Of course, some girls went on to be pretty big... think Krysti Myst or Katie Morgan to name just two.
And I'm not dissing Steve Sweet here, I LOVED the SweetLoads series and website, and thought he was awesome. Whatever happened to him? Is he still out terrorizing unsuspecting young women? Or did he get married and move the the suburbs?
On reflection, I'm not sure if it's really fair to compare Steve Sweet to Ed Powers as their products were so different. But I think it would be fair to put both of them in the reality porn category.

good call .. As for Steve .. well he packed his bags not unlike a lot of the larger players from that time and moved out of country and from what i hear he is happy and healthy..can't say where but I still talk to his guys from time to time .. I left a few years ago to work on my own program and kind of just lost touch .. everyone is just to damn busy these days .. kids .. work .. more work .. to keep up long distance relationships .. but I will say .. I learned everything I know about the adult biz from my years working with Steve and Old Mike (the dirty old man now this guy has stories from the 70's and sneaking films across borders in Europe under cover of night) .. it was a pretty damn cool "family" type environment .. something I am doing everything i can to emulate ..
