That certain Standard;

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

Have you ever seen an episode of Xtra, Entertainment Tonight or E! News? Well if you haven’t, Ill fill you in…These are shows where it’s all about celebrity news and gossip and what’s going on in their personal lives. Now I’m not saying I’m anywhere near or coming close to celebrity status, but what I am saying is that just because they are performers, actors and entertainers, the public eye views them as one of the highest class of people on this earth. And let’s face it; probably 98% of the general public will never live the lives they live, or even get a glimpse on how they live. That’s why people are so infatuated with the lives of celebrities; they can’t live a life like them so they keep up with what’s going on in their life. And these celebrities have to keep up with a certain standard, weather that be dressing a certain way, talking a certain way or living a certain way.

And the same rule applies to any entertainer; weather that be a singer, a dancer, a moviestar or pornstar, the general public will always hold these select few people to a certain standard. Weather that be a good thing or bad, that’s the way it has been and always will be. So that means for the people who are in the entertainment business, they also have to hold their selves to a certain standard because you never know who your gonna meet or what your gonna do. We, the people in the entertainment business, have to learn how to carry ourselves a certain way, act a certain way and live a certain way in order to make it in this business. I mean, think about it; for example, what words come to mind when you think of Beyonce?  Beautiful? Stunning? Gorgeous? These words come to mind because that’s how she carries herself. You wouldn’t see her coming out on stage dressed all ghetto-fabulous would you? No. Because she knows what the public wants and expects out of her. And the same idea carries over to the porn industry.

Myself, being in such a demanding industry, is starting to finally learn the tricks of the trade. Whenever I go out anywhere, I know that there is always a chance of someone recognizing me, and if that were to happen while I was not upholding myself to that certain standard, then the fan would lose interest quickly. Fans don’t look up to someone who is similar to themselves, they look up to a certain image and in most cases, try their best to imitate that image. For example, Hannah Montana. How many little girls out there do you think they try their best to do everything JUST like her? Millions upon millions. So for someone in this business to live their life like a hot mess, more than likely they would be scrutinized under the public eye.

But I wouldn’t trade this life for anything in the world. No matter how stressful this job may get at times, I know that it’s all gonna be worth it in the end. And if that requires me to push myself to get to that certain standard, well then by God you better believe that I’m gonna push like I’ve never been pushed before. Every day I strive to uphold this standard, weather I make it or not, I know at least I’m trying my best to live the life I’ve always dreamed of.

Until next time,

ya boyy,
