This place is amazing! It’s called Nygard Cay and is owned by Peter Nygard the Canadian fashion designer who is a true “rags to riches” story in his own right. Playboy just finished shooting at Nygard Cay and another gentlemen’s magazine is currently interested in shooting there… but I won’t mention the name just in case!

Isn’t it beautiful?

The adult modeling business has really become over saturated lately with lots of the same material. The internet has allowed the opportunity for too many people to produce the same materials. I see glamour e-zines varying from bikini models to naked women that are filled with the same materials, and most are free or charge a very low fee. The quality ranks from poor to phenomenal. However, the problem with many is that photographers and models are producing lots of free material because they can’t get the audience to pay… they aren’t different enough. This also means that those publishers who have the capability to produce printed work are also helping models and photographers even more by separating them from the mass of web production with printed tear sheets.
The audience of the glamour industry seems to want more than ever though. Print just isn’t fully cutting it. The glamour audience wants to be “evidence free”, by accessing adult materials via the internet. There are websites popping up all over the internet featuring girls that paying members can interact with such as Suicide Girls and Gods Girls. In the strip clubs clients are pressing dancers to “turn tricks”, because apparently dancing just isn’t enough and many clients can easily purchase the full package from a local escort at a reasonable price. I hear escorts complain that clients never want to pay their full fee, even though sometimes it’s less than what they would pay at a strip club. It’s the “give an inch and they’ll take a mile” syndrome.
It seems to me though, after years working in the clubs, that most of the adult and glamour audience prefers mystery… even though many would never admit to it. Remember watching the television show “Home Improvement”? How many of you wanted for years to see the rest of Wilson’s face, which was hidden for years behind the backyard fence or some other item? The show once aired and episode which featured Wilson’s face and I would venture to guess the show’s ratings probably spiked for that one episode. Many of us could have searched the internet for the actor’s face… but we didn’t. Deep down inside we love the mystery.
Keeping the mystery means that many clients will return, always hoping to get more, yet deep inside knowing that they don’t want the full thing. Americans especially love the mystery, which is why so many seem to love having celebrities. We get to see bits and pieces of a celebrity’s life, maybe even meet them, but rarely do our lives become entangled. That’s good though, because often times the “Hollywood version” is much more interesting than the real thing.
So the question is, what are adult and glamour magazines, e-zine and websites still not producing that you want to see? Keep in mind that I know you all still want some mystery. What could help set web, printed or even DVD material apart from what is already out there?
