Lexi Lore: Erotique Star
A native of Virginia, 19-year-old Lexi Lore started
out as a cam performer last August and has only
performed in professional adult productions since
December, when she signed with Miami-based Hussie
Models. Prior to jumping into adult full time, she
was working in a restaurant, but “I was making more
money camming, and I was kind of bored of that,” she
told AVN. “So I was looking for a job ... my dad told
me I should look for a job on Craigslist, and I did, and
I saw the adult section and I was like, ‘Oh, this looks
interesting,’ and I found porn.”
And now, the blond newcomer has signed a one-
year agreement with performer/director Eric John’s
Erotique Entertainment that involves a per-month scene
stipulation, cross-promotion and collaborative content
production.
Lore connected with John when she first came to
L.A. in February and he booked her for one of his
ErotiqueTV live shows. He says he felt an instant
kinship with Lore and was compelled to partner with
her as soon as possible. “A small amount of people
really stick with you after the scene,” he enthused,
“and our scene was magical, but then on the way home
talking, there was a bunch of things about stuff she said
that really resonated with me.”
When Lore returned to L.A. earlier this month, John
had her booked again, and as she tells it, “We talked,
and everything kind of aligned nicely.”
As far as the contract, John explained that it does not
call for exclusivity, but “there’s a salary for a certain
number of live shows, a certain number of cross-
promotional activities, then in addition to that we plan
to co-produce, co-own a whole set of other stuff that
will be collaborative and expand both of our platforms.”
Lore and John will share rights to the content they
shoot together during the coming year of the deal for
distribution across their respective platforms—in his
case, the Erotique sites, and in hers, ManyVids and
IsMyGirl at present, with others to possibly be added in
the future.
For her part, Lore said she hopes this deal will help
position her as a viable brand name in control of her
own path. “My goal is to not rely on anybody else,”
she offered. “I want my own content to be successful
enough ... like right now Eric’s helping me out a lot,
so I’m hoping that by the end of the year, I’ll be in a
better place and I’ll be able to help Eric out. So it’s like a
mutual thing.”
She also plans to continue the online courses she’s
already begun taking in computer science—one more
bit of correlation between herself and John. “I’m still
enrolled in them, I just don’t have a base college to go
to here,” she said. “But I want to be able to do
computer science as well, I feel like it will tie into
the industry really well, and I can do something
with that.”
Concluded John, “She thinks strategically. Most
people think tactically. So I think if you think
strategically, you can get an edge on the people that
only think tactically, and I see that in her and the way
she approaches things. So for me, it will benefit the
company to be associated with her, I think it will benefit
her to be associated with the company, and I think we
can produce some good stuff together.”

Blaten Lee: ‘A New Baby-MILF’
“I always wanted to do this. I’m sad I waited
so long.” That’s what Blaten Lee says about
entering the adult industry in her early 30s. Her
first scene was with male talent Andrew for Net
Video Girls: “It was amazing. It was really fun. It
had a lot of good dialogue to it. It was, like, being
nervous, which I was anyway, so it worked out
perfect.”
Lee describes her previous office career as “50
hours a week, basically, for a long time.” The
breaking point came when she asked for a $1 raise
and was turned down: “I had worked there for
so long, and I saw these interns coming in and
working for free—$100 a week—and the boss
said, ‘I can pay them $100 a week and I don’t have
to pay you.’ I was like, ‘Okay. Goodbye.’ I decided
now was the time to change my life.”
In the adult industry, she likes “the freedom
to sexually explore yourself and others—and I do
enjoy it. I’ve always been a really sexual person,
more horny than my boyfriend or whoever I was
with at the time. Now that I’m here, it’s amazing
how much I’ve learned. I have some years behind
me, and I thought I knew a lot, but I’ve learned
so much about myself. Things that I liked that I
didn’t even know I like. I like people playing with
my feet. Dirty talking. There’s so much. I’m so
excited.”
Lee says she’d like to work with Lucas Frost
(“He’s super cute”) and would like to do an orgy:
“Seven or eight girls, and two or three guys.
Instead of a sausage fest, we’d have a girl fest. I
can just be one of the girls.”
Her interests include some thrill-seeking
activities. “I did rodeo in high school,” Lee says.
“Team roping, goat roping, stuff like that.” And
she also loves NASCAR—“but I like any fast car. I
like to drive a lot. Ride motorcycles fast, too.”
At 33, she refers to herself as “a new baby-
MILF,” observing, “It’s the risks you don’t take
that you regret.”
