The Ballad Of Jade Hsu

BongoGigolo writes on raincoatreviews in the Spring of 2005:

I've shot Jade Hsu 3 times in the last 6 months for my own personal collection. Jade has related to me that she is not going to do anymore films for major porn studios and will concentrate on performing for private videos and dancing at the Valley Ball in the San Fernando Valley. This is a travesty that a woman who has been in the biz this long is bailing out.

I'm surprised that Jade has done that many films too. More than are even noted on the web. IAFD probably has the most up to date videography. Excalibur has her videography too but some of the films are with Jade Marcella. I own over 40 of her best titles plus the 3 shoots I did with her. I had Kaylynn set up a girl/girl shoot with her 2 years ago. I directed the content all via e-mail from my home. The vid was shot by Red Ezra. 2 weeks later I received my own 50 minute custom video of Jade and Kaylynn going at each other with a variety of toys culminating with Kaylynn f---ing the s--- out of Jade with a strap-on! I'd say one of Jade's best girl/girl scene's besides this one is with Chrissy Sparks in Patrick Collin's "Where The Girls Sweat Alot" This is early Jade before the nipple piercings and some of her nastiest.

Jade usually shoots when she wants to. She has had numerous offers to perform for many different studio's and either doesn't follow through or cancels. She is all but retired now but told me she would prefer to do private shoots for fans then shooting for public release's. I agree that in some of her scene's she is just going through the motions and barely generates any heat. Then again I have seen performances of her's that are very erotic and she is genuinely into the sex. What scene's are you referring to where she looked drugged out? Her scene with Jules Jordan in Perfect Specimens is also a good scene. Jules catches her off guard and nails her with a huge load all over her gorgeous face at the end of the scene. When I shot her she was very accomodating as to what I wanted her to do. She even agreed to some anal with anal beads and a vibe. Also did a DP with the anal beads. Her personality comes across in some of her films. She's actually very shy at times. I've spent a week in total with her during the 3 shoots we did and have gotten to know her well. She loves to smoke weed, she drinks very moderately and that's about it. She can be somewhat of a space case at times but what woman isn't? I'm thinking of shooting her again this time with Kember sometime this summer.

Jade, depending on her mood can be somewhat lame sexually. She prefers shooting still shots and is a great poser. I've seen almost all of her releases. The private shoots she did with me surpassed my expectations. If you would like to see her enjoy herself check out "Where The Girls Sweat Alot" with Crissy Sparks, this is a good g/g scene. Also, her b/g scene's in Perfect Specimens, Asian Street Hookers #29 with TTBoy and her scene in Spring Chickens are all good and show she can let loose when she wants to.

The very first time I met Jade she and I had spoken on the phone a few times. We discussed what I wanted to shoot. She had never met me before or even knew what I looked like. When I picked her up at the airport she was very warm to me. When we arrived at my house she related that since she wasn't aware of my appearance and found me attractive she wanted to GIVE me a personal. I was completely caught off guard. I must have eaten that beautiful pussy for at least an hour culminating with her riding my face 69 while I had my index finger all the way up her ass. She blew her load on my face twice in this position. The next day we did our shoot. Beginning with a number of solo masturbation sequences with different toys, costumes and sets. Then we began a POV with her sucking me off with unbelieveable eye contact. We also postioned ourselves in a 69 position with the camera behind my head, Jade ontop. I'm pulling her gorgeous lips open and eating her while she f---s herself doggie with a latex dildo. Great shot! I also f---ed her doggie, reverse cowgirl and cowgirl. All in all I was very happy with our first shoot. I initially had anticipated that she would be hard to warm up since we had never met. This was not the case. Based on the fact that we had developed a rapport on the phone, she loved my chronic and I treated her with respect I was happy I invested in her services.

Jade related to me that the only reason she did anal with a dildo in Cousin Stevie's Pussy Party #3 was to win the extra $1000 he was offering for the girl who was the nastiest in the video. Unfortunately she didn't win. Jade called me the other evening. She was very distraught. She has no means of transportation. Apparently she wrecked a friends car ended up paying off the note at the bank for them and then had to buy them a new car. She had no insurance and neither did her friend, except liability. Her ex boyfriend has been driving her to and from the club she dances at. She told me he is playing games with her as far as giving her a ride among other emotional games. There is more to the conversation I had with her but it's too much to even try and relate in his post I told her to get rid of this guy, move on and find another means of transportation. I feel sorry for this woman. If she had started her own website as I had suggested to her months ago she may not be in the financial crunch she is in now. There are so many people making money off her images on the web and she doesn't receive a dime except for her shooting fee. She may be coming to stay with me for a couple of weeks next month to regroup and shoot with me again. Since I've shot her 3 times already, solo, POV and girl/girl I'm at a loss of what type of content to shoot this time around. Any suggestions gentlemen?

