Ua hoʻomau ʻia ʻo Herrin i nā wikiō mele i nā makahiki 80, me ka mana o David Lee Roth no "Kamāhine Kaleponi" a me ka 1987 Kiss feature video Exposed.
Ma waho aʻe o ka hana hoʻohālike, ua komo ʻo Herrin i nā hana ʻē aʻe. Ua loaʻa iā ia kahi hui lole wahine a ma hope ua kākau ʻo ia i ka The Book of Sex. Ua hana ʻo ia i kāna mau mea nani a hoʻomau i kona noho ʻana ma Santa Barbara a hiki i kona make ʻana.
