What makes a Great Performance?

It's impossible to please every user with every card.
I think they do a good job with variety to make most of happy most of the time.
Absolutely and well spotted @sh42n81 👌 and i forgot about two other important things that the Team
is listening to us. @pickle1 was starting this Topic here
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/45979/1
and @celine was responding there to an Outfit.

@shodan084 started this Topic here
https://www.istripper.com/forum/thread/44466/1
and @Manue was responding there too.
And we got this Show with Auda Love > https://www.istripper.com/model/show/e1484
And don't forget about Savana Wildchild and her Ring of Fire,
https://www.istripper.com/model/show/e1534
an 😍 Absolutely Fantastic Show 😍 in my Opinion.
But we can't expect such an Performance from every Girl of course.

So to answer that Question for myself, What makes a Great Performance?
In my Opinion it's not possible, because
Not only is every performer different, but every user is different, too. Some guys like big boobs,
others like more petite women. Some like shoes on, some like stockings with shoes off, some like bare feet.
Some like aggressively sexy performers, whilst others prefer a more demur approach.
you can't satisfy every Taste it's simply not possible. Suggestions are always welcome to improve
Stuff and Things, no Question about that. But at the end a great Performance can only bring one
person to us, it is the Girl in front of the Camera inside the iStripper Studio.

Because she is the one (including the Team of course) which is trying to make us Happy
and bring us Entertainment. And even if many Girls like to Perform and Masturbate
in front of a Camera, not every Girl is feeling to 100% comfortable with this.
Some people might forget about this sometimes.

So like @celine was saying here,
A successful recipe that will for sure bring you even more pleasure in 2021!
and yes i think we should have trust in this, because (beside of Corona) there were many many Shows in 2020,
which are in my Collection and were bringing for myself a great Performance already.

And 😍 Elis 😍 https://www.istripper.com/model/elis is only one example for that.

These are all good lists. But every performer has different strengths and the key is for the director to play to each one's particular talents. Some are very good dancers, so that should be highlighted. Others are experts at the tease--just enough to drive us crazy without rushing to the nudity, but not too much so we lose interest.

Sometimes, Take Two is better left to the imagination. Some models have an outstanding first session, then come back a few years later looking like those years had not been kind to them. They are still beautiful, but the light has gone out of their eyes. They make me want to hug them and comfort them, but they don't make me want them. I will not name any models because I don't want to be mean.

No card has achieved 5-star status since I began the new scoring system I came up with this year. It has seven elements, graded on a score of 1 - 5 each. The average of the factors is the card score. Each factor is, of course, highly subjective, and they overlap and affect each other. A model with a great personality can bump up her attractiveness score a step, for example.

Attractiveness: I assess the model's appearance on the whole; I don't break it down to face/boobs/butt/legs/hair, etc. I tend to prefer petite women, but a thick model with huge knockers will still score high if she has a beautiful face. As I stated above, a great personality can make a model appear more attractive than she otherwise would. A 2 score in this category is rare. I can't imagine ever giving a 1 here. I'm not mean enough for that, and I don't think iStripper has any 1-grade models. If they did, I certainly wouldn't buy the card, and I only review cards that I have bought.

Personality: Lots of smiles and eye contact are sure to score well here, but there are other ways to score high, too. Feigned bashfulness works, and I love when a model loses her balance, recovers, and then laughs. Anything that lets me see the "real" her, or makes me believe that I'm seeing the "real" her, is going to score high. Belka and Melena Maria Rya have 5-star personalities. Both are very beautiful, but neither is among the most beautiful that iStripper has to offer, in my opinion. But they are sexy and they know it. And they let you know they know it. I'll buy any card from them.

Performance - stage: This includes anything that isn't a table clip. Standing, pole, swing, etc. Pro dance moves and great pole work obviously are helpful here. Graceful movements and exaggerated but fluid leg swings appeal to me. Stiff, wooden, and uninspired dance moves are a turnoff. But this is also where the art of the tease comes in. If the model can't dance, but knows how to make me want to see more--and if the director focuses on that talent--she can still score well in this category. Also, sometimes, personality can affect how I feel about a performance. For example, Silvie Deluxe has a card where her dance movements are a bit awkward, but it somehow seems charming with the personality that she is showing.

Performance - table: Same as above, but for table scenes. The great dancers have an advantage on the stage, while the great teasers have the advantage on the table.

