Pink Visual’s Porn Stimulus Package [Economy]

Posted in ponante, money, marketing, economy, AB, Hype, straight, Pink Visual on September 2nd, 2009

For those who pay for porn (we’re traveling in purely theoretical realms here), Pink Visual’s version of “Cash for Clunkers” is pretty funny: Simply give up your old porn website membership and get a huge discount on a new one.

Imagine, if you will, all those couples cruising around parking lots with pro-sumer video cameras in search of seduceable teens driving cars they purchased with the government’s Cash for Clunkers program, then you get to watch 400 continuous hours of the “Couples Seduce Teens” for just ten bucks.

“Originally we had planned to have consumers provide us with some small bit of evidence that they’ve canceled their subscription to another company’s site,” said a Pink Visual marketing maven, “but we thought that might get too unwieldy, so we decided to run it on the honor system and boil it down to a promo code.”

Type “Clunkers” in the promo code all through September and get half off DVDs as well as new memberships to PinkVisual.com (and its gay little brother, MaleSpectrum.com) for $9.95.

We don’t normally hype marketing putsches, but we applaud creativity, and Pink Visual’s recent strategies (like putting iPods in movies, using recyclable DVD covers, and offering OctoMom Nadya Suleman diapers rather than offering to put her in a porn movie) are fun.

Strippers On Strippers (And The Economy) [Sex Work]

Posted in sex work, strippers, money, economy, interviews, AB, straight, Laura Jackson on July 6th, 2009

It’s an old chestnut that sex work is recession-proof: but how much truth is there to that conviction? The Rumpus takes a look at how topless dancers are faring in this economy in their latest feature, Recession Strippers.

A series of stripper-on-stripper interviews (a refreshing change from the more common reporter-on-stripper interviews), Recession Strippers examines the relationship between strippers and stripping, offering perspective on what brings women into the business, what keeps them there, and, of course, how they’re effected by changes in the economy. Up first: Laura Jackson, a girl whose been paid thousands of dollars to quit, but just can’t give up the dancer’s life.

From Jobless To Topless To… Jobbed? [Babes]

Posted in babes, photo, uk, magazines, money, economy, topless, AB, straight, Zoo Weekly, Zoo, Nikki friend, Sarah arnold on May 12th, 2009

It’s tough out there for the unemployed—but luckily for (some) of us, Zoo Magazine is doing it’s part to help the unemployed hotties of the world find work…by publishing sexy photos of them.

Yes, it’s true: in their new weekly feature “Gimme A Job!”, Zoo helps girls like Nikki Friend and Sarah Arnold connect with potential employers—well, potential employers who read Zoo, anyway. Though we have our doubts about the efficacy of this plan (at least for finding work unrelated to topless modeling), at least we can now say that we read Zoo for the employment section.

The Itemized Deductions Of Sex Workers [Taxes]

Posted in sex work, economy, AB, Taxes, Cosmetic Surgery, Manko on April 15th, 2009

To all of you scrambling to get your taxes in, here are some last minute tips from the pros on how to fatten up your return.

We haven’t been able to figure out how to get our insurance company to cover the costs of our [hypothetical] cosmetic surgeries, but the sex biz has enlightened us to a new pocketbook saver. Write them off — as maintenance! And while you’re at it, ask for tax breaks for all the condoms and lube you use, and even the new hot tub in the backyard, so long as you’re making dirty films in it. Dirty films for work, of course.
