I would like to know more about this studio.

How the idea of creating this studio came about. Who were the people responsible for it.

Its history, when it opened and what led to its closure.

Were the shooting conditions the same as in the European studio at that time?

Was the enthusiasm of the clients the same for the American women, as for the European women for example?

Is a return of a studio in America possible or not? If not, why not?


J'aimerais en savoir plus sur ce studio.

Comment est venu l'idée de créer ce studio. Qui en était les personnes responsables.

Son historique, la date de son ouverture et ce qui a ammené sa fermeture.

Les conditions de tournage étaient-elles les même qu'au studio européen à cette époque ?

L'enthousiasme des clients était-il le même pour les femmes américaines, que les femmes européennes par exemple.

Un retour d'un studio en Amérique est-il envisageable ou non. Si non pourquoi ?

iStripperに関する全て / More variety of models

We're opening a studio in Vegas to be able to bring more variety of models.

Son historique, la date de son ouverture et ce qui a ammené sa fermeture.

Je pense que la France devait sous-traiter à une boite de production locale incluant les castings locaux. Et cela devait être probablement une mésentante d'ordre financier.

Les conditions de tournage étaient-elles les même qu'au studio européen à cette époque ?

Par moment leurs éclairages étaient surexposés, ceci dit les choix artistiques et vestimentaires étaient selon moi meilleurs qu'en France. (un comble quand on songe à notre histoire)

L'enthousiasme des clients était-il le même pour les femmes américaines, que les femmes européennes par exemple.

La différence était de taille car ils avaient à leur disposition et sans grands déplacements des miss habituées à tourner dans les cabarets américains et en matière de pole dance et présentation scénique c'était et c'est encore le jour et la nuit.

Ni songez même pas, c'est de l'histoire ancienne.😎

That was from 2016, 7 years ago, how about in 2023?

Well, they did float the possibility of a new studio but in Japan and not in America. It was a fairly big 'if' I thought but I hope for the best. 😕😎

Celine talked about another American studio back when they were selling NFT...and Rex has said it would presumably be in Florida this time. I don't see it happening though. Totem can expand their America catalog if they worked with the Vixen Media Group. This group shoots totem's most popular girls from europe and they do cast American girls, who fly to Europe, to complete shoots. Allie Nicole, Avery Christy, Gianna Dior, Emily Willis, Mia Melano, Lana Rhodes have all shot in Europe, some of them in Paris and weren't casted by Totem. Totem has yet to shoot during one of these visits. Not sure if it is a cost thing or just scheduling. It is the one area that is disappointing to me because I am sure they could get some of the girls if the price was right and with the gambling, special event, the premium mark-up, the mobile site subscription, and the NFT I would think they would be willing to spend a little more to improve the catalog or at least make it more diverse.

Oh ok. Must have missed that.

1. Studio was more expensive and totem couldn't control the quality of the product in terms photos and videos.
2. They tried to pay America models more similar to European models and couldn't build a very good catalog...cost of living in L.A and Las Vegas is ridiculous and pornstars must ask for more money. America doesn't have the constant flow of model beautiful girls from Russia and Ukraine like Europe does...
3. Totem then decided to pay much more for models and were able to get some good shows like Mia Malkova but these didn't sell well enough to justify the costs. Customers want professionals but aren't going to pay more for a pro-stripper with tats and anything fake...that has been proven. A tat-free girl from Ukraine or Russia who will do xxx seems the best bet for success.
4. Totem lost a lot of money on the America studio initially but probably has made it back as it helps sell the product to mainstream porn viewers and American users.
5. I actually think totem just needs to be more proactive about non-european models coming to Paris...they could have shot most of the best american girls without an american studio if they wanted.

1. Studio was more expensive and totem couldn't control the quality of the product in terms photos and videos.

I don't know a lot about the finances but all this seems pretty much on target from what I remember.

For me personally the problem was the production quality; I never could figure out why they couldn't get it right but the only 'American' produced show that I found tolerable was Uma Jolie .. the rest were really pretty bad in one way or the other and usually bad in every way. And it wasn't the model fault .. many were very appealing everywhere except here. Most were hardcore pornstars I think; maybe it would have been better with softcore or nude models but I doubt it. Probem was the studio and or production team; changing that was the only hope for a fix.

I don't think Totem cares one way or the other; they are fine with the current talent. It's probably more profitable and just easier for them. Not sure how Melody Marks ended up on IS but I suspect she found them and not the other way around. And I'm glad she did!

Stilled bummed they didn't get Malena Morgan back in the day .. had my hopes up in spite of the poor quality; there were several others I was hoping for as well but can't remember who they were at the moment but they missed more than they got in terms of talent. I think they had a US partnership which limited the options.

Maybe different locations could inspire some setting variety in VR shows ... different rooms/furniture of a house/apt, outdoors, etc ...

in japan? it should be interesting to get japanese/asian girls anyway, florida or japan it's a yes for me if it's happen xD

Effectivement USA ou un autre pays, le plus important serait d'avoir de la nouveauté sur le plan artistique avec des contenus orientés différemment, peut-être liés à une approche culturelle autre. C'est avant tout une affaire de métier et de sensibilité.

The only way America would work is if totem joined or worked with Vixen media group and had a set of models lined up for them and the other company could subsidize a different studio in America. Never know, might happen since istripper is almost impossible to pirate and might become more and more attractive as porn stars become fewer and fewer and the products get harder and harder to monetize.

@orclover - I am intrigued by one of your comments - "as porn stars become fewer and fewer".

Are you referring to worldwide, just in America or what? I am curious 😊

I would say that the emergence and growth of "Only Fans" puts more emphasis on the girls self-managing and that does present an issue as Totem prefer to deal with agencies.

There are quite of few women here in South Florida. A ton of strip clubs that used to get my cash till VirtualGirl came along . I dont miss the overpriced beers , the girls lousy Biker boyfriends , the smell , dirty bathrooms . And I am sure most young women do not like that enviroment either and most would prefer actingin a studio rather than a meat market .
Come too Florida , If there is anyway I can help ? Here is a friend of mine on instagram Subitostudios, http;//wwwinstagram.com/subitostudios/

Some time ago Totem's CEO said that they had found it extremely difficult to recruit girls who performed in strip clubs. I do not know this should be the case (if I remember correctly it had something to do with the relative, short lived, anonymity of working in a club compared with being on the internet). @Wyldanimal confirmed that he had a similar experience with something he was attempting to run.

Les filles de strip-club marchent au fric et rien que ça donc si tu veux en recruter il faut les payer en conséquence. C'est juste une histoire de fric, c'est chic ! 😉

@TheEmu I can definitely believe that. I used to walk past a strip club on the way to work and I would see a lot of girls as they came to work, and most would dress so as not to be recognized, with hoodies pulled up and dark glasses, etc. A few were dressed very nicely and not in disguise!

Did you ever attempt to intrude on any of these girls that were trying to hide their identities?
(or just pass them with no more than a glance)

@JonC001 No sir. I always walked on the other side of the street and pretended not to notice. Plus, I wouldn't want a coworker thinking I had anything to do with strip clubs!
