A model of good grooming, impeccable style and cultural savoir faire, talent agent Regan Senter came on the porn scene in the Mid Nineties.
And in a big way. While other competing agencies were exchanging death threats and gift certificates for hand guns, Senter formed Beautiful Models International and proved once and for all that ingénues in the business were as gullible as senior citizens with social security checks.
Senter, named for the The Ronald Reagan Building & International Trade Center in Washington D.C., came up with the “compliance” video.
Silly as the idea sounded at the time, Senter simply convinced female high school dropouts that by exchanging bodily fluids with him on camera they could prove self worth, often times anally, and thus acquire a higher sense of self-esteem. Many perverts throughout the world have adopted Senter’s ideas but not with the sense of mischief he brought to the concept.
Alison Kilgore, the doyenne of psychotic Internet drama, was perhaps Senter’s most famous graduate. While Ponzi had a scheme named after him, Senter has yet to be acknowledged in an equal sense.
So let us honor him in other ways, however, for May 6 is his birthday.
