A Star is Porn

Excerpt: Review: 'The Girlfriend Experience' -- Mick LaSalle
The smartest thing director Steven Soderbergh did in the making of "The Girlfriend Experience" was to cast Sasha Grey. For the role of a high-priced call girl, he went out and found a porn star, and the difference between Grey's essence - that porn star essence - and the milder essence he might have found in a pretty Hollywood starlet is the source of the movie's impact.
Grey has the look. She is a young woman, in her early 20s, but the porn star look is already coming into focus on her face. It's a hard look, but with a strange element of stupefaction. It's a look that can imitate innocence, until you look in the eyes. They're the eyes of someone who has figured out it's all a joke, but is beginning to wonder if she's the butt of it. It's the face of someone whose youthful exuberance seems about two or three shocks away from devolving into empty high spirits or bitter cynicism.

The Porn Stars of American Apparel

American Apparel's ads have often flirted with nakedness—very very young girls revealing their impressive assets in leotards, short shorts, or sprawled out on a second-hand sofabed wearing only soiled panties, come-hither looks, and lust. Somehow, the ads, which double as cheeky send ups of exploitation chic and clear examples of actual exploitation, have become targets for post-Feminist love and ire.
We now revel in the straight-up nakedness of the new American Apparel ads featuring professional porn performers Sasha Grey and, one of our very favorites, Charlotte Stokely, 22 (above).
