Choose a Girl

The producers claim that Megan had only been paid $1,500 for her original appearance, and had asked to come back for a second, but had been rejected by the producers, who critiqued her performance as “frigid at best.” Here, Megan realized, she could begin to create her own opportunities. As a foster child, she didn’t have the same resources that other kids her age had. But through pageants, she began to realize that modeling was a legitimate career path moving forward, and could provide opportunities to not only earn decent pay but to see the world. With her eighteenth birthday approaching, and her beginning to consider college – as well as life in the adult world, as she began to age out of the foster system – she began to look for job opportunities.

The four of you had met up for a much-needed girls’ night out to finally have a chance to unwind and catch up. Though child me (and, to be honest, grown-up me as well) primarily watches the show for the character of Rory, the true stars lie in the secondary cast. Both the characters that play Emily and Richard Gilmore (Kelly Bishop and Edward Herrmann respectively) won Tony awards in the year 1976 for their theatrical pursuits. Not to mention the fact that the actresses that play both Babette and Miss Patty (Sally Struthers and Liz Torres respectively) are both theatrically trained and have performed on Broadway.

• But for the select few females who make it to the top of the industry, paychecks can be “upward of $350,000 a year, while top male performers can make more than $100,000 annually.”

One of the most famous adult film stars of all time, Jenna Jameson, earned an estimated $30 million per year hawking her own brand of sex toys until she sold her popular website ClubJenna to Playboy for an undisclosed fortune in 2006. According to THR, “guy-on-guy pornography has a separate pay scale; most agents in the mainstream straight porn world, including Spiegler, do not represent gay men.” “While a decade ago the average female performer would make about $100,000 a year,” Spiegler told THR “she now might make as little as $50,000 — all while juggling responsibilities such as social-media outreach and personal appearances.” But while many aspects of the business are changing — from the just-passed L.A. County measure requiring condom use in adult movies to shrinking profits — 40 million to 50 million people in the U.S. are reportedly still regularly watching pornography on the Internet.

Also, the opening shot of the town used during the title sequence is the same stock small town overhead shot used in both Pretty Little Liars and the new small-town thriller show Riverdale. When Adam Brody left in order to feature in The O.C., his sudden absence was explained by him moving to California (where his new show was filmed). When Brad made his sudden return to Chilton, his absence was due to his stint on Broadway, where he played a role in the musical Into the Woods (which is what the actor was actually doing at the time of his absence). But even though these scenes are the most entertaining to watch, they were horrid to film. It turns out that these scenes took an incredibly long time to film (upwards of 12 hours).

The cult-like following Girls Do Porn was able to build is a testament to the popularity of a sleazy amateur porn subgenre where vulnerable girls are offered money, often on camera, to act in their first adult scene. The nature of the videos has also birthed a community of viewers dedicated to identifying the models in the scenes. These women were reportedly trafficked by the amateur porn production company, “GirlsDoPorn,” many of whom were outright tricked, forced, and coerced into shooting sex on tape and then lied to about where the footage would end up. A settlement has been reached in the lawsuit filed on behalf of 50 women who sued Pornhub’s parent company for hosting videos produced by porn company GirlsDoPorn. After the victims returned home, still believing that they would remain anonymous, Pratt and his co-defendants posted clips of the videos on heavily trafficked adult film sites, like Pornhub, to funnel traffic to the full-length versions of the videos on his website, GirlsDoPorn.

After the girls agreed, they were flown to San Diego, but instead of modeling gigs, they were told the job was actually to appear in an adult film. The women were reassured that their videos would only be released on DVD to collectors in Australia and New Zealand, not online. “This defendant lured one victim after another with fake modeling ads, false promises and deceptive front companies, ultimately devolving to threats to coerce these women into making sex videos,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Randy Grossman. “Even when victims told Garcia how the scheme had devastated their lives, he showed no regard for their well-being. Hopefully today’s sentence will offer them a sense of justice.” Grossman praised prosecutors Joseph Green, Alexandra Foster and Sabrina Feve; FBI Special Agents; and the U.S. Attorney’s Office Victim Witness Unit for their excellent work on this case.

Chapin told NPR that in addition to offering financial compensation, the websites also have to take down the Internet postings and let the women know that “friends and loved ones may see it — so if you want to be paid money, then you’ve got to understand what the potential problems are.” A California judge has ruled that the owners of a San Diego-based pornographic website has to pay $13 million in damages after they defrauded 22 women in order to get them to perform in explicit videos. According to San Diego Superior Court Judge Kevin Enright, those were lies. Garcia admitted that he and co-defendant Michael Pratt were the lead recruiters for GDP and GDT.
