Chasey Lain
Lain and Laid (pause) Off
by Ol’ Der & Weye Ser
Pictured: Chasey Lain and (Wicked Pictures Owner) Steve Orenstein in the Rockies, some time before the relationship turned that way. …
[It seems we have yet another oddity out here on the free side, which may or may not make any sense. Since that’s our general approach to life, though, we decided just to run with it. Imagine that. … Basically, you have below the opening movement of what turned out to be a little Chasey Lain Concerto by the time we were finished. It may encourage you to join for a month if only to see the end of the story. It may annoy you because we decided not to publish the several thousand words out here on the free blog. Or it may genuinely have no influence on your life whatsoever. We think that pretty much sums up the potential range in this instance, and after we get back from the Vegas AEE in January, we’ll see what happened. … If it fails somehow, then at least we gave something new a shot. We try never to repeat anything we’ve done wrong previously, obviously. We always strive for new and improved mistakes.] Continue Reading Risque

The posts about Tenaya over the summer and fall seem to have stirred up an unusual amount of interest in the young lady, even for our site, which tends to have active memberships. True, she was the “Summer 2009” Penthouse Pet and that certainly falls into the impressive category, but we know a lot of Pets, and so hearing about them here doesn’t raise that many eyebrows in the grand spectrum.
Apparently our unabashed ranting about the poor level of managerial options that people wanting to break into the adult industry currently face has caused a bit an uproar. Sometimes I forget that quite a few industry professionals follow the members’ side here, and many of those happen to be in the business I admittedly insulted recently. For the record, I stand by the characterizations we made, completely and incontrovertibly, but I will allow that a notable difference exists between an “agent” and a “manager” – even though prospective talent almost certainly would neither draw, nor understand the distinction.

The Travails of Tenaya
The Premise
by Nobody Special
From the earliest days of my tenure in this business, I’ve explained the philosophy behind the approach very simply: “I’m just selling shoes. I’m selling very pretty shoes, but I’m just selling shoes.” As odd as it may seem, like any entrepreneurial venture, sound business principles applied to the process will more often than not lead to relative success in the field. Although lacking the sexiness one might expect (or prefer) in the pursuit of an adult movie career, performers would be happier overall if they’d understand the boring economics behind their chosen profession. More to the point today, if the people allegedly enlisted to help these people understood the issue, we might have a lot more talented people in the talent pool.
