Who is Plush Talent?

Plush Talent is an adult talent agency ran by Scottie Platinum. Prior to entering the adult industry he was a mainstream model agent.

Originally Plush Talent was located in New York City however in May of 2016 they moved their main office to Los Angeles, in the heart of porn valley. I sat down with Scottie Platinum to talk about what this means for him, the agency and his girls.


For those who aren’t familiar with you or Plush Talent, tell us a little about your agency.
Scottie: I’ve been working as an agent for over 14 years. I started out in mainstream, working with models and that eventually led me to adult. Plush Talent is a new venture for me though. It was founded just about a year ago, and focuses exclusively on adult.

Up until recently, you’ve worked mostly in New York City. Why the move to LA?


Scottie: NYC has been good to me. I’ve constantly been able to work with the handful of producers out on the East Coast but the LA market is obviously much bigger. If my girls are going to be the big stars I know they have the potential to be, then I really need to be in LA.

Are you closing up your NYC office all together?


Scottie: Not at all. I still have all of my connection with producers and directors there. So if I have a girl that wants to do some work in New York, I can still send them there.

A few months ago there was some question about the legitimacy of your agency, with some people claiming your weren’t legally licensed. What was the deal with that? (CA license # is TA-213308)

Scottie: We applied for our license awhile ago but because our physical office location at the time was located outside of the state of California we had to jump through a few extra hoops and that caused some delays. We had our bond and paperwork on file with the state of California for awhile though, since September of 2015.
Those who needed it were able to see it. In fact, we had to show it to AVN when we were considering getting a booth at the show in December of last year. But when some random dude demands to see it, why bother? The state of California has my paperwork. They know we are legal, that's all that matters.
You can also check out out on the talent agent website database from the state of California. As you can see it shows we've had out bond since August of 2015, which is also when we originally applied for our license, but due to the fact we are out of state we had to file additional documents so it didn't take effect until December 21, 2015.


So you are in fact a licensed and bonded agent in the state of California?

Scottie: Absolutely and any talent or producer or studio that wants to see a copy of my paperwork from the state, they are welcome to do so.


Why make the move to LA from NYC?

Scottie: LA is the heart of the adult industry. If I am going to do the best job I can for my girls, then I really need to be where all the action is. LA and Las Vegas to some extent, is really where all the magic happens so it's where I need to be with my girls.

What do you most look forward to when you move?

Scottie: I’ll miss New York. I’m an east coast kind of guy but I know I need to be in LA for the good of my girls. I guess what I look forward to most is the sushi I’ve been hearing so much about.
