Damn! Grand Opening! Grand Closing!

Elli · 09-03-2009, 02:40 PM

Er, that was quick.

Easton · 09-03-2009, 02:40 PM

wtf? that's insane

Loch · 09-03-2009, 02:42 PM

smells like a very interesting true story at some point

Manowar · 09-03-2009, 02:43 PM

holy shit, what the fuck?

st0ned · 09-03-2009, 02:51 PM

WTF? That seriously sucks...

Exotic Gold · 09-03-2009, 02:52 PM

Hahahahahahahhahahaahahahah oh shit, my side.

God.

RevShare it! · 09-03-2009, 03:11 PM

Wow that is crazy. Maybe the 2 girls had exclusive contracts for their sites already with another company?

Seems odd to make a business model based on poaching talent.

RyuLion · 09-03-2009, 03:25 PM

Yawnnnnnnn..

Robbie · 09-03-2009, 03:38 PM

Wow. I guess that thread where everyone was babbling about how great the new Alexis Texas site was for page after page was a total waste of our lives.

Fuck, I had no idea they were shutting it down.

I do know that I wasn't impressed with yet more solo girl sites with static ass tours that the surfer can look at once and never come back. That's why I didn't bother to sign up for the program.

But man, they were sure pushing like it was gonna be a big deal. They've been at the last few shows I've been to and had created a buzz amongst the usual people.

I'm guessing that the guy who was "funding" the project quickly saw that they were losing money.

Weird, I didn't need any "funding" for Claudia-Marie.Com when I opened it up in May of 2007. We had only 5 scenes (though I was shooting and adding a new one every week) and within 2 weeks we had a few hundred full members (I don't do trials)

The "Funding" came from the site itself. It was turning a profit the first month.

Maybe some of these girls that the little bubble of L.A. thinks are "big stars" aren't quite as popular outside of Orange County as they think

Ya, true. True.

You know those girls did break my balls rather ruthlessly for calling them out, but I have to say it's bloody tough to be out of a job in 2009 in this market, I wouldn't wish it on many people. So I wish them the best of luck.

Though I think LA is its own county.

MaDalton · 09-03-2009, 04:09 PM

i think this must be a new record for the shortest operational period of a program. only this huge ass booth in miami (or vegas?) comes to my mind of that program that never really launched - was that xbang or something like that?

PAR · 09-03-2009, 04:19 PM

MaDalton.. wasnt that pinktv or something big showing big party.. then... nothing

DonovanTrent · 09-03-2009, 04:42 PM

Wow, yes, huge booth at AEE in Vegas (people had to go up a flight of stairs to get to the girls, which made it real convenient for the handicapped -- ironic, I think remember Briana having a cast on her ankle).

I'm guessing that little thing in that Alexis TexASS megathread about Alexis having a pre-announced "official" site at PremiumPass might figure into the story. I noticed after I mentioned it that Jessica acted like it was no big deal and everyone's happy and yada yada which made me think, um, yeah ok.

wargames · 09-03-2009, 05:24 PM

wow pretty sad

no, i really think it was xbangcash or so. but pink tv is another prime example of extraordinary fail. burnt hundreds of thousands of dollars for content, thought they reinvented the wheel, spit on webmasters cause they thought they can do it without them and the last thing i heard from them was an email when they tried to sell their content for cheap.

VeriSexy · 09-03-2009, 07:22 PM

That is crazy

pornlaw · 09-03-2009, 07:53 PM

Starlet Entertainment officially closes its doors Sept. 7, after its investors pulled all funding from the program with reportedly no explanation, and have terminated its staff's employment.

Must be some hidden reason why it happened.

fris · 09-04-2009, 06:44 PM

ive had shits longer than their uptime

rhizome · 10-03-2009, 07:50 AM
