Reign Why feature dancing is important to my career
It’s similar to signing at conventions, such as the AVN Adult
Entertainment Expo, so that people can see who’s behind the
character they see in movies. It also shows fans I care about
them, and they appreciate me traveling across the country to
meet them. Performing on stage puts me directly into my fans’
experience. I enjoy entertaining people. I can sell merchandise
and give lap dances afterward, making my trip much more
lucrative.
For my brand, I find it pertinent to do things like feature
dancing to broaden my target audience. Some brand building
even comes by word of mouth from fans and patrons who
see my performances. I give my performances my all and am
sure to incorporate full routines, costumes and a customized
playlist as well as games and props so the club is entertained
and the customers are happy!
It’s a great idea to have someone on my side who can plan
important details and contact the clubs for me, as well as
promote my appearances and make sure any requests I have
get met. Having an agent, like the Lee Network, has helped me
tremendously. I wouldn’t recommend being an independent
contractor, as it’s important to have a middleman negotiating
on my behalf.
I wouldn’t want to handle all the small details, as well as
learn the ins and outs of the strip club industry—that’s a
job in and of itself. It’s much easier to focus on my career
and goals, as well as my routines and how to best engage
One way I earn an income and travel the world is through feature dancing. There are so many talented
girls out there, and shooting adult scenes is competitive, and it’s important to diversify your audience.
I’ve learned to take my career to the next level featuring. Feature dancing is much like touring for
musicians. It keeps me meeting new fans and performing live for tons of people while offering a unique
and personalized experience, which helps me stand out. It shows industry colleagues and my fans, the
Reigndeer, that I want to give them my time. When featuring, I can literally get face to face with my
fans and provide them with a fun night that they will always remember, while also building my brand
along the way.
fans, while my agency has my back. I know my limits and
boundaries now, so I don’t get burned out, and I communicate
those to my agent, which I would highly recommend for any
girl to do before starting this profession. Your agent is there to
make you feel comfortable and get your needs met, so you can
focus on having fun and entertaining, all while making a good
living. I’m thankful to the Lee Network for making things easy
for me, so I can enjoy doing what I love!

Gamma Entertainment Redesigns BSkow.com
Gamma Entertainment has redesigned the BSkow.com
membership website to include several new features for fans of
B. Skow’s taboo features. Skow and his creative team—dubbed
“dirty minds at work”—have assembled the groundwork to add
newly released content directly to web.
Skow, known for his out-of-the-box style of directing,
remarked, “As part of the rebranding of BSkow.com, I wanted to
emphasize the most important thing in redesigning the site, and
that’s content. So when you come to BSkow.com, you’re getting
the best and boldest of what I have to offer, including new
releases.”
According to the team at FameDollars, the content is not the
only thing that’s bold about the newly revamped membership
hub. “BSkow’s new design is bold, colorful and shows off the
site’s diverse content. Since the site has grown so much from
when it was first launched, we wanted to make sure users could
easily see how many videos it now has to offer. A mix of over-
the-top, story-driven scenes and good old-fashioned gonzo sex
should give affiliates a lot of opportunity to promote this high-
end site.”
Viewers who access BSkow.com can expect more than
240 scenes with performers such as August Ames, Romi
Rain, Adriana Chechik, Megan Rain, Chanel Preston, Dakota
Skye, Katrina Jade, Ana Foxxx, JoJo Kiss, Anikka Albrite,
Jasmine Jae, Carter Cruise and more. The male talent featured
includes Xander Corvus, Danny Mountain, Chad White, Jon Jon,
Tommy Pistol and Mick Blue.
“I’ve worked with the best of the best,” adds Skow. “When I’m
shooting, it’s all about showcasing the talent. Now we’ve created
a fantastic online venue where we can showcase the work.”
Members have already seen the premiere of exclusive content
with a scene starring August Ames and Danny Mountain, and
another featuring Katrina Jade and Markus Dupree—both from
BSkow’s new release Sexually Explicit 10.
