Courtney Page is a fine young specimen! She grew up in Germany and came to Los Angeles via Denver where she worked as a stripper. Does this chain of events sound farmiliar? Fortunately for her she has a pretty face, long legs and perfect 34b’s.
So many young women flock to Los Angeles with dreams of their 15 minutes of fame. Most are not able to achieve their goals. . . Some come to work in mainstream movies, tv and modeling, working as strippers and call girls on the side. Other girls arrive here to become porn starlets, with big dreams of becoming the next Tera or Jenna.
The reality is that most don’t even come close. When I’m looking for a new ‘ideal’ sex model, I have a very specific body type and personality. Probably one in 20 have what I’m looking for. It’s all very subjective. So there is a lot of rejection in the sex film business (not to mention the brutal realities of mainstream Hollywood). This constant rejection and the pounding down on their dreams can lead to mental instability.
But I must say the just trying to fulfill your dreams is a big step forward. It took me years of effort to become ‘Andrew Blake’ and my success was due to luck, being in the right place at the right time, talent and drive. Everything in Hollywood film and tv is a big hurdle to achieve, even getting a serious career in porn.
I’ve stated this before - the problem with porn today is the rapid advance in technology - now everyone can be a photographer and filmmaker (or video maker as the case may be for most), cheap so-called HD cameras and editing systems. The commodification of sex in the late 90’s and 2000’s and with the advent of the internet has only served to numb the public’s attention to sexual excitement. There is something terribly exciting about buying or looking at ‘forbidden images’, and that’s somehow been lost today.
I grew up in the 1950’s and the most sexually decisive moment for me is when I was about 12 and discovered my father’s collection of 8-mm stag films including (maybe a Betty Page - Irving Klaw) bondage film. Adding to this thrill was the clandestine manner of threading the film into the little machine and projecting it on my bedroom wall in the dark when my parents were not home.
Now there is a glut of porn content that mostly all looks the same. I know of more than one big company here in LA that shoots ALL their movies in the same two locations!! Don’t people catch on to this or is it just me?. To be successful today one has to find their own personal niche in the market. There’s a trend in porn now to make silly knock-offs of TV shows and Feature films. One movie that was released last year and super hyped is in my opinion a very naive, childlike themed costume picture. I’ve talked to several girls that attended the premiere who said it reminded them of a high school play. This is the wrong approach to making a sexy movie. Can’t they think up an original idea? Really. Special effects simply get in the way of the erotic subject matter and certainly special effects don’t belong in a porn movie unless you’re talking about natural breasts! Kira Knightly doesn’t do sex on screen and certain adult actresses should not attempt dialog. But thats just my opinion.
Here’s a clip from a short 13 minute film TRASH starring Celeste Star and Kimberly Kane. It will start showing in HD on 1/27/10 in the Members area and VOD Theatre of AndrewBlake.com
Celeste Star came to me by way of my friends at Hustler Magazine. A very sexy young woman with great legs and a pouty pussy. This was our first shoot together. It’s another example of an intimate ‘play session’ filmed for my satisfaction and your viewing pleasure. Remember - overexpose then don’t develop. . .
