"Jesus ... This is almost too easy," I think to myself as Crystal opens the door and walks in. She's attractive, like most of the girls. She looks to be early 20s, maybe a bit older—slender, modest boobs but a nice tight ass. She has short, bobbed brown hair that gives her fine-featured face an almost elven look. Cuter than most.
"Hi, I'm John," I say, quickly checking to see that the camera on my desk is recording as I stretch out my hand.
"Crystal," she says. Her voice sounds more confident than most of the girls. But that doesn't mean much. All of the girls that come to "audition" for me fancy themselves budding actresses; some—not many—actually have a little talent (in the acting department, I mean—they all have the talents I'm interested in). I figure Crystal is one of those with a bit of acting ability. I'm betting she isn't at all sure of herself. None of them are. These girls are naïve and always a little scared.
"Crystal ... That's a pretty name. Have a seat," I say, gesturing toward the couch across from my desk. I'm sure 'Crystal' isn't her real name but I'm not going to challenge her now. Part of my job, early on, is to put the girls at ease. I have to establish a rapport with them. They're invariably uncomfortable and nervous. They walk through the door not really knowing what to expect. I mean, they know what they're here for but they don't know what it will feel like. If I come off just as a decent guy—the kind of guy they can talk with—they're immediately relieved. Suddenly they don't have to think this is a weird, dirty thing.
"So how're you doing, Crystal? Did you have any trouble finding the office?"
"I'm fine. And none at all." She looks around the office. "But I must say, it's not exactly what I'd expected."
"How's that?"
"Well, in the first place, it's in a really nice office building."
"Nothing but the best," I chime in as she goes on.
"And your office is all decorated ..."
"Oh, I see," I say. "You've looked at some of the audition videos on line—the ones where there's a bare office." Crystal nods slightly. "Well, I'm a legit agent. I don't work like that."
I can see her relax a bit and I know this is working. I'm good at this. The girls quickly come to trust me.
"Can I get you something to drink?" I ask.
"No, it's too early."
"I meant a soft drink or water or something." You'd be surprised, though, how many times the girl goes for a glass of wine. And then gulps it nervously.
"Sure, some water would be nice."
I get her a glass of ice water from the credenza under the window. When I hand it to her, I'm careful to allow our hands to brush together. Making a casual and non-threatening contact like that helps to put the girls at ease.
"How old are you, Crystal?"
"Twenty-three," she answers quickly.
"I need to see your I.D." And then, for the first time, she hesitates.
"Well, Crystal, I can't do this without positively verifying your age."
She's shifts nervously on the couch. "No, of course not. How silly of me." But, still, she's reluctant.
"Crystal's not your real name, right?" I say in as casual and non-accusatory tone as I can. She doesn't respond right away, not even with a nod. "That's okay. You'd be surprised how many girls don't give me their real names at first. You can use whatever name you want professionally. That's fine. But I need to know your real name, and age."
She seems to relax again and pulls her driver's license out of her purse. She gets up and walks to the desk, her hand extended with the license. I scrutinize her as she does but try not to let her know that I'm appraising her.
She goes up in my ranking. Her breasts are not large, but they're nicely shaped—at least they seem so with her clothes on. She's wearing a tight knit top with a scoop neckline. She's got a bra on but it's obviously a thin one. She's wearing a short, tight skirt and her legs are slender and smooth. And I notice again what a tight, high butt she has. This is going to be good, I decide.
Well, she wasn't lying about her age. She is twenty-three. But her name is Sandra Betson. I put her driver's license in the scanner, make an electronic copy of it, and hand it back to her.
"So, Sandra ..."
"Sandy, please."
"Okay: Sandy. Tell me a little about yourself. What do you do now and why do you want to get into adult films?"
"Well, I did a couple of years of college, but it wasn't really my thing." She takes a drink of water before going on. "Since I left school, I've been mostly waiting tables. That's kind of boring and you can't make really good money, at least not at the places where I've gotten jobs."
"I need the money," she continues, "and I'm not inhibited. I like my body and I don't mind showing it off. I like sex and I'm ... well, I'm adventurous." She laughs, a little nervously.
"Well, that's all good," I tell her. "You can certainly make a lot of money in the adult film business—especially a gorgeous and fresh-faced girl like you." I always say something like this to the girls. Flattery will get you everywhere in this game. But Crystal ... Sandy, I mean ... really is gorgeous I now think.
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"No. Why?"
