Hey all, Just finished upgraded all 10 scenes from Brin to 1080p: SS151, 153, 159, and 175. For those who don't know, Brin was a fan favorite, a legend to some, a model who either sold REALLY well or REALLY bad... and one of my personal favorite people to work with over the last decade. She "came to fame" with SS151 and one of the best debuts I've ever shot, still. It's the one where she expresses her (actual) love for the Three Stooges AND nails the Curly "hit with multiple pies before pieing herself" gag on the first try. I still send this clip to prospective models, because what better way to show how much fun it can be getting messy? Over the years, Brin had some huge-selling scenes (Mess From Above, Flashback Workout) and some that almost no one bought (The SS Marathon and the one where she's wearing black lingerie and thigh-high boots, which seems crazy). She also rocked the gold bikini TWICE, did some of our first true pratfalls, and created a fantastic character with Ava the Android and Pie Machina, a joke that only the two of us thought was funny.....
I still miss the girl to this day! She's far far away now, not remotely modeling but still proud of her SlapstickStuff past. If you've never checked her stuff, the HD clips are now all in 1080p and there's even a "Brin Bundle" to grab everything in one swoop. Enjoy!
I'm not so much a fan of the lingerie ones, but I'm astounded the Brin one in black is not a megaseller, her hair is gorgeous in that, and because it is tied back it means the slime completely covers her face.
Brin is one of the best Rich actresses too. I like to think Mya is her thematic successor.
I own almost everything you've done with her. Definitely my favorite HD Slapstickstuff model. Just total willingness to do whatever the scene demands. People often wonder if models are "one of us" (spoiler alert: they're not) but Brin seemed to be really enjoying herself for the absurdity of the scenes (as opposed to the fetish).
One thing I love from Rich is the chocolate pies and Brin takes them really well. Always love the "yep!" and the nod of the head while she lets the chocolate slowly run down off her face and body.
And if you hate quick wipers after a pie, Brin is probably someone you'll enjoy

I actually think the hair pulled back might've hurt sales, I've realized that most customers prefer long hair down and if it's in a braid or ponytail or pulled up, that's less appealing. Of course the trade-off is that it takes time to dry hair and we might have to compromise if we're doing multiple scenes.
ANYWAY. I did check stats.... And when the initial sales were soft, I moved the price back to $5.00 (where it remains still). And over time it HAS done well! Not as great as Brin's other SS151 scenes or "Mess From Above," but in line with the two gold bikini ones.
The red-headed stepchild of her catalog is the Marathon one. I had a great customer who wrote that script and was SO excited to see it made, and so crushed when I told him no one bought it.

The exception to that is the Breanna cake-dive in her first "It's not fair!" though, right?

Too funny, the pulled-back hair while wearing black leather is exactly what appealed to me so much in this case.
I'm usually more of a girl-next-door kinda guy, and she pulls that off so well, too.
Maybe I liked the girl-next-door-pulls-back-her-hair-and-does-black-leather thing lol.
Who knows...
Too bad she's far away, be great to see her again.

Haha yeah, although that one is a "best of both worlds." She has her hair down originally, puts it up for the cake diving, then lets it down again for the rest of the mess (including chocolate head dunking). I feel like all the "only hair down" customers gave that one a pass cuz they got to see the messy long hair for most of the scene.
