A sincere thank you to those fans who spent one of their three votes on me in the final round. Somehow, you pushed me up into that third place slot, and that's pretty amazing.
I am still deciding whether I care to enter or not next year ...
the good news is, it looks like I might be receiving a small bit of settlement moolah from Manwin/Brazzers, who stole my personal photo (without my permission, obvs) to use in some very insulting and reductive advertisements for one of their "adult dating" websites. If that falls into place it will help me buy some of the gear I need to continue creating and expanding my own productions.
But... but... we still want you to enter the contest - you're awesome :dontgo:
Why in the name of Kobol do they even have the "need" to steal pictures??? :wtf: With all the tons and tons of images and material in their archives - to which they own the copyright, do they need to go around trolling the interweb and stealing other peoples photos??? :troll2: I'm seriously doubting the managing competence of whoever is in charge over there. In the long run it seems like they're really trying to bring that company down.

When Andi came third last year, in Best Adult Model, she had been in first spot throughout the second round for all but 3-4 hours of that week's voting; it was looking good for her. That was despite her fans being at a disadvantage of not having the points value that some others had. Many this year did the same as I did, not bother voting until the last round, when the votes became important. I know that it true. Andi was also encouraging her fans NOT to vote for her in the OCSM category, saying there were others much more deserving than her to win that. Indeed she has also been asking her fans to use their spare votes for others in the same category she was competing, for Brianna, for Lucy and others, on her blog, and on twitter. This would have hurt her chances of winning greatly. Andi has been around since 2005, previously as Andi Pink, and runs her own solo program all by herself, I can't think of anyone more deserving, or honest, to receive the recognition of Best Adult Model, despite you knowing for certain you have never seen a post for her.

Well, judging from the fact that they own several piracy (excuse me, "tube") sites where content from other non-Manwin-owned sites constantly shows up, um, I think they're pretty well-rehearsed in the art of stealing. I can't figure out why more performers don't care about this, lol. Just read the wikipedia page on Manwin. They have more money than God, and the way the business operates seems immoral to me, but hey, there's not much room to argue in favor of morality in the real world in general, let alone the porn world.
Nah, it just means they're secretly Russian and their money is already in cash somewhere in Syberia.Hmmm Finances of Manwin, including the corporations bank accounts, computers are controlled by a subsidiary company in Cyprus
That might not be so good for them at the moment then

Nope, seems like they're secretly Germans: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...ing-detained-on-suspicion-of-tax-evasion.html
Oh, it's no big mystery how standings can possibly change from Rounds 1 & 2 to the standings at the end of the contest. Remember, the number of votes we are allotted changes from 10 in Round 1 ... to 5 in Round 2 ... to 3 in Round 3. So, of course, voting strategy changes drastically throughout the contest. So, easily, contestants who were leading in Rounds 1 & 2 can fall behind in Round 3 and vice versa.cindy CD/TV said:3. For Best Adult Model ... where did Andi Land come from!? Are we to believe that she is that popular on FO? Really? Now, I know for certain I have never seen a post from her. Throughout the contest, this category was clearly a two-way race between Brianna Lee and Xo Gisele. There's no way ANYONE else sprints ahead of them down the home stretch. No way.
I won't speculate on the HOW or the WHO here. But the results defy logic.
