Back in the day, savvy exotic dancers saw the value of shooting magazine pictorials as a way to put their names out there. Of course, magazine modeling was a good source of extra income too. Ambitious models and strippers were not lazy back then.

Being featured in a magazine spread or, even better, becoming a covergirl, let the general club-going public know who the girl was. Many of the girls set up tables with magazines, videos and instant photos for sale at the clubs when they were not on stage. If you visited clubs to see feature dancers back then, you know exactly what we mean.

Ava Lustra and Kayla Kupcakes shared a cover and a girl-girl layout in the August 1995 issue of SCORE. They also shared a similar Vegas showgirl look: big, blond hair, a slim, curvy body and big tits.

Ava appeared in a few hardcore scenes with studs in the 1990s while Kayla waited until the mid-2000s to try XXX, and when she did, after we had asked her for years, she took it on like she was making up for lost time.

Ava made more leg tease videos than big-boob videos, and it’s easy to see why. Most of the videos were solo scenes for foot and leg lovers. Teasing, nylons and heels were what the audience wanted, and Ava could deliver that kind of rush.
