I absolutely agree that a model can "reinvent" himself, keeping existing fans and attracting new ones. AJ and I enjoy working with many of our models and seeing how they change and grow over time. Kelly Taylor is a good example of this, he did about 16 shoots with 18 West / Boyfunk over the 2-1/2 years he worked with us and was constantly reinventing his look.

He went from fairly skinny, young looking twink to a more muscled "college guy" look with a number of different hairstyles and clothing styles, and his fans seemed to really enjoy seeing his metamorphosis.

We have a number of other models who have also been with us for several years now... Skyler is in cosmetology school, so his hair is always different, and here's one of the recent stills of Jesse that we shot while he was here in December:


Quite a bit different from the cute little guy on the cover of Boyfunk!

We've also found that by taking the approach of carefully and thoughtfully releasing content of even our most popular models over a longer period of time (year or two) rather than shitting a ton of content out very quickly, the demand for the model actually grows over time and people don't grow tired of him.

That's one of the reasons we always talk to models about their goals in the industry... if they just want to make a bunch of cash and get out quickly, then doing a lot of work for a bunch of studios can definitely pay off, but at the cost of rapid burnout of that model's popularity. The models who are in it for the longer term and are wise about it are usually best choosing a couple of studios or sites to work with and cultivating a relationship with them that doesn't involve pumping a ton of content out at once.

It surprises me that many other site owners, when I speak with them about this sort of thing, act like it's a revolutionary idea, because to me it's just common sense.