Eroticism: Basically, how sexy is the show? This can affect the scores of the other categories, as well. An XXX show with toys, insertions, and/or lesbian play will usually score a 5, but not always, if it's not convincing. And a very sexy model can score a 5 without doing any of those things. Generous open views, touching, and enchanting hip movements work well here. If I can imagine myself being the pole, that will lead to a high score. A 4 in this category means the card makes me want to grab a tissue. A 5 means the card makes me NEED to grab a tissue! 😄

Outfit: Sheer stockings or fishnets will always score well. A revealing outfit that hides just enough to keep my eyes glued to the model, hoping to catch a slip, will score well, too. (Vicki's swimsuit in "White Spider" comes to mind). Costumes aren't usually my thing. I don't mind them, both they usually won't score a 5. More see-thru outfits would be nice.

Shoes off: I like feet--especially in stockings. The shoes don't have to be off in every clip to score a 5, but they need to be off in some of both standing and table clips, or the best I'll score the card in this category is 4. For a high score, the model needs to do something sexy with her feet once the shoes are off, too. A 0 means the shoes never come off in any clip, and that will do severe damage to the score of an otherwise very good card.

Most of the cards I have reviewed with this scoring system have ended up in the 3.5 - 4.5 range. 4.5 is an exceptional card.

@pantalone thanks for setting up this thread, i think it's a succinct way to give constructive feedback on the subject to Totem.

My two cents on the subject:

1 - Contact with the viewer
  • Like mentioned previously, eye contact is a must to make the viewer feel that connection
  • Genuine smiles and laughter also help, nobody wants to see a lady paid to do something she doesn't want to do.
  • Authentic sounds - when a performer orgasms (legitimately or fake), as long as it comes across as authentic then the viewer will almost certainly always have a good time.
  • Sounds part 2 - when orgasming, we all know a lady does not climax at the drop of a hat, a bit of work needs to be done and if it feels too rushed, the viewer will notice and it can mar the experience.

2 - Costumes
  • I'm guilty of this, but sometimes I simply don't choose a girl based off of the costume she wears - my biggest gripe are those weird kitten heel things, the ones that dont hold the back of the foot like slippers do, and the ones with the little puff ball over the toes - for some reason it's a major turn off.
  • Some costumes are so vibrant that they stay in your mind (thinking of melissa in the banana yellow corset) and it matched her summery smile and her happy movements that it worked and brings me a smile to watch.
  • Some costumes just don't add to the performance, or the performance doesn't utilise the costume - as said, if you have a miniskirt, show some upskirt, or use it to tease. Long dresses can sway and when used with the motion (of the ocean) of the performer can be hypnotic to watch.
  • Sometimes the costumes don't make it into the XXX portions of the show. Eva Elfie kept the costume till the end of the XXX show and it was awesome, sometimes the outfit magically disappears - my advice is to split it, one XXX show with and one XXX show without, to give the viewers some choice in the matter.
  • Now this is not to say that Totem should abandon costumes which haven't worked, or indeed to try new ones - i feel change is required to keep us entertained and ensure things are fresh, so we unfortunately need some duds to remind us how good we otherwise have it.

3 - Format
  • as @pickle1 will attest as he's seen my comments in the mobile forum, some shows are remarkably improved by vitrue of the mobile platform - Kristina - subtle reminder - is incredible on phone, the swing set just works in my opinion, all zoomed in and in high def. I never would have purchased her set otherwise.
  • Fullscreen also has some ramefications, with some of the wonderful scenes the community has created, i have fallen in love with some of the models who otherwise were 'meh' in my books. Nancy A is gorgeous, my most favourite porn performer, but on here her shows are not too exciting (i still buy them, i'm in love). Now in fullscreen mode she gets given a setting and zoomed in, some context gets afforded and she looks a bit more focused on me.

