I hope everybody had a great New Year. I know we did. We spend our night at a swingclub in El Paso and had a blast. Obviously we couldn't take any pictures, but believe me it was great.
Most of you know by now that it is our 10th Anniversary online this year, (Notice the front page eh?
http://www.adlana.com )I guess the most change over the years was adding all of our sites into one. Well for the 10th Year we also lowered the prices to 14.95 per month. Yeah there is a reason for that, and no I am not shutting the sites down. However last year I began buying older homes and remodeling them. This is quite a bit of work, but I love it. HOWEVER,,, that doesn't leave a ton of time to update the sites on a weekly basis and I scaled back a bit in partying and updating. I was thinking about adding a diary into site area for you all to see the houses I have done over the past year ( I am at house number 3)... But I guess that would bore everybody to death eh? Well like I said we are still out and about, just not that much.
We have a few trips planned this year to parties, one of them includes Alaska, so I can scratch this of my list of states visited Hooray!!!!. There are a couple of web parties we have been invited to this year we plan on attending.
10 Years online, I still can't believe we have been around for that long. Looking back at all the pictures we took, all the webgirls we met and all the parties we crashed it has been a fun filled decade. I am going to reach a milestone this year and turn 40 (somebody hand me a gun and a rope). We have seen many girls come and go over the past decade, however a couple of them are still around since we started Jen and Dave, Carol Cox and Oasis come to mind. I met those girls in the late 90's. Wow... The Internet has changed a lot too, and the perception of webgirls. Barmeets used to be the thing to do, now barmeets have become boring and commercialized (well not all of them, but some have) . LiveCams where unusual and the hot thing (remember Jenni Cam??), now if you don't have a LiveCam members will complain. Digital Cameras where rare and most of our pictures than were made with my 35mm Minolta and developed by a friend of ours (now everybody has one) The AVN shows where a great gathering place for other Amateurs online, now its a huge commercial event for everybody (and we no longer attend them). I have made great friends over the past decade and would like to thank some of them. Virtu Mike, Mustang, Lensman, Carol Cox and others who have helped me out over the years but no longer online. I remember Patrick from the Hun emailing us telling us about his new site and exactly what a Gallery is, so we could submit it. Now getting on the Hun is a feat by itself. Billing Companies have come and gone (with our money, remember Lancelot??)... Well there are to many changes for better or worse to ad here.
We have tried new avenues with the Internet failed and succeeded in some, some where ahead of their times (Adult Sites for Women and NN Sites) and are now becoming popular. But we always kept in good spirit and took the good with the bad. I have learned a lot about Networking, kissing ass and brown-nosing, about who to trust and who you can't. Friends have turned into enemies and some enemies have become friends. 10 years is a long time. We had more than one run in with the police over the past, neighbors who hated and loved us. Media who adored and than hunted us down just to get a story. It's been an interesting ride so far. Let's just see what the future will bring online. What changes will be made, for better or worse, were still around, hanging in there one way or the other. Online Porn is still a little like the Wild West, but with a bit more restrictions than when we first started in 1996, but its still Wild!!!
I hope you stick around for the next decade, for more adventures and more fun.
Love, hugs and kisses hahahahahahahaha Steffie
