Leah Lust: From Teacher to Porn Star
at work as a bikini mate were plastered all over the Net), has become a porn star. She goes by the Leah Lust and is usually cast as a teacher type (naturally) or, as Page 2 Live puts it, a "wife-next-door."

"I'm not particularly proud of it. To be honest, I hate it," said Shepherd (aka Leah Lust) to Page 2 Live. "I'm an educated woman, but I never though it would come to this. No one gets brought up thinking they'll be a floozy."

Tiffany Shepherd (aka Leah Lust) claims that since she was fired last year from her job as a biology teacher at Port St. Lucie High, she has been unable to find work - even a job that pays minimum wage. She says that she had sent out 2,500 resumes to no avail. In a desperate attempt to earn a decent living, Tiffany Shepherd/Leah Lust, who is divorced and lost custody of two of her three children, has turned to porn.

"I need money for the appellate court and raise my three kids," says Tiffany Shepherd/Leah Lust. "I've tried everything, every avenue. Last year, I refused $10,000 to strip, then I had to pick between paying rent and buying Christmas presents."

Interestingly, it is Gil Coombes, the owner of the the Fort Pierce fishing charter where Tiffany Shepherd/Leah Lust used to work as a bikini mate, who got her into the porn industry. He and his wife own a porn webcam studio called KLC productions and Tiffany Shepherd/Leah Lust has reportedly appeared in some porn clips produced by KLC.

Tiffany Shepherd/Leah Lust will not confirm how much she is making as a porn star, but she did tell Page 2 Live that some porn actresses make up to $5,000 a scene.

But that figure may be inflated. According to the Los Angeles Times, the porn industry is not doing so well. Simply put, there is too much competition from all the free X-rated content available on the Internet.
