Thanks Gonzo don’t know how to take it….I am not here to start controversy but to clear the air and since my name was dragged into this for whatever reason maybe to turn the attention from the original question that you poised and shift the blame just to project their inadequacies onto myself personally because of my checkered reputation/past or just my “kind” in general….the alleged “suitcase pimp” types that by and large without them unfortunately some content shooters wouldn’t have too many updates to put up very frequently…..like it or not they are a necessary part of the equation…unless your sexyjobs account has a 100% kill ratio or you pay consistent quality (once again “industry standard”) rates therefore being able to add quality talent updates from bigger named adult talent agencies….they also have more stringent rules as well that I may have overlooked during my tenure with “The D”.
I really did try to work with him ….going over one of his sites I count 21 individual models that I personally referred to him over the course of several years (conservative estimate)…and I am not counting the ones that we know separately together either. Gave him the benefit of the doubt numerous times but no matter how hard I tried or if it was just to adjust for inflation or just a general Cost-of-Living adjustment…he would not budge….I had one model question me afterwards…..”Did he pay for the first scene on the Sybian?”, “Why did he show me his Lotus, Bike and entire house and then pay me a measly $300 for 1 shoot that lasted more then 6 hrs?”..I even had one local producer say that the mere fact that I am even connected with him doesn’t reflect well on me as a recruiter/manager. …..Now the only good report I was ever given was by one model and that was that “he gave me a bonus for shooting a good scene”…..Dirty D calls that a “tip”….I thought only escorts got “tips”. I mean Christy Wild had issue so much with him she put a page up against him on her site……I also hear that Phoenixxx Blaque doesn’t have anything good to say about him either….1 disgruntled former employee….maybe….but consistently one after the other….seems to me that their appears to be a pattern. Just like those weekend nights at the Playhouse Adult Theater but the Tampa Police reports sum them up just nicely…..Now I know why he always said that never ever “worked” on the weekends.
By the way feel free to pick away at my carcass and any stories that I have mentioned….be bold and ask me directly as I have turned over a new leaf basically during the period of time that we had first met….hell I will be the first one to admit that YES I did bang a good amount of the talent pro bono……but considering I am male talent…..read….CharlesTaylorXXX.com…I might have actually had the opportunity to work with them on a paid shoot (and did). I felt it was in my best interest that I know that the model was fully aware of what she was about to enter…..some people aren’t/weren’t cut out for porn and there were several that didn’t even make it to that level. (Ever hear of quality control…some people will just slap shit together and call it a “masterpiece”) So before you start throwing stones due to the groundbreaking statements that I have just made let I remind you….That most of the same shitty things that are said about my “castings” can also be said about Roy Garcia, Dick Nasty and Regan Senter of California and additional notoriety in some shape or form has been stated about all the other so called Florida "agents" such as Brian Berkenfield, Eli Thomas, Ray Jones and Nick Sparks (or so I've been told all about of the list characters above).

Initially I got into this business just as anyone does to make $$$.....after I figured out that everyone was a liar, cheat or a scumbag….I felt then why not get some of the perks associated with doing what it is I do and join the crowd…shit, if ya cant beat them then join them!….I guess what I mean to say is….that if everyone was honest, upfront and paid their bills on time I wouldn’t have time to do anything else but count my money and do my job…..but since I cant get this luxury afforded to me I might as well get something out of the deal…..I read a tell shirt once with this on it…..Cash, Grass or Ass….nobody rides for free…..and so that is my motto…..now since I don’t smoke….Dirty D can attest to that…..you can deduct what is then left from that equation.
