Hi Luke,
I just read your post about Audrey Bitoni escorting for the Eros Agency. You mentioned that the news was "shocking" — Not sure if you were being facetious when you said "call me naive, but I’ve always preferred to regard porn stars as actresses rather than as hookers."
A reader named Moxie even commented: "With a slowdown rumored, it will be shocking if any porn girls aren’t secretly escorting this summer."
Well, apparently Moxie was right.
Did a quick look at Bella Models this morning and was surprised to find several newer, young stars listed there — Including Audrey Bitoni, Richelle Ryan, and Veronique Vega who is listed for sale at $1,500 per hour. According to her agency website (Goldstar), Veronique Vega is only 19 years old.
I also found Aarielle Alexis (who is only 20) listed for sale on Eros Guide.
I understand that when older porn stars are "shot out", they often sink into the world of prostitution, usually because they’ve painted themselves into a corner and are trying to keep up with an expensive lifestyle. But the young girls like Audrey Bitoni and Veronique Vega? I can only guess they’re either desperate financially — or mentally.
My main question is, I wonder how their State-Licensed Talent Agents feel about this? Hooking clearly pushes the envelope when it comes to legalities:
California Code of Regulations, Title 8 Division 2. Employment Regulation and Supervision Part 6. Chapter 4. 1700.35 "Persons of Bad Character"
No talent agency shall knowingly permit any persons of bad character, prostitutes, gamblers, intoxicated persons, or procurers to frequent, or be employed in, the place of business or talent agency.
I asked Aarielle Alexis about this. She said she hadn’t done any escorting since entering porn and had asked that that page on her on Eros-LA.com be taken down.
Jack emails: "Surely you know that hooking & porn have a very long 2-way history. Even relative big stars like Janine Lindemulder, Julia Ann Tavella & "Tori Welles" [the latter 2 confirmed same to me without even my asking] escorted b4 they did porn, "Nina Hartley" gave me a very quizzical answer on that topic, her gf "Porsche Lynn" 98% almost came out & said so, and your supposed quasi ex-gf Kendra just gave Howard Stern a winky look & no answer when he asked. When you have a huge majority of XXX "actresses" with drug issues, mental health & PTSD issues & pimps & worse in a biz heavily infiltrated by numerous shady enterprises & a multitude of key actors with convictions & past jail time, what would you expect? Plus, if you would go inside of any of the parties you supposedly cover & talk to anyone inside you would trip over escort hangers on wannabe pornstars & the biz guys scoping them out as prospects. And no matter the relative youth & beauty of the names you drop, if they have drug problems, pimps & seriously messed up heads, escorting represents their least issue…"
Dick Fitz emails:
Luke, I laughed out loud when I read that response from Aarielle Alexis.
First off, porn stars who escort is a difficult subject to begin with. Most porn girls do privates on the side, whether they do it through an agency or on their own. And 99% of them who do it will deny it when asked. Why? In some lame attempt to save face, I suppose. They see porn as "glamorous" and escorting is "shameful." They are proud of their DVD box covers and AVN Awards, but they don’t want friends, boyfriends, or family members knowing that they hook.
Therefore, they will do these privates secretly. (They prefer to call them "privates" because, let’s face it — "prostitution" is an ugly word.) They will sneak-off and disappear — sometimes for days — and tell the people close to them that they are "shooting" or "taking some time off" or they will make up some other lame excuse. They can be very crafty and manipulative. When caught, they will tell you that the escort websites posted their pics "without their permission".
However, it makes no sense for these sites to do this. Using pictures of a girl they don’t have will only lose them valuable clients. If you were running a high-ticket escort agency, would you put up a listing for a girl you don’t have and risk losing clients to the competition? Would you put up a listing for a girl you had never met face-to-face and discussed business with?
No, you wouldn’t. And I don’t think these guys have done it either. Sites like Bella Models are known to be ‘legit’ — Not some typical ‘bait and switch’ scam, but rather ‘what you see is what you get.’
In the case of Veronique Vega, I believe the only thing Bella Models could be guilty of is illegally lifting her photos from Goldstar Modeling. However — I seriously doubt they went out and stole the images. More likely, they were provided by the person in question.
Veronique Vega emails: "I never have never worked with bella models and never will. those pictures were posted without my consent. quite illegal actually.. for an organization to claim i’m for sale by the hour. i’ve changed my number twice because of it. amazing. its quite a change of scenario when you take a camera away. i’m only speaking for myself. you either get that idea or you don’t. As far as bella models is concerned, i have twice emailed them to take those pictures down.. escorting is not my deal."
