Lmao...dude, tape decks aren't a dealer-offered option on one of these...you'll have to have one custom installed and that's gonna be extra.

I love satire... the English do it sooo well

[SmithXXX]

Never has an advertisement been more true...lol

[my my my!]

I had a look around the site, Stephe, I know yours is just for satire, but man there are some serious leechers on that site.

lol

I've seen other people's fundraisers ( some people, I know ) and how they use the medium and the funds afterward and that does not make me feel/look great.

I have one up now and I have finally reached my goal to get this surgery. ( Brazilian Butt Lift, Consultation June 2nd, Actual Surgery date soon after ). UNLIKE some who simply use Indiegogo or others to just get clothes, accessories, and things-that-do-not-help-them, I actually have a set goal, with a set plan, and offer very generous rewards. Yes, I had to do two campaigns to reach my goal, but it wasn't so bad. Though it could have been better. ( No help from the fake ones and the ones who misuse it )

I personally know of one who had a fundraiser, met goal ( weirdly quick ), and never used the funds for what was proposed by the campaign. And YES, this does make us (those who use it properly) look bad, or like we are getting money for nothing. For me and those like me who use it properly, THIS IS NOT THE CASE.

I personally offer generous rewards AND do what is proposed in the campaign. ( So does Jamie, who still needs some funds to get her Breast Augmentation )

My fundraiser goal IS met, but it does still have 13 days left as of today 5/19/2014. SINCE Paypal hates porn/pornstars (which is why I don't have a Paypal anymore), I do currently use it ( until it ends ) as a means of getting any extra help for the surgery AND to be able to offer generous rewards for fans. That's really my major focus of the remaining days, is to allow those who still want the rewards I offer, a chance to contribute for them. ( If you didn't know, I offer many things. Autographed photos, Skype shows, Lifetime Passes to my site www.EvaCassini.com, Custom Porn, pairs of my panties, Hand-written Thank you letters, AND my personal PHONE NUMBER :) )

As proof that I say what I mean, and I mean what I say...the photo below shows the paperwork I just got in this afternoon in the mail from my surgeons office. Showing which surgery I'll be getting, my name ( yes, now you know my real last name lol ), and the surgeons name and practice.

Hopefully you can see who is true and real, and those who misuse these crowdfunding sites making girls like myself look bad.

To check out my fundraiser, read my story, and take a look at the rewards I offer, here is the link http://igg.me/at/evacassini-contribute/x/6724353

AND YES, I will be definitely using my new booty a lot! You WILL get to see it in action, and maybe even in person, and maybe touch it, or maybe even put your cock between my new bubbly cheeks!!!

I am think of just giving you the money!

so that I can spend a whole 8 hours with you!

IT WOULD BE SWEET!

the money is not the issue. I would just have to figure out how to act.

Jaime has been trying to raise money for her boobs at least since the day I came on here, or just about...you should help her.

[EvaCassini]

Jaime has been trying to raise money for her boobs at least since the day I came on here, or just about...you should help her.

Trust me, I am trying. But I can only do so much. The reason why she's been at this for a long while is because she hardly has any contributors, those who have said they would help didn't, and what she makes really only serves to maintain living, and work trips. The same goes for me but perhaps the biggest reason why I have reached my goal and she still has a ways to go, is because I have been in the industry for 2 years and have over 22K followers on Twitter, and she has been in the industry for about 7 years with just over 6K followers.

My reach is far greater, yes, but she has much more clout and experience then I. Her site does make a bit more than mine, but no where near as much to be able to put aside anything like a Boobjob. I know for a fact that when she does get her boobjob, that she will have a lot more doors opening up for her with great opportunity. She's been stuck in this limbo far too long.

This is her fundraiser link. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/jamie-french-surgery-fund/x/4626098

She offers great rewards. I will for sure do the best I can, and maybe even include some extra gifts along with the contributors reward from Jamie. But she needs contributions first though.

[CORVETTEDUDE]

I'll help you with the Jag as soon as I finish payin' for my 2015 Corvette Z06!!

I’ve just put up my Indiegogo campaign to get me a new Jaguar F-Type!!! If you contribute between $10 and $5000 you can get a perk as exciting an email personally from me, or you can choose the colour of the car that I am going to own!!! I can actually afford a Jaguar myself (if I cut a few corners and work a bit harder) and to be honest, I don’t really need one, I’ve a perfectly beautiful 6 yr old XK which looks and drives fantastic … but it would be nice if someone did purchase me a new Jaguar, instead of having to save for it myself!


