14. Do the people you went to high school with know what you do? Sceen your site? What happens when someone finds out? Do they treat you different?
Yes they do know..uugghh. This is how the whole thing got out. There was this message board that these kids that were two grades younger than me had. I guess everyone in their grade was on it and it was the thing right, so then some kid hotlinks some of my pictures and posts them on that board, which I found that board in my stats (that's how I found out about the whole thing). So we changed the pics to pics of goatse
That was great...sorry just a funny story. Everyone knows now though. A few of them have actually signed up to the site along with an old employer of mine...lol.
When someone finds out it is always real hush hush like it is some HUGE secret, but it always gets back to me...(will they ever learn). Some treat me different, but the people who are actually friends are so supportive and want to see the site. So I let them in and stuff like that. It's fun. They know that I am still me and I haven't let anything change me nor the way I think.

I recognize that behavior WAY too wellOriginally posted by ArikaAmes13. Why do you feel you have to do things yourself?
I don't know, it's like I feel you really can't for one depend on anyone but yourself. If you do things yourself you have no one to blame for failing at something, that is on you and I think that saves a lot of trouble and confusion. Also when you do things yourself I feel like the rewards are much greater...it's like damn I really did this. Quite the rust especially when it is something pretty major. I don't know maybe I am just kind of a control freak...haha! Not in a bad way, at least not in my opinion, but yea...lol. Damn, I hope that made sense

Great and interesting to know a little bit more about you. Keep up the good work

Hmmmm....when's that? Hopefully it's during a very slow time last year, I'd hate to miss it 'cause I was someplace else!Originally posted by ArikaAmes
Man too bad I didn't know even half the people I do know, it would have been a CRAZY wedding!! Maybe you can make the reception!

15. What direction will the site take in the next year - 5 years?
Oh lord, I don't even know. I know that I keep on trying to make it better and better. More recently I have touched on some more girl/girl content. I still don't know if I want to jump into the boy/girl stuff. I know I have a more than enough time to decide though. Right now I am concentrating on having it a single girl site with occasional friends. Oh it's so hard to say where it will. In the next five years I can see myself still being on the modeling side. I would love to venture into some more niches...nothing too nuts boys!!!, but just switch it up a little bit. I have had a few ideas just waiting to be focused on...maybe some reality type stuff. Only time will tell I suppose.

16. What do you think you will be doing for a living in 15 years?
Mmmm well hopefully by then I would have graduated...lol. I don't know it's like I have had so many dreams of being some CEO of a huge company or being a clinical psychologist. But honestly I wouldn't mind having my own entertainment company. That taking place both on the web and physically. I feel like I am strong enough and smart enough to run a good honest business that is fun and exciting as well. One of my role models is Heidi Fleiss. I plan on developing a couple of her ideas or extensively.

Be careful before you venture out into some other niches.Originally posted by ArikaAmes15. What direction will the site take in the next year - 5 years?

I wouldn't want you to be like all the other sites out there. I think you apeal to the guys wouldn't ordinarily pay for sites. You have a certian "bring home to mom" thing going on. Its a very rare purity image that most internet sites dont have There are 100 million pics of girls and guys getting dirty. I belive that would make you just like the other million sites out there.
I might suggest that if you want to expand into other niches, maybe you create, own and manage other paysites featuring other people in niches that you recruit. Just becareful not to hurt your brand.
Just my two cents. Besides, I always wondered what happens to a teen girl site 5 and 6 years down the road when they are no longer a teen.Comment

Arika is the best!! You are such a hottie with a great personality!Originally posted by ArikaAmes15. What direction will the site take in the next year - 5 years?

I think you should stay away from hardcore (as much as I'd love to see it!!) Look how far Tawnee Stone got by not doing much of anything, and you are much sexier than Tawnee.
You guys know the paysite and content game, so it would be just as easy to shoot someone else in a b/g or more hardcore site. Keep your girl next door persona and your softcore shoots!!
Congrats on switching to NATS! You will LOVE what they allow you to offer to your webmasters. I still need to switch my link codes from ccbill

18. Who do you look up to in this industry? Who do you look down on?
This is such a hard one.grrrr. I look up to a lot of people. There are many that catch my eye everytime they post and that really do have a lot of good things to say. I mean of course I kind of look up to some of the other single girls like Vanilla and Allie. I have been sitting on this question for about 15 minutes now. I don't really know. I don't want to say that I don't look up to anyone, because that surely isn't true. Uggghhhh I just do not know. This is one frustrating

19. Have you ever been stalked due to your website? Thoughts?
Nope! Never have, hopefully never will. Thoughts...I don't know I think stalkers are dumb, however girls really do have to be careful with what information they give out and to what people, and really that is girls in general. I think that I am a lot safer being on the internet then say stripping in a strip club...lol. I don't know though..knock on wood!! I was stalked by more people when I was working in a restaurant then now...kind of strange.
Also, sorry guys I took a little nappy! I am back though. Thank you for all of your very sweet comments

20. Is it hardier or easier being a sexy girl to get people to trust your business sense?
Umm I think it depends, but of course it takes time. For me I think it has been pretty good, but I am sure there are still some out there that look at me as just content and not someone running a business. I think it helps, but there is so much more to it. How you carry yourself, which battles you choose to fight, how much you work towards your business, and how you talk to people both in private and on the boards. I think that is all shows in your work though. If you are successful and being honest about your business you can go very very far.

My favorite new car that I will probably die when I get, and oh I will get it is the Cadillac XLR however I would settle for the CTS-VOriginally posted by datatankWhat is your favorite new car?
What is your favorite 60's muscle car
What is your favorite car your parents had you rremember growing up?
My favorite 60's muscle car..Hmmm that one is kind of hard but I have always loved like the older corvettes...very very classy.
My parent's were never all that much into cars..plus they had 4 kids..LOL, but I would have to say their Honda, it's newer though.Comment

21. Will you sleep around to advance your career?
Ummmmm it depends I suppose...j/k. I wouldn't sleep with someone JUST to advance my career. That may be how I met someone in a business talk then it may get a little hot and heavy. Biz talk turns me on

HA! What an appropriate pic for the question!!Last edited by ArikaAmes; 02-17-2005, 10:07 PM.Comment

Well....I don't know a whole lot about people finances so that is kind of hard to say. Of course and I'm not just saying it because it is the thing to say but looking far and admiration is such a huge thing, but I would say Jenna or others like her. Who know wtf she is doing and going on and on. Her name, oh yea it will be around forever. I'm not saying I admire her either because she is a pornstar "and every girls dream is to be a pornstar"...j/k...lol. But just everything that she has down for herself, and I know that she carries home a huge chunk of change. Another one would probably be Vanilla I could only imagine her profit and I know she is working on a few other things.Originally posted by datatankWhich women do you admire in this biz that was a model.
Which model do you think has done the best financially of running her OWN biz and making her own cash from sites etc.Comment

22. What's the wildest place you've ever had sex?
Well not really all that crazy, but almost every house I used to go to I've fucked in their bathroom...hahaha. That was awhile ago though, just like at parties and such, you know, kind of get away from all the action
Ohhhhh man I am thinking of some memories now! Usually it's giving a blow job in crazy places

If I get black exterior then I would go with the probably the gray interior. However if it is silver I would love the black interior. Leather, it's horrible in the summer, but it is so nice, so definitely leather.Originally posted by datatankWhat color Interior?Comment
