HI everyone,

I thought I would make a post. The US PTO now recognizes "Eve Laurence" as a registered Trademark. I am going through some legal matters and have decided to do a marketing stand still until I feel comfortable marketing myself knowing that all of my hard work is driving traffic to my projects and not someone else's.

I will say that I am working on my first feature film to be shot this fall and released early winter before the years end... I am also planning a feature dance tour. I enjoy reading the constructive criticism after I am away for a while. It allows me to gauge the energy of the masses.

As for shooting for other companies I am sorry to say that for the time being this is OUT of the question. I know easily right now that if I was to shoot for a corporate internet company that they would make 60-100k off of me by the years end and they would pay me what $2k? When you sit back and do the math it doesn't make sense. As a performer I am over this pay-per-scene BS. And I am damned if anyone is going to get me with the timeless "You are Shot Out" gimmick to try and get me to do scenes I am not comfortable with. . .

I am on my own schedule. I am making choices that are best for me and my fans. This industry is always in a big hurry--make that quick money--think for today. That isn't me.

Thank you, Eve, for being so intelligent and frank with us. From my own perspective at least, it sounds like you're definitely doing the right thing and I applaud your efforts. Now where did I leave that ballot for the "World's Sexiest Small-Business Owner" voting ....

Eve,

What is the "You are Shot Out" gimmick?

Also, it seems like if management companies like LA Direct and such would simply tell porn companies that they can't use their girls unless they get a share of the profits, then you girls could really start to get your fair share. And it would be in your management's best interest since they would presumably get a percentage of that extra income as well.

Basically, I think pornstars need a union (from yours & other pornstars complaints, i'm guessing there isn't one currently). This would be easy to do if some of the larger management companies would simply band together for their mutual benefit. Otherwise, these companies don't really seem to have much of a longterm plan for you girls.
 
She is just so damn pretty and sexy! I want to have sex with her more than anyone! Damn she is so freakin' hot! We love you, Eve!

Actually, really popular girls in the industry can make upwards of around $20K/month, if not more, by shooting for internet companies.

Yes, because corporate interests are ALWAYS doing what is right and looking out for the rights of workers instead maximizing greed and profits.

I think Eve might know a tad more about the biz. Her point is correct in that a gal is much better off controlling her own content and making money off it than she would be to rely on a middle man.

Maybe not because it doesn't take much to know how to make money in the industry, it's just a matter planning out ones career.

And obviously a woman is better off controlling her own content.

But the main problem with that strategy is that those women in the industry who do that, and they are very few in number, sacrifice popularity and income for total control.

Which is why I suppose Eve has decided to do feature dancing, because she knows that by not working for any of the big named internet and dvd production companies she loses out on potential income, so it has to be made up somewhere else.
