Lora Craft - Game Woman

One of my favourite pictures of the year, as it turns out.

Whilst the name Lora Craft may initially look like a pretty shameless cash-in on the video game character of almost the same name, the girl behind the name has carved a career out for herself behind it to be enjoyed by all.

There are two routes that you can take in terms of having a name that is a bit like an actress or a character - you can take one on because you resemble said actress or character, or just because you want to do it as a simple play on the initial name.

In the case of Lora Craft, I think it's more because she believed she looked like the Tomb Raider character but I don't personally see the resemblance. And as I mentioned, how many times has that name been misspelled in her movies?

But some of the performers out there do have more success looking like their almost namesakes. Dru Berrymore is such an example, looking quite a lot like Drew Barrymore but such examples are few and far between as Lora Craft proves.

Although I don't think she looks like her name source, I'm sure plenty do and I think if you are going to take on such a name that you should really look a bit like the influence - or you risk disappointing fans, in my opinion.

Going back to Lora Craft though, as disappointing as it may be that she now only performs for her official site, I actually think it's a good move for a performer who wants to find more freedom in their career and in the content they shoot.

And whilst you might miss the extremely hardcore content that she often appeared in, I do think that she has the stunning looks and figure to forge a very, very successful modelling career for herself - either through her official site or otherwise.
