Sponsor Pool Update #1: Sarah Brooke Catfight

Hey, Everyone,

So THANK YOU to everyone that has written in regarding the sponsor pool idea!  We've been quiet about it for a little while as we've continued to ponder the best way to coordinate all the different suggestions, but the pool idea is still very much alive!

At first I thought I would gather up a bunch of suggestions and make a massive blog post about all of them...  But now I'm thinking that pitching these ideas out one by one will be the way to make sure they get out as quickly and directly as possible.

So without further ado, here's our first, most solid and most time-bound sponsor pool opportunity.

Catfight

Sarah Brooke vs. Me (VeVe)

Sarah Brooke and I are already scheduled to shoot together at FetCon on August 9th.  We've gotten a request from two different guys to do a fully competitive, hard, rough catfight.  Finally!

But, understandably, the rate for real catfighting is a good deal higher than for straight wrestling or other modeling.  We need to raise $1000 total, and the two original requesters have pledged $600 between them.  $400 more to go.

This would be a 20-minute bikini fight (unless even more people want to contribute extra to make it longer).

If you are interested in pitching in on this effort, Email:  orders@doommaidens.com
And Use the subject line:  Sponsor Pool Sarah Brooke Catfight

Thanks!  Hopefully, we can kick off this sponsor pool thing by making this happen!

Anastaxia & Wrestling Holds: Sponsor Pool #1

We will be filming with Goddess Anastaxia on Monday, July 3.  This post is to kick off Sponsor Pool Idea #1, which is based on an e-mailed-in suggestion.  I'm going to give this structure a try.  I've consulted with VeVe, and this is my proposal:


 

Anastaxia and Wrestling Holds

• Anastaxia performs specific wrestling holds on a victim, repeatedly or long holds
• Examples: headscissors, camel clutch, boston crab, triangle choke, etc
• 
  
• 5 minutes for $25 if 4 people go in for this pool
• .
• Everyone going into the pool must agree on the same hold and same victim.  Must also agree on attire and attitude.
• Example: If 4 people join together and agree on creating a 5-minute video of Anastaxia performing camel clutches on Aralia, each will contribute $25.  All contributions go directly to the wrestlers involved for this idea.

(You can see examples of Anastaxia's previous video work with us here: Anastaxia's page)

Victims definitely available that day:

VeVe Lane  (Profile)
Aralia  (Profile)
Rizzo  (Resume)
Diablo (Resume)

   

If this idea is of interest, please drop us a line ASAP.  Both VeVe and I will be monitoring the Sponsor Pool e-mail address, and one of us will get back to you as soon as possible to help coordinate this one.

E-mail:   sponsorpool@doommaidens.com

In Subject line, put the following:  "Anastaxia Holds Sponsor Pool"

Thanks all!  Let us know what you think or if you are interested in this idea.

Sponsor Pool for Custom Videos (Getting Started)

UPDATE 6/28: Sponsor Pool Idea #1 has posted: Anastaxia and Wrestling Holds

..................................................................................
Hey folks!  This post is a starting point to talk about VeVe's "Sponsor Pool" idea for custom video commissions.  I think I will be handling the blogging portion of this endeavor.

If you've yet to see VeVe's Sponsor Pool presentation video, that is here: (and my summary is below)

Here, VeVe proposes an idea to create group-sponsored custom videos.  That is to say, if more than one person would be interested in a custom commission idea, these multiple people can come together and split the production cost between them.

To start, VeVe asks that people who are interested e-mail her so that she can begin to get an idea of who and how many people are keen on this.

She would even like to create mini mailing lists for certain genres, such as competitive mixed wrestling, competitive female wrestling, pro-style, bondage wrestling, etc.  And when an idea comes up in one of those genres -- or if a new guest wrestler comes to town who can do any of the above --, she will inform the list of it, in case anyone would like to join in a new pool to create a new work.

ok!  So, there's a lot of organizing involved here!  This is where I come in.

VeVe had thought to use her blog, but since she is often quite busy with e-mail, we have opted to use my blog instead.  This, we hope, will be the public posting communication hub.

As ideas and suggestions come in, I will make blog posts for them, so that people can see what's on the table.  These listings might also spark people's imaginations and encourage them to submit other suggestions that aren't specifically listed.  I may at some point create a page for this on the Doom Maidens website, but, for now, the blog is the sleekest and more easy to update on the fly.

So!

Stay tuned for more to come.  I am trying to be concise right now, just to get this post up, but I'll go on more about this later as well.
