“I’m flattered. I’m wowed and
I’m happy. Because I did not have
that expectation. If you don’t have
any expectations, then you’re not
disappointed.”
If there is one message Kendra Lust wants to convey from her upcoming
autobiography, it’s that her work does not define her.
“Just because you’re an adult performer doesn’t mean you can’t have a
family or be a great wife, a great friend or an entrepreneur,” Lust says. “With
this book I want to shed some light about me and a little about the industry.
Hopefully, my fans will be interested in picking it up.”
The legion of fans known on social media as the #LustArmy has become
a group so formidable it has made the curvaceous native of Michigan the
AVN Award-winner for Hottest MILF for a record four straight years through
online fan voting.
Combined with her back-to-back trophies for AVN MILF Performer of the
Year in 2016-17, Lust is marching toward a first-ballot AVN Hall of Fame
induction—not to mention future legend status.
“It’s crazy to me,” Lust admits. “It’s almost like pinch me—I don’t believe
it. I’m grateful… It’s exciting. It gives me more validation, knowing it’s a true
fan vote. I think it’s authentic.
“I’m flattered. I’m wowed and I’m happy. Because I did not have
that expectation. If you don’t have any expectations, then you’re not
disappointed.”
While numbers never tell the whole story, they are hard to ignore with Lust,
a social media phenom who has accumulated one of the largest followings
in the world. She boasted 5.3 million followers on Instagram and another
909,000-plus on Twitter at press time in mid-April.
Speaking of impressive numbers, Lust’s performances have generated
hundreds of millions of video views on mega tube sites such as Pornhub
and XVideos in the past eight years, making her just about a permanent
fixture in the top porn star rankings on both sites. Her list of scene credits is
nearing 400, according to IAFD. Lust appreciates the love.
“First, I always want to thank the fans and let them know I am truly, truly
grateful that they enjoy my porn and I really am passionate about what I
do,” Lust says. “I wouldn’t be able to give my family a better life—first and
foremost—without their support. Secondly, I am really excited and a little bit
nervous about the book, more-so than anything I’ve ever done.
