Alexis Texas
Blue-eyed, blonde beauty Alexis Texas was born in Panama on May 25, 1985 and grew up in Brownwood, Texas. With German, Norwegian, and Puerto Rican heritage, Alexis has the kind of striking sex appeal that even straight women notice, with a big, perfectly curvaceous ass that’s her trademark. After high school Alexis worked for a few years as a barmaid. At age 21 she took her big ass to the screen, where she knew it could be her moneymaker. Her first scene was in Shane’s World’s College Amateur Tour in Texas. After shooting some other movies in Florida, Alexis moved to L.A. for good.
That bubble butt brought Alexis to AVN’s attention and she was nominated for Best New Starlet 2008. She has since won AVN Awards for some of her best scenes, and was a Female Performer of the Year nominee in 2009. Alexis has won countless awards from critics and fans alike. In 2009 Alexis established her own company, Alexis Texas Entertainment, which is a subsidiary of Starlet Entertainment Group. She was featured in Hustler magazine’s 35th anniversary edition in June 2009. Summer 2011 saw the release of the horror comedy Bloodlust Zombies, her first non-adult role.
Alexis is one of the few performers to land the starring role of Buttwoman twice in the famous Elegant Angel series. Elegant signed her to an exclusive directing contract in 2015, with plans for her to revisit the Buttwoman series from behind the camera too. Alexis is unquestionably a star and she earns your load with hot performances in everything from gonzo to big-budget features to porn parodies. Whether she’s working with anal queen Belladonna, ass-worshipping Mason, or any other director, you can’t miss that Alexis’s greatest feature is her ass.

Asa Akira
When you’re looking for a woman who makes even the most hardcore anal fucking look beautiful and sensual, it doesn’t get better than Asa Akira. This Asian babe lives for sex and it shows! In 2008, shortly after turning 22, Asa made her first girl/girl scenes with Gina Lynn Productions, who also produced her boy/girl debut with Travis Knight. She also impressed Vince Vouyer when he filmed a hot threesome between her, Anthony Rosano, and Jerry for Vouyer Media’s Control Freaks. Asa’s essential movies are the Asa Akira Is Insatiable trilogy from Elegant Angel, the first of which features her first anal and first DP scenes. This movie was a hit with fans and won several awards at AVN 2011, including the fan-voted Favorite Movie. The 2011 sequel was equally popular and successful with six AVN trophies. At the 2013 AVN Awards, the final installment of the Insatiable trilogy also raked in awards.
Asa’s other XXX-rated accolades include Porn Star of the Year at the 2011 Urban X Awards, Female Performer of the Year at the 2012 XBIZ Awards, and AVN Performer of the Year 2013. The New York City native comes from a Japanese family and lived in Tokyo from ages six through 13, attending American schools. She moved back to NYC and is still a New York girl at heart, even though she now lives in L.A. In her spare time, Asa enjoys hip-hop, indie movies, cartoons and anime, and books such as Bret Easton Ellis’s American Psycho and Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash.

August Ames
Stunning August Ames looks like she belongs in a TV commercial selling you burgers or video games, or on calendar in a garage. In other words, she’s got the looks of a mainstream model and the body of a pin-up. Those 32DDs might look unreal, but they’re natural! August is a tit fanatic’s dream. Lucky for porn fans, she decided to use her powers for the good of all boner-kind!
August is from New Brunswick, Canada and began winning smut viewers’ hearts in 2013. Everything she does is a surefire stiffy, but some viewer favorites include Soapy Wet Tits (Jules Jordan Video), Lesbian Public Sex Fetish (Evil Angel/Dana Vespoli), and Friends And Family 4 (Smash Pictures).

Sasha Grey
Growing up in Sacramento, California, Sasha Grey (aka Sasha Gray) was a young film buff and intellectual who happened to develop an interest in porn. She worked through school and saved up to move to Los Angeles. After contacting an agent shortly after her 18th birthday, Sasha Grey was soon shooting her first scene in John Stagliano’s The Fashionistas 2, a 12-person orgy. Early on, Sasha demonstrated a penchant for extreme sex acts including double penetration and choking.
Los Angeles magazine predicted a great future for Sasha in November 2006, speculating that she could be the next Jenna Jameson. Early acclaim came with multiple AVN Awards in 2007 and 2008, including Female Performer of the Year 2008 (making her the youngest recipient of the award to date). XRCO named her Best New Starlet in 2007, Female Performer of the Year 2008, and Mainstream Adult Favorite in 2009. She had the starring role in Broken, rock star Dave Navarro’s high-profile directorial debut for Teravision. Sasha excels in Vivid’s dark fantasies Throat: A Cautionary Tale and Malice in Lala Land, while she lets her freak flag fly in the Tristan Taormino-directed Vivid instructional film Rough Sex. She was always as much in her element with girls as she was with men, and never is that more apparent than in Triangle Films’ stunning Strap-On Lesbians. Kink.com’s Device Bondage lets Sasha’s fetish-loving side shine through. The best way to experience all the sexual aspects of this hipster porn star, though, might be Fuck Sasha Grey, directed by Belladonna. Who better to capture Sasha’s erotic extravagance than one of her peers, who happens to be among porn’s most beloved porn star/directors?
Once the entertainment world caught on to Sasha, it wasn’t long before she was making appearances in music videos for the Smashing Pumpkins’ “Superchrist” and the Roots’ “Birthday Girl.” Rolling Stone magazine put her in its “Hot Issue” in December 2008. A month later she was all over mainstream press as the star of Steven Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience, playing a woman whose clients pay her to act out relationships with them. She became best known for playing a fictionalized version of herself as Vincent Chase’s girlfriend beginning in season seven of HBO’s Entourage. In 2011, not long after announcing her retirement from porn, she appeared alongside Rob Lowe and Jeremy Piven in the mainstream drama I Melt With You, as “a free spirit who helps one of the men realize that nirvana can only be achieved by death.” Never satisfied with limiting her expression, Sasha also has an experimental band, ATelecine, and has appeared on albums by legendary Jamaican noisemaker/musician Lee “Scratch” Perry and the influential experimental band Current 93.
All of Sasha’s mainstream attention led to her being named the Jenna Jameson Crossover Star of the Year at the 2010 AVN Awards. Sasha is one of the most successful stars to emerge from the adult industry and it will be exciting to see where her career he

