Ok, first things first. I guess I should explain why I used to tell eveyone I was married. When I went to LA to do my first movie I was scared to death. I had heard all the horror stories about the adult industy. Therefore, I told everyone that I was married. In my mind that would stop anyone from hassling me, etc. It turned out that it really wasn't necessary. Vivid and all the crew turned out to be very nice people. Ok, back to the beginning. I was born in California and moved to Texas when I was a little girl. My mother and father split up when I was in the eighth grade and I was I was basically on my own after that. I did the things that all young people do. Worked at Burger King, McDonalds and waitressed at IHOP. I always remember working nights on the weekends. That's when the people who had been out partying would come in . They'd expect you to hustle your butt off and then leave without tipping. I had a boyfriend when I was 16. He was into religion bigtime, but would love to slap me around when he got mad. I dated him for about a year. That was actually the only boyfriend I ever had. I lived in an appartment for awhile with my sister, and then when I was by myself I lived in the back of a little motel. I knew the people and they rented me a room on a monthly basis. How did I get into the adult industry? I knew someone who was going to California, and I asked them if I could ride along so that I could visit my relatives. I hadn't seen them since I was a little girl. He said okay ( I paid half the gas) and he dropped me at my relatives. I was supposed to meet him near Venice Beach for the ride home. That's where I met Stephen Hicks. He saw me and ask if I would like to shoot for Penthouse. I didn't really say anything at the time, but when I got home I called and said okay. They flew me back out to LA a month later and shot me for Penthouse. Penthouse liked it so well that they flew me out a few months later and Earl Miller did a shoot with me. Then Stephen Hicks did a girl-girl shoot with Jenna Jameson and myself for Penthouse. The magazines started happening from there. Thats when I started dancing. I learned to dance at a little club in Texas, and then went on the road doing Penthouse features all over the US and Canada. I kept shooting for all of the magazines, and things started happening. That's when I decided to do my own website. I had a person that I knew help me set up the original dreamy.com and played with it for a couple of years. It really didn't make any money. I remember that I had this one banner for Vegas Live. My site actually sent enough people to their site that they owed me almost $30,000 in commissions. I found out that the manager of the site would transfer the stats to fake links and then issue commission checks to the fake accounts and cash them. That's why there are no banners on my site. I have never found an honest internet sex site to link to. That's when I decided to do my site myself, but the one thing I needed was more notoriety. So I contacted Vivid about doing movies for them and the rest is history. I've been a busy person ever since. I'm doing my new site www.lorilive.com all by myself and trying to make it profitable.
