Porn Valley- The very hot-looking Kelly Erickson [pictured left] was telling me about growing up as a wrestling fan in Minnesota and the fact that her brother would throw her in various holds. Rowdy Roddy Piper was her favorite, Erickson was saying, and I give her my Roddy Piper story such as it is- the time I met Roddy who was with this lady of size. Turns out to be his agent. I knew the agent. I just didn’t know she repped Roddy Piper. Erickson was telling me she was something of a lady of size herself growing up but thanks to a plastic surgeon and a few other adjustments she is what she is today. Today Erickson is in arbitration with Metro.

I’m telling Erickson, congratulations that this website www.mypornoreview.com put her in the Top ten of the hottest looking American babes. This is based on what you look like in person. “I must have kissed somebody’s ass well,” Erickson laughs.

“I told you myself that you’re one of the hottest looking women in the business,” sez I to Erickson.

“I must have kissed your ass well, too,” she replies. Erickson says these are very nice compliments. Asked what she was up to these days, Erickson mentions that she just got back from one dancing gig in Raleigh, North Carolina.

“And I’m going through a lot of trouble,” she adds, alluding to the arbitration.

Erickson was at The Dollhouse along with Shy Love. “That was an amazing club,” she states. “If I were to ever quit porn and dance all the time I think I’d have to move to North Carolina. It was amazing. The place was the biggest strip club I’ve ever been to. The girls are taken care of well. It was clean. It was just amazing. Two floors of club and the dressing room was as big as the club. They had makeup artists- it was just amazing. They picked us up every day, brought us lunch’ brought us dinner, made sure we had everything we needed. It was so different…from The Spearmint Rhino in L.A.”

Erickson was there for five days. Normally she books herself three to five day gigs, noting that she just got back from New York last week. “It was three days in New York then I flew home for a day then flew to North Carolina for five days.”

Erickson says she’s still sore. “I’m just now healing.” For now, Erickson is just trying to get some sleep time in when she’s not working out.

Erickson started as a house dancer about six years ago in Minnesota where she’s from originally. I imagine that Erickson is your typical Nordic Swede and she says something in the ya-ya language. Asked if she voted for Jesse Ventura, Erickson said she met him on many occasions as a kid at city events when Ventura was a small town mayor. “Car washes, this and that- it makes you wonder why they would ever have a wrestler in charge,” she laughs.

Erickson was a wrestling fan from the time she was a kid but never went to live matches. “I used to order the pay-per-view like the Royal Rumble and my brother, who’s seven years older, would practice on me. I would go through hell every time this was on. He’d throw me across the room and he’d do these slams. I was just a beat up child.”

So I ask Erickson how she made the transition to a beat up house dancer. Erickson was a manager at a Wal-Mart and had friends who danced. “Here I’m making my $12 an hour and I can’t do it any more. I went in for an amateur night at a strip club. I almost fucking died because I had never taken my clothes off in front of anybody. Then I pursued on from there. I won that and ended up house dancing four days a week.” In her pre Wal-Mart days, Erickson would never describe herself as the hot high school chick.

“I always wish I had been that person,” she says. “Before I discovered hair dye, I had dark hair. I had glasses. I was fat. I was horrible. But as soon as I discovered hair dye and plastic surgery…” Erickson laughs about the implications. She discovered a plastic surgeon about a year after she started dancing.

“I had seen people with boobs and I had none,” she says. “So I had to go buy some. I was a 34 A and I went in and said give me the biggest thing you can shove in there.” I”m about to tell Erickson that’s usually a line of dialogue found in an anal movie. About three surgeries later, Erickson says she’s finally happy with her tits. And I’m picturing a character out of Fargo working on her chest.

“You just don’t get a boob job done in Minnesota,” she counsels. “It’s not a wise move. They were not pretty.” Erickson describes her tits as looking like an orange in a sock. “It was uncomfortable- it was horrible. I moved to Arizona and had them fixed.” Erickson subsequently met someone involved in Internet porn. “I sold minutes at 8 bucks a minute and masturbated for people,” is the way Erickson describes that occupation. “It was fun and I did that for about a year.” Erickson later met Brittany O’Connell who introduced her to World Modeling about three years ago.

Erickson’s first scene was with Mark Davis. “And I was so nervous,” she says. “I had never, ever seen an uncircumcised penis. He took his pants off and I remember looking at the director and was just dumbfounded. I didn’t know what to do with it. I was just petrified.” Erickson was sure there was something wrong with Davis until tipped off otherwise.

Erickson describes growing up in Minnesota as both boring and cold. “In the winter time you don’t leave the house because it’s so fuckin’ cold,” she says. “And in the summertime it’s so humid you don’t leave the house. There’s really not a happy medium there.” Erickson was into studying her first two years in high school. “Then the last couple of years I discovered partying and drinking.” This, of course, was the dark haired Erickson. Asked if there were any wild parties of note, Erickson said none she would ever speak of.

