Raylene returns to porn

2009-08-18T01:37:00.000-07:00

The internet pornosphere lit up like a San Fernando Valley wildfire this morning with chatter that former Vivid Girl Raylene was on the verge of making a hardcore comeback.

AVN promptly got a hold of the 2008 inductee into our Hall of Fame, and she confirmed that yes, she is scheduled to shoot for Vivid, under the direction of B. Skow - marking her first appearance in front of the camera in eight years.

"I'm doing one comeback movie for Vivid so far, we're going to see how it works out, and we'll go from there," Raylene told. "I met with Steven Hirsch, last week. I sent him an e-mail, and he said he'd be willing to sit down and talk to me, so we met, had a great conversation, and yeah, we're going to try one. So it was just really recent that I decided this."

Raylene makes no attempt to deny that at least part of her motivation for this return lies in the effects she's seen from the crippled housing market, having made a successful career for herself as a Porn Valley real estate agent since parting ways with the industry in '01.

"Times are tough and I have to do what I have to do," she said. "I'm excited in some ways, and in other ways I'm kind of scared, because I'm a mother and I have a husband who I love very much.

"My husband and I are pretty open, we have kind of a weird, freaky relationship," she went on. "It actually is, in a way, a little bit sexually motivated because I think that it'll open up our little sexual world a little bit. I'm just going to give it a try, see what happens."

Though her final decision to make this move may have only come within the last week, Raylene said, "I've been kicking the idea around for a little over a year. I met with a company last year, and for me, it just wasn't the right timing, I didn't feel like I could actually perform. For a long time I haven't really had an interest in getting back in the business - I worked really hard with my real estate career - but things are different now. If things work out with this movie, I'm kind of looking at like a two-year plan."

Raylene said she's at once eager and nervous to see how things have changed since she hung up her performing hat.

"I heard the industry has changed dramatically since I've been in it, so I don't know what to expect," she said. "But I know that I'm in good hands over at Vivid, and I'm working for people that I'm familiar with, so that's comforting."

She did admit that, "I have a little bit of body image issues, even though I know that I look good - Steve wouldn't hire me if I didn't - but you know, I've had a baby. But I think that it'll work out and I'll probably be able to snap back into it pretty easy once I get on set."

Still, Raylene said, "I'm in a different head space than I was when I was in the business before. I don't use drugs, I have a family to come home to every night, so I think that my goals are way different than they were. I'm not interested in doing it just to party and have fun. Of course, I'll have fun on set, why wouldn't I? It is sex, for goodness sake."

Perhaps the most surprising thing to Raylene surrounding this announcement is the instant spark of near rabid excitement it set off among industry observers.

"It's kind of funny to me," she said. "I didn't know I still had fans! I stayed out of the light for so long, I didn't know that anybody cared."

Raylene

Raylene has an amazing 35/24/36 body and a cover face. Born February 12, 1977, this 5 foot 7, red haired goddess started down to the road to XXX stardom in 1997. Originally from Glendora, California she resides in L.A. When she is not working on some hot new movie she likes to spend her time drag racing and playing with her two dogs. Her favorite color is cobalt blue, and her favorite food is cheese. Because of her combination of Mexican and Israeli ethinic heritage people often say she looks like Alyssa Milano and Sophia Loren - which might of played part in her getting signed to an exclusive contract with Vivid Video in 1998. In that time Raylene has made numerous top quality adult titles and for those Raylene fans, she now even has her own 4 hour compilation title, called Totally Raylene. She started her career under the name Alexis Fontaine, began her career with bit parts for some Wicked pictures movies such as "Exile" and "Her Wicked Obsession" but soon after signed an exclusive contract with Vivid Girls in 1998 and made her "contract girl" debut with the release of "As Sweet As They Come". For a while she was making only a few movies a year but as her fan base continues to grow so does the number of movies she makes a year. After a relationship with Alec Metro, she began dating Frank Salvaggio, a bass player for the Canadian rock band "Slaves on Dope." Her ties to music also include cage dancing with Kobe Tai at the 2000 Grammy Awards during Kid Rock's performance. She also starred alongside Vivid star Janine the video for Everclear's remake of "The Boys are Back in Town." In November 2001, Pornstar Raylene's contract with Vivid Video ended.

"American Pie 2," of course, is the controversial (there's a big flap over condom endorsements) sequel to the raunchy sex romp of a couple of years ago. The film is about the adventures of a pack of college freshmen on a break. At one point the guys are in a rented house watching porn on TV and the footage is from Vivid.

Raylene meets Fans

2009-05-15T13:25:00.000-07:00

Former Vivid Girl Raylene will greet fans and sign autographs Saturday night in Las Vegas after the opening of the musical Birdy's Bachelorette Party at the Stratosphere.

Now better known as Stacey Hirsch, a successful West Valley real estate agent, Raylene is appearing as her former porn persona as a favor to a close relative of hers who is producing the show.

"It's kind of a special thing," Raylene told. "It's not something I will be doing all the time."

She said that there is "a Broadway edition of this particular musical. The focus of the show is a big, giant mechanical penis. So it's adult oriented but it does not have adult content. It's not porn."

Raylene will do her signing after the first performance at a bookstore adjoining the Stratosphere showroom.

"I do look forward to meeting fans again," she said. "It will be interesting. I am definitely rusty. I have been doing the real estate thing for a long time. I have not seen a fan in god knows how long."

Raylene at the Grammys

24th February 2000
"This is bullshit. Fuck the Grammy's!" was the reaction of Jenna Jameson to the news that she, a Wicked Pictures contract star, was being cut from appearing with Kid Rock during his on-stage appearance at the 42nd Grammy's.

Jameson was to have appeared on a motorcycle behind Kid Rock while he performed, Wicked publicist Joy King says, with Kobe Tai and Raylene also booked to do pole work during Kid Rock's spot.

"We found out that Kobi Tai and Raylene were going to be there..." King says. "When we found out the other girls were doing the show we spoke to Atlantic Records. They said they didn't know anything about it. Kid Rock's manager said The Academy did not know they were porn stars.

Michael Greene, president of the Recording Academy, announced that this year's Grammy's were to bring us into the 21st Century. "You've never seen a Grammy show like this," he said. "We are pulling out all the stops and doing things you have never seen us do before."

Looks like hypocracy and small mindedness have also made it into the 21st century.

Raylene at XTC

2009-05-06T13:05:00.000-07:00

12th November 2001
For the past two years San Antonio nights have been heated up by the dancers at XTC Cabaret, who perform wearing nothing more than a smile for audiences increasingly comprised of couples as well as businessmen.

Adding more authority to the story is the fact that XTC is owned by a company with shares traded on NASDAQ, Rick's Cabaret International, Inc. To help celebrate the second anniversary of the Sable Lane nightspot, XTC has imported one of the most popular adult film stars of recent years, Vivid Girl Raylene, who will entertain in three nightly shows from November 14th through November 17th. As part of the anniversary festivities, radio 99.5 KISS Rocks San Antonio will broadcast live from the club on Thursday from 10 p.m. to Midnight.

Rick's Cabaret CEO Eric Langan says XTC has become one of the most popular adult night spot in San Antonio by "offering customers a safe environment to enjoy adult entertainment in a upscale environment.'' He added: "Guys feel much more comfortable bringing wives or girlfriends to our shows these days, which reflects both the liberal attitudes of our times and the fact that our entertainment is actually good, with dancers and choreography. We chose Raylene to help celebrate our anniversary because she is one of the most popular actresses both with guys and for couples' viewing.''
