Vote for meee!!

Alright- well please please vote for me in the Fleshbot Reader's Choice awards! I will love you forever.

I'm going to be honest with you. This is kind of embarrassing. Sometimes I am just not sure how honest I should be with you all.

A few hours ago I was actually not included on the list of people here. I emailed the Fleshbot staff with a bunch of sad faces that looked like this =( and then they threw me on there- even though the truth of the matter is that I did not have an overwhelming amount of people write in and request that I be on the list. It's cool. It happens sometimes.They added me on anyways because Fleshbot is awesome and they had a feeling that once I was on there my army would come and vote for me. Maybe my fans were too busy looking at BurningAngel porn to take a break and email my name into Fleshbot- yeah! That must have been it!

Let me tell you- it really is hard to be a "famous" porn star and only work for yourself- when yourself is still in the scene of things- a very small company. I used to work for other people- in the past few years I stopped (with the exception of a few random scenes- I have done 4 scenes for other production companies in the past 3 years). I just felt like it didn't make any sense- my name is Joanna Angel... um... I should really just be on BurningAngel! This might sound very dorky business woman-ish but it was just not good branding to be the punk princess of porn and then appear in very um... not so punk porno movies. I would also rather be working on promoting my own company and making it bigger and better rather than spending time on someone else's set.

Sometimes I feel a little guilty that much of my blog entries are shameless self promotional plugs- but being able to show the world that I can get the same awards as the other girls who have been in hundreds and hundreds of "mainstream" porn releases in movies that sell a lot more copies than mine do, really is a great achievement for me- and my company, and for you know.... just the general image of women and porn and blah blah blah. I want to be able to keep making what we make- and make more of it, and make it better and better.... and this is just part of the game I have to play to get there. I hope you understand. I wanna stand on stage and accept awards for being in movies like LA Pink, or POV Punx.... or Friends don't Let Friends fuck alone.... not... you know... Pirates, or like, super school girl sluts # 22 (I don't know if that is actually a movie but I am assuming it is). I have nothing against people who have chose that path - it is just not the path I want to take.

So I am totally sorry if this was some long winded emo rant. I don't like to show this side of myself. But even if you don't like me, and you like the other scenes with other girls on BurningAngel- please show your support!

Hopefully I will have the balls to keep this entry up and I won't take it down in a few days.
