My point stands even though there isn’t actually a 7-Eleven on Hollywood and Vine (the intersection where prostitution is supposedly rampant within a two mile radius although that may have changed lately).

As for Shy, I know she no longer performs but she is still cute and I am sure she could get scenes if she wanted them. I hope she has found Mr. or Ms. Right and is living happily ever after either getting fucked up the ass with a double-size dick or her pussy eaten out with her hands cuffed behind her every night. Maybe she would also enjoy a little cattle-prodding or caning of her cute derriere or a good old-fashioned over-the-knee spanking (I can dream, can’t I).

Derek and Shy may not be most liked people in the business but they are respected. They defiantly care about talent and protecting the business. There girls are reliable and professional. The one thing I know is if they say something or shake your hand they keep whatever commitment they promised. Talk about them all you want but every time there is a quarantine they are the first to assist and get everyone on the list asap. The stopped CET from taking over and controlling test. They changed the HIV testing to a better test that we use now. They get there talent $20 reimb for test. Does your agent do that for you.

The question that has me confused is why is no one looking at why they really left and why its dangerous to have Mark from ATMLA be the new king in charge of LATATA.

LATATA was an organization created to help talent and agents. It now does not stand for that. Now its about protecting producers and directors and fucking over talent.

Mark should be calling his company producer agency not talent agency.
He undercutting rates on talent. This benefits him and producers but not the talent. He gets more bookings, producers get cheaper bookings and the girl gets the same amount of scenes at lower rates.

So now Mark is getting girls less pay, they have to spend more money on test and in return he does not get them reimb for testing and over prices on drives. His talent should be so happy.

I have a problem that Mark thinks more like a producer and cares more about producers then talent. Does anyone not seem concerned that he is on the board of FSC which is a organization to help producers not talent. Now he’s the king of LATATA which is turning from a agent/talent organization to a producer organization.

I see the writing on the wall and this is going to become one big mess.

In this case “we” both refers to the adult industry and society as a whole both of which would be well served by legalizing prostitution and requiring a 14 day adult industry panel along with mouth and anal swabs also tested for all VDs from all sexual parties to a prostitution transaction before sex takes place.

I think most readers know my stance regarding condoms on porn sets so I won’t get in that argument with you here for the hundredth time, Hop — considering this thread is about Derek and Shy leaving LATATA (and not either you or Derek playing with Shy’s ta-tas and getting some of that Grade AA prime pussy from her in a porn film scene) it isn’t really appropriate. I would be glad to reiterate my position in a more appropriate thread.

As for bullshit, we all seem to have an opinion when it comes to porn and almost everyone else thinks that opinion stinks like a week-old make-up sponge shoved up a grade METH or grade XANAX performer’s pussy that is also infected with gonorrhea from fucking johns in front of the 7-Eleven on Hollywood and Vine.

Who’s this “we” you speak of, Matt?

And for those unfamiliar with the misinformation and general bullshit you routinely spout, why don’t you elaborate on why you feel condoms are ill-advised on a porn set…

@erik2690

“ah, the mandatory back pat/take down of others that is a mainstay of your articles lol.”

While your criticisms of this site are the mainstay aka cornerstone footing that stands as the overall theme to your comments it would be incorrect to say “”“but it isnt uneducated speculation like you see on lesser site”” is a mainstay or cornerstone or buttress to the articles posted here.

To make the point more clear the article in its entirety still stands vs your comments which lose all substance if the criticisms you hang onto like a rabid pit bull are removed.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt …perhaps you are unaware that a younger less experienced site relies on vitriolic attacks against this site as part of its bread and butter….hence the critical comparison vs affirming reference.

Taking a page from your book…Erik2690 shows up with his stock in trade criticisms and questions and has yet to prove his intelligence.
