Gal Ritchie: From British Dominatrix to Rising L.A. Starlet

This feature article appears in the October 2024 issue of X3 magazine, dedicated to capturing the genuine personalities, passions, and stories of emerging and established stars. X3 is published by XBIZ Media.

Gal Ritchie left her home in the U.K. and arrived in Los Angeles on Aug. 12, 2023. She remembers the exact date because it was such a key moment in her life.

“I am very passionate about being here, in this industry,” she stresses. Her alert, penetrating eyes punctuate her words. “That’s the No. 1 thing I want my fans to know about me.”

Over brunch in Sherman Oaks, she recalls that unusually torrid summer.

“I came for two weeks to see if I would like it here, and I landed in that record heat,” she reminisces. “It was unbelievably hot. Coming from England to that? I was dying!”

The scorching heat didn’t faze her, though. Talk to Ritchie for a while and it becomes clear that few things do.

“I went back home, packed up two suitcases and moved out here full time,” she says. “I’ve been here ever since.”

With set-ready hair and makeup, a designer bag and trendy sunglasses perched above her hairline, Gal looks exactly on brand: a new LA transplant with showbiz dreams. Any onlooker’s first guess would likely be “actress taking meetings.” She’s still adjusting, however. She Ubered to our Valley brunch interview because she doesn’t drive yet.

“I want people to understand how determined I am to get somewhere and be here for a long time,” she says with irrefutable confidence while working on a starlet salad, also very much on brand. “I don’t want to be in the industry for one year and then do something else, or use it in order to get somewhere else. I want to be here for the next five to seven years, if not longer. I would love to go into directing, producing. I am determined to have a long, lasting career.”

The ambitious brunette on a mission to take America by storm — shades of Angela White — has already impressed some key people with her focus and determination. Among them: top agent Mark Spiegler. The canny veteran behind-the-scenes star-maker has taken Gal under his wing as his protegé and for months has been personally mentoring her and talking her up as his latest Big Find.

New York Magazine Names 'Magic Wand Rechargeable' Its 'Best Overall Vibrator'

LOS ANGELES — New York Magazine’s “The Strategist” vertical has named Vibratex’s Magic Wand Rechargeable the best overall vibrator.

In an article written by Dominique Pariso, the Rechargeable was its top pick out of 34 reviewed vibrators.

“While I have plenty of other toys in my nightstand that may be more aesthetically pleasing or boast some new tech, I find myself reaching for the Magic Wand over them time and time again,” Pariso writes. “It’s just that good.

“Carol Queen, Ph.D., staff sexologist at Good Vibrations in San Francisco and curator of the store’s Antique Vibrator Museum, who I trust due to her decades of work in her field, says it has a well-deserved reputation for being strong and consistent, with many users having had their first orgasms with this power player vibe,” Pariso adds.

Violet Myers Named TeamSkeet’s November ‘AllStar’

Violet Myers Named TeamSkeet's November 'AllStar'

MIAMI — TeamSkeet has named Violet Myers as the studio’s ‘AllStar’ for November, spotlighting her in a scene with Ryan Driller.

Titled “November Gold: Violet Myers AllStar Spotlight,” the scene kicks off with an interview, during which Myers discusses her background, hobbies and her fan encounters.

“I don’t get hit on as much as I used to when I wasn’t as big as I am now,” Myers shares. “Now it’s just people wanting to take pictures of me or just people who are brave enough to ask to fuck me, which is not that easy. I have had sex with a lot of fans before; I try not to do it as much now. Because a lot of them are really shy, I try to go on dates with them rather than just fuck them like I used to — not all of them; just the cool and chill ones.”

Myers is then joined by Driller “dressed as Tulio, ready to bring their playful chemistry to a new level,” said a rep. “The two seamlessly transition the scene to the bedroom, where things quickly heat up.”

“November Gold: Violet Myers AllStar Spotlight” is streaming on TeamSkeet.