I am of course, being facetious and satirical … but there is a point to this.
It seems that every week there is a new crowd-funding campaign for some girl or another, to get something or other than she “absolutely must have”. The social networks and emails are full of them, the requests and the amounts larger and frankly, many are at the point of ridiculous. There have always been guys wanting to buy gifts for their favorite models and I can kind of see where their motivation may come from and models maintain gift lists for their fans to buy them something. I’ve also seen models ask – or let’s cut to the chase here, often akin to begging) for food outlet cards, DVD box sets and similar on Twitter and it seems to be kind of a systematic hustle, I also kind of get that and where the girls come from (hey, if their fans want to buy something for them … then go ahead).


My issue is with the so-called crowd-funding. I do understand there is certainly a time and place for it, we’ve seen models who have had surgery go wrong and unable to afford the corrections, be able to get funded to get it fixed, we’ve seen some incredible examples of crowd-funding healthcare, or worthy projects which would never have found the light of day, we’ve seen people’s lives saved or turned around by the charitable donation of others, through crowd-funding sites and the social networks. What I’m seeing more of though, is people asking for money for procedures that aren’t life threatening, for “upgrades”, for non-specific transitions, I’ve seen a girl who wasn’t barely on hormones for two months, beg for boob money! It’s gotten out of control and there are negative effects to this.


When setting up my Jaguar campaign, I wasn’t sure how the system really worked but was under the impression that a) there would be some sort of recourse and b) you had to raise the whole amount of money, to get funded. Neither of these are true. If I raised my $77,000 to get a new Jaguar, then Indiegogo would take a hefty chunk of they money for themselves (over $6000) on top of any credit card or paypay fees the sender may have to incur. That’s a lot of charity money going to a business.


There is no recourse, if I get my $77,000 I don’t have to buy a Jaguar, I can pocket the cash and never deliver what was promised in perks – Indiegogo, takes no sides. There is also no compunction to raise the full amount. If I get $250 in donations, I can keep that $250 (minus Indiegogo’s cut) and I’m that much better off in cash, even though my ego is still diminished, through not getting the Jaguar. So the donator, believing that they are contributing to a worthwhile “life-changing” cause, could be simply helping me buy another cigar or two and continue to enable my habit.


This leads me on to looking at what other damage or negative impact these crowd funders are having on our little slice of the industry. While I’ve seen it work for some girls, it’s certainly the minority who get completely funded and I’ve also watched some over the past months where it was clear the overall funding had one major contributor (so I get my ego massaged in public, while that hot sugar Mammy who wants to ride in my Jaguar with me, actually is making a $73,000 contribution). What makes one appeal more important than another (and who am I to make that decision)? Well I’m the potential guy with a little money and a big heart. I interact with girls on Facebook and when I see a crowd funding that one of them has a emergency, or needs surgery urgently then if I can, I’d like to help. So I do.


Then I find out that the problem wasn’t as urgent as thought, and I can’t ask for my money back, so I’m left feeling … duped. And the next time an urgent appeal comes through, I just don’t look.


There are just too many campaigns. Too many girls, some “claiming” to be TS models that I’ve never heard of, asking for too non-specific things. They’re asking for hand-outs, they’re begging, they’re pan-handling and yes, there may be a perk back (we’ll come to that in a moment) but is this really the same as earning the money through work, for yourself and paying for what you need, yourself? Does it contribute to the same self-worth?
We’ve been working on trying to put together a foundation for a number of years (it’s a hard job!) which would be an emergency fund for girls in our industry. A lot of the issues around it would be, who could be given money and why … as well as, how to prove the money was spent where it should have been. This is the same issue with crowdfunders which I think are undermining true charitable foundations.


In writing this, there is another issue that I’ve identified which could be more damaging to the individual than not putting a crowd funder up. I’ve seen girls put up a crowd funder, promote it, tease, tickle, beg, spam and cajole … only not to get any funding (or very little) while other girls get funded. How does that affect her self-esteem? How does that make one feel? Victimized? Disliked? The internet is a harsh place and seeing someone not get funding is just more ammunition for those who love to troll and attack. This may be where the perks come into it more (and the contributor actually makes a more informed business decision). A tgirl model offering a free DVD, photo, website membership, cam show etc. is actually offering something with a tangible value. She’s effectively offering advance payment, or a discount payment for something – and that has a different business model completely, to someone who offers like I do, a photo of me (who would want that?). When looking at the extra costs of the new Transgender Erotica Awards for this year, we may look at crowd funding by offering tickets with extra perks, merchandise, early bird VIP, etc. so we can ensure we have the budget to put the show on properly. Miss. XYZ, the new kid on the block, crowd sourcing for new boobs, doesn’t have a DVD, a site, or a cam … she’s offering the same as me, something with no tangible worth, and no delivery.

