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.
A few days ago the famous erotic content producer Holly Randall (daughter of the legendary pornographer Suze Randall) made a public statement on her social media announcing that she will not be attending any adult industry awards shows this year. Alex Mayers briefly speculates as to why the porn industry’s “Princess” (who is also a successful podcast host) may be avoiding the spotlight…could it be due to the awards system inequity?
Or possibly the industry’s blatant racism? In addition Alex Mayers comments on some very irresponsible sexual practices a pornstar linked to Brazzers and Adulttime posted tweets about and Alex issues a warning Adult Entertainment Expo (#AEE) attendees NOT to have sex with any of the pornstars.
It’s important to remember that there are HIV positive professionals (such as John Stagliano) working in today’s porn industry. Caucasian HIV positive yet undetectable individuals such as Stagliano often get a pass by the porn industry’s “elite”, however Blacks such as Darren James do not…
