Lol, fair enough....
I see Christina has gotten too old for your avatar...time to move on to the young stuff huh?!
I like Ke$ha, but she's no CA that's for sure.

I thought it was funny, been doing it long enough to know better when someone says something ridiculous like that. I'm clearly a 5.
Are you the same D_jologs that is on my twitter? It's so hard to keep people sorted out sometimes!

Lol no not really, like I said, Christina does not seem to age somehow. Glorious beauty still, and I D-E-F-I-N-I-T-E-L-Y still worship her
! But sigs seem to have longer life in my account than avatars.Ke$ha somehow really attracts me, was a bit of an obsession somewhat less then a year ago and she still has got her claws in me it seems
.But hey, no Christina, that is true........

I'm making decent money now, but making enough to have ot support me in the long run is where my goal is at, and I think i will be able to do that. I make the majority of my money from making the custom videos for a fee, and then the re-sale off of Clips4sale and Kinkbomb. The 2 of them combined generate about half of my income, and everything else (about 9 different sources including the website) make the other half.
Fascinating!Years ago, I was chatting up the semi-retired-pornstar girlfriend of one of my acquaintances from film school. Even then, I was interested in the nuts-and-bolts of showbiz economics. So I inquired about her experience relative to that issue -- specifically how one does porn, tries to control one's image (particularly in the era of the internet and widespread piracy of intellectual property) and keep one's eye on the bottom line, making sure that a profit is turned. It was a conversation that I really enjoyed and wished could've gone on longer. However, I sensed her boyfriend's eyes burning a whole in the back of my skull -- and he and I had never been best buds, just classmates -- so I excused myself and went on my way.
One of the differences between then and now, though, is that she was still dealing with the big producers, like Vivid and Wicked, whereas you seem to have effectively worked something out based upon an entirely new, no-middleman/bottom-up/do-it-yourself business model. I must confess that I presently have only the fainted hint of the fullness of this model, after my interest was piqued by your mention of this Slave Ray gentleman and the backstory of his 700 bucks in that YouTube clip you posted. (BTW, I love your Goth look in your recently posted content! Very sexy. :thumbsup: )
At any rate, I'm glad that you're able to make money doing this, and I hope that your profit margins continue to grow. Moreover, if I've read this thread correctly, your boyfriend is serving as your videographer and occasional co-star. If accurate, I hope that situation continues, as showbiz can be a crazy gig and it's good to have people around whom you know you can trust.
Lastly, as others here have advised, don't pay any attention to the trolls on YouTube. I've seen some of the dumbest, most vitriolic stuff posted there, making the comments section at Ain'tItCoolNews seem edifying by comparison.But I am intrigued by your presence there. Doesn't YouTube have a pretty quick censorial hook? Or are you there simply to offer snippets of what can be found on your website in order to drive traffic to your site?

What did I get docked the .5 for? Are my boobs too big?! lol Saw your FF tweet tonight, I think I retweeted it and followed a couple of them that I wasn't.

A few years back, before I had decided to even show my coochie yet....I was thinking of just going NN and doing the solo girl site thing. I started looking at what porn "stars" were making annually and it wasn't pretty. Not only are any of these girls lucky to get over $100,000 a year, they only get it for 3-5 years tops on average. They start out all sweet and innocent but by the end of their first year they have been plastered EVERYWHERE by their new owners. Soon, unless she is especially pretty, nobody wants to see her do just regular B/G or G/G, it has to get more and more extreme or production companies give them the "seen it already" line. By the time girls get to the end of year 2 a lot of them are strung out on ***** and getting 2 cocks in their asses or they won't get a paycheck. Finally, people just aren't buying their videos anymore, everyone has already seen them do everything and the next "it" girl has shown up at her production company. She has to take her tired assed looking fake eyelashes and try to go back to school because she signed away all her rights to the material she has made...her BEST material.. so no residuals, no nothing, and no one getting excited about finding her anymore. She can't even web cam much because she looks so tired compared to what she looks like in her pornos.
Blah blah blah, I'm really rambling here...let's just say I decided no body was going to make money off of me except me, and if I end up getting plastered over hundreds of websites it'll be because I'm doing it.
I wanna be a Cowboy so Mandy can ride me Cowgirl! BY the way - leave ON the boots and hat - that is sexy and while full nude is great every now and then to change things up leaving some attire on makes it even better - and a hat and boots does the trick. There is little that feels better than missionary with her legs in stockings on either side of your chest and the incredible feeling of her sexy stockings rubbing against a guys chest. Very underrated as far as how sexy that is
As for taking control of your career and content - you are wise far beyond your years. You are right about women being strung out on ***** and getting chump change for their work when working for someone else. Oprah owned and controlled her content and that worked out rather well
Just tweeted you the reason for the deduction. Yummy photo, Mandy! Thanks for retweeting!
Great photo :drool2:

Mmm..., Cowgirl Mandy :drool2:

Smart girl. I know you've done well so far, Mandy, and I hope it keeps working well for you.
Yeah, well said my dear. Maybe it's because of my age, but I really don't like a lot of the new porn. The girls don't seem to enjoy it, and it's a lot rougher and scarier than it used to be. Whatever happened to a decent story, with lines and stuff? What's a horny guy to do? I know - buy videos from Mandy Flores. Problem solved..

No, you weren't rambling at all. In fact, you have summed up many different issues that negatively effect most women who work in porn, and you've done it in just a couple handful of sentences.A few years back, before I had decided to even show my coochie yet....I was thinking of just going NN and doing the solo girl site thing.

Bravo! :goodpost:
I know I'm probably driving some folks crazy with these sorts of questions to you, and I don't mean to "hijack" this thread. However, as I said earlier, I've long found this topic fascinating. Moreover, I find it very heartening to discover that you went into this endeavor with open eyes and a plan for success, a plan that would allow you to control the intellectual-property rights (i.e. the money that flows from those rights) to your images rather than some shady third-party. I don't know if you've ever taken any business classes before, but you come across as someone who could deliver a very informative lecture on your enterprise before, say, a business-administration class.

I had a boss, he had hired me because an ex-boyfriend of mine was assistant manager and knew I needed a job so he had asked him to hire me. Well the ex-boyfriend got fired because he was a dumb-ass. When that happened I just naturally started taking care of the things that weren't getting done that I knew how to take care of (retail) Well next thing you know the boss comes up to me and apologizes that he had paid my ex more for the same job, and that he didn't think that I'd be able to do it as well, and that in fact I was doing it BETTER! So he almost doubled my pay, more than my ex was making, and started teaching me all of the operating, gross margins, ordering and inventory control. He said that of all the managers and assistants he had worKed with over the years he had never seen someone pick it up so fast and do so well at it. He actually worked with me on my schedule to make what i do now possible, and gave me quite a bit of advice.

Yea!!! :nanner:
Hello Miss Mandy, just thought I'd show my face. :wave: Spreading the good word via replies to PMs saying "who is the babe in your avatar?" Thankfully the ones telling me they want to fuck me have stopped now that I'm just "Mr_" and people know the avatar isn't me. Well, they still come from maley, but that's a different problem.
Just three quick thoughts :
1) Goth look is amazing on you. I would say that as it's one of my passions, but it looks wonderful on you.
2) Rocking the stockings. O..M...G.
3) I'm still torn as to which video to buy next, but I'll let you know once I've purchased. :wallet:
TTFN :lovebunny:
