Don't get me wrong I have nothing against her, and I hope it works out for her, but her going hardcore would have been a historically notable moment in the industry,...if it happened 15 or 20 years ago. She would of had a good chance of being one of greatest pornstars ever, but she waited way too long.
The whole Playmate going hardcore thing also probably doesn't have the effect it would have back then as not as many people really care anymore about stuff like that.
Like you say, Hugh Hefner is long gone. So yes, it doesn't really matter. Now who was the first Playmate that went hardcore while Hefner was alive?
Teri Weigel maybe? Again not a big thing now. But back then yes it was.
And as for Brazzers, with the way they've been the last two and a half years? By not hiring good photographers -- they can't do
Victoria Zdrok any justice by having the Brazzers staff create photo galleries in "OnlyFans" style. With video screencaps and cell phones as "the photos" in POV viewing; my meaning with girls' heads cut off, and their bodies out of focus, and including all the bad shots in the gallery that any good photographer would discard onto the cutting room floor while editing. These "photo galleries" would make anyone who is a new member like
@lawp1020 feel very cheated.
We saw the same thing happen when
Tommie Jo went hardcore. With the exception that
Tommie Jo had nice photos as they were hiring photographers back then.
