Would be great if you make some pure POV scenes
That would glorify your beautiful body, in particular your **** in missionary position

have a nice day!

What's funny is I just talked to James (the guy I've shot with numerous times) about this tonight.

Hey Dani,

The other day I watched your last 10 vlog videos and was pleased with what I heard concerning your academic and technology upgrade plans.

In dropping your three courses, I hope you had the good sense to do so before you accrued financial penalties for signing up for them in the first place. I guess you are now left with two courses, and it sounds like you are on track to complete them successfully. Keep it up.

I admire your attention to long-range planning. Given your assessment that finishing your degree will now take longer than you had hoped, it makes sense that you are seeking a non-DIY solution to the challenge of a site upgrade. I don't know the numbers of how you share revenue with the FTV folks, but you report that they don't see it in their interest to provide an upgrade to your site gratis, at least for now.

You say that you are now endeavouring to save the estimated $15,000 to do the upgrade you desire. I can't begin to tell you whether this is the best investment of your money or not, assuming that your only motive is financial gain. But I am inclined to agree that you should make your site mobile-friendly, because ever more everyday people are ditching the PC for a smart phone. (PC makers are staging a huge marketing campaign even now to try to get more people to buy a traditional PC again.) You should learn the term "responsive design" - read a bit about it at your old friend Wikipedia here.

It was once the hope that developing for the Web would be especially simple and cheap, because by its d?but, people understood how adoption of standards could help make this happen. Alas, the high-stakes competition fostered highly antagonistic interests, which means that accommodation of, and testing on, the most popular viewing platforms is needed today. Attempts to find common ground meet with limited success. There is the so-called "World Wide Web Consortium" (W3C) founded and headed by Web creator Sir Tim Berners-Lee, FRS and head-quartered at MIT. But it has limited practical power, despite what one might naively imagine is its moral authority.

For example, about three years ago W3C convened a community called WebPlatform.org that is charged with creating a set of online reference documents for Web standards. The project is a collaboration between W3C and many big or important digital software technology players - Adobe, Apple, Facebook, Google, HP, Microsoft, Mozilla, Nokia, and Opera. Alas, even today the project is only in "alpha" testing! (Learn the terms "alpha" and "beta" testing if you haven't already, e.g. here. ) And the most recent official blog entry is a year old! But at least the Web Platform project discusses responsive design, here.

I don't recall everything you spoke about concerning site redesign, but I do remember that you wanted to highlight the last few new shoots in a new way. May I offer the perspective of an outsider? To a new customer, EVERYTHING you've EVER done is "new"! So I suggest that you ALSO feature a single, random, rotating OLD item from your entire inventory on your "home page." You might even try experimenting with a (e.g. 10%) discount available ONLY during its limited tenure presence on your home page. "Artificial shortage" is a common, classic sales technique that forces maybe-buyers off the fence and into action.

Also note Web-based (i.e. automated) sales lets one collect MASSIVE amounts of sales intelligence at basically ZERO incremental cost, e.g. a complete, detailed record of ALL sales since company foundation. Such data would let you test things like the "price elasticity" of sales, e.g. how much did the number of sales per day increase (if at all) during the month you featured an item at discount, compared to that when it cost full-price? Interpreting such data requires a basic knowledge of statistical significance, which should MOTIVATE your close attention to such a math class in college!

Finally, I don't want to sew trouble where none exists, but have you ever taken a critical look at the issue of "Hollywood economics"? Since it is so costless to duplicate your snapshots and videos - there is no physical "product inventory" - it is also easy for people to make illicit copies. You are very well aware of this issue as regards your clients and customers, but the same considerations apply to your business partners who complete the actual sales activity, whether this means FTV, CCBill or anyone else. Anyone who makes money on unit sales (vs. production), like yourself, should ask if there is any way to audit whether the reported sales information is truthful. Remember that, even when audited by a "Big Five" accounting firm, Enron managed to "cook the books" to the downfall of oh-so-many innocents!

Best of luck in your academic and commercial efforts.

And don't forget that the virtual reality (VR) porn revolution is dawning now. The basic idea is that the viewer wears a headset that, at a minimum, can sense where he has twisted his head to provide an image which corresponds to such an orientation, giving the impression of IMMERSION in a real world.

Read a short, non-technical backgrounder article on VR porn here.

I see this as something FTV would like to get into for all its girls and I encourage you to raise the issue with them. This year will see the rollout of several VR headsets and so the time is now to start investigating what needs to be done to get ready for VR media production.

You might want to check out the reaction of viewers to VR porn documented by video here, among other places.

I think this development has the potential to be just as dramatic for porn as was the home video revolution!

Inspiration for your first virtual reality film? Enjoy Is Tropical's music video collaboration with Megaforce, titled Dancing Anymore, here.

Who wants to place bets when Danielle will start doing "Augmented Reality dates" at the place of a client's choosing, a la Pokemon GO? (Call the pegging version Poke-a-man COME instead, LOL?)

The past provides inspiration for our present creations! Did you know that the "facial" and "cream pie" were actually invented the SAME time, long ago?

Hey Dani,

I'd like to suggest you consider making some of your future videos hotter by setting their venue to a time and place in the past where sexual norms were far more repressive than they are today, e.g. 1950's America. You can suggest a retro setting not only with costumes and props, but also by converting the film to monochrome, and even adding 16mm-film style visual noise and projector sound effects; such things are possible with a single button click using any decent editor. (You can also offer the original color version as a bonus for clients to enjoy, should they prefer.)

A twist on this would be the "magical" pop-in appearance of a full-color Sex Fairy (you, clad in wings and all) from "the future," who liberates monochrome, fumbling, embarrassed, repressed lovers to fully enjoy the possibilities of 21st century style love making! For plot inspiration take a look at the film Pleasantville (1998), Wikipedia page here and trailer here. And for background material on the romantic culture of mid-century America, check out the video playlist here.
