A good Thursday morning, David!
I'm now thinking to myself, what girl from my high school would have the "perfect" porn star name for any other classmate to take upon entering the industry?
oooh just remembered Nicola Andrews (or Nickerless Andrews as some called her). If you ever read this Nicola, it wasn't me.
Something like this happened with mariah Carey as well, can't remember what the porn name was though.
too funny! i like brian's idea ...h'mmmmm
Well, that was pretty damn stupid of her. If you're gonna steal a name, make it a little less unique.
Guess she must have stolen her lunch money at school or something - talk about bearing a grudge..
Hi Brian,
Exactly the same question I've been asking myself - and I still haven't come up with the answer!
Cheers

Hi Papoosue,
I just got an email from Nicola's lawyer, asking for your contact details.
I suddenly developed amnesia - just as you should too!

Hi Lady T,
Now that's a story that escaped me - but I'll do some research!

Hi Savannah,
Maybe we can persuade him to do a blogpost on that subject!

Hi Bart,
Maybe she thought she'd never make the bigtime.

Hi Carol,
That's one way of sorting out a grudge, isnt it!

I Googled my first and last name, found a drag queen and an author.
Hi Darlene,
Ah, but was the drag queen also an author?
Cheers
