“I’ll be on one of those
posters one day...”
Six-year veteran Lilly Bell was a house dancer and cam performer in Portland, Oregon, and
was considering moving into commercial scenes when, “People will judge me for saying this, but
I watched that ‘Hot Girls Wanted: Turned On’ documentary.”
“Not the original one, the second one,” Bell says. “They showed it in a way that twisted things,
but I still wanted to continue. I was also camming, and Vanessa Veracruz was in that documentary
and she was camming.
“I did dancing in Portland, and I wanted to feature. I met Laney Grey and we did a content shoot
in Vegas. We talked about eventually starting in the industry, and then a year later we both got out
of our relationships, we both signed with an agent, and the rest is history.”
After a time as a g/g and solo performer, she took the plunge into b/g in 2019. “I was flying into
L.A., and camming and dancing in Portland. Every day when I walked up the stairs in the club,
there was a picture of Kimmy Granger, a promo poster for her appearance there. Every day I
would see that photo, and I would say, ‘I’ll be on one of those posters one day, and that’ll be me
in some club.’ That has happened.”
She commemorates her personal history with her tattoos. A fine-line accordion on her arm
honors her grandfather.
“He was in Buchenwald, in Germany. They were liberated on April 11, 1945. He survived because
he could play the accordion. He would play at night, for the Nazis, and he had really good
penmanship so he would write letters. I got it done in Berlin,” Bell says.
A fir tree on her left arm is the state tree for Oregon, and a palm tree on her right arm represents
Los Angeles.
