Week 40: Asa Akira

Asa Akira was born in Tokyo, Japan but emigrated early in her life to New York. She has become one of the most proeminent porn stars in the industry today. She's a linving example of the success of asian-typed actresses the last few decades. Today she mostly works in high-class productions for big LA-based companies. Her major assets are her sucking skills, her pretty face and her ass (she does anal quite often).

Week 39: Nikki Daniels

Nikki Daniels was born in Los Angeles in 1982. She started her career in amateur porn and has mainly been doing gonzo porn. Her all natural body and her spontaneity make her an interesting option notably for gonzo group scenes, like Fuck Team 16. Nikki Daniels has also done some bondage scenes.

Week 38: Eva Angelina

 

 

Eva Angelina was born in 1985 near Los Angeles. She's very polyvalent pornstar, she does pretty much all kind of scenes: lesbian, hardcore, group etc. She's has done (and is still doing) many gonzo scenes, but today she's considered mostly as a high class pornstar and we see mostly in scenarized movies from the big american LA-based porn production companies. She's probably the most obvious example of the relaticely recent success of latina pornstars within the porn industry

Phoenix Marie was born in 1981 in Golden Valley, Arizona. She's close to the archetype of an American blonde bombshell. She's one those pornstars who have identified themselves with the "big white ass" style, another example is Alexis Texas. Phoenix Marie illustrates quite well the attraction LA porn has on the sourronding areas, including Arizona. Nevertheless, as Arizona, with notably cities like Scottsdale or Phoenix is a porn scene for itself, which explains Marie's relatively late breakthrough (in 2010, Penthouse Pet of Month, aged 29). She's done mostly high budget gonzo scenes like in Performers of the Year 2011 or like in Big Butts Like It Big 7. She's also quite good in interracial scenes.

Week 36: Lacey Duvalle

Lacey Duvalle was born in 1982 in Washington, DC. Lacey Duvalle is probably, with Jada Fire and Obssession, one of the most successful Black actresses in the world. She started her career just after she went 18, in 2000. Duvalle's major asset is her very curvy body. She won the Award for Best POV Scene at the Urban X Awards in 2009.

31 Aug 2012: Heather Starlet

Heather Starlet was born in 1989 in Dayton, Ohio. She's today's porn star because she stunned me Outnumbered #5 where she reallt stood out, even though the other girls were incredibly famous pornstars such as Sasha Grey and Lisa Ann. Her piercing on the tongue and her girl-next-door look are here major assets.

30 Aug 2012: Tori Black

Tori Black was born in 1988 in Seattle, WA. Her body is in many ways more a model's body than a porn star's body. Her face notably is of a certain purity. She started porn in 2009, and quickly became huge. She's notably the only porn star in history to have earned the AVN Award of the Best Performer two years in a row (2010, 2011). In two years, she has won 9 AVN Awards and several other awards. She does both  gonzo (Interracial Pickups for instance) and scenarized material (Californique, Wonder Woman, Batman XXX etc.). She can do a large variety of porn, going from lesbian to anal and group sex.

Most famous for her very large and natural tits, Gianna Michaels has become an extremely popular porn star over last few years. She mainly does gonzo material, notably in scenes in which the main theme is large tits (such as Big Wet Tits 4). Her outgoing attitude and her sense of humour have also contributed to her success. On my own Ranking of Stars, she went in #15 in 2009, #4 in 2010 and stayed at #4 in 2011. She's reguarly in the Top 10 on the Freeones.com ranking.

26 Aug 2012: Tanya James

Born in 1983 in Riverside, CA. Tanya James has been in the porn business since 2003 and has worked for major companies such as Naughty America, Hustler Video or Penthouse.
