When bad girls go....good?

I don’t post that often in the Sex forum, but something happened in the past week that I thought was interesting and figured would be worth discussing on here.

Erica Campbell recently announced on her official website that she found God and is retiring from nude modeling. For those who don’t know who she is, Campbell over the past few years has appeared in various Playboy Special Editions, Perfect 10, and Penthouse. She also was featured on websites like PinupGlam.com and Danni’s Hard Drive.

If you have never seen pictures, I would recommend doing a Google search of some past images of Campbell. She is very easy on the eyes.

This is a recent interview from Glamourcon that was posted a couple of months ago on Youtube.

And this is what you see if you visit her website now.

Before she shut the website down, Erica posted a message on her blog saying that she was in a car accident where some idiot in another vehicle was driving on the wrong side of the road and she almost got killed. This near death experience is most likely why she is stepping away from her former profession and she posted the current letter on her site.

One part of me is pissed because Campbell is incredibly hot and she still has the looks to stay in the industry for a few more years.

However, her letter does make a couple of good points about the adult industry and how it can lead models down a dark path towards self destruction and addiction.

Is this a case of someone just over reacting to a random bad event? Do you agree with anything she wrote? What other models or adult actresses can you think of that have once been naughty on camera and then decided to call it quits?

You're seriously asking that question on a message board about sex? That's like going up to a fat guy and asking him how many more meals does he need to eat.

When you put it like that, I suppose you're right. It's just that Campbell was a personal favorite of mine and could always be counted on to appear in some really great pictures.

There is a series of pictures on the internet of her dressed like Wonder Woman that are very nice.

As nekkerbee posted earlier, at least she is finding some peace and getting out of the business before it really messed with her head. So, I guess I shouldn't complain too much.

And James May gets the gold star!

Fafhrd, I'm not going to ignore the fact that at some points in the letter she goes a little overboard. However, you have to remember that this letter is coming from a woman who was almost killed by an irresponsible driver and she has been holding back negative feeling about her profession for a couple of years now. She is also cutting off ties to an industry that helped her financially support herself.

Is she being entirely rational in the message? No.

However, put yourself in her shoes and tell me how calm you would be in that sort of situation?
