LOS ANGELES—When Pixie Smalls posted a profile on SexyJobs.com, “I got in contact with a producer, and he helped me get connected with Exploited College Girls and Backroom Casting Couch. I did scenes for both of them and really enjoyed the experience, so I came to L.A. and I started working here full time.
“When I started working in the porn industry I wasn’t sure if I would like it, or would keep doing it, but a couple of things stood out to me: I enjoyed the freedom of time that it gave me, and I also enjoyed the feeling of empowerment that I get from it: being able to choose your own gigs, feeling beautiful and feeling valued. It’s very different from working at Taco Bell. It’s a bit more luxurious. There are hardships, of course, but even though it’s going against what societal expectations are, I like having that autonomy.”
The native of Orlando, Fla., went to her first AVN Adult Entertainment Expo in January 2025. “It was great. It was a lot [chuckle] but I enjoyed networking, meeting lots of new friends, making connections. I enjoyed the scenery: It was my first time staying in Vegas. I wasn’t signing, but I like supporting my friends so I was buying their merchandise, and meeting some of my favorite porn stars and getting their pictures and autographs.”
One of her favorite scenes of the 20 or so she’s done so far is from Team Skeet with Danny Mountain: “The premise was very outrageous and campy. There were a lot of bright colors and bright outfits. The setup was I was watching a puppet show with hand puppets, and one of them comes out — and it’s Danny’s cock with a little mustache on it. [Laughter] I think it was hilarious and probably one of the best I’ve done.”
Smalls lists reading as one of her hobbies: “I enjoy good fiction and self-help books. I’m really into psychology so I’m reading a book now about radical self-love, and my next one is about a creative way of living.”
Her words to live by are “Be the change you want to see in the world”: “The world could do a lot of good with more kindness, more community, and just caring about each other. I try to embody that the best I can. Every Sunday I work at a food pantry on Skid Row. We make big batches of food—rice, beans, stews—and package it up and set up a big table on the street and people come. We hand out water, food, medical supplies.”
For the future, she is looking forward to shooting her own content: “I’d like to incorporate more storylines and costumes. I’m really into makeup and outfits. Silly stuff, Halloween stuff, Fourth of July themed shoots. Porn plots, loosely put together. It may not have a shelf life, but I think that as long as I enjoy making it there will always be an audience for it if you put passion into it. Also, niche content. I like anime, cosplay, gaming, clown stuff, fairy outfits. Fantastical sexy things. I would love to get costumes and prosthetics and make elf porn, I think that would be really fun.”
