Larry emails:
Do you remember Lori Michaels? If so, you might have heard that this past week a mystery message went out to some of her old site members, including me (I used to help mod her chat site using the nick Green). In that message it said basically that Lori had shared her account password with this mystery person so they could let everyone know that she passed away May 7. Cause of death being a heart condition she supposedly kept secret from her fans. Someone else told me that very same message was posted on a Yahoo Group site she was said to have put online. That site has been taken down. Well, since I had helped mod for her way back when, some have contacted me to see if I can find out anything to confirm her death and none of us have located any obit under what was at least a Vivid screen name of Lori Michaels. All in all it’s really pretty strange and since most of us have really long since departed from her site and lost contact with one another after this long. We’ve each been wracking our brains to figure out where to even begin trying to confirm Lori’s death. Because I’m certain that a number of members would like to pay respects to her or family members but she kept so insulated that nobody knows where or how to look.
Well, I checked Amarillo, Las Vegas, and Tulsa Obituaries and there are no deaths reported for a woman in her late 30’s in any of them. So I guess this may be a hoax. For what Purpose? Maybe she just wants to Vanish.
I actually got an e-mail from her a few months back. I got the vibe she didn’t want to be “Lori Michaels” anymore, so this could likely just be a way for her to never hear that name again.
Lori is alive and well. When she quit the adult industry she quit. She is still a beautiful lady and single. She lives in the Florida Keys. She would laugh about the old posts saying that she had passed. Lori made enough from her website to retire comfortable. I’ll always remember her laughing about the Vivid website. She would say ” don’t they realize that most of the people in the US are on dial up internet” She couldn’t understand why they would put content on their site that the normal man can’t download. I think that is why her site was so successful. She always wanted to tell Steve and Marci how retarded Vivid University was. I could write a book on the things she told me.
