At least in the northeast, there a number of "indy-agency" girls who seem to have great relationships with specific agencies.
Case 1: She started with Agency in Boston; went Indy in NY; when she tours to Boston, she is repped by her old agency.
Case 2: She started with Agency in NYC; went indy in DC; when she tours back to NYC, she is repped by her old agency; when she toured to Boston, she was repped by the same Boston agency as in Case 1.
Case 3: There was a popular poster on these boards, now retired so I will only call her R Heart, who was an indy-agency girl in NYC and who also toured, usually as an indy.
Now, since you (Sasha) are on the West Coast, you have to play by the rules out there, so follow the best local advice (e.g., Robbin's).
I'm wondering about those contracts. I can't see any way to enforce them in court. Any evidence presented will be kind of self-incriminating, don't you think? Enforcement is more likely to be via back channels, blocking you from working for any other (reputable) agency or by other means.
Also, this is a PUBLIC forum. I can read everything that has been posted here. Although I find it interesting, I'm not sure that some people want their business posted in public like this. GaG and xyz are offering good advice on that point, too.
Whatever you choose to do, Good Luck! Have Fun! Be Safe!

Many agencies demand or prefer you are exclusive with one agency. The agency you sign with spends their time, and many times their money to promote you, so they don't want girls who are with multiple agencies. I suggest speaking with an agency in your base city, before signing an exclusive contract, and ask them if they will be promoting you if you tour.
As far as TLC...like I said in my prior post to you...Adonia at TLC only represents porn stars, models, actresses, and celebrities. If you are one of these, fill out the application I've enclosed.
Sasha, I hope you sign with a GREAT agency!
