Ever know someone who ended up in a skin mag?

In My Humble Opinion
61

My sister stripped and was an “escort” for a while in her late teens, early 20s. As she later said, “I wasn’t some cheap whore, I was an expensive one.” She got pregnant and had a kid when she was about 16, and alienated most of the family for a while. But, she has since settled down, gotten married, has a decent and pretty normal life. If she hadn’t had her kid, she might have just burned herself out and died young.

Triplets I went to school with from elementary on were featured in a “Girls of the Pacific” or something like that in Playboy. That was kind of weird. My college roommate was passing around some of the mags, I saw them and said, “Hey, those chicks lived down the street from me!” They were using pseudonyms in their profile. I think the guys only half believed I knew them.

At a party in LA I met guy who was, at that time, a prominent gay porn star. This was after he started doing porn, but still pretty early in his career. I had no idea who he was when I met him, though someone mentioned it later. Nice guy, smart, ambitious. As far as I know, the whole gay porn industry in LA imploded a few years later. No idea where he is or what he’s doing now.

I’ve met a few women here who said they’ve done some porn, including some fetish stuff, but I’ve never seen any of it personally. I ran into a couple of former students (probably about 17 or 18 at the time) who were “dating” guys way older than them; guys older than me, actually. I’m fairly sure those were enjo kôsai situations.

We went to high school together. But she was already an Olympic medalist at 14 or something, so it wasn’t before she was famous.

One of my bloggy friends realised with a big big shock that she used to be friends with Ice-T’s wife “Coco” as a teenager. Her post on that still makes me chuckle.

The thing is that she says it took her a few years to figure it out because of all the plastic surgery.

In sort of the same vein, I saw two copies of the same lesbian porn mag lying on my sister’s coffee table. That seemed a little out of character for her. Then she said “Check out the cover.” One of the women on the cover is a really good friend of her ex’s (only a vague acquaintance of mine).

She looked great, but it was hard to figure out what to say. “Hey, she made the cover of a porn mag!.. Good for her?”