To wrap this up, I’d like to appeal to girls to think before they post a new crowd-funder or “beg” online. There are worthwhile crowd fundings and certainly if it’s an emergency, then go for it. I believe if you’ve tried every other option to raise the money for something specific, then this should be a last resort and importantly, you need to prove that’s where the money was spent. People have donated believing they’re going to help enhance your life so live up to those expectations.


Do you have beg for something trivial (do you really need that Starbucks card?) – have your gift list if you need it but don’t spam it out constantly, it dilutes your cause. A lot of things need to be earned, a lot of things take time. If I’d been given a Jaguar right out of college at 23 off a rich parent or sugar mammy (or via an Indie gogo campaign) would I have the same appreciation or the same worth? My self-esteem would have been built through working for it, saving, skimping elsewhere and getting finally getting one at 33. I still did

Jamie needs tits WAY more than you need a BBL...yours is perfectly fine as it is, obviously, since you're doing ok with the porn and you funded yourself relatively easily...you should give her the difference between what she has and what she raised, then just go raise more yourself...you could always do the 30 day squat challenge anyway.

You don't understand. The only way I can raise the money is just what I did. A fundraiser.

I can't use Paypal, camming is horrible nowadays ( mainly too busy to cam anyways), AND what I make via my site goes to rent, electricity, cable, and other various living expenses.

I do not have an ass. It is as flat as pancake. It is not because my "ass is fine now" that I got the funds. It is because of my rapport with my fans and my honesty by rewarding them quickly with generous rewards.

Jamie has made her own fundraisers. I push them as best as I can. Since Steven put this thread up yesterday, this is probably the very first time you heard that I had a fundraiser. That's because I chose not to announce and promote it here while it was going on to reach goal. I only did that on my Twitter and Facebook. I do not need the help of the wonderful Hung Angels members. Because I wouldn't get any. Why do you think Jamie is no longer on here and why do you think you hardly see me here as well? This site was fun in the beginning of my career, but it has turned into a shark tank and nowadays tgirls are bleeding.

You clearly do not understand my situation, Jamie's situation, and many other tgirl's situations, LET ALONE being "transgender" with your "yours is perfectly fine as it is, obviously," remark. If YOU honestly think Jamie needs tits WAY more than I need a BBL, why don't you contribute to her fundraiser? I gave the link.

If you contribute to her fundraiser, SHE WILL REWARD YOU. This is NOT money for nothing. You get a generous reward, that you would not have the opportunity to get otherwise. I've even upped-the-ante by offering my own gifts along with the one a contributor would receive from her.

Oh, by the way, she would not ever ask me for the money I've raised. She would refuse if I ever brought it up as well. She knows why she wouldn't. She knows that I gave a lot for the money I've raised, AND would it not be a disservice to myself and my fans to SAY I am going to get a BBL, then NOT get it? I do believe that is a huge reason why Steven made this thread in the first place.

[Michelle Firestone]

Btw my friends told me to tell you if you asked for a XJ220 (w/e that is!) they would've sent you $50 whether you were serious or not.

This AND the other factors, like a tgirl who raised all her money but didn't do the surgery - and the other tgirl who started a fundraiser even though she'd pissed off so many people and ... well, it's the system that I think is at fault. Fundraisers should have some sort of conditions attached.

[nysprod]

It's funny how wording and psychology play a role in this...when you call it "fundraising" it brings to mind a charitable endeavor and taps into people's urge to give (even if there is a "reward" involved) whereas if you just try to sell clips, access, etc for a price you are simply a merchant competing with all those other forms of entertainment for the consumer's $$.

Bottom line is there really is no difference except for the presentation, it's all marketing.

It's also interesting when person trying to raise the funds has to go thru one of these fundraising sites and pay them a cut, especially when all the contributors come from their own fb/twitter/whatever...I guess doing it on one of these sites makes it look more like fundraising.

The whole idea of a fundraiser site has to be the brainchild of some stoner nerds who were sitting around their dorm one night anyway...it's like Pinterest, which is supposed to be worth billions now...it's a bulletin board, nothing more, nothing less, we had them in 4th grade, kids would pin pics of their pets or whatever on it.

