plandr: Record noted!!! You obviously have a gift. To Dragon Sign's whimsy: To begin with, in late 2005 ( November ) when she made her debut, I'm not sure what she thought she was going to get out of the " business ". At 18 ( and 3 months ) she definitely had the " innocence " down pat. With that, she was pretty cute and seemed to be totally out of place. I believe there was an audience for that. She also is a pretty smart cookie and after a while got the " hang " of the business. Producers and directors liked her because in the mode of Katie Morgan, she was " perky and punctual ". She dropped her " Nollie " moniker, picked up an agent ( not necessarily in that order ) and became " LEXI BELLE ". The rest is history. From 2006-2013 she worked her ass off as a GDI willing and able to work with damn near anybody. She learned about the convention circuit in 2007 at AEE and has been a regular at nearly all the conventions ( Erotica, Exxxotica, AEE, etc ) ever since... getting her name out. In 2011, she started on the dance circuit ever broadening her base. After numerous shoots with Penthouse, she became Pet of the Month in May, 2013 and eventually Pet of the Year in 2014. 2012-13 seems to have been her pinnacle regarding shooting because from that point she gradually stopped shooting scenes. Today, she seems to be at a crossroads: officially " retiring " last year yet, she still attends shows and has a few feature dance gigs from time to time. Lexi has been a " fave "of mine since I first met her ( at AEE ) in 2008. Between 2008-2013 she was one of the top adult entertainers without a doubt. How did she accomplish that? I guess, if you met her...you already know. If you haven't met her I hope my " fanboy " rant helps.
She looks great ( photo from AEE 2017 ). Not sure about the " for fans only ". Kind of sad that she abandoned her " lexibelle.com " some time ago. I can still remember when she won Best New website about 5 years ago.
^^ I haven't used it personally, but from what I can tell it's basically like you pay money to follow someone and get access to the pictures/videos they post. From what I've seen, most performers have it post to twitter whenever they post something there (you can see the message, but not the pic/movie), so you can look at their twitter profile and get a general idea of how much they use it.
I'd be happy if she just started shooting some customs.... anything just to see her in front of the camera again. Maybe one day..... Just imagine her shooting for the likes of Tushy, Vixen, Blacked. She would be amazing.
^ We already know she has a convention appearance coming next week (the first Exxxotica show of the year in Denver). Though I wouldn't get my expectations as high as a return to boy/girl either.
^^Yup that's where I'm at. It doesn't cost me anything really to temper my expectations. That way if her announcement is akin to :"I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico!" then I won't be disappointment.
^ That's the thing people are missing here. A new website means new content for said website, since I doubt that whatever it is is solely going to be content from her old website (heck, she might not even have access to most of that content anymore). If nothing else, it would mean she isn't fully retired.
Guys better get used to it because this is the future. More and more production companies will fail while porn stars begin to take control of their own content.
Good luck to Lexi. If she provides frequent updates with shit that I like (mostly solo/all-girl with few or no dudes) then I'd totally sign up.

If it is anything like Riley Reids personal site reidmylips.com everybody will be very happy
I'm not too sure what her business plan was when she decided to start another site but I sincerely hope she didn't spend a lot of money on her new site because she isn't going to make that money back. The most generous thing I can say about her new site is that it's disappointing. If I'm being honest than it sucks. For 10$(that's very reasonable) you currently get five videos of which 4 of them are at least 5 days old, you get 6 photo sets of which 5 are at least one week old, a blog that isn't much better than if you follow her on twitter, a store that is basically a portal of her asking for free stuff and the link to her Amazon wish list.
What I wonder, and just from a brief perusal of the site I was unable to deduce (as I didn't see examples of), is whether Lexi will be putting up fresh hardcore content on her site (and whether of the g/g, or b/g variety or both)

I just hope she will put her website to use and actually release some good hardcore scenes ! If she's back, she needs to shoot some good anal scenes and DP's for the fans ... I really like Lexi (beautiful blonde princess) but if she doesn't put out content that people want to see, she'll be irrelevant and forgotten in no time ...
Kids, give her some time... She won't disappoint. She's just returning from Exxxotica.

