The market has spoken and we have listened. No more wigs ever!! *

* Please note that, contrary to popular opinion, Nichole's face, boobs, butt, legs, arms, and torso remain uncovered through all four scenes. Especially Scene 4, which doesn't have a wig in it at all. Also please note that Nichole gets every bit as messy as the previous 100+ models not wearing wigs... Quite a bit more than a lot of them, actually.

** Please also note that, in the future, if a model DOES wear a wig and no one notices or cares, I sure as hell won't bring it up.

Sadly, if she was nude, it wouldn't matter, given her chesticles.

Sorry this has been such a sour source for you, sir.

Eh, every once in a while you have a dud volume. It happens. SS12, where the model wore a wig and hated every second? Dud volume. Sold WAY more than this one did, though.

And if I now have to run every set of fake breasts past you guys for approval first.... I just give up.

Wig. Schmig. As someone who did pay top dollar for the first scene with Nichole, the wig put me off not one bit. But then I like the 'clowning' nature of such scenes and a wig is not a barrier to that as long as it's feminine enough.

It will be a shame if you can't afford to have her back - she was good. But she was no Britney.

I love you Rich, lol. You are a good man.

I was trying to be more supportive, just in the sense that she's a looker regardless. And that did not work. And I can see just how stung you are by this Wig-gate situation, so i will say no more.

Hi Rich

I could of told you that years ago no one wants wigs. Learned it the hard way LOL LOL

But also my last 2 months of sales have been the worse in my many years of selling vids.

Guess the economy is not getting better for most

Just my thoughts

So, these scenes are now the "Alan Smithee" of Slapstick Stuff?

I agree with this. I expected better returns on some of my newer stuff too, and it's been real slow.

Hopefully sentiment will change and purchasing trends will improve, but economic policy here is a disaster. I'm praying it doesn't continue, but I'm not betting on recovery.

Maybe for your next shoot you could get your model a nice rain hat and galoshes?

Maybe it's that way across the board then. I also released a new volume from one of my better-selling models (Carrie) and it's had the worst sales of all her releases.

So what catastrophic financial event occurred in March that ONLY affected men between the ages of 19 and 45 into the WAM fetish???

Which Britney??? (I'm serious.)

She's already cool with coming back sans wig. I basically told her I was taking a bath on this shoot, money-wise. But I also don't know if I convince her to take a reduced rate on top of that.

For those who care, the rates for models are about 2 to 4 times what they were five years ago, across the board. Meanwhile, download sales are about 1/2 what they were in the same time frame. Tough math no matter how you cut it.

Life. It's getting more and expensive just to provide yourself with necessities, and sometimes goofy fun things have to be put aside. I don't like behaving like an adult.

Ah, I took your comment to mean, "Wouldn't matter if she was naked, I still don't like her boobs." My bad.
Personally I think her boobs are a little too fake, but it's not a deal breaker. Body-wise I'd put her in my top 10% overall.

I'm actually OK with "Wig-Gate" now... Once I realized that even the real hair scene wouldn't sell, I knew it was a lost cause. (This post was actually supposed to be jokey?? Maybe that didn't work either.) I'm basically doing a salvage sale... Every little bit helps, and even a price drop of a few bucks is enough for some. And apologies to those who bought these clips at full price. I hate it when something gets deeply discounted AFTER I buy it, and that wasn't the intention.

My hope is this cleans the slate for my NEXT model. (For those wanting a silver lining, SS146 is coming sooner rather than later.) She's roughly the polar opposite of Nichole in every way, so that's... Good, right?

Hmmmm...if her face, boobs, butt, legs, arms, and torso truly remained uncovered through all four scenes, she'd pretty much be nude the whole time, and not getting very messy either. Certainly she'd be wearing no more than a metaphorical fig leaf and a pair of shoes.

Her of Vol 105 (and others) fame.

She was lovely. Stunning, comedic and did the 'indignant' acting well. She also wore full lingerie with stockings and suspenders (as we say in the UK) on more that one occasion - which is alway a big bonus for me too.

The non wig scene was awesome, great hair and face stuff, and hell i think the wig scenes were the same quality I've come to expect from you bud. Shake em off. Would love to see that Shelly messy hats, funhouse gameshow scene mayhaps?

Yep. I wish she'd come back too. She went the husband/kid route instead.

Yeah, that one's coming. I have to space out the Shelly scenes now that's she retired. It will be quite ironic if this time next year, folks are begging for new Shelly clips (after that ship has long sailed)....

Is that the woman in your new profile pic? She looks intriguing.

About the "economy:" Isn't there more competition now? Every smartphone takes HD video, YouTube is free (awful quality and production, but free) so any boob can make wam vids. But I see a lotta one-vid producers here. Hang in there the market will shake out as the flybynighters go elsewhere.

Well obviously... As we've discussed in other threads, 20 years ago producers could basically charge $50 for a 70-minute VHS tape with 4-5 different scenes of such widely different material (clothed wetlook, mud bathing, food in clothes, pies) that you were basically dropped a Grant on ONE scene you really wanted. Nowadays a scene specifically catered to your tastes, in full HD video, delivered immediately to your computer, is worth... 5 bucks? Maaaybe?? [shrug]

And yes, at this point there are more pie clips on YT right now than probably existed in the entire history of the world circa 1990. None of which cost anything but time.

I think myself and other producers are a bit more concerned that sales have dropped dramatically JUST in 2015 alone. It's very odd. 2014 was actually one of my best years to date, believe it or not, even though all the factors you mentioned above were clearly in place then as well.

And yes, the girl in my profile is coming soon.....
