Chanel Teal

This week it is both a pleasure and honor to present Chanel Preston as our “Girl of the Week”. In the five years she has been in the business, this Fairbanks, Alaska born (Dec. 1, 1985) beauty has become a good friend to the NightMoves family. Aside from her natural good looks and figure, this 5’ 8” bundle of energy is also a very talented, smart, intelligent, outgoing, friendly young lady who genuinely cares about her fans.

Being raised in a family where gender equality was the accepted way had a lot to do with how Chanel’s life would go. Right from an early age Chanel had a “try anything once” attitude and loved playing off a crowd and their reactions. She took part in Shakespearean community plays, did piano recitals, painted, danced, even played trumpet and fed off the reactions of an audience. She even went so far as  making the boys wrestling team in school, something that didn’t sit too well with the coach and others, but it was just another way of proving that Chanel could and would, do whatever it took to stand out.

She left Alaska and moved to Hawaii and talk about a culture and climate change, wow! It was in Hawaii the self-proclaimed exhibitionist’s decision to enter the adult entertainment world when she began working as a stripper. Within seconds of performing her first striptease on stage, Chanel knew she made the right decision. With her intelligence and background Chanel is capable of doing anything, but she chose adult entertainment and we are the ones who have been blessed by this decision and what she has brought to the industry.

Chanel did her very first movies in 2010, working for such top production studios, Hustler Video, Vivid Video, Elegant Angel, Reality Junkies, Wicked Pictures and others. Critics were immediately impressed with her. I remember, after seeing her in the parodies of Avatar and M*A*S*H for Axel Braun and Will Ryder that porn had themselves a bona fide new star who would quickly become a fan favorite. It turned out to be true because that first year Chanel became a very visible new star on the horizon and that she was not one of the “here today, gone tomorrow” types. Chanel Preston was her to stay and she was determined to become a big voice in the industry.

Proof of that was that Chanel  took home Best New Starlet awards from NightMoves, her very first in the industry,  plus from XBIZ, XRCO, XCritic.com, The Galaxy Awards and CAVR.com. She also would appear on the covers of such magazines as Cheri, High Society, Fox and Hot Video. Attributing to her rising success Chanel was picked for the prestigious position of Trophy Girl for the 2010 XRCO and F.A.M.E. award shows and then the 2011 AVN Awards. I will also toot our own horn here at NightMoves and mention that she also won the Best Female Performer of the Year, in 2011 from us. In all Chanel has deservedly won over 15 various awards and been nominated for several dozen along the way.

But it doesn’t stop  there , she was also named by CNBC as part of the “Dirty Dozen” in 2012 and then in 2013 was listed as #1 on CNBC’s “Dirty Dozen. Also0 in 2012 Chanel Preston was named Penthouse Pet of the Month in the March issue. She has also been a writer, blogger, and recently turned her talents behind the camera as a director for her first two films for James Deen Productions, “Chanel Movie One”  and “Smoke”.  In addition you can catch her other current releases, “Down The Throat 3”, “Sexually Explicit 4”, “Pretty Dangerous”, “This Ain’t The Interview XXX” and “Boss Lady”.
