KATIE CUMMINGS

atfight fans look upon Katie Cummings as a true bombshell, and it is not just her physical appearance, but rather her performance, which has been a true bombshell in the sport.

The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters, is the simplicity in design.

No one would mistake Katie as the second coming of Diane Hunter or Alex Del Monacco. She lacked the technical skills and proficiency of these former champions. Nor did she have the size and strength to battle as bruisers like Taylor Wilson or Jezebel. Instead what she possessed was a simple determination to improve, to learn and to succeed.

USING SOMETIMES THE BEAUTY OF NATURAL PATTERNS ON STONE CLADDING AND REAL WOOD ENCAPSULATED WITHIN ORDERED SIMPLIFIED STRUCTURES, AND REAL METAL PRODUCING A SIMPLIFIED BUT PRESTIGIOUS ARCHITECTURE AND INTERIOR DESIGN.

Katie was born in Havana, Cuba but immigrated to the United States with her parents and her sister. They moved to the Miami area where her father managed a restaurant. She was raised in a strict, conservative household where she was chided to do well in school and to help with chores. She bristled at these restrictions but remained compliant until she turned eighteen. When she graduated from high school, she told her parents that she wanted to attend college at the University of Tampa. She surprised them with the news that she had received a full scholarship and housing and they bade her goodbye the next August. Little did they know but she never left Miami. Instead, she began her career as an adult film star.

Katie started her new career in earnest, traveling part of the time to California where she shot with most of the major porn studios but also worked in Miami with a number of the web based porn companies that film in town. She gained a huge fan following and industry accolades soon followed as she was nominated as the best new starlet. At this stage, everything seemed to be going her way, but then everything changed.

Katie’s new boyfriend demanded that she stop making adult movies so she stayed in Miami trying to figure out her next career move. Behind his back, however, she sought work in the underground “fetish”modeling industry. One of the first gigs she was offered was a private catfighting session. She enjoyed the work and enjoyed the new outlet of her energies. Through one of her modeling friends she heard that ACW was holding auditions and she was first in line. She was concerned that her porn past might hinder her chances because of the sex scandals the promotion had endured. Her personality won over the judges and she was invited to join the class of 2010.
