You guys are my family, so I'll share a personal note: On Sep 6 I went in for a routine eye exam and they discovered I had a detached retina. It was serious enough that they felt like emergency surgery was necessary. I've had problems with my right eye dating back to 1987 when I was shot in the eye with a BB g*n so this wasn't shocking for me. The surgery was supposed to last an hour, but ended up taking 3.5 hours. Recovery is very difficult. I had to cancel two weeks of scenes (that is not why the Ryan Conner scene got canceled. Hers was supposed to be next week). I had to lay in bed for 7 days with my head turned to the side, and now I'm up and around but i'll be blind in that eye for possibly months and I have to wear an eye patch. I'm going to try to perform, so if you see me with a pirate eye patch, that's why. I'm in pain 24/7, so I'm a little bit cranky. I'll make it through this and I'll come out better and stronger. Thanks for all your support. :) --Glenn

Hi everyone - Ryan Conner canceled on us but we do hope to reschedule her. In the meantime we have upcoming scenes with a variety of performers: Ariana Starr, Stella Cloud (she's an alt performer. A little different, so we will have see you guys like her), Blake Blossom (one of the top performers in the industry), Sammy Stoner, Eva Notty, Victoria Vale, Linda Lan, Kimber Veils. As always, schedules are subject to change, and probably will! --Glenn

Hi everyone - Producing content is a business, and it's not easy to last 22 years like we have. Like any other business, I have to provide a safe working environment. That's both for legal reasons and (more importantly) ethical reasons. Just because someone is willing to do something that might cause injury doesn't mean we should do it. When you say "Glenn could you have a 225 pound model kneel on a guy's chest with full weight so we can see him struggle?, the answer is absolutely not. 1) the male talent is trusting me to not put him in a situation where he ends up with cracked ribs 2) If he does get cracked ribs, he can file a claim with the labor board or just sue me for negligence. I have to legally provide a level of safety that adheres to industry standards. Could we have Emma Rosie stand on a guy's chest? Sure! She weighs 80 pounds. But could we have Ryan Conner stand on a guy's chest or even ride him around like a pony with full weight? No. Jack's employment with us lasts one day. Hopefully he has another job the next day. If he gets hurt on my set, he will lose money by not being able to work the next day (and maybe future work with that company for canceling on them). It's not right for me to put my performers in danger. So please don't ask for things like that. Try to enjoy the things we do - Ass worship, Foot Worship, Facesitting, Femdom. --Glenn

OK… let’s talk about female casting. Before we begin this discussion, you need to understand a little about how the industry works. There are two different types of performers: those that are in the “mainstream talent pool”, and those who are primarily “creators”. Performers who are in the mainstream talent pool usually have an agent. They work 10-15 times a month (could be more could be less). They get STD tested every two weeks, and then they use that test for as many scenes as they can within a two week period. The agent negotiates rates for them and handles booking dates and helps with travel (if necessary). Most small companies (like MeanBitches) rely on this talent pool for our performers. Booking them is much easier than trying to book a creator. When you book a talent through an agency, you contact them and say “I have a scene on July 18. I’d like to book so-and-so if she’s available and interested. Here’s what the scene entails and how much it pays”. You usually have an answer within an hour, and if the answer is “not available” you can move on to the next person on your list. A creator (for the purposes of this discussion) is someone who primarily makes content for their own use, like on Onlyfans. Creators usually make content by doing content trades. That’s when they contact each other on social media, say “hey I’d like to shoot a scene with you”, and then they go back and forth talking about what dates work for both of them and agree on a location and time. It might take a few weeks of going back and forth to agree upon the date. Because performers don’t get paid for content trades (they both get rights to use the content), a very high percentage of content trades get canceled or postponed. Content trades are often shot on each other’s phones. Sometimes a content creator will have their own crew. A content creator might be someone who started in the industry on Onlyfans and hasn’t shot a lot of porn, or it might be someone who built a brand as a pornstar and then started focusing on her own content. For example, Alexis Texas made her name as a pornstar and now she makes tons of money as a creator. She might do some content trades to get content for her sites, and I heard that she did a new scene for Jules Jordan, but she doesn’t have an agent and she doesn’t work within the mainstream talent pool of porn. If you look at her twitter, you don’t see a lot of trailers for scenes (because she’s not performing in a lot of scenes!). Sure, she might do a scene for someone like Jules who can pay an exorbitant amount, but most companies simply can’t afford her. MeanBitch Productions is a small company and to complicate things even more, most of our scenes are not hardcore, so the rate is lower. Like any other small business, I have a budget and must make sound business decisions to succeed. MeanBitch Productions has been around for 22 years! Companies simply don’t last that long unless you make sound business decisions. So the first thing you need to realize is that I’m mostly limited to performers who are in the mainstream talent pool. I’d love to shoot Sophie Dee! I’d love to shoot CJ Miles! I’d love to shoot a new Kiara Mia scene! But those performers aren’t doing regular porn for small companies. They make content for themselves and sometimes for the very biggest companies who know they can make a profit on their scenes. I’d love to shoot them, but realistically…. It’s not going to happen. So before you suggest a performer, if you are serious about it, check her twitter and see if she lists a talent agency that represents her (not a manager or Onlyfans management company - an actual licensed and bonded talent agency). If she doesn’t have an agent, it’s probably not going to happen. The second thing to look at is “Does she live in the USA”. If a performer isn’t here, I can’t shoot her. If she visits her from Brazil but does not have a work VISA or whatever you need to legally work in the USA, I can’t shoot her. So those are two things you can check before you even suggest her for casting: 1) does she have an agent 2) does she live in the USA. I have much more to talk about but I’m going to put it in a part 2. NOTE: if you post your casting list of who you want here, I’m not going to put up a lot of info about specific performers. If you are a subscriber to the site and send me a private message, I’ll go through your list one by one and tell you what I can about the probability of shooting her. In part 2, I'll talk more about what we are looking for when casting female performers. --Glenn
