Lilly Banks
A little reserved, and a lot girl-down-your-street, Lilly Banks is one of those XXX greenhorns who
make you do a double-take and exclaim, “Her?! Porn??! Get outta here…”
But the Michigan native wasn’t quite as innocent as she appears before finding her way to Porn
Valley, having stripped back home for about a year prior to giving dirty videos a shot. Nevertheless,
she maintains that she’s no wild child.
“I am pretty normal, actually, always have been,” Lilly asserts. “I’ve always been the good girl and
was the one with no cool stories to tell. I was sick of being the innocent one and just doing what kept
others happy. I wanted to live for myself, so I decided not to hold myself back anymore and do what I
wanted to do.”
Not that she had no reservations about getting into the business, but she soon found that she liked
it much more than she ever would have thought.
“I was terrified of porn,” Lilly admits. “I heard all the crazy stories and thought nothing but the
worst of porn. Now I love it and feel so safe in it. There’s actually a lot of good people in porn, every-
one’s pretty professional for the most part. It’s completely different than I thought it’d be, but in a
good way.”
Eventually, Lilly—an avid animal lover—hopes to put her degree in veterinary technology to use.
But in the meantime, she’s more than happy to go on practicing animal love of another sort.

Girls
Raven Bay
She’s a study in contrasts: With her jet-black hair and copious ink, Raven Bay looks like a hard
punker, but she’s working her way to a psychology degree. Initially intending to be only a girl/girl
performer, she changed her mind after coming to California to shoot.
“I used to dance a little bit, and I met a girl who was in the industry, and she got me to fuck
around with her a little bit on-camera, and I was like ‘Oh my God, this is for me.’ I came to
California thinking I was only going to do girl/girl, and the next day I was like, ‘[I was a] jerk. I
wanna fuck.’ I was definitely [into] boy/girl. Sign me up,” she says.
“You can follow me on Twitter at @RavenBayXX. Two X’s because I was only going to do
girl/girl. It should have been three.”
The bi-coastal (came from Florida, studied in New York, now in California) performer’s easy
smile and torrid performances have made her a new face to watch.
Teal Conrad
Naming herself after her favorite color, this tall, dark drink of water from Oregon
modeled for Nike before easing herself into adult with the help of Kacey Jordan,
whose sister was a onetime classmate of hers. Immediately, Teal Conrad caught the
industry’s attention, enough so to score a three-month contract with Babes.com and
be appointed a trophy girl at the 2013 AVN Awards.
Since then, she has shot a number of times for Wicked Pictures, as well as for
Jules Jordan Video, Elegant Angel Productions, Bang Productions and more; she’s
gotten her start on the feature dancing circuit; and she pulled a second trophy girl
stint at the first annual Fanny Awards during April’s Exxxotica Expo in Atlantic City.
All of which has just been part of her warm-up. “I feel like the more I get
involved, the more that comes at me, and I just want more and more because I’m
like a little kid in a candy store,” Conrad says. “I’ve met some really great people.
I’ve had some really great experiences and some really cool opportunities, and I’ve
had a lot of fun. I hope it never stops.”
Look for her official website, TealConrad.com, to be off the ground by the time
this piece has reached your eyeballs.