The problem that exists with her is that she really can't get anywhere on her own. She also has no interest in shooting for mainstream production company's anymore. I told her she could go out and make a pile of cash in a matter of weeks if she wanted to do it. She just has no interest. She will book an audition or an interview and then get "cold feet". I related in our conversation I had 2 different guys on the web e-mail about wanting to book her for private shoots. She wasn't interested. She told me she is in such a volatile state that she doesn't trust anyone. I have developed such a great rapport with her now that she related she actually trusts and confides in me. She's really a very intelligent woman even though at times she comes off like a space case. I figure jadafox.com is still doing well. The sites still up and running 3 years later. The guy who owns the site I have spoken to via IM. He told me 3 years ago before I met Jade that this was her official endorsed site. This is not the case. She mentioned she was going to try and stop his use of her images, but as usual didn't follow through. I just hope she doesn't do something dramatic.

Jade has always been into body modification. If you've seen her films she has even related that at times. I know she's never been in the joint and I don't think her tat's are prison tat's. The name PAUL on her left leg is the guy who she first lost her virginity to.

Sacuer & Blaze I agree with you both that Jade should get out of the business. She is practically retired anyway. I know she has a desire to become an entrepeneur. She has many ideas that I have discussed with her. The problem is having her focus on something in particular and then pursuing it. She can be very scattered at times and needs to focus on one goal at a time. I think that if she did come to stay with me for awhile we would be able to brainstorm ideas for her to pursue. I still love shooting/sex with her. Her ex-boyfriend is playing a manipulative game with her. It's hard for her to severe her relationship with him as she went out with him for 7 years. She stopped seeing him because one night she came home after working last summer to find him in their bed with a "welfare ho". The guy must be completely out of his mind to cheat on someone as loyal and as gorgeous as Jade.

Jade called me again Friday evening. Her ex has moved in with her again and is trying to manipulate her life. She needs to generate enough cash to get this guy out of her life. I asked her why she just doesn't go out and shoot some new content which she is adverse to doing. She told me she is tired of having sex with strangers. She is considering having sex with me again and also asked me what type of content I want to do for our next shoot, which I'm still at a loss to determine. Please, does anyone have any suggestions? If not, I may just shoot her girl/girl again with some toys, foot fetish and pissing.

She is an addiction. I'm beginning to wonder whether I can afford her either! Once my face is between her legs I forget all about it though. I just wish there was something I could do to help her change her career and re-focus on her life besides monetary compensation. All I can do is give her my personal wisdom and be fortunate enough to be able to f--- and film her. Thank God I know how to make money.

I spoke with Jade again last night. Because she has no transportation of her own and has to kow tow to her ex-boyfriend to get around, she now wants to purchase her own vehicle. She has $10,000 to put down on a 2005 V6 Mustang with a list price of $21,000. She has asked me to co-sign on the lien on the car for her. I spoke with a dealer in Vegas who related that with a substantial downpayment this would reduce her monthy payments coinsiderably. The dealer also related that based on the downpayment amount she may not need someone to co-sign for her. Do you think it would be in my best interest to put myself in this position with her and co-sign? She related her gratitude in having me doing this for her would be considerable. I'm a bit nervous about putting myself in this situation and any input would be helpful.

Jade has related to me that the reason she has come to me is because her credit is not very good. I agree, with a large downpayment her monthly payments would be minimal. She has it in her mind that by having me co-sign and putting everything in her name there would be no reponsibility on my part, which we all know is ludicrous. I am going to see that if at all possible by purchasing this vehicle she would not need a co-signer as long as the downpayment is substantial. I've discussed with her about buying a used vehicle which she is not interested in. She wants this car. Eastwestcpl, I understand your thoughts about the compensation she has received for her past films. If you look at my previous posts you will read that she totalled a friends car recently, no insurance, had to pay the lien off and purchase another car for them. This essentially tapped her out. This is another reason I'm reticent to help her. If she had taken my advice months ago and started her own website she more than likely wouldn't be in this position. I am going to discuss with the dealer what amount she would need to put down and not have a co-signer and hope for the best.

Gentlemen, I have read the "tea leaves" and the concensus is NOT to co-sign on this car for Jade. I agree with all of your comments and appreciate you all taking the time to give me your input. I spoke with a dealer in Vegas yesterday. He related that when he contacts the finance company he will relate that a downpayment would be made of $10,000, the list on an 05 Mustang would be $19,165 plus tax. He told me that if he tells them that there is a co-signer available and based on the amount down they may not require someone to co-sign. I figure I will pursue this route first as I want the car and financing in Jade's name. They will forward her the application to fill out and pursue this avenue. If this doesn't work I still will not co-sign. Jade related to me that if I did do this for her she would shoot 3 hours of film with me. A girl/girl, solo masturbation, POV, and also give me 2 personals over a week's period of time. What I may do is get everything set up, have her come here for the shoot and then afterwards relate that I am unable to do this for her. I would still compensate her for her time and the shoots but feel this amount would be pale in comparison as far as what I could really get myself into.

