Porn Star Savannah Stern Trades Mercedes CLK350 for Her Parents' Chevrolet Trailblazer

Eagle-eyed, infinitely patient TTAC editor Jeff Puthuff spotted this story in the LA Times: “Less than two years ago, [porn star Savannah] Stern earned close to $150,000 annually, sometimes turned down work and drove a Mercedes-Benz CLK 350. Now she’s aggressively reaching out for jobs and making closer to $50,000 a year. As for that Mercedes? She’s replacing it with a used Chevy Trailblazer — from her parents. ‘The opportunities in this industry really are disappearing,’ Stern said. ‘It’s extremely stressful.'” Hey! I know a really good way to relieve stress! Anyway, it seems the Internet is doing to Silicone—I mean San Fernando Valley’s porn industry what Silicon Valley did to Armonk, New York’s computer industry. And you’ve got to give Ms. Stern credit for tightening her belt. So to speak. If only the feds could appreciate the benefits of austerity. * cough Gulstream jets cough *

    She does porn vids, and her parents still support her financially!? Talk about indulgent parents.

    ajla: that was Savannah [no last name]. Blonde. And "True Hollywood Story" feature. @ John Horner: because Hollywood long ago established the legality of putting hookers in front of cameras and calling them movie stars.It's show business. The other, well that's just icky nasty amateur sex. For money. This is art. Good grief.

    I wonder how prostitutes are doing right now. I don't know about the USA, but my Canadian sources say they're hurting (in Canada, non-streetwalker prostitution is decriminalized). The boom times are over - the newbie young competition is hungrier, the customers are more frugal, and many of their US clients are having problems with the new border regs. +1 to psarhjinian regarding today's porn and IT employment. Programmers and digital cameramen can make a good living in the biz.

    Flashpoint : If struggling women ever got the idea that selling sex was safe, profitable and could get them the things they wanted, every decent girl out there would turn into a whore with an OLD BENZ. I consider that an insult to decent women!
