P.J. Sparxx (born Laura Brown on 11 February 1969 in Colorado) is an American porn star. She was also credited as K.C. Kerrington, P.J. Kerrington, and Porsche Red.

[edit] Adult Film Career

Sparxx appeared in over 200 adult films in a career that neatly spanned the 1990s, debuting in 1990 and quietly retiring in 1999. Although she performed in heterosexual scenes as well, her lesbian scenes attracted particular attention for their intensity; a scene from Cellar Dwellers 2 in which she appeared with Jeanna Fine and Tricia Devereaux won the 1998 AVN Award for Best All-Girl Sex Scene. She is also a member of the AVN Hall of Fame.

She supplemented her income as an adult film star by stripping. Sparxx was for a time the off-screen girlfriend of porn actress Jill Kelly, and the two danced together for a period in an act called Fire and Ice (and also filmed a movie for Vivid about their partnership).

Sparxx also dated Steve Orenstein briefly in 1990, then owner of the production company X-Citement Video. Orenstein would go on to form Wicked Pictures in 1993.^[1]

[edit] Retirement, STD Concerns

Reportedly, Sparxx became increasingly concerned about the risk of sexually transmitted diseases as her career progressed and the threat of AIDS loomed.

She began performing fewer heterosexual bareback scenes (insisting on condom usage) and engaging in more lesbian scenes. Although her concerns may have played a part in her exit from the industry, information on the actual reasons for her retirement is difficult to find. Sparxx is one of the few former porn stars who have managed to thoroughly disappear after retiring.

In the mid-1990s, she appeared in a "porn bloopers" video, co-hosting with fellow porn star Jonathan Morgan. The video was unusual in that the two seemed to have some history, and it showed. Morgan made little effort to hide his contempt for the apparent "air-headedness" of his co-host (who, for example, was unable to pronounce "segue" after many attempts), at one point mocking her with a reference to Forrest Gump: "Hi, my name is P.J. Sparxx, and I'm as dumb as a box of chocolates!"