My vision of partying in Minnesota is going out on a frozen lake and sawing a hole in the ice to fish. Erickson’s laughter indicates that this isn’t too far off.

“All people did in Minnesota was fuck,” she says. “You had to keep warm. That was about it.” Erickson’s first time was when she was 16.

“The little boy next door, or the big boy next door I should say,” laughs Erickson. “He just happened to be close and convenient. I went over his house to watch a movie. For some reason, I can’t even remember how it happened, we ended up fucking and it was horrible. We were both really inexperienced. It lasted thirty seconds. And I’m saying to myself is this fucking it? We were in the living room. He makes the move. It just went from clothed to unclothed- like that.”

When she got into the porn business, Erickson says, yeah, she was asked- first thing- did she do anal. “I held out not doing it for two and half years,” she says. Erickson is asked if she had any regrets about not scoring more money off her ass sooner.

“It was something I did- I can’t say that I liked it or disliked it,” she states. “I was lucky that Steven St. Croix was the first person I did it with. I had worked with him before and felt comfortable. But it’s not something I could ever do on a daily basis. I couldn’t imagine girls doing it for most of their scenes.” In her private life Erickson will do anal here and there.

“For special occasions,” she roars. “That or you’re really drunk, can’t feel it and can deny it in the morning!” Erickson says she can’t honestly remember the first time she ever tried anal, that she must have been drunk.

Asked about her Metro situation, Erickson says there are obviously some people who are not too pleased with her. “It basically comes down to I quit being paid so I quit working,” she says. “Which seems fair to me.” Erickson explains a scenario that involves overlapping tests and timelines.

“I worked on April 18th- I did a scene with three people that day,” she explains. “I was scheduled to work a week later. I got my test back- because I went and had it done two days before I was supposed to work. I got my test back and it was inconclusive for Gonorrhea. I’m freaking out because I never had anything. This is fucking great. I was on set and we had this test faxed in. The director comes up and says it’s inconclusive, you can’t work. I’m like, fine. I leave and go to pick up my paycheck a couple of days later, and they refused to pay me because they said I refused to work. They expected me to still work on the set because I still had a test that was good from a couple days earlier that was good until the end of that month.

“So even though I got an inconclusive test back, they expected me to go ahead and work with the test that still said I was okay,” Erickson continues. “They said because you still had an STD test that said you were clean, go ahead and use that and we’ll pretend like we never saw this other one. There was no way. So I went to get my pay check and they won’t pay me- they said you refused to do this scene. That’s fine. I got hold of a lawyer. She said to make demands for payment. I made demands for payment. They said they would pay me if I signed papers promising I’ll work whenever they want me to work. Whatever, whatever. It just turned into a bunch of bullshit, Finally I said I’m not going to come in and beg for a paycheck. I had been with them for three years and every paycheck I ever got I’ve had to beg for.”

It was noted that Gauge walked out of Metro with over 90 grand to the good, having only done three scenes, and that Ann Marie just walked.

“But here I am going through actual legal issues with them,” says Erickson who’s contract with Metro expires the end of this month. But there’s even a bone of contention involving that.

“I’m going through arbitration now,” says Erickson. “I’ve got all my witnesses. I’ve got all my paperwork. I’ve got all my pay stubs. I’ve got paperwork.”

Erickson explained that her original contract was for a certain amount of money, with raises upon renewal. She claims she never got the raises. “I would bitch and argue with them, and they’d say it’ll be taken care of.” Asked why she continued under those conditions, Erickson said, well, she still needed her paycheck.

Erickson’s also received a default letter stating that she can’t direct, perform or have anything to do with any other company that could be in direct competition.

“This is bullshit that you can’t work,” says Erickson. “You’re sitting around waiting.”

In the meantime, Erickson is waiting by the pool with her Pina Coladas and she’s just seen the updated Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and loves it.

“I was a fat kid- of course of love it,” she laughs. Erickson used to be an avid movie goer, but not lately.

“I’d rather sit around in my pajamas and watch a movie than go to a theater,” she says.

Dinner and wine are nice as well, says Erickson who’s discovered fishing for past time. “I went fishing in Oxnard on a charter boat,” she says. “We were catching these rock fish- they’re so far under that when you reel them up, their tongues and eyeballs pop out of their heads. It’s so funny. I went for the first time last month and I loved it.”

I would have figured Erickson to have developed a passion for fishing in her home state. She says she did when she was younger.

Erickson’s family also knows she’s in the business. “Mom turns her head the other way,” she states. “My brother loves it. He’s have you met this person, have you met that person? Can I go there with you? He wants to come out here and meet people.” Bearing in mind, this is the same brother who put her in wrestling holds.

I ask Erickson who in the family does she get her looks from. “Nobody,” she laughs. “We figured out that it was the plastic surgeon.”
