No More COD with AIM

As a result of certain unnamed members of the talent pool stiffing AIM for money [one major shouting match in particular last week], AIM Healthcare has rescinded its COD policy regarding PCR-DNA testing. Which means, simply, you pay when you get tested, not when you receive the test results.

Sharon Mitchell: "As of last Friday AIM has had to officially kill our COD policy. We tallied it up to several thousand [dollars] where we got burnt. These are people that we all know and love. It's just been too difficult for us not to be able to provide these people with good, timely services. They cut their own throats. They don't pay us, then they come in the next month, and everything has to stop because they need a test. Our policy is clearly posted on the wall. Any outstanding COD's must be paid first. You are not extended another COD. We've had people who just refuse to pay bounced check charges; and people who get their HIV tests and don't bother to come in and pay for it if they don't hear from me, figuring they aren't positive. It's just typical antics that happen. We haven't had an HIV. The system works really well, so people think they'll be alright, again. It's a mess. We like to like everyone here. We don't want to get pissed at people, but we're getting pissed at people.

"Another thing that's happening is that poor planning on your [the talents'] part, is not an emergency on our part. We cannot get these tests back any faster than the 24-hour turnaround. It doesn't mean the middle of the next morning because you're on the set - and bothering and harassing me and telling the production managers to call me every hour to try to get it faxed. It doesn't come in any sooner than 5pm. And then we have to process it.

"This liquid condom-thing is doing real well here. We've been dispersing it among the community now for about four weeks. We've seen a noticeable drop in chlamydia-gonorrhea positive testing. We've also brought our chlamydia-gonorrhea-urine tests down to $55 each.

"This product is pretty amazing and has done real well. I've only gotten one complaint from one guy and he was new. He said it caused his erection to go down. But most of the pros like Sean Michaels and Dave Cummings, they love it; the girls love it because they can put it inside and they don't have to worry. It's water soluble lube, you can douche it right out. It has a 99.9% kill rate of chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, sperm, Hepatitis B and C, herpes, HPV and syphilis. It's working great. We have enough samples for everyone so come on in and have some. I think we're going to start selling it pretty soon."

Tawny Ocean has this to say about the comments from Hustler's Mark Cromer and Larry Flynt, Jr. posted yesterday in response to allegations made by Ocean but "unprofessionalism" at LFP regarding alleged cancellations of a Jail Babes shoot.

Ocean: "I know they they were going to do that. Only there's somebody else involved - James Bonn, the actor. They can lie all they want about me, but they also had him drive all the way there [to Pomona]. I'm going to have James Bonn call you. It's one thing to lie about one person but they messed up when they lied about two people. It's not right. My agent up north is telling me not one girl is coming down to do Hustler."
