Is there something about fans of Piter models which currently makes them question or dislike body art and fail to get fully stuck into models who have it, even when the purchasers live in countries where there's a much higher proportion of women carrying tattoos than in Russia, where a 2019 poll showed 6% of women and 20% of men having at least one tattoo?
I think Russian models to a great extent fill the nostalgia of 100% natural non-inked bodies for many users. That could be Cyber Shots problem. Which is a shame with such a body and such pure sexiness!
Anyway, her luck is that Nick usually books them for those 5-10 scenes only anyway. So sales mustnt disturb her really and neither us at this stage.
Re sales.
Meaningless comparison with other performers.
I think you are forgetting that Cyber only released her debut on December 16th (barely 2 weeks before the end of the year), and her follow up on December 26th (only 5 days before the end of the year).
Therefore comparing Cybers sales figures with any performers who have released many scenes (and may have been doing so all year) is a bogus metric.
If you want to use sales as a metric, ask 'who else has been here less than two weeks and has sold more?'
No one I suspect.
Cyber is doing great and I think it's just way too early to start doing statistics. Just listen to the feedback and feel the support hre for her at this early stage.
An extremely beautiful woman who is performing (already) with so much passion and confidence, only promises even more amazing things to come, if she decides she wants to make a career of adult performing. The rest is speculation.
Re Tattoos.
I think it's a 'Younger Audience v Older/Boomer Audience' thing.
Those over 40 (thereabouts) will probably have grown up (teens/twenties/thirties - the intensely sexually active years for most) and formed their sexual partner prefences for life based on the appearance of most women of the pre-2000s.
Twenty years ago or so, tattoed women (more than a small and simple rose, or something subtle and conventially pretty) were rare (outside of the world of rock music or the alt tattooing/bodymod scene).
So that group will have grown up sexually with non-tattoed partners (and wacthing non-tattoed porn stars), and may well see the increased prevelance of tattoed women in porn (and life) as a divergence from prefences they don't want to adapt to.
But since 2000s, particularly in the creative industries (adult work is a creative artform), they have become ubiquitous.
For women in the West, Alt Queens like Dita Von Teese really took them 'overground' in the US in the 00s, and she was really only the visible face of an underground Alt/Retro scene that had a momentum of its own and is still going.
Not sure about the Russian?Eurasian scene, but they will certainly have their Tatooed Heros and Heroines too.
So the group that formed their sexual partner prefences (and porn star prefences) from 2000s on, will not see tatooed women as that unusual (by virtue of tattoes alone, obviously they are all individuals and special in their own way).
So I think there may be an element of an Older/Boomer audience pining for a lost world of non-tattoed women. Whereas the post 2000s audience won't feel that same sense of 'loss'. They will just see all women (tattoed or not) as wonderful variations on a theme.
That's my theory, take it or leave it.
I love Cyber Shot and her body art as one in the same. A glorious gestalt. And I don't really see the woman and the tattoos as two independent elements you can separate out and evaluate on different scales. Cyber's body, and her identity/spirit as expresed through her styling choices and her tattoos, create the whole Cyber Shot presence and experience.
And that the same 'holistic appreciation' applies to other tattoed performers I like (eg, Sharlotte Thorne and Polina Ice).
As for talk of 'she may do better at another studio'. I think that's crazy premature (she's only two weeks and two scenes into her schedule with Nick and NRX!?) and may simply be members who just prefer the output of other studios projecting their prefences/wishes onto circumstances that don't justify it.
I felt her debut and follow up for NRX caprtured the absolute best of Nick's signature style; Cyber was immaculately styled, the action and setting were perfectly lit and shot, the direction was imaginitive (close-up/mid-shot/long-shot/field of view and angles), and a progression through the acts/elements built up the intensity magnificently.
So if Cyber Shot is very happy shooting for Nick NRX, then I would be thrilled to see her stay and make more of the same.
Anyway, I am super-excited that NRX has released another scene so soon. And glad that Nick has cut a non-wet version so I can watch that and avoid some pee.
And though I'm far prefer heels to boots or trainers, her boots are in keeping with her dark Alt look. So after her last two scenes were heels-on-throughout, why not, for a change. I can't wait to see it.
Cyber Shot is magical. Just magical. And she has only just started, so 2022 is all hers for the taking. Bravo.
