Alexandra Mayers gives a quick overview as to what she has coming up in the realm of readings from and commentary on interesting pieces of literature from Shelley Lubben, Jason Quinlan & Todd Bridges.
This is a MUST LISTEN for all active adult industry performers (pornstars). On May 13 of 2020 James Bartholet (of Inside the Industry on LA talk radio) conducted an extensive, informative and insightful interview with the executive director of the Free Speech Coalition Michelle LeBlanc.
In the interview Michelle clarifies information revolving around the adult content production halt, why its imperative for adult performers to abide by the Coronavirus mandates in their areas (in regards to social distancing, restraining from travel, etc) and how the FSC Covid-19 Task Force is working diligently to create a plan for the industry to safely reopen in time.
In December of 2018 a pornstar relatively new to the industry known as Lily Adams made some pretty serious accusations against an adult industry photographer known as Stills By Alan in regards to an alleged sexual assault that supposedly happened at his residence (in what Lily described as a “Princess Room”).
The incident made national news and though Lily had a bit of support from within the industry after going public about the situation, she was also extensively bullied.
Apparently the situation overall doesn’t matter much to the powers that be of the American adult entertainment industry though, because “StillsByAlan” IS BACK as a producer, director, cameraman and photographer utilizing the alias Alan X for a studio called GirlGirl.com (which appears to be owned by Jules Jordan).
It’s interesting how some guys in the industry get away with allegedly assaulting young adult actresses where as others don’t… a key to getting away with it (at least in part) seems to be having a history of being friendly with Mike Quasar.
Bobbi Dylan issues an adult industry WARNING in regards to pornstar Katrina Jade’s partner Nigel “the Dictator” – his victims are SPEAKING OUT!
According to social media influencer and ex pornstar Bobbi Dylan, Nigel has a criminal record, has faced issues involving child protective services, has assaulted adult performers and attempts to push adult performers to watch videos featuring the abuse of animals.
In part 3 of this comprehensive interview with adult actress and adult performer advocate Lasha Lane, Lasha and Alexandra discuss the future of potential educational resources for performers in the adult entertainment industry – along with some other situations currently playing out within the political ranks of the PORNOGRAPHY industry – both of the positive and negative.
Lasha Lane shares insight around a recent incident involving the creation of an educational program intended for adult p performers which involved the Apag union, the FSC, Alana Evans & Lotus Lain.
In addition, Alexandra and Lasha discuss the impact the Coronavirus pandemic has had on the industry, and how the pandemic’s aftermath may shift the power structure of the industry.
Lasha also touches on Mark Schechter of atmla’s discriminatory practices in regards to who he’s currently willing to represent (apparently he’s currently only seeking to recruit teenagers into the adult industry – youngsters between the ages of 18 and 22).
Alexandra Mayers of the PNTLIVE network reviews some questionable elements and concerns revolving around Talent Health Labs (a venture of Alert Cloud), public figure known as Michael Fattorosi (the lawyer who was involved with Pornwikileaks) and the criminal enterprise associated with sex trafficking within the pornography industry known as XxxstarPR.
As of current Talent Health Labs DOES NOT appear to be a part of the Free Speech Coalition’s PASS network.
In part 2 of this comprehensive interview with adult actress and adult performer advocate Lasha Lane (click here to view part 1) – Lasha outlines what she feels are cost inequities within the FSC controlled PASS system and how some studios appear to be “grandfathered” into the pass network and don’t have to pay to access talent records (whereas others do).
In addition Lasha Lane makes it clear that she’s willing to work with all of the adult industry leadership entities (such as the FSC, APAC and APAG) as she feels that they’d all be more effective were they to unite (opposed to continuing to fight).
Lasha states that one of her goals is keep the government out of the adult industry (in regards to regulation). Lasha Lane also delves into the perception of Black (African American) women in the industry (the mainstream vs. urban debate) and expresses how she is glad that a few Black women in the industry are finally exercising their voice.
Lasha Lane shares her long term objectives within the adult entertainment industry and outlines how she believes the long standing adult industry institutions, media outlets and awards shows (such as AVN ) at their core seem to want to be more inclusive and promote diversity, but don’t appear to know exactly how to do so (due to the “old guard” within the industry)… Lasha hopes that her efforts will shift the industry in a more productive and positive direction when it comes to educating the industry (as a whole) in regards to what inclusiveness in actuality is.
The primary change Lasha Lane feels should occur within the industry should be the elimination of pornstar talent agents, agencies and publicists – due to people in such positions having too much perceived (and unjustified) “power” in regards to the type of content produced, who works (versus who doesn’t), the existence of the illegal problematic prostitution rackets, and the global “trends” the industry at times dictates (as being valid) to the public.
In the upcoming part 3 of this interview Lasha Lane goes into detail in regards to the dispute between APAG union leaders and FSC leaders in regards to a future proposed program to provide adult performers with RESOURCES and EDUCATE adult performers as to what the realities of what the porn industry really are.
Alexandra Mayers conducts an insightful and educational interview with adult actress and performer advocate Lasha Lane in regards to a plethora of issues today’s adult performers face (especially in regards to the Free Speech Coalition’s PASS testing network).
This is a 2 part interview.
In this video (part 1), Lasha specifically addresses her concerns about the affordability of the STD tests offered by the FSC’s PASS system testing clinics. Lasha questions whether or not the high cost could be hindering performers from a lower financial bracket (performers who are often People Of Color) from having the opportunity to work in the industry consistently (or even at all).
Lasha also notes that upon meeting (and speaking with) the current spokesperson of Talent Health Labs (Kiki D’Aire), her questions and concerns were not properly answered. One of Lasha’s primary questions revolves around how additional affordable STD testing clinics could become a part of the FSC controlled PASS network.
As of current Lasha Lane is hoping the Free Speech Coalition leadership will offer solid answers, so that in time, the adult industry can effectively raise it’s current level of inclusiveness.