Sunny Leone
As one of few porn stars with roots in India, Sunny Leone is a rarity whose beauty makes her stand out even more. Sunny was a nursing student who got a taste for the industry when she posed for Penthouse in 2001, and she was named Pet of the Month that March. Appearances in magazines such as Hustler and Swank followed, and in 2003 Sunny was the Penthouse Pet of the Year. That year she also starred with Tera Patrick in the video Penthouse Pets in Paradise.
Sunny signed a contract as a girl/girl performer with Vivid in 2005, becoming the first Vivid Girl of Indian descent. That December saw the release of Sunny, her first starring role. Her next movie, Virtual Vivid Girl Sunny Leone, made her the first Vivid Girl to do an interactive film and won Sunny her first AVN Award (Best Interactive DVD). When Sunny signed for six more films with Vivid in 2007, she agreed to perform with one man: her then-fiancé Matt Erikson. Her first movie under this contract, Sunny Loves Matt, was also her first post-breast augmentation feature. Sunny split from Erikson in January 2008, freeing her to perform with other men. She delivered particularly sizzling boy/girl scenes in such classic Vivid flicks as The Other Side of Sunny and Sunny’s B/G Adventure. After leaving Vivid, Sunny continued to get fans overheated with standout performances in Deviance from SkinworXXX/Adam & Eve and Goddess (her first anal scene) from her own company, SunLust Pictures. In April 2012 Sunny overtook Jenna Jameson at the coveted top spot of the Fame Registry, an online ranking of porn stars based on Internet searches and web traffic.
One of the few porn stars to achieve major mainstream success, Sunny has appeared on TV many times, including the 2005 MTV Awards on MTV India, the 2006 World Series of Poker, E!’s Wild On, and Fox Reality’s My Bare Lady 2. Impressive though her list of appearances already was, it couldn’t compare to being cast on Bigg Boss 5, a popular Indian reality show, in 2011. This was her ticket to Bollywood. Acclaimed Indian film producer Pooja Bhatt cast her in the sequel to her father Mahesh Bhatt’s 2003 hit Jism. (Though it’s certainly erotic, explicit scenes are illegal in India.) Sunny became a resident of India, took Hindi lessons, and trained physically for the movie, which began filming in April 2012. Sunny went on to even greater Bollywood success with horror film titled Ragini MMS 2, directed by Pawan Kripalani, and a three-film deal with producer Parag Sanghvi of Alumbra Entertainment worth more than USD$1 million. Her Bollywood fame prompted her to retire from adult film, yet her popularity among porn fans is as strong as ever.
Sunny sex toys include a pocket pal molded to her vagina and a Sunny Leone Exciter vibrator. In September 2009, Sunny released the first officially sanctioned iPhone application featuring a porn star, consisting of non-nude photos, videos and a blog written by Sunny, but it was pulled in 2010. As a result of her tech friendliness, AVN named Sunny Web Starlet of the Year at the 2010 AVN Awards.
Though born in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, Sunny moved with her family to the US as a teenager. She loves video games, Italian food, reading, soccer, and horseback riding.

Lisa Ann
Porn goddess Lisa Ann (briefly known in the 1990s as Zina Sunshine, Lisa, and Leesa) is still going strong and as sexy as ever! As a phenomenon in the 1990s, Lisa Ann rocked the industry when she took a sabbatical in 1997 and didn’t return until early 2006. Studios could hardly wait to get their hands on her. She is known in the industry as a perfectionist who chooses her projects and partners carefully. This busty Italian beauty has perfect olive skin, silky dark brown hair, a coy smile, and a seductive charm that makes men melt. Lisa Ann has a sweet, sensual personality but loves the rougher things in life, like fast cars and wild parties.
With her widespread mainstream notoriety in 2008 as the Sarah Palin-lookalike star of Hustler’s crossover smash hit Who’s Nailin’ Paylin, it’s no surprise that Lisa Ann won high-profile awards in early 2009. She was the Performer of the Year at the VOD Awards and the MILF/Cougar Performer of the Year at the AVN Awards, and was inducted into the AVN Hall of Fame that year. She’s been showered with nominations and awards ever since. Lisa Ann has reprised the Paylin/Palin role multiple times in what has become a successful series of parodies. She has even played the Tina Fey role in the hit 30 Rock: A XXX Parody, after Fey famously spoofed Palin on Saturday Night Live. Lisa Ann is also the first star to win two AEBN VOD Performer of the Year awards, in 2009 and 2011.
Lisa Ann’s name is synonymous with porn star longevity and mature sex appeal – one look at any of her scenes will show you why. To see this beauty at her best, we recommend Gang Banged (Elegant Angel Productions), Lex Vs. Lisa Ann (Evil Angel), MILF Revolution (Jules Jordan Video), and too many others to fit in this space!
