Maybe there is more behind the scenes that I haven’t seen or read but from what I could gather APAC ended up being more of a social organization with some advice and counseling woven into it. APAC isn’t harmful to the industry but I am not impressed so far with its accomplishments (they do have a chance to contribute to performer welfare, though). APAG can go to hell. I am not completely against a union in adult film but that organization’s leadership seems to be extremely catty and cliquish. My father worked as a millwright when he started out in manufacturing and then in factory management for a while, some of the unions he had to deal with (which were several) were a bit catty and one pretty ineffective (good for him on the ineffective one, I guess as he was in management at that factory) but none were like APAG which reminds me of teen movies like Clueless and Heathers with their catty arguments and cliques (others will have to comment as to whether high school is really like that, I attended HS years ago and my graduating class was about 20 which means no cliques just due to size). Phyllisha Anne’s attempt at an adult film performers union before APAG was pretty sad as well, I thought it might have some promise but it turned into cliquish bullshit quickly.

As for the FSC, it is less of a clusterfuck under Eric Leue than it was under Diane Duke but it needs improvement. Most of the FSC’s success can be credited to former lobbyist and public relations representative Siouxsie Q and non-employee Lorelei Lee. Lorelei is now retired on her Kink.com director million dollars plus (over three years as a director) in salary and Siouxsie Q is no longer working for the FSC. Now it is time for Eric to step up and do his fucking job or find the money to hire a replacement as competent as Siouxsie Q to do the work for him. Good luck with that, Siouxsie worked for cheap compared to the going rate for someone to do her former job, a good lobbyist and public relations representative will likely cost $300K per year plus.

Sorry pressed submit too soon! I want to also note that while the FSC may have been shady in the past, under this new guy named Eric, I’ve been quite impressed. He really seems to care not just about the studios and the money but also the performers and their best interest. I’ve had more than a few conversations with Eric and he’s won me over.

Yeah, I always get those two confused – APAC and APAG but it’s important to note there is a big big big difference between the two. APAG is a scam.

APAC does a lot for the performers and so does FSC. That APAG with Alana Evans and the other has-beens is a joke.

I am not a fan of APAC but I do recall them having a seminar on money management and accounting a couple of years ago. If I recall former accountant and now former porn chick Veruca James was involved (I wonder what she is doing now and hope she will consider a comeback soon).

Too bad there is no program to teach the girls how to manage their money. Some make lots of $$$ and end their career just as broke ass as when they started.
