Biography
Upon turning 18, Thomas began working for Lightspeed Media Corporation doing internet photo shoots and softcore pornography (a total of about 20 appearances). In late 2004, Thomas traveled to Southern California with the intention of pursuing a career in hardcore pornography.[2] 12 on 1 #2 by Lethal Hardcore, was the first DVD that Thomas shot in California and featured her performing with Penny Flame, Sandra Romain and Melissa Lauren.
Thomas was nominated for the AVN Award for Best New Starlet in 2006, and won the Dirtiest Girl in Porn Award presented by the Fans of Adult Media and Entertainment (F.A.M.E.) in June 2006. She has also appeared on the Howard Stern Show and participated in the Pornstar Beauty Pageant, competing against Taylor Wane and Carmen Luvana.[3]
After suffering a major anal tear, Thomas gained weight and took her departure from the adult film industry to study cosmetology.[4] In addition to her cosmetology studies, Thomas has also attended real estate school and has a pharmacy technician's license. In this period Thomas kept a blog documenting her weight loss efforts.[2] Eventually, she met her weight loss goal [5] and in May 2007 Thomas announced her return to the adult film industry.[6] Since then she has starred in several different films[7] and has been documenting her career on her blog.
In October 2009, Thomas released Vogue Nasty, her first video under her production company, Taryn It Up Entertainment.[8] She played the parody role of Snooki in Jersey Shore XXX in 2010.[9]
