No one made a penny in publicity. I was very vocal about demanding payment, but people either were missionary about spreading the lifestyle or had stars in their eyes. Webdreams.

If you couldn't understand how to parlay the exposure into making money, that is your own fault. Most of the "talent" had no talent.
allowed product placement. Malazia and I were sponsored by Von Dutch and got tens of thousands of dollars in Von Dutch merch that I can now sell in my vintage clothing store. I actually still fit in most of those outfits.
We really didn't need the show to make us money. I with the help of Jman introducing me to Jay Grdina and then Jay getting me a meeting with Steve Hirsch to introduce Malezia to secure her Vivid contract.
After that, every wannabe pornstar and feature dancer was contacting me to help them become stars. The JoinRightNow program got bigger than it already was. I eventually went on to work for Discovery Channel TV shows.
What did you actually do when they offered you to be on the show. How much did you want to get paid to be on the show?
