Anybody got any pics or videos from the old heidis-page.com ? Here's a sample from dormfun.com, as her site seems to just redirect there now. The only other stuff I could find is on carolcox but it's pretty bad quality and only 5 pics...
Heidi was from the same mob that did lesalove.com and the georgiagirls.com girls.

I just found this online news story profiling Heidi from Oct 2001 that ran in some Atlanta newsmagazine. I cutout parts of the article about 2 other web models and an indictment on the entire 'amateur' porn industry and just posted everything relevant to Heidi. The entire article is at the link below.

The girl next door
Homebody exhibitionists bare it all for titillation and cash

Talk about your Lana Turner fantasies. New to Atlanta, Heidi was waiting tables one day about four years ago -- a second job that helped the pretty, 25-year-old, sometimes-blonde divorcee make ends meet -- when she was discovered, in the classic sense, by a man who asked if she'd like to be in pictures. She had a certain look, that indefinable something the public is clamoring for, he explained, and would she please consider coming in for an audition?
Flattered, intrigued and gut-wrenchingly nervous, she showed up at the audition, knocked their socks off, signed a contract, shot a string of pictures, learned the ropes, paid her dues, made public appearances, answered fan mail and, a year later, stepped onstage to collect her first people's choice award.
Ah, a quintessentially American success story, our Heidi.
Mind you, the description of this heart-warming tale has skimped on some details that would disqualify Heidi from ever selling the movie rights to the Lifetime channel. For starters, Heidi didn't go to Hollywood; she went on the Web. Her adoring fans consisted entirely of guys surfing for smut. And, although she turned in some fine performances, the hundreds of pictures she shot aren't ones she's likely to show her mother.
Heidi was -- is, actually, for as long as someone cares to keep her image on a server -- a webgirl. Specifically, she's the subject of an "amateur" site, in online porn parlance.
She wasn't a struggling actress or a professional dancer. She hadn't appeared in stag films. She was neither rail-thin nor surgically enhanced. And while she wasn't a babe in the woods, she certainly wasn't the bisexual libertine that she found herself portraying on her website. But in her, the talent scout saw the essential quality for a successful career as an online amateur: Heidi was the girl next door.
"We don't want fake boobs or tattoos," Heidi recalls being told at her audition, moments before she was asked to strip down and provide visual evidence that she had neither. The audition took place in the living room of an otherwise average-seeming, middle-aged Stockbridge couple who own a local Web design firm. We'll call them Mr. and Mrs. Smith, largely because representatives from their company refused to take our calls.
The couple photographed Heidi's inaugural striptease and liked what they saw, the unvarnished naturalness and uncertainty that would have been absent in a porn actress or a veteran of burlesque. They signed her up and began work on her website. They chose "Heidi" as her nom de Web; she didn't -- and doesn't -- want her real name used.
"When we started, we agreed that it was only going to be Playboy-style soft-core," Heidi says. "I shot enough pictures in three weeks to last a year."
For Heidi, it was a year in which she would earn $30,000 for lending her birthday-suited image to the Internet and learning which end of a sex toy is up. In that same year, she would lose her fiance and her self-esteem while watching her life unravel.
"I'm not here to paint a rosy picture of this business," she says. "I want out of it."
Across America, there are thousands of Heidis -- teenage girls, thirtysomething women, even grandmothers and, of course, a few men -- who are letting it all hang out for all the World Wide Web to see.
In the beginning, Heidi was all about the money.
"I told them I don't care what they named me or wrote on the site," as long as she got her 30-percent cut of the membership revenue, she says. From the photo captions to the bio excerpt exclaiming that her fantasy is "to make love in the grass with the wind blowing & the rain pouring down," every line was bogus, dreamed up by some guy sitting at a keyboard in an office across town.
Even her stated age had two years shaved off to make her seem more appealing.
Her apartment was rigged up with webcams in every room so members could watch her brush her teeth and eat breakfast. She was obligated to answer e-mails, host online chat sessions and perform live webcam shows.
Soon, the Smiths were pushing Heidi to venture beyond cheesecake poses and coy stripteases. "One day, they pulled out all these sex toys and I was like, 'What are those?' I had never in my life even held one."
And she began to be paired -- and sometimes tripled -- up with fellow webgirls for mock-lesbian canoodling.
"I'm not bisexual by any means and I know it's all fake," she says, half-laughing. "But they would say, 'Put your hand on her there,' and when the picture was taken, we'd yank our hands away because we were really grossed out."
After a while, the captions alleging her turn-ons and fantasies got so cheesy ("I am a hair band junkie!") that she began writing them herself. She must have been doing something right; in 1999, her site was named Best Amateur Webcam by one of the Internet's porn clearinghouses.
As she got more involved in her site, Heidi's fiance, fed up with the webcam, the increasingly tawdry photo shoots and the reality that hundreds of anonymous men could describe her identifying marks in detail, moved out for good.
To earn extra money, she took over the job of staff photographer, even though she barely knew her way around a camera, and would scout out strip clubs for new online talent. "I wanted to find the girl who didn't look like she belonged there," she explains.
Unlike Heidi, the company's other webgirls didn't share in site revenues, instead earning a flat $100 an hour to pose or to be photo-graphed getting busy with their boyfriends -- or each other.
"I felt like a voyeur, but you get so involved in setting up shots and camera angles that you forget you're watching people having sex," Heidi says, almost convincingly.
But hanging around strippers proved to be a downer. "They were earning all this money and they'd be drinking and snorting coke, but half the time I'd hear them say they didn't have the rent and couldn't pay their bills," she recalls.
Alone and depressed, she turned to her website members for virtual companionship, spending hours in chat sessions and finding a few kindred spirits. "I had so many guys who were so lonely, they'd say, 'Don't do the striptease tonight; just sit there and talk to me.'"
However, as time went on, Heidi's newer customers got increasingly pushy, demanding ever-raunchier poses, complaining that they got more for their money on hard-core sex sites, even doling out insults.
"I'd get e-mails from people who would say, 'How did you get your own site? You're overweight.' Your self-esteem really suffers when you hear that," she says.
Now, three-and-a-half years after her site's debut, Heidi has moved back to her small Midwestern hometown, where she's told no one of her online alter ego, to focus on a career as a travel agent. Although she still collects about $180 in monthly site royalties, she hasn't shot new photos in more than six months and is hoping to leave her webgirl past behind.
"When I think back on some of the things I've seen and the parties I've been to, it's nothing I'd ever imagined growing up in a town of 900 people," she says. "Once I got my life back together, it wasn't something I wanted to do anymore.
"I'm not totally ashamed of what I've done," she adds. "The biggest benefit has been that it's opened me up sexually, but the only way I'd get back into it is if I were down and out. I would love it if everybody who subscribes to my site would cancel."
Stay Thirsty My Friends.
