It was a little after midnight on a warm New England summer night
I had just packed my suitcase for a trip to L.A. When I heard about a possible outbreak of syphilis in my industry. Well, I thought, even if my scenes that I have booked get canceled I should be okay. I also thought,
Now is a really bad time for this to happen, as if there is ever a good time for an outbreak of anything to happen.
The real reason I had a 7am flight out of Boston was for an audition. An audition for the lead role in a Vivid film. That to me was more important than any paycheck or hot sex scene. I had been like a giddy school girl from the moment my agent mentioned the part to me. I was daydreaming,
And full of hope in a way I had not felt in a while.
I was also overwhelmed, having just picked up keys to a new, larger studio space while still paying the lease on original studio. Knowing I’d feel guilty leaving my partners to pick up the slack of my absence, and knowing I was most likely not going to earn enough to even cover cost of airfare, hotel, and rental car. Knowing it was a gamble, I knew I had no choice.
My trips to L.A. are rarely ever easy. This particular trip was challenging to say the least. I had a couple days before my audition to prepare. During these days I became very dramatic, manic, and anxious. Typical behavior when I’ve nourished a lust for something needful.
The day of the audition my confidence had abandoned me. Where that coward ran to I’ll never know. What I did know was I’d have to once again rely on my charm and charisma. Lucky for me it flows when it has to.
My mouth was dry. Perhaps my saliva was keeping my confidence company.
During the audition i was shaking- I hope nobody noticed
The director used the word “decent” of all the descriptive adjectives used to
describe me…
I cried as I drove away in my red economy rental. Tears of relief, tears of fear…
He must be immune to my charms! I thought of all the wonderful border line stalker creative ways I could win him over. My mind was spinning with ideas of how exactly to reveal to him I was the only choice!!
Funny thing is, after the wave of syphilis crashed upon the industry I have
Little desire to chase after roles.
Everything has fallen in to perspective. I am going to focus on my fetish clips for now. I have been thinking more and more about the need for a union in the adult industry. I have seen a lot of changes in my nine years of performing. The biggest changes are yet to come, hopefully for the best intrest of the performers.
Thanks for reading
