I once characterized Erica Rose Campbell, once one of my favorite porn models, as a "pinup designed by a committee." To be crass about it, she has a great ass, great thighs, great calves, a great butt, a great stomach, great breasts, and a pretty face-- all of which were seemingly assembled from parts of other women. In one of those "The leg bone is connected to the hip bone" stories, the musculature, or bone structure, or fat distribution of every single one of those body parts seems to be disproportionate to its neighbor. Her calves were too long for her thighs; her thighs were too heavy for her butt, her butt had too much shelf for her back, her belly seemed just a little bit off for her pelvis, her breasts were too large for her frame, as was her head. The most that can be said was that she started with great breasts and then her personal trainer optimized her diet and exercise to create individual muscle groups that pushed out her ass and thighs, creating just the slightest sense of "offness." Not enough to be uncanny, but enough to twig the sensibilities of the (ahem) connoisseur. Still, I liked her: she had a great smile, for one thing.
On Ms. Campbell's website (Now Safe For Work), we learn that even her brain has been parasitized by unpleasant and distortionary replicating memes.
I know, part of me ought to feel guilty about writing a long paragraph completely and totally objectifying the various body parts of a Good Christian Woman™, but... I can't. She had been in the business for years, scrupulously avoided going hard-core, ran her own website, dealt with other super-savvy non-hardcore pinups like Aria Giovanni (quite possibly Nature's Perfect Woman™; she's like Jessica Alba for adults), and sold herself over and over to the hungry eyes of horndogs like yours truly.
I wish her the best, really. I just wish her solution wasn't so damned extreme.

Date: 2008-05-22 02:15 am (UTC)The one thing I will say about her, that stands in contradiction to the post by Elf, is that I found her to be the most interesting adult model I've ever seen! And, I think I finally figured out why I feel that way: I think she has the most amazingly expressive face of any woman in the adult-modeling scene. From one photo set to another over the course of her modeling career, she has this ability to look quite different from one set to another (as though she is almost a different woman). And even within each of her photo sets, she is able to convey such a wide-range of emotions (alternately seductive, innocent, coquettish, glamourous, sultry, etc.) through her facial expressions and eyes ... Consequently, I never tire of looking at her (as opposed to most of the other adult models or porn stars). I really think that it's her face, eyes, and smile, that make her so interesting ... and that make her unique in comparison to other women with comparable bodies (but who always seem to look basically the same to me).
In conclusion, I will truly miss her .... but she surely deserves a better life than the downward-spiraling treadmill of sex work. I wish her all the best, and I truly hope that she finds the inner peace and happiness, which she is clearly seeking.
