Here's some interesting stuff from Dr. Hardcore about VS (she has a 90 percent rating there, Close to Perfection).
Members at Dr. Hardcore rated her as follows:
Oral Outstanding
Energy Outstanding
Enthusiasm Outstanding
Vocal Outstanding
Credibility Outstanding
Chemistry Outstanding
Appearance Beautiful
Credibility outstanding. People there got the impression from her performances that she enjoyed sex.
(BTW, Sandra Shine has a 100 percent rating, and she said on her thread that she thought that was cool.)
But another guy on Sandra's thread said that the notion of these ratings is ridiculous, and I agreed with that, but said how I thought they were calculated, with trying to set an objective basis for assessment.
In VS's case, what made her fall short of the 100 percent rating (enjoyed for instance by Silvia Saint) would be her lack of height, coming in at 5 foot 4 inches, compared to 5 foot 9 inches for Sandra Shine and Silvia Saint.
But it seems that many people in the business might not have thought VS was much good as a pornstar, whereas the viewing public (at least those who voted at Dr. Hardcore) thought she was outstanding.
How much is lack of height a handicap for a porn queen to reach the top ? Do you have to be a tall girl like Silvia Saint to be a superstar ?
VS always had that smile on her during a scene, at least at the cumshot. If she was looking at the monitor all the time, was she overly conscious of how she appeared, and really more interested in that than in what was happening on the set ? It's the director who's usually looking at the monitor.
I reckon VS was okay at porn, but could not compare to someone really good like Maya Gold. I thought VS's enthusiasm was a bit contrived, but Maya's seemed more genuine.
(Maya also has a 90 percent rating, I reckon again falling short of 100 percent for relative lack of height, 5 foot 5 inches.)
The difference between appearance and reality.
