The Train Wreck of Heidi Fleiss....
Last night, while letting my brain rot watching mindless television, a documentary about Heidi Fleiss came on to HBO. I have alays been very interested in this woman and the way she started her career as a Madame, etc so I sat up to watch, what i thought would be a "getting her life back together after prison" story. Wow, was I wrong. atching this sho was like going past a horrific car accidnet that you don't want to look at but actually cannot tear your eyes away from.
Here is this woman, with no family or friends around her, in the middle of an isolated desert town surrounded by birds she inherited from another former madame who had recently died (also alone). Clearly she has drug habit, or mental illness caused by the trauma of prison, or possibly both. I think if I ever have children and I am trying to teach them "don't do drugs" I'll just show them some of the footage from this programme.
She reminded me of people I know, and have known in the sex industry: the one that came to mind the most was Kym Wilde. I don't know where she is now, and I hope by some miracle she has found a genuinely good man and has a functional relationship (actually, she was Marty's girlfriend before I came along LOL). That was what was the saddest part of this documentary (at least for me) was that some people will never have a strong bond with someone else, they'll never experience the closeness that can be shared between 2 people.

I had the same feeling watching that Heidi Fleiss documentary. She's not being creative and adventurous as it was marketed. She is just barely hanging on. And even if she hits paydirt, she probably still wont have the smarts to set aside money for retirement or health care.
I am actually VERY encouraged by the intelligence that seems to be a part of KINK.com and other newer porn ventures (you included.) There should be more to being a porn model than a life of drugs and abuse followed by a search for a sugar daddy when the looks fade.
I enjoy my porn, but I don't want to ruin other peoples lives for my 45 minutes of pleasure.
