Well faithful readers, 2010 has bit the dust and 2011 is upon us. Last year was the greatest year financially in my life, but emotionally, physically, mentally, and relationship-wise, it was a roller coaster from start to finish.
I performed in 160 scenes in 2010 and produced 294 content scenes for Naughty America. This is down from 162 scenes performed in 2009 but up from 268 content scenes. My relationship with Naughty America went through a major upheaval as well. My good friend Laura left the company in February, two new guys were installed in her place, and I had to start over forging my place in the content producer heirarchy there.
Professionally speaking, 2010 was a fantastic year for me. Many of the scenes I produced were very well received by the Naughty America fanbase, and I was able to shoot scenes in Argentina (Esperanza Gomez), England (Daniella Aire, Brooke Jameson, Emma Butt, Valentina Cruz), Florida (Samantha 38g, Tara Holiday, Cameron Keys), Las Vegas (Persia Monir, Holly Halston, the 3 huge boob MILFS), and of course Porn Valley. I introduced the NA fanbase to many new and popular girls, including Tarra White, Ava Addams, Monica Santhiago, Tasha Reign, Farrah, Olivia, Cindy Pucci, Lizz Tayler, Angel Dark, Lexi Diamond, Blake Rose, Yurizan Beltran, April O'Neil, Loni Evans, Kourtney Kane, Shay Fox, Alison Tyler, Samantha Ryan, Karen Fisher, Jynx Maze, Chanel Preston, Nikita Denise, Gia Dimarco, Alia Janine, Samantha 38g, Dayna Vendetta, and Ash Hollywood.
I also introduced the concept of 4 girls on 1 guy magnum opus scenes to Naughty America. The laundromat scene with Gracie Glam, Lexi Belle, Breanne Benson, and Bobbi Starr was the first, followed by the Volleyball scene with Kortney Kane, Sadie Swede, Hunter Bryce, and Chanel Preston. The latest one for My Friend's Hot Mom was Holly Halston, Deauxma, Darla Crane, and Julia Ann. Hopefully in 2011, I will be able to pull another one of those out of my hat. They are a lot of fun to shoot and the NA fanbase seems to love them.
As a content producer, I know that I make some mistakes, but I honestly feel like I made huge strides in 2010, and used my strengths to the fullest in order to be successful. I know more girls in the business and on the fringes of the business than anyone else in the world and more importantly I have the contacts and means to find them. I have the ability to shoot girls basically anywhere in the world if need be. I saved enough money in my business account to make sure everyone always get paid and that funds will never stop me from shooting someone I want for Naughty America.
As a performer, it was a good year for me as well. The highlight was finally working with Julia Ann, not once but twice. She is obviously a legend in the biz, but I find her amazingly attractive and someone that I genuinely enjoy being around. Having the opportunity to work with her will always be a great memory for me.
One of the perks of producing content for Naughty America is that often times I get to choose which girls I work with for them. How great is that? And believe me, I took FULL advantage of that in 2010. Raylene, Tarra White, Kerry Louise, Kristina Rose, Nikki Sexx, Madison Ivy, Claire Dames, Brooke Lee Adams, Austin Taylor, and Angel Dark are the names that first come to mind.
Some other memorable scenes in 2010 that I performed in was with Nica Noelle, a critically acclaimed director and dear friend of mine. She and I have great chemistry and we made passionate love for the camera that day. Also for the late, great John Leslie, I had the opportunity to do an anal scene with Chanel Preston and she did not disappoint. Working with the new porn superstar Jynx Maze twice in 2010 was definitely a highlight, as well as doing Dayna Vendetta's first scene ever for SSC Group.
I would be remiss if I did not mention some of the TS scenes I performed in 2010. There was an influx of very pretty, very passable, and very good performers to the business. Kimber James, who was the "it girl of 2009" slowed down her performing (much to my dismay) and that left a window for the new girls to make their names. Domino Presley, Morgan Bailey, Britney Markham, Aly Sinclair, Carmen Moore, Jessica Foxxx, and Hazel Tucker were all wonderful to work with.
Okay, enough about work. Relationship-wise, Phoenix Marie and I finally called it quits in March. But for whatever reason, we continued to be a part of each other's lives for the rest of the year. I am sure that I will have much more to say about our ongoing relationship, but for now I will let it lie.
My faithful hedgehog Linda is still alive and doing well. She is now 3 years old....can you guys believe it? lol. I also got another pet this past year - 2 sugar gliders! Phoenix actually bought them for herself, but when she moved out, she left them for me to own. Chip and Dale are both males and I love those little critters. They are hilarious! I will definitely include pics soon.
Everyone in my family is still doing well. My parents are nearing retirement, my nieces are getting older and are still precious, my brothers are still disgruntled and ridiculous, and I still love them all very very much. My grandmother on my father's side passed away last year at the age of 88 from lung cancer. Yet another reason I will never, ever, ever, ever smoke a cigarrette in my life.
I am now about 270 pounds these days. I have gained a lot of mass and strength in my upper body from a routine of heavy lifting. I attempted to get back into some sort of triathlon shape, but because I work so much at odd and varying hours, it was impossible to get back to where I need to be. I wish I could get back to 235 or 240, but with me shooting and producing and working so much, that is a pipedream.....at least for the near future.
Speaking of my future, 2011 is going to be a wild ride for me. I feel like I am at another crossroads in life. I know that I have wanderlust...its in my blood. I enjoy living in new places and meeting new people. It's been a dream of mine for years to live in Europe and everyone knows that London is my favorite city in the world. Maybe 2011 will see me uproot my life and head over there. If only I could produce european content. :) Unfortunately for me, I am stuck here in LA for the time being. I simply make too much money to give it all up and move. My exit strategy will take a lot of planning and perfect execution. Let's wait and see!