4 - Sound
  • why is it that sound really only gets afforded to XXX shows? i can have a number of cards where i only hear the lady speak in the opening set and the final three xxx sets
  • it creates that immersion, hearing the footsteps, clothes being thrown, vibrators vibratin', laughs and giggles as she messes up
  • Conversely some of the english from the ladies is so bad that it too can be a turn off, but sometimes with her voice it can be a turn on - the duality of porn...
  • Melena is hot as chips! but the way she says daddy (deehhhhdeeeeee) just makes my skin crawl - yet i persevere because her orgasms are just on another level

5 - Access
  • I am a different case to some of you who frequent the forums, i don't have enough cash to buy every single girl so naturally i'm a bit more choosy and guarded in my purchases, this could explain why some of the more established performers do better than others, but also why Take2's don't always take. We get the first lot of the model but actually regret the choice, however totem thinks we did like it and gets her again.
  • Also the previews in my opinion don't always show the bits i need of the show in order for me to purchase, it's like the opposite of a movie trailer, it has none of the best bits. (that sounds harsher than i meant it to, apologies)
  • conversely sometimes seeing the preview sells me on an outfit - so swings and roundabouts...


I think that's enough for now.

TL:DR -
Models should be engaging
Models should smile and have genuine fun
Costumes need to be used if they are chosen
Not everyone can buy every card as they are released.

my data folder and models folder is on the passport?

If your data folder is on your passport external drive, you sould move it back to your root folder. The first screen shot shows what I have on my passport drive. But I had to play games with my preference file to do this and I do not recommend this to you.

The second screen shot shows where my data folder is on my MacBook Pro. Note that my root user folder is named Programming. This is the configuration you should use. If you have an older installation, you may have a folder there named VirtuaGirl instead of iStripper. Note that the path shown in the iStripper Advanced Options Data section (4th screen shot) matches what is shown in the second screen shot.

The name of your modles folder on the passport doesn't matter as long as you designate that folder in the iStripper Data section of System Preference.

i do not see a file called com.totem.Vghd.plist

That's correct. It's hidden in the Preferences folder of the Library folder of you user account. To see it

1. Make the Finder your active application
2. Hold down the option key
3. Click on the Go menu of the finder and you will see the Library folder. Release the option key and that will be hidden again.
(see the third screen shot)
4. Click on the Library in the Go menu and the Library folder will open
5. Click no the Preferences folder in the Libary folder and that will open
6. Scroll down and you will find com.totem.Vghd.plist Do not open it.

info.plist

Leave that file alone. It is of no use to you and if you change it iStripper will not work.

everytime i reinstall it doesn't install

Stop trying to reinstall. That does no good on the Mac.

There is nothing in the home folder except file called virtual girl.txt

I don't know what that is. Since it is a text file you can open it and see what it contains. I doubt it is relevant to your problem.

the folder that shows on my passport is called Virtua Girl

That's the default name that was originally in your home folder. It willl work fine with that name. I assume that it contains a data folder and a models folder.

should i be using safari instead of Chrome?

I use Safari, but I don't think this matters.

OK, I'm going to describe two courses of action. If the first one works, stop there. If first one doesn't work, try the second.

Course of action 1 - replace the data folder

1. Make sure iStripper is not running.
2. In your root use folder, create a folder named Virtua Girl.
3. Copy the data folder in the Virtua Girl folder of your passport to the new folder in your root user folder.
4. Start iStripper
5. Immediately open Advanced preferences in iStripper, go to the Data section and check that the path shown matchs the path do your models folder.
6. If it doesn't, use the Change folder button to corrent this.
7. Try running iStripper. If it runs, we've solved your problem
8. Shut down iStripper
8. Check the Virtua Girl folder in your root user folder. There may be an unnecessary models folder present. If there is, trash it.
9. Try running iStripper again.

Course of action 2 - rebuild the preference file

1. Make sure iStripper is not running.
2. Trash the Virtua Girl folder I had you create in the first course of action
3. Open the Preference folder as I describe earlier.
4. Trash the com.totem.Vghd.plist file
5. Empty your track using Finder
6. Reboot your Mac
7. Run iStripper -- You must sign in with your current account and password.
8. As soon as iStripper starts running, open Advanced preferences in iStripper, go to the Data section and use the Change folder button to point to your models folder.
9. Once you've designated your models folder, Quit iStripper
10. You should see a newly created iStripper folder in your user root folder.
11. Copy your old data folder from your external drive to the new folder.
12. If the new folder contains a models folder, trash that models folder
13 Try running iStripper. If it runs, we've solved your problem

If none of this works, tell me what you did and what results you encountered. My best guess is that the first course of action has a 90% chance of working. If it doesn't work, the second course of action has a 90% chance of success.
