It's no secret that I have trouble finding actresses in this @#%$& podunk area that I live in. I love Lexington and Kentucky, but damn it! As it is, 95% of the ladies I have worked with come from out of state. Many drive 3 plus hours to shoot and make the long drive back home. So, one of the perceived perks of shooting a more mainstream content was going to be an easier route to the talent. And this looked like it was going to work out. I got a bunch of responses from some really good prospects (attractive people with some real talent) and everything was set in motion. BUT, now I've had to cancel two shoots in two weeks because of the same flaky crap I get with models. Last minute cancellations, my car broke down, I got called in to work, I'm sick, or the very best result is when they don't even bother to notify you they aren't going to make it. Yay! This is compounded when you are trying to shoot 2 or 3 people in a clip, instead of one.

The studio is really a great deal for me, but the truth is, with my budgets, I have to use that space quite a bit to make it cost effective. A month like July where I only got two shoots in, is a budget ball-breaker. Throw in the money that goes to everyone who does show up, like professional people are supposed to, and the burden grows. People are understanding to a point, and they will usually take gas and lunch money for a cancelled shoot. I have to pay the utilities, and either mow the lawn (which is not small) or pay a service to do it. All these extra costs are not bad when you have enough shoots to absorb them. And it's apparent that I can't use Koa and Lucia for every clip, because the sales show there is some buyer fatigue with over-using the same gals over and over. And blah-blah-blah...you guys don't want to hear me itemize every bullshit thing I have to deal with.
I just had to vent and I appreciate everyone indulging me.

Okay, now that my pity party is over I wanted to let you guys know that future script episodes will go up only on  the Patreon page. Now that I've gotten a ton of feedback from putting it here on DA, it's only fair to the Patrons to give them the exclusive look at the new stuff. It's only $3 to get scripts and occasional pics for even that level. The truth is, without Patreon, July would have been a disaster for me. All of you awesome Patrons have really helped keep us going.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!

That sounds more than frustrating, I know it can be really hard to find models in that area. I wish I had more money to donate to you, I always love seeing all the awesome and sexy content you put out! :)
