Nomi
Nude

She trained as a classical dancer when she was younger, so it’s only fitting that veteran French porn star Nomi, also known as Adalina Perron, is confident in her body and its ability to be bare and beautiful. Although she didn’t start doing adult movies until she was in her thirties, she still managed to become one the most requested actress in the early ‘00s, and finished 93 titles alone between 2000-2005. The blonde babe made her debut in World Sex Tour 21: France (1997), after working as a stripper at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival and meeting the movers and shakers in the pornographic film industry (proving the old adage, it’s who you know). Rumor has it Nomi had never even seen an X-rated flick before she made her first one! And now, fun fact, you can sort titles on IMDb based on keywords, and the one most often used to describe Nomi’s projects is “Hardcore,” with 108 references. Though a lot of her skinematic appearances have originated in her native France, she has done a number of projects in the United States, so beware a hot blonde with a hotter body doing hot things. Two of her more well-known titles (both featured here on Mr. Skin) are the “arthouse” adult films—where there’s a lot of dialogue and conversation between coitus—Sex Stories (2009) and its follow-up,Infidelity: Sex Stories 2 (2011). Even with the wordy scripts, there’s unbridled nudity to be had. Enjoy. In 2017, Nomi published a biography titled Totally Veiled, where she shares the story of how she was hired by a Saudi princess to give her dance lessons, then sequestered for a year without her passport and forced to wear a veil. She says this is where she got the “why not porn?” attitude.
