Adult entertainment career
Phoenix was a stripper in San Francisco before entering the adult film industry in 2006.[19] Phoenix was also very open about her interest in S&M and bondage,[19] and she came in fourth place for Best Comic Artist at the Bondage Awards in 2010.[20]
In a 2006 report for the news website AlterNet the journalist Annalee Newitz referred to her as "the sort of person who has the education and resources to choose from many careers and has chosen this one because she likes it".[21]
