Q : How Much Money am I going to make being an Adult Star
A :
The average rate
for a Boy/Girl scene
in South Florida
ranges from $700 to
$1,000
The average rate
for a Girl/Girl scene
in South Florida
ranges from $500 to
$700
Exceptional models
do
get more. We've seen
$1200-$1500 in several
cases for a boy/girl
scene from the larger
companies.
A new
girl can make
$6,000-$8,000 in just 10-14 days
WEBCAM We are working to equip the model house with webcams. On your off time you can work as a webcam model right in the comfort of the model house. Some girls
pay their bills just working on cam 3-4 hours a night
WEBSITE OWNERSHIP
We also help you build your website so there's
website membership income
which can add up fast even
if you only keep a few
hundred members a month
@ $19.95/month.
FEATURE DANCING
Doing
adult films will
increase your name
recognition and earnings
substantially as a dancer. Pornstars
pull fans and the clubs know this.
Once you
have achieved a certain
notoriety in porn, (Usually 50+
videos) some girls can become a
"pornstar - feature" dancer.
As a feature,
you're getting a nice check
to walk in the door
..usually with hotel and
flights paid for ...add up
tips and Polaroid's, T
shirts and DVD's
Features dancers make a lot of money.

Q :
How much
time do I have to devote to
a trip if I am
new and from out of town?
A :
We usually suggest 10-14 days for your first trip. This allows time for you to settle in, get your portfolio done, get your
medical testing done, get
your pictures out to
production and still have
about 10 "shooting days" left on
your schedule.
|
| |
|
Q :
How will
I/we get around?
A :
We provide
transportation to and from
the airports, train and bus
stations to the model house and to
and from your
shoots. People are
constantly going out for
food, groceries, cigarettes, the
malls etc. You won't be
wanting for much. We're pretty
close to everything.
|
| |
|
Q :
Do I/we
have to stay with you? Can
we stay at a hotel or with
friends?
A :
Absolutely. There are
several nice hotels in the
area if you still want pick
up / drop off service to and
from your shoots.
If you have your own car or
local driver and are a
industry veteran you are
welcome to drive yourself.

Q :
Is it ok
if I bring my other half
or a friend for support when
we meet you?
A :
Yes of
course. We support any
arrangement that helps you
feel at home and at ease
during your time with us.
From the
moment you walk in our door,
do your paperwork and model
profile with our staff until
you leave - you can have any one you
like right next to you for
support.

|
Q :
Can I
bring my significant other
or friend to the actual shoots or
gigs?
A :
Yes, a
"meet and greet" to chat and
answer questions for a few
minutes is expected and
readily accommodated. We
understand why you would
want to be accompanied to
your first shoot(s) and so
do they. We introduce
everyone and chat for a few
minutes until it's time for
girls to get into makeup.
Once the
"record light"
goes on - nobody is allowed
on set that does not
absolutely have to be there
including us.
When it's
time to shoot the scene,
everybody nonessential OUT.
That's the rule.

Q :
Can my
significant other or friend
stay at the model house with
me?
A :
Sorry, No. We
have to draw the line on
that one.
And yes, we
have actually tried it on
multiple occasions at the
behest of the model who
assures us her other half or
friend is 'the coolest
guy. It usually
ends up causing problems
with the other girls in the
house after 'the coolest
guy' tries to get into the
shower with them, etc.
Models

Q :
How
do I get paid? Do I pay
Income Tax? What is your
commission or fees?
A :
GETTING PAID: You get paid
directly by the production
companies that hire you for
your shoots. Usually by
cash or check. Checks can be cashed immediately at the producers banks.
All checks are
payable to your real name.
Most producers pay "same day" and
some "do payroll" and mail
checks anywhere from 7-14
days after the shoot.
INCOME
TAXES:
While all
earnings are subject to
income tax, more and more companies
will take actually take the
payroll taxes right out of
your check. This is becoming
more and more common in
California for example.
It varies
from company to company and
how advanced their
accounting process is.
You will
receive the proper forms
(W-2 and1099) in the
mail the following January
for you to complete your tax
returns.
AGENCY COMMISSION:
Reminder: All jobs pay you
direct.
Once you have
been paid by production we
will collect the appropriate
commission rate on your
earnings. Commissions are due from you immediately after you get paid.
Standard rate
is 10%. This rate applies
if you do not need
housing or ground
transportation to and from
your shoots.
If you live
locally or staying at a
nearby hotel and just need a
driver (from our model house
vicinity to the shoot and
back) we charge 15%
Model Housing is in South Florida
Fort Lauderdale.
Housing is $175/ per week or $30/per day for a shared room at our model house in Ft. Lauderdale

Q :
"Do I have to
Audition"?
A :
NO.
Our Producers hire based on your
pictures.Sometimes
they will ask us to run you
by their office so they can
say hello. This is known as
a "GO SEE"
They may ask
to take a quick look at you.
Some will snap a couple of
pictures to attach to your
booking sheet. That's it.

Q :
Will my parents & friends
find out?
A :
Maybe:
We can't predict the
future. But in the
interest of disclosure, you should absolutely go
into this knowing that eventually SOMEONE may see you.
If this is a
problem for you - we
recommend you take a pass.
Come back when you don't
care.

Q :
What
about Birth Control?
A :
DISCLAIMER:
Nothing you
see here should be
interpreted as giving advice
or professional counsel. It
qualifies as common
sense logic.
OPINION
You should
absolutely be on highly
effective birth control
BEFORE you even start having
sex - let alone 'on camera'.
Birth Control
is a private matter best
discussed with your doctor
after a full physical.
You should be
candid about your line of
work when you see the Doc.
TELL YOUR DOCTOR. THEY NEED
TO KNOW IN ORDER TO ADVISE
YOU.
If you do not
have resources to see a
private doctor, we have
linked to resources below
such as Planned Parenthood
which may be of help to you
and are partially
government funded and
therefore less expensive.
They now have
almost 900 clinics
nationwide. Make an
appointment with someone and get yourself
into the office.
