@Rex: I don't feel as vehemently about this as the original poster, but I agree with part of what was said in spirit. I often feel like Totem picks up on some sexy move and the first time you see it, you think "wow!" But then over the course of a month or two of cards, you keep seeing the same move again and again, either across all of the model's cards, or across different models. In addition to the "come here" move (which I think is fun for the demo clips given that the model is trying to coax you into buying, but seems out of place in full-length clips where there's no way I'm going to get any closer to her), the other one that gets me is the "I'm pointing my finger up and licking it" move that started becoming popular at the beginning of the year. The first few times, I thought "Wow, that's hot!" Soon after that my reaction became "Oh, that old move again..."
If I had a ton of great ideas, I'd start my own business, but I have to think that with all the strippers and strip clubs in the world, there must be a ton more moves than seeing the same one in just about every card for a few months before moving on to the next one. Even going back and looking at what some of the early VGs did would be instructive -- many of them remain favorites, in psite of the low resolution.
(I continue to think that having VG models speak on camera would be great, though I understand the technical and acting challenges, and the varied quality of the DB cards testify to it).
