Who's the current porn 'It' girl? Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think so there always seems to be a porn 'It' Girl. Shes the model who makes the sales ring up when she's on the cover. She's the girl that seems to define the standard for a while. She's obviously good looking, but often her 'It' status is defined by other things like her intensity on camera. My porn viewing isnt up to date. I'm probably still stuck in 2008 or so since Ive spent a lot of my porn time recently in tracking down movies from the early to mid nineties. Some girls who definitely had the 'It' status for a while were Aurora Snow, Taylor Rain and Jenna Haze. Certainly Jenna Jameson had/has it, but that may be more marketing than fan buzz. Some who may have had it (but maybe it was just my infatuation with them that made it seem that way) are Amber Rayne (who could still have it), Gauge, Inari Vachs and Tammi Ann. So is there a current 'It' girl? My guess would be that Sasha Grey would qualify, but since I'm not up on the latest talent she may have already started to fade (I hope not!). As a matter of interest and opinion, who was the greatest 'It' girl we never had? In other words, who should have had that buzz but didn't quite make it?

MY guess is that the one that's currently at the top is Tori Black. She won the Perfomer of the Year at the AVN awards this past weekend among a few other awards. She's been in the biz for about 2 yrs but 2009 was truly her breakout year. She is super cute and by most accounts a nice girl. Whether by chance or by good planning. She appears to have well planned her carrer up to now. She started with simple boy/girl and girl/girl suff and has now started doing the anal stuff. In many ways she reminds me of Jenna Haze. Be advised that as far as I know Tori is mostly all DVD. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Ahh! What a horrible article, Advent! Don't tell me porn-for-profit is going away. :( Damn this economy. Though I can say I don't care about "It" girls (or even Sasha Grey for that matter) the article gave an indication of how fleeting such a title is as she only started in 2006, apparently just after she turned 18. Nobody can be it forever so is she already on her way down, since 2009 was "her" year? "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I don't know if porn-for-profit as a whole is going away, but I do know we (ATK) will not be counting out so easily. We have been around for a long time and have seen many "fly by night" website come and go. The shelf life of a porn star is very short as it is and this just goes to show in this age of technology the shelf life is even shorter. There is always another girl next door turning 18 and deciding to show her bits on the web. :) Owner Kick Ass Pictures CumEatingCuckolds, FootFetishDaily and Kick Ass Pictures Please feel free to contact me with concerns or comments, I would love to hear from you. | |

Another girl who is gaining popularity at a pretty fast rate is Kagney Linn Karter. She just won Best New Starlet, and she signed her first contract with Zero Tolerance. And there's a few people around the industry that think she's smart enough (and good enough), to be the closest we'll ever see to Jenna (Jameson, that is) again. | |

I didn't mention Sasha Grey because in my opinion her ship as sailed already. She was the "It Girl" about 2yrs and possibly even 3yrs ago. She got it to porn at 18 and was already doing gang Bangs. No matter how great you might be. What is there left for you to offer your fans once you've been gang banged by a dozen guys. You can leave the biz for a few years and make a comeback but she didn't do that. Her main claim to fame is appearing in a mainstream movie playing an escort. I haven't seen the movie yet so all I know is what I read on other sites but no matter what anyone else says. I do believe it requires talent to play a part in any movie. I will gladly categorize Sasha in that rare category of pornstars that actually played an important role in a mainstream movie and did a more than passable job at it. There aren't that many since I don't consider it an achievement to play stripper #2 that gets killed by the maniac or all those softcore roles that involve you being naked more often that clothed. I've read on other sites about Kagney Linn but she has a few things against her that somehow make her less likely to ever reach the level of "It Girl". The 2 biggest ones are implants and a clit ring. I"d say she is more like a flavor of the month/year kind of girl. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

You do realize that most of the most popular pornstars of the past 10 years breast implants (Jenna Jameson, Jesse Jane, Tera Patrick, Stormy Daniels, Lisa Ann, etc.)? It may be a strike against her among the type of people here at PU, but when it comes to mainstream porn popularity, I really don't think it matters. | |

I haven't seen the film either (it's in my Netflix queue, I swear!), but frankly it doesn't sound like much of a stretch. I mean a high class call girl, really? That doesn't even sound like a bold move by the producers or casting director, especially with Steven Soderbergh as director. If it sounded like a really demanding role for a pretty actress (think Charlize Theron in "Monster") than I might be inclined to think she had some mainstream talent to show off, but not as a hooker in an independent film with a minute budget. Having said all that she still looks hot in PinkPanther's link:
That's one lucky outfit! And am I to assume all the studs are to keep creeps like me away? "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

