Haha, Catie is a real bad example. Catie's BFF from real life was Holly Michaels, Catie knows all about the LA porn industry and wants nothing to do with it. She really didn't want to do a website either - all she's ever enjoyed is being a camwhore on MFC. She tried Streamate and hated it.
Ashley Doll on her own shot for Twistys, that's it as far as I know.
Oh and the last part, ask JayRock and Rico from Panchodog about 'just one little shoot' not being risky - JayRock discovered Meggan Malone in Texas, he shot her for Met-Art himself, I showed Meggan to Rico and he loved her, made a deal with JayRock quickly to shoot a solo site, signed Meggan to an exclusive contract and spent a fuckload on her, think 40K - Jay moved to LA and I think I introduced him to Stephen Hicks, Stephen of course wanted to shoot Meggan when he was shown her photos. I was against it, Rico said it was ok with him, what harm could come of it?
Anyway, while Meggan was at the Hicks studio, well known agent John Stevens showed up on the scene, it didn't take long for Stevens to convince Meggan to jump ship, even though she was under contract to Rico and within days VIVID Video announced the signing of Meggan Malone as the next VIVID Contract Star. Rico's investment became almost worthless.

Ashley's on Backroom also. Among other sites too, one more atleast.
And you can't compare a model a photographer found to my scenario. Like i said, every model is different. You treat different models differently, if shes a model that is going to run when given the chance, you dont provide those models with shoots elsewhere, you have one that is smart and a relationship with them and know theres next to no chance, thats much different. Photographers dont give these girls non stop work. The only way they get non stop work is by working with tons. Or else have a solo site.
