  1. Number 1 is Kelsi Monroe, not Alexis Texas. Where is Anal-Superstar Bobbi Starr? So sad, she retired. The older she got, the hotter she was.

  2. Lela Starr has an insane ass. She looks like Kim Kardashian now. It’s totally an implant but damn! She had a banging body before all the surgery though I don’t get it

She doesn’t belong on the same list as Alexis, etc
