Kayley Gunner: From Combat Boots to Bombshell Heels

Kayley Gunner: From Combat Boots to Bombshell Heels

This feature article appears in the October 2024 issue of X3 magazine, dedicated to capturing the genuine personalities, passions, and stories of emerging and established stars. X3 is published by XBIZ Media.

When Kayley Gunner started shooting porn in 2020, it wasn’t just her military background that made her stand out. There was also the “bombshell factor.” In this OnlyFans and Instagram “girl next door” era, Kayley was glamming it up and bringing old-school sexy back.

“I admire the classic porn stars,” she shares. “Or even people who weren’t porn stars but had a certain look, like Pamela Anderson, Marilyn Monroe, Kate Upton — those are people I’ve looked up to my whole life.

“There’s a lot of work that goes into looking like that!” she emphasizes. “But I was always amazed and impressed at how effortless they made it seem when you watched their interviews. Even the little things, the way they smile or laugh and talk, it’s just like everything they do is so beautiful and attractive.”

Even while serving in the military, Kayley never stopped thinking about those icons of blonde ambition and quietly nurturing her own dreams of stardom.

“I always wanted that life,” she reveals. “Especially coming from the army, where I was covered up in a uniform. And unless it’s camo, we really don’t learn how to do our makeup in the army! But it was still a dream, a fantasy of mine, to be that kind of girl, the girl that you would hang up in your garage on a calendar — and now I do have my own calendar. Fans send me pictures of it hanging. So we made it!”

Kayley credits the loyal camming fans she acquired early on for helping her transition to full-on, professional, weapons-grade porn-star bombshelldom.

“My cam fans are the reason I’m here,” she affirms. “They were the ones who said I was really great at performing, and they liked my personality — not just how I was on camera, but also how I was able to talk to them and how we cared about each other and made friendship bonds, like pen pals.

“Obviously, with porn, everything is very physical and external,” she continues. “Not a lot of people know the inside of me, my heart and my personality. That’s why I like interviews like this, because I don’t get to show that side of me a lot unless I’m doing, like, a livestream or a meet-and-greet, where fans can talk to me.”

Even though she could not see her cam fans and many were very far away, she adds wistfully, they cared about her.

“Just as much as I cared about them,” she says.
