But... I'm still having a hard time figuring out how her experience is going to translate to anything relevant to a group of online business people. She doesn't even have an Official Sasha Grey website.

Frankly, I think because she's not got her own agenda, I am a helluva lot more likely to listen to her than I am to someone flogging his own shit and swinging his dick 'cos he got lucky, once, and rode it.

Hello, box. I think I will step outside of you for a bit.

Yeah, there's been more than one Keynote address I've skipped over the years 'cuz it was some swingin' dick whose drivel I didn't care to hear again.

If I were going to be at Internext I probably would attend just to hear WTF she had to say about the biz. Curiosty getting the better of the cat.

Is this a "girl power" thing?

I'd rather hear from an industry leader.

That depends entirely on which "industry leader". A great many of them got to where they are simply by being there first years ago and becoming an 800 lb. gorilla.

Uh, no, it's not.

I mean, clearly, that would be the only motivation I would have for wanting to hear what someone who has some pretty solid mainstream recognition under her belt just for being exactly who she is, without trying to sanitise herself, and has been featured in more non-porn outlets than anyone in years. Obviously. But, no, EJ, this time, it's not about "girl power."

'Cos I am not a Spice Girl.