Lexi is great, no one is going to debate that ! However if she doesn't release any hardcore scenes and if her site is only used to post soft videos and pictures, give news about herself and ask for gifts from her wishlist, people are simply not going to remain invested in her and will switch their attention to girls who are more active ... I'd like to name Riley Reid's website as an example. To me, that website (reid my lips) is the perfect example of how a website should be and what kind of content should be posted on it. Riley didn't even think about doing anal and yet she made her website and shot her first gangbang on it, THAT is some great content ! Lexi is beautiful but unfortunately there are way too many great girls in the industry nowadays and if she doesn't raise her game up, she'll be exceeded by the competition and no one will pay any attention to her site ...
^ There's absolutely nothing you stated that I disagree with. My point... give her some time. While she has had content on the site for slightly less than a week, the site launched today. Today, Lexi is in transit from Colorado to home. She just did Exxxotica promoting and spent a single day with friends boarding in Vail. I think Riley is awesome and kudos to the success of her site. In the end, Lexi will do it right and all of her fans will be ecstatic!!!

^ Well i guess the only thing we can do is wait and see ! Hope Lexi releases some great content in the future ... Edited by - AlexTheMachine on 4/5/2017 9:01:01 AM
Sorry but you have to be joking. Lexi had many years to plan what her new site should look like and what she would offer to existing fans and new fans but what she managed to do is basically come out with a site that is a mix between Twitter and Snapchat and is even worse than her previous one. Would the most rabid Lexi fan be remotely interested in a single thing currently available on her site? I'd say not. At this point I honestly have no idea what Lexi is trying to do other than make a couple of bucks from the foolish visitor who will fork over 10$ for what is a terrible site and then regret if for the next 30 days as he doesn't see any new content added and figures out that what he saw in the preview section is all that was available. You want to see how you do a great solo model site. Just take a look at Riley Reid site. Now that is how you do a solo model site. You offer something to your fans that they have never seen from you and when their heads are still spinning than you double down and offer something even more impressive.

That's exactly what i said. ReidMyLips is imo one of the best sites (if not the best site) that a pornstar created . I remember Riley was afraid to do anal and yet she released two amazing gangbangs on that site. That's a great value for your money ... I became a member of Riley's site and quite frankly, i don't regret it one bit. Updates happen weekly and Riley releases a ton of awesome scenes (lesbian, b/g, anal, solo ...) I think Lexi should take some lessons from Riley, otherwise she will unfortunately sink along with her terrible site ...
^ ^ Obviously, you didn't read my more recent entry. Not sure why you're so put off by her site with less than a week of existence. It's kind of offensive to deem it a fan ripoff at this juncture. At $10/month I guess I'll consider it a relatively cheap wager to bet on the success of what I BELIEVE is a winner. Once again, great for the success of Riley's site, MY focus is on Lexi Belle's site. After all, her site is for her fans.

^I'm thrilled that Lexi was able to get someone to fork over 10$ for that turd but if I were you I would probably avoid joining sites like hers because all it's going to do is sour you to all the really great sites on the net. Aren't you feeling a little bit of buyers remorse at this moment when the last update was 3 days ago. Did I miss something? Wasn't this suppose to be her flag ship re-entry into the porn industry? Do you realise that you could have joined Videobox for just 2$ more than what you paid for Lexi's new site and that would have given you access to 69 different Lexi videos?
Here you go. As to what you get well all I will say is that it won't take you more than 10 seconds to find out. http://lexibelleraw.com/

I really hope Lexi will make her site better, i like her, if she's really making a comeback she needs to shoot some awesome scenes !! Let's just give her some time and see what she has in store for us in the future ...
Yeah, think I will give it more than a few days to see how good it gets. More like several months. Give it time. The price reflects the content at the moment. I am glad she is back in some form and look forward to seeing what comes up.
Did anyone sign up for the OnlyFans thing she has going? From the description of some of her posts there is some BG Action going on. Wish someone would post pics of it.
