Tawnee Stone
Born in 1982, Tawnee Stone is the stage name for an American Internet pornography model. Her website has claimed her for years to be the 19 year old sensation from Texas despite her actual age, while her supposed sister Tori Stone is the 18 year old sensation. Her site also states that she is from "the Midwest.".

Stone's official websites are part of Lightspeed Media Corporation's website network called Lightspeed Cash. Lightspeed Media was founded in 1999 by Steve Jones and expanded in the times of the dot-com crash. Lightspeed Media Corporation registered the trademark Tawnee Stone at the United States Patents and Trademarks Office on June 24, 2002.

Stone is part of a group of models that Lightspeed Media calls The Lightspeed Girls, and who are supposed to be cheerleaders. Catering to a softcore taste, Stone is marketed for her youthful looks — often in seemingly candid galleries, though she has also done a few hardcore shoots; both with women and men. The website also relates "stories" of Stone engaging in group sex with "cowboys" while in her mid-teens and hints at incestuous relations with "sister" Tori.

In the early incarnation of her website, Tawnee kept a diary which discussed everyday activities, some mundane, others erotic. Included were discussions of such topics as her parents separating, and its traumatic effect, especially on her sister, Tori.




Stone is also a very successful pioneer of the single-model per website style of internet promotion. From 2001-2005, her site has produced the top earnings of all Lightspeed Media websites. "While Stone’s innocent look is probably most responsible for the site’s success, the fact is that everyone who releases a single-girl site is aiming to be the next Stone." [1] Considered by many to be an internet superstar (with more than 2.5 million google hits as of 2006), she has contributed to a resurgence in teen-oriented pornography [2].
