Bobbi Brixton, who brings a London-by-way-of-Suva-Fiji accent to Brooklyn’s Jo in my porn version of “The Facts of Life” (we made it work), is the only pornstress I know who took her name from a Clash song, other than London “Calling” Keyes and Sandy Neesta.
“‘The Guns of Brixton’ is the best song in the fucking world,” said Brixton.
One of the recurring jokes in the movie is the horrors perpetrated on Natalie’s stuffed animals. For example, Brixton was supposed to wipe jizz off her with this penguin. That didn’t happen, alas, so the penguin went back in the storage bin, and Brixton didn’t get to keep the penguin, which she liked.
“I name it ‘Pebbles,'” she said.
There were a number of fascinating things that happened on this set, which I’m counting as my first as a director and, as Clash predecessor Led Zeppelin says, all will be revealed.
But I count it as a good sign when porn talent thinks outside the box when naming itself, and I can’t wait for the new crop of Graham Parker-inspired porn girls, because that means Warren Zevon won’t be far behind. Imagine an entire disc of “Barely Legal” devoted to pornstresses who took their name from tracks on “Excitable Boy”? Fuck!
Brixton was just two weeks back in the porn business (after a four-year hiatus) when she walked through the door as Jo. She has performed with Kink.com in San Francisco in their terrifying “Public Disgrace” series and has the most intriguing tattoo.

I think Mr. Zevon (gods rest his soul) would be highly amused at a crop of porn starlets named after his songs. Slightly perplexed, perhaps, but amused.
Janie Jones? And what about one Mr. Tommy Gunn? (I’m just going to pretend he was referencing the song and not the weapon)
Jada “Midnight to” Stevens?!?!? This is harder than I’d thought…
