Out of the Mouths of Babes
Newbies have their say on
‘Hot Girls Wanted’
FEATURE
A lot of pundits both inside and out of the adult industry have
pontificated about the spotlight that the new documentary
Hot Girls Wanted shines (or fails to) on the recruitment
of young women into the so-called “pro-am porn”
world. We certainly have thoughts of our own
on the movie, including a couple of questions:
1) just how “pro-am” the sector of the industry
depicted can be considered given that a talent
agent and major-distribution production labels
have hands in it; and 2) why this particular
agent recruiting girls via Craigslist is anything
other than the modern-day equivalent of Jim South
doing so via the back page of LA Weekly in 1982.
But one group that hasn’t been given a formal
platform to speak their minds on HGW, ironically, is the
very one whose story it purports to tell: the industry’s
current class of “fresh” starlets. And so we gave them
one. We asked a group of up-and-comers—all no older
than 21 and active in porn no longer than about a
year—what they thought of the movie and a couple of the
issues it raises. A sampling of their answers follows.
