Here at Euroeros, we can remember seeing pictures of Crissy Moran back around 2001 - possibly posing on a rooftop in the sunshine. It was immediately obvious that here was a very beautiful new model on the scene. It struck us that she was a glamour version of Brooke Burke - she really does bear a striking resembelance to the TV presenter. Soon after we saw those initial pictures, a hardcore series appeared on the web. We were a little surprised - Crissy is a beautiful woman who could easily make a living in the modelling world, and it seemed odd that she would move into hardcore at all... especially so quickly. Well, it's just emerged (in October 2006) that Crissy has retired a scant five years after her debut due to a) a return to God, and b) a resurgence of self-esteem that has freed her from some destructive personal and professional relationships. We congratulate her, and hope she finds happiness.

Crissy was born Christina in San Diego, but grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. A heart-felt essay on Crissy's MySpace page lays out the details of her childhood, and move into modelling and then porn. Essentially, it's a familiar story of low-self esteem and bad childhood family experiences followed by forming destructive adult relationships in an attempt to win validation that was previously denied. It's a sad and all-too familiar pattern in the adult entertainment business. It seems that Christina was lucky enough to find a sympathetic ear in the adult entertainment circles, and found the strength to break out of this cycle, and follow her own path. We say well done, and wish her the best for the future.