[TSMichelleAustin]

As for someone who has tried fundraising and never succeeded and it probaly has a lot to do with i hate begging people. SO I dont promote it much, I give girls props who do. But as for me my first fund raiser I ever did was a year ago for an actual emergency but got 50 bucks from a high school friend and that was it. I recently threw one up as a joke since I knew I would never get money for it, its my Move to NYC fundraiser... and actually got 70 bucks so far! YAH! LOL

First time I tried, was because its serious and one day I will have to address it. I have silicon injections in my breast (I know many guys love the way my breast look, as do I. But this is a serious issue that if not soon but later need to address.). I was a young girl transitioning and got pumped in the southside of chicago in an apartment by a guy multiple times. I wanted boobs so bad, its kinda like my SRS, thats what I always wanted. I did the unsafe route. I have pain in my chest a lot, and sometimes it hurts, and its signs from the silicon. I have found a guy who has done a few girls I knows removal in Mexico. He is really good, but basically I would be having a mastectomy then, implants to get rid of silicon.

I really dont make a lot of money and I work my ass off. Even a 3 years ago I was homeless. I have never really asked or wanted anything from anyone. I have always been one to work my way to top. I am not the biggest name in porn, I am not the lucky girls like Sienna Grace who can throw up a fundraiser and make more than she is asking for. So I stopped trying. I think its great someone like Eva can make all her surgery money for a butt lift. But I think Steven has a point here, there are girls who really need things. And either dont ask or dont try. Or they dont have the following like Eva or Sienna have. Case in point Jamie is still trying to get boobs.

There will be a day I am rushed to hospital and I hope to God, not anytime soon, where my bad choices as a young trans woman will affect the rest of my life. Thanks to Obamacare just last week went to the doctor for the first time in 6 years. Im not asking for pitty but it sad to see that when girls like myself, or even girls who have it way worst than me, cant get help, but a girl who wants a butt lift can! Or a girl who wants boobs but never gets them almost a year after her fundraiser. I am so glad nothing was ever handed to me and I have worked my ass off in this business, and in my life to get where I am today. But sometimes u really look at urself in the mirror and you think WHAT AM I DOING WRONG? What does that girl have I dont? In this business that can fuck with many people. I am not everyones favorite porn star, or girl to look at. I get that! But I am happy I get to do my porn career my way.

With that said, I love what Steven wrote, and is doing. I think more girls need to take a step back and digest what he is saying. I think to many girls are too far into themselves to see the big picture!!!

Personally, i find these things, distasteful! :shrug

That's just because your attempt to get new tits for your favourite sheep failed miserably.

And put you in Parkhurst. :whistle:

The OBAMA administration changed the SECURITY EXCHANGE LAWS as part of a JOBS BILL.

not doing what you are suppose to with the money is a SECURITY EXCHANGE VIOLATION. its a federal offense

I used a private offering memorandum under regulation "D" TO START MY BUSINESS AT A GREAT EXPENSE.

I raised 2.75 million

550 membership units sold for $5k

IT WAS MUCH MORE DIFFICULT BEFORE crowd funding.



This AND the other factors, like a tgirl who raised all her money but didn't do the surgery - and the other tgirl who started a fundraiser even though she'd pissed off so many people and ... well, it's the system that I think is at fault. Fundraisers should have some sort of conditions attached.


It's funny how wording and psychology play a role in this...when you call it "fundraising" it brings to mind a charitable endeavor and taps into people's urge to give (even if there is a "reward" involved) whereas if you just try to sell clips, access, etc for a price you are simply a merchant competing with all those other forms of entertainment for the consumer's $$.

Bottom line is there really is no difference except for the presentation, it's all marketing.

It's also interesting when person trying to raise the funds has to go thru one of these fundraising sites and pay them a cut, especially when all the contributors come from their own fb/twitter/whatever...I guess doing it on one of these sites makes it look more like fundraising.

The whole idea of a fundraiser site has to be the brainchild of some stoner nerds who were sitting around their dorm one night anyway...it's like Pinterest, which is supposed to be worth billions now...it's a bulletin board, nothing more, nothing less, we had them in 4th grade, kids would pin pics of their pets or whatever on it.

I do not need the help of the wonderful Hung Angels members. Because I wouldn't get any. Why do you think Jamie is no longer on here and why do you think you hardly see me here as well? This site was fun in the beginning of my career, but it has turned into a shark tank and nowadays tgirls are bleeding.

this makes it sound like the reason you were here was to get financial help, and now that you can't, you're no longer here.

Bluesoul.....Wrong. You really must not have been paying any attention why I am hardly here.

I've been on here for 2 years. I started my fundraiser about 2 months ago and never mentioned it here until yesterday, about a week after I met my goal, only because Steven made this thread. I have no need to ask for help here.

The reason I am hardly on here is because of people like you. You blatantly shown above why. No one listens. Lots of ignorance from many and a dash of arrogance from some.

You've been here since 2008 Bluesoul, please, pray tell why most models either are hardly here or not at all? You know why. And it's not because of "failed attempts of girls asking for money". Don't play coy Bluesoul.