I think that most of these women owe their popularity more to hype than actual fan base. For the most part these are all contract players. That means some powerfull companies promoting them inmagazine or on the net. That also means that their material will wind up in hotels on PPV. Jenna Jameson is possibly the only pornstar in history to have had such media attention outside of the porn world. I think she owes much of her success to luck, timing and a strong marketing company behind her. In the beginning she had that all american cuteness but the plastic surgery and tattos really altered her looks. Tera Patrick did about 100 films in her 10ys career and frankly how many of us can name 2? She also started her career with some fairly normal looks. The large implants and tattoos made their appearance later on. Jesse Jane has made 56 movies in 7yrs. No offense but again she is only popular because she's a contract star. If Jesse were to lose her contract with DP tomorrow. How many people would cry foul? Same thing for Stormy. Take away her contract star status and would we really be talking about her? Now Lisa Ann I grant you is truly a big star. She started in the biz 15yrs ago and she did disapear for a few yrs and made a comeback a couple of yrs ago. Unlike all of the previous women that you mentioned. She has done some impressive sex scenes. The implants are also fairly new or at least their significant size is. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

In two words: Madison Ivy seems at her peak . And Hayden Winter seems to be really gaining too. Since 2007 | |

Girls that seem to do a lot of porn these days, which would be a reason for "it" status, include Jada Stevens, Alina Li, and Chloe Amour. Personally, though I like all three, Chloe Amour is the most interesting. A rising star might be Willow Hayes. I don't know how much she's done. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

Madison is only at her peak on Manwin/Mindgeek owned sites because she doesn't appear to shoot for anybody else. She does have the distinction of still be doing porn after so many years and that's nothing to laugh about. There aren't too many active 6 year veterans in the industry. I think you are thinking this is 2013 because Hayden is not gaining on anything. I'm not even sure if she is still doing porn. I was under the impression that she left late last year. Cute girl though. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Alina quit the industry a couple of months ago and I think Jada is also gone. I think Chloe is still active but not a very prolific performer. Willow is still a question mark because she has barely a dozen or so scene under her belt. Cute girl but the large colorful tattoo on her right leg may make her unappealing to many producers. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Not sure if it's just my perspective, or if she's actually prominent in the mainstream, but Stoya seems to be a bit of a big deal. | |

How does one choose an "IT" girl in porn. Last one I remember was ... what's her name.. ah (hold on I have to look it up)... Sasha Grey (dam my memory). And I think the "IT" part was because main stream media grabbed hold of her. That said, I don't really think there is an "IT" girl. I follow certain people on another popular forum and it depends on what you're into. My main following is the Jonni Darkko thread, and I think the current "IT" girl(s) there this year were Vicki Chase & Bonnie Rotten and I mention them because Jonni made letter videos of them. And if you one where to look at who gets mentioned a lot, Tory Lane is called out often. And that's just here in the States. Europe & Asia are another matter. Plus I suspect that one's preferred niche has it's own "IT" star. But I do have to say that "IT" doesn't really mean all that much when you consider people like Bobbi Starr, Belladonna & Francesca Le who produce & star (well - Belladonna doesn't perform so much any more). Just meaning that "IT" can be seen as transitional (or flavor of the month) while longevity in the business means staying power. I find it interesting that someone like Misha Cross flies in from Europe to shoot stateside and for the time she was here (maybe a month) she was the "IT" girl during her stay here. Last year Nikita Bellucci came and everyone wanted to shoot her (no more though since she has become a contract girl for Hot Video). It really is so hard nail down. If the mainstream media picks up on one, that pretty much denotes being "IT". If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee. If you're going to lay her head over the pool table and fuck her throat, get your fucking hand off her throat! | |

Again the correct term is was a big deal. Stoya is part of a very small group of performers who was able to sign a long term contract with Digital Playground but unlike most of their other performers. She was a lot more open to doing the more hardcore types of porn. It didn't hurt that she was not your proto blonde, large breasted girl but a waif like ivory skinned with deep dark hair girl. Sadly like most post-contract performers. She didn't do a whole lot once her contract came due. These days I think she lives on the East Coast and does non-porn related stuff. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Sasha did have the It girl quality but so much of what she did felt calculated that she sort of loses porn credits. She is in that rather small group of past performers that has actually made a semi-decent career in mainstream Hollywood.
Since so few performers actually last more than a few months than the bulk of todays porn girl is an It girl for about 2 weeks.
Although you would think that having an entire movie dedicated to you would make you a great candidate for It girl. I think it's more because those women are willing to do what Jonni likes and very little. Granted Bonnie has a certain following but I can't grasp the reasons why. It's certainly can't be because you enjoy looking at her natural body. Even a tattoo fan must think that she went a little overboard with some of her body art. Long live the Brown Coats. | |||

