“She’s such a sweetheart and such
a badass as well.”
— Skin Diamond
Kira Noir reveals the fi rst adult movie she ever bought featured Skin Diamond in every
scene.
Released in November 2012, the Elegant Angel production titled Skin showcased the
former Spiegler Girl in fi ve hardcore throw-downs that saw her doing a gangbang, blow-
bang and double penetration with the kind of fearlessness that made her a major star.
“I wanted to be like her so badly,” Noir says with a laugh. “Whenever I found out that
she pretty much got her start doing GodsGirls photo sets I went ahead and submitted
my own work.
“It was really, really bad at fi rst. I was using a really bad camera. I didn’t know anything
about lighting or makeup or anything like that, but they’re really sweet and they still let
me be a part of the site. So that was when I fi rst started getting paid to be naked was
about 2013.”
Now Noir is the Spiegler Girl landing the box covers, doing delightfully dirty things on
camera and entertaining an international fanbase as one of adult entertainment’s most
versatile performers.
Diamond since has gone on to pursue a career in music—she also is a pro domme
known as Madame Skin—and Noir remains one of her biggest supporters.
“My brain won’t let me have a full conversation with her,” Noir jokes. “I was such a
huge fan of hers before I ever even thought about getting into porn.”
Diamond, who debuted in 2009 and won two AVN Awards for Skin, tells AVN she is
proud of how Noir has climbed up the ranks, achieving her own bona fi de stardom.
“I remember when she fi rst came on the scene and obviously she’s like really, really
cute,” says Diamond, who cast Noir in her music video for “Karma” along with Vicki
Chase in 2016.
“By the time she was already performing I was on my way to focusing on other things
so I was like, ‘Well we can’t shoot a scene together right now, but I defi nitely want to work
together.’ She’s such a sweetheart and such a badass as well. … If anybody deserves
it, it’s her.”
Noir, who started posting her nudes on Tumblr in 2012 when she turned 18, worked
as a stripper at Larry Flynt’s Hustler Club in East St. Louis from late 2012 to 2014.
She looks back at her time as a dancer with the fondest of memories.
“I loved it,” Noir says. “I still miss a lot of those girls. …We’ve all gone our separate
ways, but it was a really great club.”
It was while Noir stripped at Hustler Club that she met her fi rst agent, Jack Spade,
who had come to the club in late 2014 with the then-reigning AVN Female Performer
of the Year Bonnie Rotten, who was the headliner.
Noir remembers how nice Bonnie was to her and her fellow house dancers that
weekend.
