Adult performers Domina X (also known as Vanessa Blue) and Eve Mayfair have launched XGirl, the first black female-owned and operated, talent management company. XGirl will be geared specifically for black women in the adult industry.
Domina X is precise about her company’s distinction as a management firm, rather than a talent agency. “We cater to business-minded talent,” Domina X explained, “rather than simply just the adult actress. We want to represent talent that diversifies their forms of income, by assisting the talent in things like mainstream magazines, website management, feature dancing and signings…anything else that they’re into.”
Domina X also talks about helping the girls with what she calls “fan maintenances.”
“We stress that talent needs to keep in touch with their fans. If you’re in 100 movies, how many fans is that? And how many of those fans can you get to subscribe to your website? If you don’t keep that communication up, those fans are just going to move on to something else.”
Domina X explains that she and Mayfair started XGirl because “there is no one around that will show these ladies how to achieve longevity in this industry.” She and Mayfair look forward to cultivating talent and providing professional guidance in an industry that usually burns girls out in a few months.
Currently, Blue, Mayfair and XGirl have signed seven girls: Michelle Tucker, Tai Lavay, Fetish Fatalle, Kapri Styles, Michelle Tucker, Roxy Reynolds and Vida Valentine. “There will be more signings in the near future,” Domina X explains. “Once we got the word out there we’ve been approached by dozens of girls, which we hope will keep happening.”
Domina X makes it clear that she has no interest in representing talent that will be quickly burned out and replaced. "I found a need for experienced, knowledgeable management to assist talent in achieving their career goals when I decided to start XGirl," said Domina X, who has over eight years of experience as a performer, producer, editor, director and Web mistress. "I approached Eve Mayfair with the idea after working with her, and she was very receptive. She also saw the need for someone who could provide guidance in an industry with so much opportunity."
“We are interested in the rebirth of the well-rounded, adult film star.”
Representatives and talent from the firm are also scheduled to have ongoing appearances on the Sirus Satellite Radio’s “Private Calls."
