Biography
Early life
Johnson was born March 27, 1977 in Aberdeen, Washington, raised in Pacific Beach, Washington. She claims that she began having sexual experiences at around age 7,[3] and that she had sexual intercourse for the first time at age 13, while her parents were out playing bingo.[4] She stated that she was "one of the latest ones" in her school to do so.[5] Johnson was a cheerleader during her four years of high school. She began studying magick and witchcraft at the age of 16,[6] and was first initiated into a coven at the age of 19.[5]
Johnson attended Grays Harbor College in Aberdeen, WA, where she began modeling nude for an evening life drawing class. She then enrolled at The Evergreen State College, focusing on environmental science. She subsequently dropped out and moved to Las Vegas, Nevada, where she began working as a stripper.
Career as stripper and porn star
For six months, Johnson worked at a strip club called Tally Ho. Johnson then moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, where she continued working as a stripper, and she enrolled in beauty school. She was working at a club called the The Million Dollar Saloon, when she was noticed by a pornography talent agent named Roy Garcia. In 2000, Garcia convinced Johnson to move to Southern California to pursue nude modeling. Johnson eventually began appearing in pornographic films as "Violet Blue". She stated that the reason for the transition to pornography was that her agent couldn't find enough work for her as a model, due to her "look".
She appeared in over 300 pornographic films under the name "Violet Blue", several of which were produced by Wicked Pictures and Vivid Entertainment. The films became popular in Japan, and she performed in several pornographic films with Japanese men. She was represented by the Gold Star Modeling talent agency. During her adult erotica career, Johnson got married and gave birth to a son.[7] Also, she was initiated into the Ordo Templi Orientis, a Thelemic religious organization, at age 21.[6]
Return to Washington state
In April of 2005, Johnson announced that in May, she would return to her home state of Washington, and that her husband would stay in Los Angeles to continue working for pornographer Stoney Curtis.[7] Her mother had bought a house for Johnson to live in.[4] Johnson expressed that she wanted to help care for her sick father and to give her son a healthier environment. Johnson announced that she would continue to be represented by Bad Ass Models, and said, "I'll be anxious to come back and visit my porn valley friends so let me know when you have me in mind for a project."
In August 2006, Johnson announced by email that she would no longer perform in pornographic scenes with men, stating her reasons as a desire to be monogamous with her boyfriend, Jace Micheau, and concerns about HPV and cervical health.[citation needed] Johnson gave birth to her second child, a girl, in May 2007, whom she named Clover, and announced plans to have a third child within two years. Johnson hosts an Internet radio show called Recipes For Sex on KSEX. In July 2007, she announced a "memorabilia sale", offering the clothing she had worn and sex toys that she had used in photo shoots and films.[8]
Alleged trademark infringement
In October 2007, author Violet Blue filed a lawsuit against Johnson,[1] accusing her of trademark violation and dilution, as well as unfair business practices. The lawsuit alleges that Johnson adopted author Blue's persona and trademarked name.[9] Following this, Johnson announced that she had changed her stage name to Violet Blue,[2] although the name Violet Blue remains on her web page and MySpace.[10][11]
Recently, she resumed the use of her stage name, Violet Blue that she used for many years concurrently with author Violet Blue with no confusion. Johnson is an actor and author Violet Blue isn't.
