i discovered sasha grey and not through porn sites.
i do not actually remember how i discovered her… it was only few hours ago.
ah yeah! through her interview on tyra banks.
anyway…
in my research for my work i have played with the morality of working for politicians and porn stars. both are very controversial yet super professional and dedicated. as much as i like the motivation they poses (they are in highly competitive arenas where image is everything) i am also very opinionated about a lot of stuff and very individual as well – i do not know if i could divide my professional services with my views and where is the limit in such division.
anyway…
i found sasha grey and she seems to know what she is doing. or she has a very good team of people who all know what they are doing. she only lacks someone to do her web pr a bit better but obviously that is not her priority or maybe it is good she is still a bit hard to find online.
my impression is that she is well designed and she controls it well. she obviously hired the right people and is projecting the right kind of image to attract the right kind of people. definition of right is very loose here, whatever gives broadest results.
she started only few years ago in porn and is maybe the first porn star to make a move from porn into mainstream film with a role in soderbergh film (or not?).
ciccolina is actually one of the most successfull porn stars when it comes to transitions thanks to her marriage to jeff koons and work in italian parliament, and after her moana pozzi and many others (some maybe before her).
so sasha grey is not so very creative and not really the future of anything. she is simply now. if she was the future she would not be popular now. she is pushing the whole porn into mainstream thing few pixels further. her porn work is, i am guessing, i haven’t seen it yet, super boring just as most porn usually is. porn has to be boring anyway – no one consumes porn for entertainment but because of the sexual energy release.
but it is refreshing to see someone like sasha grey pop up from time to time. she brands herself very well in all aspects. she figured out how to act in porn, on youtube and on tyra banks etc… she is very young so she is smart for her age, or just super talented in this one ability to manipulate media for her own gain. she is interesting enough for this post.
i am not so much into porn and media to really stay up to date with everything that pops up but sasha is someone i might think of working with. partially just because today she seems popular and motivated and that is always good material, and partially because it is something new and challenging for me.
google sasha grey a bit and you might be entertained not only sexually, she produces a bit more content than just pure sex.