My feeling is that the only reason Jade is even dealing with me in the first place is she knows my generosity, because I'm a fan, and wants the money. I doubt that if I wasn't a generous and compassionate person she would have anything to do with me in the first place. You know how some porn-stars are, it's all about the $$$$$. I may be better off just hiring a professional escort, save my money and forget about f---ing Jade again.

I spoke with Jade over the weekend and related to her that I would not be willing to co-sign on her new car. I did tell her that I spoke with a dealer in Vegas who would be willing to run her credit and relate to the finance company that she does have a co-signer. Based on the large downpayment she is willing to make the dealer said that by telling the finance company that there is a potential co-signer she may not need one. She does need to have her drivers license reinstated and the dealer would need a copy of it and a credit application filled out to pursue this for her. She still needs to generate more money for the downpayment and said that she would be willing to do another shoot with me etc... to increase the amount she would need.

My experience with the pornstars I have dealt with in the past is that IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY. Jade does have goals and aspirations. It's not easy to pursue them if she doesn't have transportaion. She's been in the business now for almost 5 years and really knows no other way to generate income. She dances at the Valley Ball which is almost an hour from her home. I discussed with her about dancing at clubs in her neighborhood which she isn't interested in because she would have to follow a set schedule. The Valley Ball lets her have an open schedule to dance whenever she can get there. She isn't interested in pursuing mainstream porn studios to shoot for anymore and I've even discussed with her about shooting custom videos for fans, which she is not interested in either. I know she feels that we have a rapport and that I am her friend so she will shoot with me. Look at it this way, at least she's not standing on a street corner selling her ass in LA. I know she has the foresight and the energy to pursue whatever career change she puts her mind to.

The last time at the Crazy Horse, she had her phone and purse with $1500 in cash ripped off. She has told me she has made $2000-3000 a night at the Valley Ball at times, including private dances. Even though I have f---ed Jade a few times, I am still a fan who wants to help her out. She really has a hard time trusting people. I have gained that trust over time even though we did have a major disagreement awhile back. One of her attributes is that she will agree to disagree without all the drama associated with some women. She is very direct as far as what she wants or doesn't care for. I brought up your point awhile ago about starting out with a $10K vehicle. She's not interested, she totaled a similar car in December of 2003 and this is what she wants. She's 24 and can be impatient. One thing that blows my mind is that she has no clue about how marketable she really is, especially on the web. I've discussed with her on numerous occasions about setting up her own website. I even have friends who are webdesigners and attorney's who would be more than willing to help her set up a site gratis. I've shown her the membership count on her 7 yahoo groups, over 10,000 members. Obviously there are duplicate members but you can't discount the fact there is an appeal for her. I wish her the best, hope we can see each other again and continue to be friends. Hopefully she'll get motivated.

Jade lives in Ontario, California. The reason were dealing with a dealership in Vegas is that I have a friend there who may be able to work a deal for her on the financing. I feel that the only way she will be able to survive and change her career choice is to have transportation available. She hasn't reduced herself to anything. She's the one calling the shots, believe me. It's a way's to a mean's.

I know Jade did not work from December of 03 until July of 04. It's unfortunate that the people who are making the REAL money are the production studio's. If Jade was receiving residules from all the films she shot then she would be totally set up. The actress or actor is paid for the shoot and that's it, no points on the sales. When you refer to Jenna Jameson and others who have there own studio's and production company's that is where there making the real money, the sales of the video's. I know Veronica Lynn is taking this approach and eventually will be directing and producing her own films within her own production company. Jade is not f---ing for a car, she has agreed to work with me because she knows I'm a fan and I have treated her well in the past. If she wanted to she could shoot more film or f--- these guys as "personals" which she is unwilling to do. She really does enjoy dancing which I know she is still pursuing. But I think you guys are under the impression that someone of her nature can make $100's of thousands a year shooting porn. It's all how you market yourself in the business. As I said before she is really unaware of how marketable she is. If you take a proactive approach, which obviously Jade didn't do, you have the potential to make that kind of money and set up your own production company. In her case she has picked and chosen which studio's and director's she wants to work with. Sometimes she gets "cold feet" and doesn't even show up. She has many contacts to pursue in the business but is apprehensive because she really isn't into it. Alot of these girls are so young they really have no sense how to do business, plus they can be abused physically, sexually and psychologically which leaves a bad taste in their mouths, no pun intended. They like the idea of easy money. I think in Veronica Lynn's case, she's only 21, and has alot of time left to pursue and set up her own production company and benefit from a smart business plan.

Puki, the scene you're referring to is Randy West's Up & Cummers #101 with Julian. This is another good boy/girl scene with Jade. I'm aware of her scene with TTBoy in Asian Street Hookers #29. This is a good scene but she does look a little doped up and her complexion isn't the best. I know she does have problems with acne but she does take medication to help it.
