Carli Banks

Blue-eyed blonde farmgirl Carli Banks was one of the most popular adult models in the mid-2000s to early 10s. Growing up in Iowa, Banks was always the prettiest girl in school and was told she could be a model. After graduating in 2004, she went to Los Angeles with the hope of being discovered and signed with an agency. A Penthouse scout discovered her while waiting outside an agency and agreed to represent her. She would appear on the cover of Penthouse but turned down being a Penthouse Pet since her ultimate goal was to be a Playboy Playmate. This led to numerous other appearances in other publications like Hustler and Suze Randall, although her dream of being in Playboy would never happen. A porn career soon followed in 2005. Banks only worked with women for most of her career in over 250 movies and scenes. This was partly because she had a boyfriend but also cause she never got the chance to act on her bisexuality in conservative Iowa and was free to do so in porn. She is noted for her many lesbian scenes with Celeste Star and their great chemistry together. At the end of her career, she began doing boy/girl scenes with her then-boyfriend for her own website. In 2012, at the age of 27, she shocked many by retiring and moving back to Iowa. She posed for 434 covers, 292 photosets, and 142 videos before retiring in 2012.
