When Kink.com decided to purchase the San Francisco Armory last year, they knew they were getting much more than just a new production studio. In addition to being a historic San Francisco landmark, the smooth granite front steps of the 94-year-old building have also made the Armory a treasured destination for skateboarders from all over the world. Recently, a local production company even got Kink.com's permission to use the historic steps (referred to by skaters as "3 up 3 down") as a location for a commercial they were shooting for Adidas. With architecture that impresses historian, skateboarder and pornographer alike, the Armory has proved that it is truly a one of a kind building.

Working in an industry that revolves around youth and fresh faces, it has become quite common for models to squeeze a lifetime of work into just a couple of years, often retiring even before they hit their mid-twenties. With a full life ahead of these young retirees, you might wonder what they could possibly do next that could top getting paid to have sex for a living. And sometimes, the answer isn't as glamorous as you might think.