Bella responds: "I have an employment application on file from her. I haven’t heard from her but I’ll gladly remove her."
I always supected that the real problem with porn girls escorting was protecting the asses of their managers/pimps and pornographers that their reputation.
Desperate mentally and financialy in that order. My opinion.
Will LA Direct and Bellamodels comply with that Cali regulations? Will Cali ever enforce it?
hey ric que tal bro look carmella bing’s rant when she left LA direct for 1st time
“Dont you have enough to worry about? Like the girls you bring in to the United States who dont pay taxes and work illegally? Or that time you sent me to Hong Kong to do a private not knowing that it was a private? Isnt that called PIMPING and PANDERING? Oh, what is that you say? Its called human trafficing? Huh. Well whatever it is this LUKE IS BACK.com s— is rediculous. Derek says, he dumped me – not true, I left. And that I flaked out on my feature causing lost revenue – well if a tree fell in the middle of the woods and no one was there to hear it would it have make a sound? Well im sure it would but no one really gives a f— do they? So my point being exactly that… Derek go out to the woods and blow off all the steam you want, cause nobody really gives a f—! Thank you for your interest in my post, pass it on to a friend, the feds, fbi, the irs, or anyone who needs a reason to kick this pencil dick in the face! Id really appriciate it.”
LA Direct have “good friends” i think he was untouchable(less for TTboy when it tumble to the floor of a slap and start to request mercy in Las Vegas)
another girl who i saw scorting in that eros-la.com website was Sarah Blake, the new Belladonna exclusie girl
“sink into the world of prostitution?” What kind of dope do you have to be on to think that being paid to have sex with a camera present is any different than being paid to have sex without a camera present? All porn actresses *are* prostitutes. There is nothing wrong with that. It is not a disparaging statement. It is just an acknowledgement of reality.
I’ve found that people who live in the aforementioned state of denial primarily fall into two categories; female performers trying to assuage guilt due to societal brainwashing, and male performers (who are really nothing more than stage props) having their egos hurt by individuals outside the industry having sex with “their” women.
LOL This topic always makes me laugh. Porn actresses ARE hookers. They are prostitutes. The only difference is between them and 70% of the girls on Eros is the fact that the majority of girls on Eros can lead a straight life ’cause they don’t show their faces. And you “asked Aarielle Alexis about this. She said she hadn‚Äôt done any escorting since entering porn and had asked that that page on her on Eros-LA.com be taken down.” Well, I can tell you that they don’t just put your page up on Eros. If your photos are up there, it’s because you paid for them to be up there. The majority of these girls aren’t “getting their pics stolen” by Bella Models/Nicci’s Girls, Body Miracle, etc. It’s as you said. The photos are up there because they are hooking.
And while we’re at it, what’s up with these deluded chicks who think they’re somehow different and better than a call girl because they take double anal on film? Is it just the drugs, or are they really that out of touch?
As far as the California legalities, a licensed talent agency cannot be held responsible for what their talent does outside of the agency relationship. If I have signed a girl to represent her in the adult industry and she signs with Bella Models to escort, I have no control over that. The law says that I cannot allow her to hang out in my office and I cannot employ her, neither of ehich I would be doing. I don’t endorse porn girls escorting, but I don’t think my opinion is going to change the fact that it happens. BTW, there are a lot of housewifes escorting too!
A porn star is a porn star and a hooker is a hooker. They are different although maybe by just a small degree or two. As we all know, porn stars get paid to have sex on film for money while hookers just have sex for money.
Besides the camera being present, an actual asset is produced from the transaction rather than just sexual climax being the purpose of the transaction.
Another big distinction is that the money used to pay for the sex act doesn’t generally come directly from the individual recieving the sex.
While this is not always the rule it’s generally the case.
Oh Drew you don’t know what the hell your saying, keep smoking crack bitch. Who the fuck is even fucking on camera anymore, nobody its dead as a doornail, cheap pigs.
Dew, thats bullshit and you know it.
Fucking for money makes you a ho. A camera does not magically cleanses the act.
What you are saying is BS designed to protect pornographers under First Amendement ground and brainwash newcomers into thinking they can crossover to the mainstream when they only cossover they are going to make is into others form of in call or outcall prostitution. Porn girl are prostitutes. Period. I a lawyer and I know legalese bullshit when I heard it.
El G, buena esa pana, me caguè de la risa. Is LAPD on the take?
ric enviame por email tu msn pa chismiar un rato

Funny, she has an ad out today on Craigslist offering herself for sale.
Under her name, with pics.
