Another One Bites The Dust! Kim Bella Retired From Porn!
I was randomly surprised to see this just pop up on Twitter. Kim Bella said she retired from porn. This really sucks because she barely has any hardcore content. People thought she was going to be huge. However, she hit the road like Jane Marie. https://twitter.com/BeautifullVega/s...10238892359680

Re: Another One Bites The Dust! Kim Bella Retired From Porn!
Who wants to be known as a porn star for the rest of their lives?
They all wash up eventually at some point anyway.
Better to get out sooner than later.

Hope she still bites the pillow IRL as I'm scouring the Backpage.

Yeah, that's fuckin' scary. She looks like a leather saddlebag. She's gonna have a nice case of skin cancer down the road.

It's tough out there for a bitch. Kim's a beautiful girl with a big heart, though. I'm sure it'll be onward and upward for her.

She probably found some captain save a ho, if so, who knows how long that will last, she might be back.

I wouldn't call him Captain Save-a-Ho; he seems to be a pretty cool guy.
She had actually retired awhile back; she's focused on getting SRS. Pretty sure she'll still make appearances here and there though.

Meh. Porn is a tough gig. Shooting is fun and easy, though often tiring physically, as is fan interaction and promotion -- you mean everyone tells me how beautiful I am just for trying to promote my content? AWESOME! -- but realizing you make your living through sex isn't exactly easy. Yeah, fuck society, who cares about obsolete sexual mores, etc. but it's still a tough position to be in when you're the one living it. Likewise, you have this niggling worry in the back of your mind that the longer you stay in sex work, the harder it's going to be to ever get out. I'm almost certainly in this for the long haul, but it would be a lie to say I haven't wondered/worried whether I'm making the right choice, and I certainly won't ever blame a girl for getting out early, even if she is hot and didn't shoot many hardcores. :)

Re: Another One Bites The Dust! Kim Bella Retired From Porn!
niggling...hehehe thats a cute funny word. :)
I love my job. Best job out of all the ones I have held. ;)

Re: Another One Bites The Dust! Kim Bella Retired From Porn!
let's be honest. if you take the average TS and you add up her yearly salary - filming is going to be about 10-20 percent at most and escorting makes up the rest.
That being said, it doesn't take a genius to know that the more films you do, the more fans and people know who you are and ostensibly want to book you for a private.
Additionally, LA is a city that has a very high cost of living AND there are probably more TS and more beautiful TS than any other city in the US besides maybe NYC. Which means stiff competition for privates.
So 80-90 percent of TS girls that are in porn don't live in Los Angeles. So you have to add the expense of getting to LA, staying in LA, in order to film.
Kim Bella is a perfect 10. Flawless and beautiful. She lives in Texas not exactly right next to California. She knows the math. She knows that traveling to LA to do porn isn't exactly fun. She has enough movies and pictures out there on the internet to make her insanely popular to men who have a fantasy about being with a TS and have the money to pay to make that fantasy a reality.
Surely after reading this, you can understand why many girls don't stick around in porn.
All that being said, I think everyone should have a much greater respect for the Jamie French, Foxxy, Wendy Williams, Vaniity, and a few others who have the endurance to keep doing scenes, privates, their own sites, webcam, and make a living working hard through multiple revenue streams for years.

She was in NJ a few weeks ago near the airport after she appeared at Tranny Strip...a friend of mine scored her for $200.

Great insight! Don't some companies pay for travel expenses?
How many scenes and pictures are considered enough to become famous?

I think that varies from model to model. Jane Marie doing one set was enough to get guys talking about her. Other folks it takes a while until someone says, "damn - she's fine".
Basically the secret is being seen. Not every guy is going to like every model. But the sweet spot is when enough guys that dig the model become aware of her.

i know quite a few girls that have "retired" from sex work to either go to school or just work a normal job.
also i think its wrong to refer to the girls in this industry as hos

Re: Another One Bites The Dust! Kim Bella Retired From Porn!
I wouldn't be surprised if she came back. Girls have done it before.:)

WOW not sure Ive ever heard you say a nice word to me unless I was gagging or riding your cock (LOL jk)........
You are right unless you are willing to stretch yourself thin across MANY venues then its hard to keep doing this job. Also its just not possible to be a full time "pornstar"... you have to be an affiliate, camming, some escort not all, blogger, etcc......
After 11 years Im getting to the retiring from on screen stuff point but I love doing the PR, camming and occasional escorting!

Re: Another One Bites The Dust! Kim Bella Retired From Porn!
As long as tacos cost money, I'll do porn. Those things don't buy themselves.

guess kink decided there's a big demand for aggressive top girls only and ran with it. so far seems to have paid off big time.

I wonder how long is the average career expectancy of a tgirl pornstar.
especially the ones that are NOT mega-stars like yasmin lee, vanity
eva lin,etc.

IMO thats a very deep complex answer tbh. its not simple, many many many factors. Lets use me for example ,the simmple fact ive been round since aug 2005 till present day jan 2014nearlylol) .. and I am just little old me.. and here i am, thinking more along the lines of when i should end my career, not when it will end or i will be pushed to end it.

Re: Another One Bites The Dust! Kim Bella Retired From Porn!
I've been around going on 8 years now and I'm still largely a nobody... though, when you're as hands on as I am in this business you find that porn morphs into all sorts of other outlets so there's always something new to do and porn itself just kinda becomes a catalyst for a whole host of other opportunities and experiences. I couldn't retire from porn any more than I could retire from driving a car... it's total utility for someone like me, not a means to and end or an end in and of itself. For me, It's a completely lateral concept apart from ends and means.
