Career
[edit]Adult entertainment

Her first scene was in Bomb Ass Pussy.[2] She initially used the stage name Honey Love.[1] In 2001, she signed an exclusive deal with DBM, a studio for which she did about 19 films.[1] She began using the stage name CoCo Brown in her second film for the studio.[2] She stopped performing in adult films in 2003.[6] She once worked briefly as a dominatrix as well.[5]

Suborbital flight
