just by hearing this introduction.
