Preston is one of the industry's hottest up-and-comers — and vaulted onto our dirty dozen list this year. Before joining the industry, she was an adult dancer in Hawaii, but long before that, her first job was housekeeping.

"My dad got me a job with a friend to be a house cleaner, but it ended up that I just ironed all of his work shirts," she says. "To this day, I hate ironing."