My favourite thing about her was how she rocked the 'sexy nerd' thing; she was damn clever, articulate, and had a lot of interesting and well developed opinions on a lot of topics. Reminds me of the kind of girls I normally get involved with. | |

Pat, if you mean "calculated" in terms of having a plan I'm not so sure how she lost porn cred by doing that. She would do anything. But if you mean that she wasn't particularly spontaneous or maybe what I mean is turned on doing her job, then I do subscribe to that. She was a working girl who did what was ask of her. Not sure she had orgasms doing it though. Very professional though that did not always produce hot sex scenes. There are women (Bobbi Starr is an example) who get turned on by what they did. I guess for Sasha it was a means to an end and for that I have to give her props. Detached - maybe that's the word I'm looking for. I don't think - (obviously) - I can find the right word I'm looking for regarding her work relationship. It was a job and she did it well but not always mewing afterwards.... damn - still feeling like I'm leaving something out here. If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee. If you're going to lay her head over the pool table and fuck her throat, get your fucking hand off her throat! | |

^I actually think that both terms apply to Sasha. Not that there is anything wrong with that but that kind of general attitude is bound to affect her overall performance. As much as I thought she was hot and that she was impressive in her sexual abilities on screen. Too many of her scenes left me a little cold because there was a certain look in her eyes that I couldn't overlook. I think she had a plan that included a checklist of things she was going to do while in the industry and I can't help but feel that she knew at about when she would leave the industry. The fact that she managed to get cast in a well respected directors mainstream movie just accelerated her timeline but not by much. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Chloe Amour has been in 82 porn films. I suppose that doesn't quality as "prolific" enough. I wanted something new, so I left England for New England. | |

^^ Pat - you made a couple of good points in your observations. On the latter one I have to give her props for having a plan and being able to use the medium to jump start her life. ^ Drooler - In +five years Sasha appeared in (according to the iafd data base which is not always complete) 305 titles. The two women I mentioned, Vicki Chase, 248 in +five years & Bonnie Rotten, 123 in +2 years. Interesting interview with Sasha last year. Interesting that her IQ is 146. If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee. If you're going to lay her head over the pool table and fuck her throat, get your fucking hand off her throat! | |

I agree that 82 is more than impressive but in the case of someone like Chloe. The number has to be looked a little more deeply to see that she isn't as prolific as the number would imply. Of those 82 titles. 15 are scene she shot for internet studios and 25 are non-sex videos. Just the 25 non-sex scenes means that almost a third of her scenes aren't even porn. Long live the Brown Coats. | |

Thanks for the interview link, jberryl69. I guess it sucks for her fans that she's no longer making porn, but I love how she mentions in the interview that she told her fans she was moving on from porn with a FB post: "Don't worry, I haven't found Jesus!" She is certainly more interesting than probably most people give her credit for, and it's good to have a "serious" interview that's about more than just her porn career (albeit, her first novel is erotica). Funny how these interviewers are always super alert and hanging on their subject's every word when it's a porn star.  There was an hour long interview with Nina Hartley in early 2013 that was the same way; done by somebody outside the industry, not judgmental or too silly, but still lighthearted enough to keep it funny and interesting. I wish there were more of these with current or recently former performers, instead of the litany of melodramatic horror stories of people who turned against the industry or those insufferable "What are your turn ons/offs?" idiot interviews done within the industry.

A friend of mine, not a model but an escort, calls this 'tragedy porn'. Mainstream conservative moralists get off on the tragedy wicked people have to endure, under the guise of caring and empathising. She's a successful, educated, happy, healthy, and professional escort; in her line of work there are quite a few social workers and charities on patrol looking out for 'at risk' girls (who are definitely there, and have real problems). These people have all the time in the world to talk about abusive pimp boyfriends, deadbeat dads, lost faith, and drug abuse- but the second they meet a well adjusted, happy, and successful sex worker, they just shut down to the point of hostility. Clear headed, professional adult work is antithetical to the moralist narrative they peddle. That's why there's not more of these cool interviews of which you speak. | |

To me, most all the ladies mentioned are amazing eye candy, but they don't take my breath away, save Madison Ivy and Stoya. Who has taken my breath? From the eighties and nineties, Serena, Meryl Michaels, Ginger Lynn, Victoria Paris,Christy Canyon, Vanessa del Rio and Nina Hartley (she does still) . More recently: Zoe Voss, Dakota Skye, Janice Griffith, Alexis Fawx, Kacey Jordan, Sensi Pearl, Alexis Texas, Koika, Esperanza Gomez, Samantha Sin, Beata, Yanna and Dominika. At the very top of this list are Mirjam, Kayla, Shantel and Nella but they are known by so many other names that it's difficult to track them. I'll probably add to this list as they occur to me. Michael unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |
