I always wondered how Christina got started modeling? Did she look around or get discovered?

OldChristinaFan thank you! for the added info. After reading this I definitely remember reading a longtime ago stuff just like what you mentioned. I have always had that thought about how it would be to have a classmate like Christina. Christina having her website on her car is great. Pretty crazy to think about seeing the hottest girl in your school online whenever you felt like it. What a great thing.
I was pretty sure her parents had something to do with starting her career. For sure when you look at her first 25-30 sets, you can tell they are pretty low budget. She looked great back then, her peak years!!

Very cute, yes, but not a perfect 10 with those teeth. Closer to a perfect 1o in set 332 when her braces were removed.Not quite see through especially at 17 but a perfect 10 in face and figure

Christina's body during that period was simply perfect. One thing about see thru stuff I noticed, this may sound weird. I'm not sure if it was because of how big they were or that Christina always had a pretty good tan. Through Christina's whole career she has never had great nipple/areola see through shots. You can notice even in wet tops Christina's nipples were never really that dark and distinct showing through her tops. Of course once Christina started removing her top then you can see how perfect she actually was.

Well, It's time for me to put the fantasy of Christina Lucci Model to rest. We you discover her new married name and find her private social media profile life changes.
I now see she has two (2) lovely daughters and she is smiling with the look of love, happiness, and content. You come to the conclusion the Christina we watched has grown up. Time to let the memories of her go.
May she live a long and happy life.

We have a lot of new people jumping on the thread. That's cool. 
However, let's just remember, unless Christina herself starts posting here (and it would take some effort for them to prove they are Christina) then we are merely speculating here.
I know maybe 1 out of 100 truths about Christina. And maybe somebody else knows a few more. But nobody really knows anyone. We don't know what makes people do what they do or why they did what they did. And nobody really knows the future. As I just said, we are all speculating.
Even if Christina came on this thread and started telling us her "story", she could be lying about things or rationalizing previous behavior. How would you know the truth? For the record, I am not saying Christina would lie about things, I am just pointing out it will always be hard to know what is the "truth."
Feel free to keep talking and speculating on this thread but forgive me if I don't believe you when you say you know the "truth" about Christina...

I think one of the reasons why you can still find her content is that she might have been a bit naive when it came to the web. Possibly thinking that once the websites of her content were shut down, that was it, all the pictures and videos would be gone and her past was forgotten. Not realizing that virtually everything she did was copied and reposted on other sites and kept as "private" collections. Same with most of the others.

This is an interesting topic. I'm a bit in the old side of life. I would like to agree that this "Charles" guy duped her when it came to the revenue. So it breaks my heart that she is suffering financial hardship.
I be truthful to say that in 2014 when the site was being taken down, I would have like to restart it. Which means I would have fully funded it. I'n someone who could easily have done that, but in the back of my mine I kind of get the thought of the Idea of the movie "Indecent Proposal".
Seeing that she is married and now has children that has changed my mind. I hope that man she is married to is doing everything in his power to provide for her and the children.
On one had I will say. IF and Only IF he was failing to performing is husbandly duties I would then fully fund a new website and studio for her. Along with setting her up with a real financial planner like Ric Edelman.
At least then we would know she is financially secure.

At the end Charles told me she made more then a million with her site. For a personal website that is huge. He told me she spent it all. Somehow she did not invest in her future. Find me one camgirl making a million in her career i dont think there's even one. She could have easely sign contracts back then with Score group or playboy for exemple. Even today they would sign her in a minute i think.
On another topic.
Does anyone know anything here on upscaling videos to HD.
I would like to take some of her older videos (probably start with the 1/2 hour ones) and upscale to 720P to see if they can be improved.
Have read a ton of articles on this, but looking for somebody who has had some experience to point me in the right direction.

Topic one:
The closing of the site in August 2014. Anyone who was a member knows there were multiple problems going on with the site. It appeared (I am engaging in some speculation) that some of it was on the webmaster side and some of it was on Christina's side. When she became pregnant the webmaster clearly decided he was done. Christina clearly did not agree with shutting down the site. I don't have a copy of the posting when the webmaster put the dollar amount he had sent to Christina over the years. My recollection is that it was between 1 to 1.5 million dollars. Over 13 years I would guess that she probably saw most of it during the early to middle years.
I do have a later posting off the site:
This website is closing down around August 19, 2014
I have been doing the site for 13 years and I want to retire. Christina and I have been 50-50 partners and I have sent a truck load of money to Florida.
Christina intends to start another site. Please support her in any future projects. I am giving her about 60 unused sets.
At one point the "truck load" was a dollar amount. If you go back through an old Twitter account of Christina's you will see she was not happy he had posted that number and said it was nobody's business how she handled her money. She did not dispute the dollar amount.
The website did go down not long after August 19, 2014. Why the webmaster wasn't prepared to handover the site to Christina I cannot say. It does seem like they were no longer operating on the same page.
Christina continued to claim through October 2014 that a new site was coming and there would be a preview soon. It never materialized. Christina never officially announced she was done. Only the webmaster stated he was done and he took the website with him.
Topic two:
Upscaling video is pretty simple. What is not simple is turning mediocre low definition material into good hi definition material. I often upscale old video. I have done it to help with the creation of some of my GIF's. The problem with Christina's older videos are multitude. The resolution is low, the files on the internet have been resampled and lost data, the lighting is poor and the color balance is often bad. In other words, the source material for her older videos is just plain mediocre at best. It would be nice if we could get access to the original recordings to see if they are more salvageable then what is online. My experience upscaling her older videos is that the problems become more glaring. You want to sharpen them, they look more grainy. You want to correct the color balance they can look more distorted. You push on the lighting problems and something else looks worse. We had some ISO's of the original DVD's floating around and those were pretty good sources but some of the older videos are sourced from VHS tapes. All of the ripped video files have got various issues. They are however better than nothing.
Sorry, but I have complained about this situation before and we haven't been able to get better source material or to the original material. So, when it comes to trying to enhance the videos we have, this expression is most appropriate "crap in, crap out."

@Marco @OldChristinaFan @CMforever I'm older than many of our fellow fans. In a previous life I had a career were I did quite well, so I can give a boost to a person who has a business idea. The reason I do this is plan and simple which is cause I can. After I retired from that other life I decided to give back to others.
As to Christina, Looking at her current situation she looks happy in life with her husband and children. So I don't think she is interested in doing anything like her former life. Though I think we as fans wish she would make a come back.
Would I financially invest in a comeback? YES! But I doubt she would do it. With the proper resources we could set her up with trademarks, copyrights, anti-piracy, her own server, secured VPN, and the most important item a private financial planner like Ric Edelman. But I think it boils down to she grown up and moved on beyond the web-cam life. So that I would assume is out.
Working as a waitress is a waste of time. I wish I knew of any other career dreams she may have. She needs an education and a career. Maybe she would see this and think about it.

So, LTCMDRPitbrad1, is that username supposed to be a reference to the Lieutenant commander played by Brad Pitt? Which would be Aldo "The Apache" Raine from Inglourious Basterds? Why not just go with AldoRaine or something?
Anyway, there have been numerous discussions about how to preserve and continue the original content from Christina's website. Even though it has long been held that the webmaster split the site's proceeds 50/50 with Christina, we would need to see the accounting of the income, costs and profits to know what is the "truth" there.
Christina does not appear to have actually been a co-owner in the website or the content generated for the website. That is the only logical explanation for how the webmaster could just shutdown the site. Or, if Christina had some legal right to the website and the content, she did not exercise those rights.
As has been previously discussed, it is really an odd situation to have a website filled with content that has a slow trickle of money and just shut it down. Then you allow the Internet to completely and freely distribute all that content and there is zero money for the webmaster or the model. It is beyond comprehension..

We seem to keep having conversations about the quality of what is available.
Let's try to keep this simple. An original file from the website in 2006 had these characteristics:
Width: 640 pixels
Height : 480 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 4:3
Frame rate : 30.000 FPS
If I want to increase the FPS to 60, the video software is going to double the existing framerate. Where will the those 30 additional frames come from? From the existing 30 frames. It isn't magic. It might make some additional interpolation from frame to frame, but if you look at one of those frames they are not magically high quality frames.
So, if the software is creating an additional 30 FPS for a 5 minute clip, it is creating 30 frames for all 60 seconds for all 5 minutes. That is 9000 new frames. If a nice workstation with good video editing software takes a half hour to create this clip, that would mean 1/5 of second was spent to create each new frame and insert it between existing frames. I am tossing out these numbers just as an example but it is to point out that nothing super special or magical is going to happen in this process.
Commercial grade video editing software on a good workstation is not NSA photo enhancement software running on a computer cluster for an extended period of time.

After some quick searches through Christina photo sets I see that Christina offered her first full clear view of a nude boob approx. photo set 649. I don't know when the set was actually photographed but I do know it was released around the end of 2006 or beginning of 2007. The first cell phone with camera was launched in early 2003 in the US. That's a difference of around 3 years between the time camera phones launched and Christina went topless on her site. What's my point I'm sure your wondering? Well I will generalize and say Christina was like most teens to young adult girls of these days. And most or a lot of teens and young adult girls I'm sure have taken their share of nude selfies. Where do those selfies go? Just like where did all the slip footage of Christina's photo shoots go? Well not to be insensitive but I would think if Christina was to figure a way to auction early topless material selfies of herself if she has it, she could make a far amount of money from her longtime fans. You know we have talked of the material that hit the cutting room floor many times. So that's may be a moot point if it's not available. But personal selfies from that time period could be something she has on her own and could make her some money. maybe a stupid thought, but its a thought anyway. Thanks
