Once upon a time, there was a naturally brunette, naturally breasted, and naturally stunning adult model named Tera Patrick, whose exotic beauty catapulted her into the limelight as a contract star with Digital Playground and before the lens of famous fashion photographers like Mario Sorrenti.

Far from being your stereotypical blonde-haired, blue-eyed, bobble-chested porn star, Tera Patrick quickly rose through the porn ranks thanks to her exotic Eurasian beauty and untouched physical canvas:

tattoo on her ankle in homage to her husband, Biohazard frontman Evan Seinfeld (aka sometime scene partner Spyder Jones). Then she shocked fans around the world when she did the unthinkable:

Not yet satisfied with her transformation, Tera took it a few steps further by losing a lot of weight and dying her hair blonde:
Very, very blonde (although to be fair, we're pretty sure the new pubic coif she's sporting here is merely the work of an overenthusiastic prop stylist):
Which pretty much brings us to the semi-streamlined Tera of today. We still think she's one of the most gorgeous women in porn, though we know not everyone's crazy about her Vivid girl "tits on a stick" look:
These days, Tera is back to being a brunette, though it looks like the new boobs are here to stay. That's progress in pornland for you.
