The TS Jessy Dubai Case

[holzz]

this is literally the dumbest most idiotic thing i have read in a long long long time. holy shit. do some fans truly believe this nonsense? seriously?

Yes, i do believe it. and?

[holzz]

You're an idiot. Seriously, a fucking informed, ignorant and utter idiot.

no, it's pretty true.

[Lester316]

no, it's pretty true.

So you have two people from the industry that disagree with you... Got any evidence to support your position?

Wow.... Such a polite individual. I haven't sworn or insulted you in the slightest I simply wondered if you had some basis to have such a differing point of view from the 'people in the know' so to speak.

But carry on like that if you wish no doubt the ban hammer will follow if you talk to people that way.

[Lester316]

No. But you're an arrogant fuck, and i have no time for your asperger's-esque ramblings....haha.

Also I don't have asperger's. Plus I wouldn't use a developmental disorder as an insult type - quite a callous thing for someone to do as it shows a complete lack of respect for people who have to cope with such things in their daily life.

As an aside is referring to a film made over 30 years ago really relevant? Anyhow Harrison Ford might have only made £10,000 for his role (still crazy money to normal people) but his earnings following what was clearly a breakout performance have dwarfed that.

The real irony of it all is Guinness made so much from a role he hated and comparatively tiny amounts from roles he may have felt were more befitting of his status. Explains why Hopkins is going to be in Bay's next Transformers film though...

I wonder how many porn performers love what they do and make relatively bugger all compared to those that hate it but simply do it for the money.

The point I was making is that it might not be the money people make from Porn or Star Wars but what it is that they do with it. I knew a cam performer in the Philippines who had a boyfriend in the Middle East who sent her $1,000 every month, which is a decent income in the PI, but as most of that was spent on her family, she had little or nothing to save. Some porn stars invest their earnings, others spend it, the assumption that they and those who escort or do both, are making good money is just that, you cannot know how much someone has benefited from one job without seeing the accounts for what is a career that may not last more than 10 years.

So let me break this down for you:

1) We work in an industry where it's important to make guys desire you. Giving the impression that someone drops serious cash on you on a regular basis creates a sense of demand. There's an incentive to exaggerate the amount earned as it encourages others to spend. It also incentivizes to represent the guy's situation they are with as their own. If you're bragging about the bank you bring in.... you're probably not bringing in the bank.

2) Income like the cam model is discussing is fleeting. A high rollers interests will change over time and your income will drop like a rock. It's not sustainable income over the long run.

3) Someone else raised the issue of Luxury Items? A gift bought by someone who'd rather have a Macy's charge on their account their wife won't question.

4) Someone else raised the issue of girls who charge $1K plus per hour. That seems like a lot, but they aren't working a 40 hour week. I don't have significant insight on escorting as it's not my cup of tea, but from what I see from the girls I know do it: on average most will only see 0-1 clients a week. That's not exactly retirement money.

Are there girls who make money and squander it? Sure. But even if they didn't, they still wouldn't have a huge cash reserve to draw on.

did u say invest? i hate to tell you this but i am here to tell you that 99.9 percent of porn performers don't know what an equity account is much less have any money in it.
