Briana:
Stunning blue-eyed model Briana Banks came to Vivid after walking out on a boring job as an insurance auditor to begin her exciting career in adult entertainment.
“I had never even thought about porn, but I loved it. I guess I was inexperienced, sexually. I received my sexual education on film, including my first orgasm. My fans have watched me grow from a girl to a woman and I feel that I have a very special relationship with them. Once into adult, I decided I might as well do it the best that I could. Finally I was signed by Vivid, the pinnacle for anyone interested in erotic acting.” Briana has been awarded such accolades as Penthouse Pet of the Month and has starred in one of Vivid’s most popular movies, “Briana loves Jenna”.
When her adult acting career is complete, Briana would like to go behind the scenes to start her own line of adult movies, work on her website and return to college. Meanwhile, she works out every day and pays special attention to a boxing and weight lifting routine that she has developed. Briana also indulges in her favorite sports – motocross racing and snowboarding. Sims Snowboards will introduce two Briana Banks boards with images of her…
