“I feel like it’s a cool way to
express myself.”
Alyx Star came into adult with a professional edge.
The enterprising native of San Jose—who turned 23 in September—
owned and operated her own skin care spa in Portland, Oregon, prior to
making her porn debut in 2019.
A licensed esthetician, Star says the experience of being her own boss
at such a young age has given her confidence as she navigates the
adult industry, where she is well on her way to becoming a force.
“Honestly, I think it helped so much because our name is such a
brand and a business on its own, too,” Star says. “It’s tough running
a business. You’re the front-desk person, the accountant. You’re the
person giving the service. There’s a lot to it.”
But Star so far has proven to be mature beyond her years, impressing
producers and directors alike across the industry en route to 60-plus
scenes and counting.
Girlfriends Films, in particular, recognized Star’s talents, signing her
to a six-month contract to do all her girl/girl scenes exclusively for their
powerhouse studio, while she continues building her profile with boy/
girl work for other top production companies such as Brazzers, Reality
Kings, New Sensations, Naughty America and more.
Star, who books through Motley Models, says her adult industry
journey has been everything she could’ve imagined.
“I really love it,” Alyx tells AVN. “I’ve met some of the most open-minded
and accepting people. I feel like it’s a cool way to express myself. It’s
weird because it’s on camera for the world to see but it feels like it’s
in a judgment-free zone—which is not what I expected getting into it. I
thought there would be a lot more negativity but it’s been really positive
so far.”
Star made her first appearance with Girlfriends Films in Bad Lesbian
13—leaving enough of an impression that she has now been called
upon for some of GFF‘s most popular series including Lesbian Triangles,
Lesbian House Hunters, and the most awarded lesbian series of all time,
Women Seeking Women.
“I’ve shot with Girlfriends Films quite a few times and we like each
other and work well together,” Alyx says. “I think it also helps that I really
like girls. ... I think that shows on camera that I’m into it.”
