^I think we all understand that you are/were a huge fan of Alina so her departure must have hit you hard but there is no way that Alina is a legend. That's not to say that she couldn't have become one if she had stayed but she was simply in porn for such a short period of time that she will never make it unto that esteemed list of legends. I'd also like to point out that James Dean is a screen legend not because he did many movies but because of the ones he did were so memorable and is acting talent on screen is undeniable. He only starred in 3 movies but these movies are still being watched today. Tracy is a legend for many reason not the least of which is that she was not just underage when she shot her movies but she was very underage. There hasn't been many 15 year old porn performers in the history of porn. In fact Tracy may be the only one. There was a 16 year old in Europe but she shot such a small amount of movies that she doesn't compare.

No, man. Your opinion is not fact. Traci Lords is more infamous than legend, not a legend. But then, I must be wrong because I don't think a performer with one year under her belt is on the same level as some of the great performers of all time,
^ Traci Lords was already a porn legend in her own time when nobody had the slightest clue she was underage , her impact on the Industry was so heavy because she was extremely popular, a legend, other stars have been caught but none had any actual impact on the Industry for example Alexandria Nice was another. Traci Lords was devastating to the Industry due to her legendary status already

None of those girls are remotely a legend if you go by this definition from Dictionary.com: legend /ˈlɛdʒənd/ noun 1. a popular story handed down from earlier times whose truth has not been ascertained 2. a group of such stories: the Arthurian legend 3. a modern story that has taken on the characteristics of a traditional legendary tale
^ I have no idea why you went straight to the British definition and skipped over the one before it. Also, there was this little arrow there that denoted there are more definitions. If you'd clicked it, you would have seen: 4. a person whose fame or notoriety makes him a source of exaggerated or romanticized tales or exploits

Well, because that definition didn't come up for one when I looked up the actual definition. And, if you read your inclusion that still doesn't make any of those people legends. In fact, I looked it up again just to see how I missed your addition and these are the ones that popped up. 1. a nonhistorical or unverifiable story handed down by tradition from earlier times and popularly accepted as historical. 2. the body of stories of this kind, especially as they relate to a particular people, group, or clan: "the winning of the West in American legend." 3. an inscription, especially on a coat of arms, on a monument, under a picture, or the like. 4. a table on a map, chart, or the like, listing and explaining the symbols used. Compare key1(def 8). 5. Numismatics, inscription (def 8). 6. a collection of stories about an admirable person. 7.a person who is the center of such stories: "She became a legend in her own lifetime." So based on all the different definitions added, at no point does it say that just because a porn star crank out a ton of releases does it remotely make them a legend.
^ Cranking out a lot of popular scenes in an extended career would make them legends in the field of pornography. The type of performer that people would tell "legends" (as in the story definition) about. They'd basically fit the #7 definition you posted (being the center of a collection of stories about an admirable person).
Can we not argue about definitions? Merriam-Webster, which is the dictionary used for newspaper definition and spelling questions, has: 1: of, relating to, or characteristic of legend or a legend 2: well-known, famous Under the second definition people can argue successfully either way that she is legendary or not based on how much of the population is aware of her or can even narrow it down by stating that she is legendary within the adult industry, which again could be argued successfully either way. Lets not turn this into a battle of who is right and who is wrong under varying semantics. Edited by - flash on 9/21/2014 10:22:39 AM

Wish she didn't compeletely disappear, and at least keep her Twitter account alive like Chloe Foster after retirement. Would have been nice to see pictures of her from time to time. Oh well.
Yeah I don't know why we are having this debate because Alina is the best pornstar that ever was or will be. Her incredible impact in all spheres just can't be denied. End of discussion.
I was I the camp that there is no way Alina could be considered a legend. However, I heard a CBS promo for Survivor featuring "baseball legend" John Rocker. So, if he can be considered a legend......
New scene on Bangbros. Also @alinalixxx seems to be active again on Twitter. First posts since February on September 26th. Possible return. Wouldn't be massively surprised if it was a burn out.
probably may be whats known as a"twitter squatter"..if the new post mentions something about"come join me in webcam chat" then its probably a fake as for that BB scene it most likely is one they been sitting on for sometime

Seems like it's really her on Twitter! Hope and pray that means a comeback in the future. Hopefully if she comes back again, she takes it slower this time and doesn't burn out again.
Yup, seems to be active on Twitter.I think she just needed a break and needed to realize she has the authority to do certain scenes that are best for her, not for others.
^ & ^^ I don't know the details as to why Alina chose to leave the porn industry but I get the feeling that whatever they were are still the same now. It's not like she left years ago and that's why I'm not holding much hope for a return. Another reason is that she was for all intense and purposes a fairly new performer and when they leave. They rarely come back.
Slight mistake on my part, the Twitter account has been active since August, however it only has 56 posts, some of which are retweets from earlier in the year, so it could be that someone has stolen the account, but the handle is the one other porn stars tweeted on her. As for burnout. It tends to be the newer girls who burn out. They shoot a lot of scenes in a short period and then something happens and they quit. In this case it seems to be linked to the public disgrace shoot.
Sometimes I forget how hot Alina Li is and then I watch a scene and remember how badly I want to see her return to porn. Maybe she will return like Madison Scott. I am so glad we have Dakota Skye and Kayla Kayden as well. They are my favorites right now. I just miss the perfect body of Alina Li. Her tight pussy drove me crazy.
Alina Li in Manuels Maximum Penetration. Does this mean shes back? Or is it a scene shot before she quit? Manuels Maximum Penetration Edited by - Sweetlarryxx on 1/14/2015 5:07:57 AM
