Third Gay Porn Industry Loss in 24 Hours
They say deaths come in threes. In the last 24 hours, the gay porn industry has been hit with three losses. First it was legendary director Matt Sterling, then my friend, neighbor and business associate Andy Dill, now we get the announcement that former COLT model Kirby Scott (real name Josesh Myska) died November 2 at age 44.
Saint Mark's United Methodist Church in Atlanta made this announcement in their church bulletin: "Saint Mark expresses Christian sympathy to ... to Tommy Varnadore on the death of his partner Joseph Myska on November 2." See, some churches acknowledge same-sex partners.
Kirby Scott appeared in Playgirl April 1998 and movies for Can-AM and Sharpshooter, but he will be primarily remembered as a COLT model. A search of the COLT Store shows Kirby Scott listed in 27 different items including videos, calendars and magazines. Some of the archived books are selling for as much as $100!
He continued to model up until recently, and posed for some well-respected San Francisco art photographers such as Louis LaSalle (below left) and Kevin Caudill (below right).
PLEASE! No more deaths! I am sick of writing obituaries, and can't wait to get back to writing about big dicks. My nerves are already frayed, and I've been getting comments that my reporting has been less than tactful. I apologize for not choosing my words more carefully, and I want to express my sincere condolences to everyone close to the collegues we've recently lost.
