WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.—There was a time when Micky Lynn was a household name among porn fans. At 5-foot-4 with big blonde hair and natural tits, she was what we'd nowadays call a "spinner"—full of energy and up for nearly anything. Hell, in one of her very first features, Private Affairs 7, ’80s director Sascha Alexander had her in a threeway with another couple of household names, TT Boy and Peter North.
But nowadays, Micky wears a lot of hats. For one thing, she's a mom who until recently owned an adult boutique in West Palm Beach; a dancer at several clubs in the Palm Beach area; and a web entrepreneur who bought her own booth at the recent Exxxotica Miami promoting her website, where she signed autographs for fans and sold her merchandise: website memberships, T-shirts, DVDs, 8x10s "and all that other good stuff."
"1999 was the last time I made a movie," she told AVN. "Since then, I've kept up my website, my Facebook, my Instagram and my Twitter and all those things, and I still have plenty of fans who go there."
Of course, one of her problems is that she made the vast majority of her movies before adult DVDs were even invented, so she's had a bit of trouble finding some of them, especially since some of the companies that released them are no longer in business. So while Debbie Does Dallas '99 is probably still available from Vivid, some of her personal favorites are nowhere to be found, like Malcolm XXX from Bedtime Theatre (who?); Stand Up for VCA (acquired some years ago by LFP); Up and Coming Executive from Total Video (who?); Gift from Femme Productions (whose owner/founder, director Candida Royalle, died in 2015); Always from Xcitement Video (long gone); Pussyman 9 from Snatch Productions (ditto); No Fly Zone from Legend Video (also gone); and Cheeks 7 from Coast to Coast Video (ditto). And dubbing the lost and forgotten features onto DVD from old VHS tapes isn't going to cut it for long—and her fans keep clamoring for more! That'd be one reason for getting back into XXX—but according to Micky, it's not her primary one.
"Well, I missed it!" she exclaimed when asked "Why now?" "I got tired of being at home, so I figured, well, I'll make a comeback—plus I plan on doing my own hiring of models and putting them on my website, so what I'm doing is, I'm trying to come out and label myself, so that way, I could get, like everybody else is doing—I don't know if you notice, like All Over 30, what they're doing is hiring models to come onto their website. So basically, what I want to do is, I want to get my name back out there and then hire the girls and do scenes with them and have them do scenes and put them on my website and market them, and that way, I can go and have them sign for me and all that other stuff. Direct, produce—that's what I'm looking to do."
But Micky, porn viewers want to know what you were been doing for the 18 years they were without you!
"When I left porn, I was living in Jersey," she said, adding, "I was born and raised in Englewood, right outside New York City, and before I started making movies, I used to work on 42nd Street at Show World, as a 'booth baby,' in a booth where the glass would go up and people could watch me do solo shows, and I danced there as well. From there, I met Heather Lee, Laurel Canyon, Alicia Rio, all those ladies, and that's what made me want to get into the business in the first place.
"Anyway, in '99, I decided I'd done enough for a while, and I decided to start a family, so I took some time off," she continued. "Then what I did was, I did some website appearances, I danced and stuff like that, and then I decided to move to Florida, to West Palm Beach in 2004. I danced in a few of the clubs, did webcam, was shooting custom clips, all that good stuff. I have a clip store on my website, and I'm arranging now for a Clips4Sale store, but I have them now on MickyLynn.net."
But that's not all.
"A few years ago, I decided to open up a lingerie store in West Palm, which had novelties and toys and stuff like that," she explained. "I tried to do the regular thing, like be the good chick, kind of, but that didn't work. It was open two or three years; called A Touch of Elegance Lingerie. Business was pretty good, because I got to meet people and help them with their issues and stuff like that. I liked it because I gave help to women who couldn't have orgasms, so that was pretty interesting. You've got to help your fellow ladies, your fellow females!"
But owning the store helped her in another way: It made it easier for her to tell her son that she worked in the adult industry—though she hasn't revealed the full extent of her adult work to him yet.
"Actually, that's kind of a funny story," she said. "I haven't told him about the adult acting yet. I was talking to Luc Wylder about that, because Luc has kids too, and I wanted to find out how he handled it. My son knows that I sell movies because in the transition from when he was born till now, I did all the dancing and everything, and he knows about the lingerie store, which had novelties and toys and stuff like that, so he knows I'm in the adult business, that I sell toys and dance at clubs, and also, I did a passion party company for a while. So he knows I'm in the adult business, but he doesn't know that I've done the movies yet. I was talking to him when I was out on the West Coast a little while ago, because he's 16 now, so I want it to come from me, not from somebody else. He's in tenth grade now, and when I'm home, I spend a lot of time with him. Mostly, I like to just stay home, exercise, go to the beach, just spend time with family."
Talking about the "old days" sparked a fond memory in Micky.
"Back in 1995, I went on Howard Stern's show in New York to talk about Pussyman 9," she recalled. "I was working for Pussyman, did a couple of movies for him, and in Pussyman 9, I did a scene with [Stern 'Wack Pack' member/comedian] Kenneth Keith Kallenbach, and they wanted me on as a guest to talk about it. They just wanted to know how it was to work with him, what kind of guy he was, all that stuff."
Micky's return to XXX shooting coincided with the XRCO Awards, which took place on June 28, and over the course of about two weeks, she worked for Score Group, Kick Ass Pictures and All Over 30, and one other company she's not sure of, for whom she did a solo scene.
"For Score, I got to do two boy/girls, and for Kick Ass, I did a cuckold scene with Sean Michaels, and then I did another boy/girl for All Over 30," she recalled.
So ... what does the future hold for Micky Lynn?
"Well, as I said, I'd like to direct, but my immediate plans are to shoot more with Score. I'm planning to do a photo layout with Hustler for my 25th anniversary, and then I'm going to be doing more stuff on my website, doing more shows, and going out to Vegas in January for the AVN Show. I'm trying to do more public appearances to get myself out there again and to shoot whatever I can. What I'd really like to do at some point is produce and direct features. I'd like to make a couple and get them in the video stores—are there any of those left?" she chuckled. "I know the people over at East Coast News pretty well, and I'm pretty sure if I were to send them some stuff, they'd distribute it into their stores."
Bottom line? This buff 45-year-old MILF who hardly looks her age is planning to be pretty busy making her comeback, and if today's fans appreciate her work as much as did fans Back In The Day, recharging her XXX career should be a breeze. But please: don't ask her to pronounce "Risque Burlesque."
