Lexi Lowe has been shooting scenes in Europe for the last six years. “I started doing girl/girl; I was a contract girl for Viv Thomas for two or three years before he folded to MetArt and he was still around. That brought me to America, because Girlfriends Films distributes Viv Thomas, so they flew me out to sign at [the AVN Adult Entertainment Expo]. That’s what opened my eyes: It’s so much cooler and so much bigger and better out here. I started doing boy/girl about two years ago. [The industry is] okay back home, but there’s only so far you can go. There’s so much more I want to do.”
When she was signing at AEE, Lowe says, “It was crazy. I didn’t think anybody here was going to know who I was. That kind of opened my eyes: Porn is actually a really big thing here. We have awards shows and expos back home, but they’re nothing like the scale of AEE. Obviously I’d watched porn, I’d seen all these girls, and then I go there and they’re there. I was a little bit of the fangirl on them. I felt like a fan the first time I was there.”
In Europe, Lowe explains, “We don’t have a huge industry, and there’s a lot of traveling. One day I could be shooting in London and the next day have a scene in Budapest. I still live in Wales, so everything is hours away, London is three hours on the train. Here, everything is right there. All your work is in the Valley and I can be at a job in 15 minutes. It’s amazing.”
Lowe started stripping in London after getting laid off (“made redundant”) from a civilian police job in Wales and was scouted by a photographer: “You should shoot with your boobs out.” She says her favorite scenes are a recent d.p. with Steve Holmes and Manuel Ferrara for Manuel DP’s Them All 4 and the AVN Award-nominated Down On Abby.
Her words to live by? “I would rather beg forgiveness than ask permission. I pretty much live by that.”
