oh god, oprah? I'll watch it later but I expect plenty of judgemental outlook
 
Mansicle and I just got done watching it. It seems to highlight more on the negatives than the positives and even throws in couple with addictive behavior as a point. I think it was alright....I enjoyed the segment on the older woman more than any other. I did like the young couple's story of going from nothing to something as that is along the lines of what I was facing and that IS with college on both sides and a full degree.
Thank goodness for porn! :h:
 
It was eeeh... but interesting enough to watch ;-)

I do like the young couples story though. They aren't ashamed and that is awesome.

I agree Felicity! I was definitely happy with the pride there. It gives me a headache to see more negativity without any light for the positive side. I just hope I am doing as well as Miss thing is doing after 50! Woo! Thanks for sharing!

i'm only a little way in - watching 'sierra' - that is one brave woman!!!

country club. grandma. mother. in the south. And going public with this?
I want to like give her a huge hug.

I bet her grandkids don't after what they probably get at school now lol

Shows like this always seem to try to put a negative spin on stuff...like Sasha Grey on the Tyra Banks show. No matter how much Sasha came across as an intelligent, satisfied and in-control young woman, Tyra had to portray her as a deeply troubled teen who was denying some dark secret and manipulated by sleazy old men.

God forbid an adult woman actually has the ability to choose her own path.
 
I was trying to watch that video but the comments that kept popping up kept pissing me off.

Anyways.. Sasha Grey is hot as fuck! :whistle:

yeah I hate that shit, just mouse over the uparrow thing in the bottom right corner, then click the red icon that pops up to turn off annotations.

Nvm here's one without the idiot comments
 
yeah focussed a lot on the negatives as somehow inevitable. The couple with the larger woman, who were going through so much trauma... were not typical necessarily. I felt like they were saying "this is the inevitable end to the story" i wish they would haveshown someone who'd done it for years and felt positively about it!

I loved Sierra. What a brave thing to do.

I was almost literally run out of town in a southern town like she lives in. I was in that 'country club' lifestyle. I outed myself by accident and stupidity. I love that she did it on her own terms.

As for her grandkids.. yeah. I hear what you're saying. I hate how taboo this industry is. I hate how I know if i told my family it would hurt them. *sigh*
 
Why is Lisa Ling whispering while Sierra is on cam lol, if a member heard her there'd be like dozens of them demanding she get on cam too, then pee in each others mouths or something :lol:

I found her website lol...I hope her daughter doesn't read this, I'm sure it's not her real son-in-law but I think any daughter might be disturbed lol:

Ciara Fucks Her Son-in-Law
My daughter was out of town and my "Cougar" instincts just wouldn't let me behave. I called my son-in-law to cum over and give me a hand with some "heavy lifting". Well, the rest is history :0 I start off by sitting on top of him and teasing his cock.
 
I just watched the episode from Tyra and wow! I thought Tyra was rather judgemental especially considering that fact that she has been known to take her clothes off on camera for a few $$$ as well.....this is like the pot calling the kettle black.

I found this video of Sasha talking about her experience on the Tyra show though yall may want to hear that as well....

http://youtu.be/qFTEoBR215E
 
Haha yeah I've seen that...I like how they dressed her in the show's clothes because she looked "too old" and then Tyra immediately commented how young she looks (in the clothes and makeup they made her wear lol), and then proceeded to patronise her for the rest of the segment.
 
I remember seeing Sasha Grey on the show! She's fab. I looked to her when I first started out my dirty talking, lol. I liked Tyra until around the point that I saw that particular clip. I didn't watch her a whole lot, just snippets. I was disappointed :( But...between her own show and having to tailor to the public to keep up her ratings, shit was bound to happen. Sucks anyway.

There is a movie about a Courtesan called "Dangerous Beauty" that reminds me of all this.
 
I wish one of these segments about camgirls would show interviews with solo camgirls who don't do "amateur porn" on the side, or have actual intercourse on cam, so that webcamming could be seen in a different light. For anyone being introduced to camming via that video, they're going to automatically have a bad outlook on it and assume that all cam girls do "amateur porn". There are a TON of girls who never interact with another person, physically, during their work. I assume under their standards, since I've had a girl on cam with me and we've done sexual things to each other on MFC they'd call me an amateur porn girl too. I don't necessarily agree with or like that. I don't have a director, or a studio, deciding what acts I do on cam at any given point, and think that is the difference between calling something "porn" and simply being a cam girl.

I wonder when the day and age will come where media will stop frowning on any job related to sex. Until then, these segments will always try to play up the "cons" of the job instead of all the benefits. And it will keep lending to the bad stigma, which leads us cam girls to not tell our friends and family what we do for a living and feeling like we have something to hide.
 
I adored the milf chick. She is awesome!
I really felt for her so bad when she had to "come out of the closet". :icon-cry:
I'd cam with her any time! :-D I really hope she's doing well.

Lol I loved how she kept saying "amateur porn" over and over in that film. It was almost like there was an evil dun-dun-dun-DUNNNNN sound right before she'd lower her voice pitch and say "amateur porn".

For girls to qualify to be doing (dun-dun-dun-DUUUUNNNN) "amateur porn" I think you have to mutually lick snoo-snoos, or scissor - one of the two.

BTW if anyone cares, this is that chick's cam account http://www.ciarablue.cammodels.com/

I'm a little creeped out sexually by her, but she seemed like a cool and nice lady.
 
I just watched that video on youtube and all I can think about is brushing her hair out of her face. Its completely covering one eye and driving me nuts! :lol:

One of the things that really stood out to me on the Tyra show was Sasha's agent. Talk about somebody that epitomizes a sleezeball... he makes Ron Jeremy look good.

Thats a "no shit" moment if there ever was one. :-D
Purely a guess and 100% my opinion, but prolly the reason so many of those "agent types" are so creepy is simply thats the only way they can even get close to good looking women... At least if I were a woman and saw someone like him coming toward me, I'd run for the hills. :lol:

As for the OP documentary as well as the bullshit from Tyra .... of course its slanted. The world is and always will be basically puritanical when it comes to anything "sexual for hire".
~ Life goes on.....
 
Oh, happy day! I am so happy I found this thread!

Lisa Ling's documentary (on the Oprah Winfrey Network of all places) is how I found out about the world of cam modeling. It opened my eyes to a world I did not know existed! How I did not know about it before is strange I know, but nonetheless I did not.

Watching Lisa whisper in the hallway while Sierra was online was hysterical I must say! Overall, I did think the documentary (at times) was somewhat judgmental and definitely portrayed a negative, skewed view of the industry. The couple that modeled at night to support themselves were great and I am so glad they were not apologetic!

I wanted the show to be longer as I wanted to know more! I must say I was fascinated. My voyeuristic curiosity was peaked and my naughty side wanted to play on cam! Knowing that the media spins adult industry related jobs as taboo to keep up ratings with the main stream (my opinion), I decided to do some research of my own and found livejasmin (didn't find MFC until someone told me about it later) and the rest is recent history.

This documentary is the reason I am here on AFC and MFC as a new camgirl. Going a little off topic, I want to say the welcome of the models I have "met" has been warm and this forum - priceless. I love the opinions of cam girls & members, the guidance and the overall support of this community. I am so glad to be a part of it!

And that's all I have to say about that... good night!
