Frankly, I think any man that exploits teenage girls like Steve does, knowing that they're hardly old enough or experienced in life enough to realize what they're doing, is pretty low.

So heres the deal ....
At least looking at it from the other side of the table.
Every model that Ive personally tried to shoot over an extended period of time ends up flaking out.
They got a "real job", they dont want their sorority sisters to see it or even in some cases they think they know how to do it better than you do.
Investment in any solo girl site is expensive unless you are just hiring her out for a few weeks and shooting all day/every day.
You have to pay for the location [in some cases], you have to buy outfits, you have to pay for meals and refreshments, etc etc. It does add up.
Then you have to spend time [which in my case is even more expensive] on capturing and editing video, selecting photos to be made webready, developing a character/personality that goes behind a site, planning the rollout of each set and video.
Time and money.
And in its a roll of a dice if a solo girl site with no hardcore will sell at all in a time when excess and extreme rules.
Anyone attempting to do a solo girl site should be stockpliing content if they have any business sense.
That being said.
If your going to flip the site from softcore to hardcore I dont think its very effective when your model claims to have quit the year before becasue she found God.... then her housesitter was rummaging thru her computer, found a honeymoon video, [who shot it?] , and knew enough to copy it and then turn around and post it on Youtube.
I call bullshit.
Punctuate that with a statement from Steve Lightspeed saying now they are considering releasing it for profit.
Just admit you wanted to flip the site hardcore and be done.
