EDITOR’S
NOTE
Kira Noir makes glam look easy, but she’s a goth girl at heart.
A self-described “emo kid” as a teen who likes industrial and techno goth music,
Noir says goth fashion statements can be serious work.
“The costumes and the outfits are expensive and the makeup is really elaborate,”
Noir says. “So I have to be like really casual goth and just wear all black most of the
time, but I do consider myself that.
“If I could just wear mostly black and sometimes white for the rest of my life and
never have to wear color again, I would be totally fine with that.”
This month’s cover star, who has been getting naked on the internet since 2012 and
started her professional porn career five years ago, also has taxidermy on the walls at
her home in Los Angeles.
“I really like dead stuff,” Noir explains. “I really like the beauty of death and how
people across the world deal with that if that makes any sense. It’s something that
we’re all going to experience one day and we have absolutely no idea what’s going to
happen, which I think is really cool in a weird way.
“And I mostly just like the style and the people. Like all of my favorite people throughout
the years that I’ve met—like just at shows or at bars—are usually alternative with a
bunch of tattoos and piercings and crazy outfits.”
There is nothing crazy about Noir’s steady rise in adult—not with her ability to deliver
hardcore anal scenes with the same passion as her nuanced acting performances.
We’ll go deeper into her industry journey in this month’s cover story.
Meanwhile, another fan favorite, Leah Gotti, has announced her official return after a
four-year hiatus. This Texan wants to show the world her own vision for erotica as she
transitions into performing and producing for her own company.
We hope you enjoy the issue.
