Sara Jay had a great body and could arguably out perform and outfuck a not insignificant amount of the more conventionally attractive women in the industry at the time. The ones heavily pushed by the industry but tended to be, as one person in the thread had mentioned, rather vacuous. Hell, you go back to 2008/9, it wouldn't be rare to see someone say she was a better performer than Jayden Jaymes, for example. Being a staple of the IR porn demographic at the time probably helped too. She's also a 20 year vet in a line of work where most women are lucky if they last
a year, let alone multiple.
You could maybe say she's overrated
now, but I would say that wasn't always the case.
I agree with Mia being overrated though, especially considering she's an example of someone who washed out of the industry rather quickly and didn't stick around long enough to improve as a performer.
