Well, it came down to the last minute, but it appears we had a
miscommunication about what the models would be earning during this two
day event.
After doing some math, I decided that there was just no way the guys
would make enough money to justify losing their entire weekend.
(actually, 3 days with travel)
The main issue is the guys aren't strippers or dancers, so most will
be shy and not get out and try to hustle tips. The clubs feel that a
minimum amount should be given to 'dancers', and that they can make the
rest up in tips. That's not exactly how I had it planned. My guys are
adult entertainers
Sorry I dont even call them porn models. I dont consider myself as
part of the "Porn Industry" but the Adult Industry. You may think I am
splitting pubic hairs, but there is a palpable difference between the
two. My guys have 9-5 jobs, show up once a month to do their gig, and
there is no fan fare, drugs, limos, cocktail parties yadda yadda. None
of the stereotypical porn trappings you might imagine.
So they aren't naturally entertainers. Sure, they are eager to meet
people who think what they do is awesome, but it is a bit intimidating
for them, as their time doing Adult work is so separate from their
everyday lives.
I was of course covering the costs of airfare and hotels for all of
them, and putting in some funds myself, but again, it just was not going
earn the guys what they would if they stayed home and worked their
current jobs.
Bar events are a tough sell. The fans that can make it to them LOVE
to meet the guys, but I def. don't get a ton of new memberships. In
this economy, I know it would be more about PR for the site, but it
needs to at least be worth it for the models.
I think Micah and Mason are the most disapointed. Mason has been
working out realllly hard and he just looks more amazing everytime I see
him. Micah loves to party and ever since he found out about events, he
has wanted to be top of the list.
Valentino is a natural showman, and in a couple weeks his Oral video
will air (sorry if you have been waiting, but I am trying to space out
the Serviced videos so Ransom isn't there every Wednesday)
BTW, for those of you who keep asking. Tobin will be back next week
for a sex scene, and I believe he has a couple more set to air in the
coming months. Valentino is part of the team and has filmed two sex
scenes as well. Lots of fan faves Vander, Taylor, Micah and Kristopher
too!
So I apologize if you were making a special trip to Austin. Splash is
still an amazing event, and everyone should come at least once to
experience Splash! |
