and with production down 50% you'd think the agents would be working harder to bring in the really cute and hot girls who actually can get lots of work.

The reality is that most of the agents- especially the ones in LA- do little or nothing to bring brand new girls into the business. They may get a few truly new faces from time to time, but half of the models that they put up on their sites or email blasts as "Brand new- Just arrived in town" for their Porn Valley clients have already shot with someone like me before or some other producer or photographer a handful of times. So they aren't really brand new anwyay. My own informal network of recruiters, advertisements, email addresses and referring associates always did and still does bring more new models into the biz than a licensed and bonded agency like Goldstar did even back several years ago when they were still booming.
