Meet the newest XLGirls hottie October 6!
I’ve got to applaud the studio reps once again. They have found another winner for XLGirls.com. This pretty, 21-year-old rookie will be debuting October 6th and 7th in her first pictorial and video. The adventurous type, she packs 38H cups and even toys her cookie and butthole with two gadgets at the same time.
Impressive because before this trip to XLGirls, she’s only taken pictures of herself at home.
Right from the snap, I was very impressed because in the opener of the video “Freshgirl,” she tells our lenscrafter Jose that she works in an adult store next to a strip club. As soon as I heard her say that, she had me.
“People ask me why I’m not in the back instead of working in the front,” our new arrival says. Easy to understand why they ask her that with tits like she has. I’m sure she’s good for business in the store instead of being hidden in a dark club.
What are the odds of walking into any adult product shop and seeing someone who looks like this behind the counter? Trust me, the odds are bad. I know.
If I owned an adult store, I’d only hire employees like this. So sue me for job discrimination.
Pop-up quiz: There was another girl who was working as a clerk in an adult store when she became an XLGirls model a couple of years ago. What’s her name?
Anyone?
Anyone?
Bueller?

Adult stores should hire more girls who look like Harmony Bliss.
The Internet has changed everything. Some things for the better, other things for the worse. What’s on my mind today is somewhere in the middle. I live literally two blocks from an adult mega-store. I can walk there in five minutes. I used to drop in once a week to look at all the new mags, products and DVDs. I’d look at our products, see what was missing and what needed stocking. I’d talk to the clerks (some good, some apathetic) and ask how our products were selling and what suggestions they might have. It’s not one of my job functions but I like to do it because I think it’s important. But I haven’t walked into the place in five weeks. I keep meaning to go but I don’t. And my inertia, my laziness, is partly because of the Internet. The Net has made people lazier and less inclined to physically get out of the house and go somewhere. Ten years ago, when I lived in Las Vegas, I’d get in my car and drive two miles to Showgirl Video once a week to see what TSG products were on sale and what everyone was releasing. Now I don’t walk five minutes to my local store once a week. This is not good because I should be supporting my local store more often.

Many independent store and chain-store owners have put money into their properties (besides paying their lawyers for the never-ending court battles). The industry has changed and a lot of stores are no longer the dumpy smut parlors they used to be. They’ve gone upscale: bright, clean, nicely decorated, safer, computerized, and they have a better level of employee. There’s even an adult store trade show this September in Vegas called StorErotica. Many stores are geared to the comfort and security of the female customer, selling clothes, shoes and other feminine goods. Did you know that Voluptuous Girl and sexologist Sabina Leigh used to work in an adult store in Colorado? She once emailed me that Voluptuous was getting hard to get in her area so I contacted our management and they corrected the situation.
The adult retail business has always been difficult to operate since day one. Communities don’t want them so they ghettoize them. The police bust them for whatever. Prosecutors prosecute them. Courts punish, restrict and fine them. Civic groups give them a hard time. Yet they survive and endure against all odds. But I believe the greatest threat comes from technology. Like the VHS tape wiped out the adult movie theaters in the 1980s, the Net is threatening the neighborhood adult store as well as the adult “downtown” sections of many American cities. Why drive, walk or take public transport to a store to buy a magazine or a DVD or a sex toy when you can do it on-line anonymously without leaving your home? For me, the reason is I like physically browsing in a brick-and-mortar store, looking at all the stuff. But that inertia is even hitting me. And that’s not positive for the retailers.
What about you? Do you still go to adult stores?
