How does a big-name-ish pornstar come across HN?

Impressive makeup work

and a ton of photoshop...

Care to tell us of your journey from porn to tech?

has your background influenced you to pursue any tech niches related to the porn industry?

that's a very misleading link. I prefered all of the before photos, the after shots have been through a competent mua for sure, but it's mainly horrible and gaudy photoshop that you're seeing. (despite their claim of no photoshop)

It's not Photoshop. It's simply a lot of makeup and the use of out-of-view lighting/diffusers.
