Porn Valley Observed: Home of Gram Ponante, America's Beloved Porn Journalist

The Tehran-born Norwegian model Aylar Lie shot a few videos for Red Light District and other companies in 2002, making her one of the only Persian porn stars in memory. Performing as Diana, Lie was described by the eminent reviewer Roger Pipe as "very pretty" but he also noted that she might have been too aware of it.

"Looking back at the camera is not always good when you do it constantly," he wrote of her appearance in Brand New! Lei herself describes her experience in porn as tragic. Having been taken away from her biological parents at an early age and placed in foster care, Lie was in the U.S. at age 20 to find her biological mother.

"Within a two month period, (I) was plunged into a world dominated by drugs, pornography and abuse," she stated on her website. She returned to her foster family in Norway.

Her porn past came to light when she competed, as Aylar, for the title of Miss Norway in 2004. She was disqualified because of her appearance in movies like Throat Gaggers 3. Within a year of her disqualification from the Miss Norway pageant, she got and then removed breast implants, vowing to relinquish her role as "national tease."

She has since appeared on the Scandinavian version of "Big Brother" as well as magazines like FHM.

Now she plays the reconciled love of Basshunter in the band's "Now You're Gone" video. I hope it works out.
