Dead Porn Star of the Day: Lorissa McComas
By DharmaBum
A former Penthouse pet, fans only recently learned that Ohioan gem
Lorissa McComas was dead, as she only recently died. On November 3,
2009, she went to meet her maker after quite an interesting, if all
too brief, life. There are no gory, juicy details about her death
to be found and reveled in, or a web of words to weave a poetically
justified fate for a life of sin and depravity. Instead, her life
is another tale of misery, where simple mistakes and conflicts of
morality lead to grave consequences for a poor soul's mind and
body.
If you've had HBO, Showtime or Cinemax over the past twenty years,
you have seen Ms. McComas naked. Primarily a softcore model famed
for her idyllic girl next door good looks and silicone 34 DD's
tacked on to a five foot five inch lithe frame, Lorissa featured in
Playboy, Hustler and Penthouse as a nude model. She made it known
that she was not ashamed of her body, and never called what she did
"porn," even though hardcore footage of her exists and is easily
accessible. She proudly saw herself as an object of sexual desire,
a statue of Venus come to life to seduce men and women with a wry
smile and a twinkle in her eye.
She began a strip-o-gram business when she was a teenager in
Cincinatti, and used the money she saved to move to Los Angeles and
pursue a film career. She did what pleased her to make money, be
that posing in the nude for photographers or for directors, and
formed several strong bonds with her fellow actresses, including
fellow Skinemax staple actress Nikki Fritz, whose tits played a
pivotal role in the movie "Go" back at the turn of the century.
Eventually, Lorissa married, and somewhere along the lines, her
psyche began to weaken with the birth of her child. Given McComas'
reputation, and the explicit acts featured on her private, members
only website, the United States government took it upon itself to
deem McComas an unfit mother. Spending years fighting to keep the
custody of the human being she gave birth to took its toll on her,
and eventually, she entered a deep depression. She stayed locked in
a room, and would not answer her phone, see another person or eat
for days at a time. During this time, her brother was diagnosed
with full blown AIDS, and her mother died a slow and painful death
caused by several types of cancer. Her father then took it upon
himself to end his own life.
Lorissa snapped. She refused to acknowledge the reality of the
situation, or believe that her parents were dead. She created a
fantasy where she believed she was being held against her will on a
reality television show, and that the producers were being
intentionally cruel to her to make her cry and increase their
ratings. This woman spent three days in a mental hospital before
being released to her husband, who helped her recover, even as
their child was taken away from them.
During this time, Lorissa took in a younger friend who was down on
her luck, but our tragic heroine was kind to a fault. While
appealing to the courts to get their child returned to them, this
young woman grew sour on her friendship with McComas, and tried to
extort her benefactors for a large sum of money. This woman was
threatening to testify that Lorissa was making pornographic movies
in her own home, and had even performed while her child was in the
same room. Lorissa refused to pay her blackmailer, after which, she
was ganged up on and physically beaten by this former friend and
several accomplices. After this, the trail goes cold. Lorissa shut
out the world again, gave up seeking custody of her child, stopped
working or updating her website, and disappeared beyond a veil into
mystery.
To the world, and to herself, Lorissa McComas was nothing but a
hundred and five pounds of flesh, at best a fragile thing of beauty
to admire from a safe distance. On her website, she wrote a brief
autobiography, detailing in pithy and light hearted script her
successes, and the story of a beautiful young woman whose God given
gifts earned her a path from Ohio to the hills of Los Angeles.
Below her tale of hope turned fame and fortune on Lorissa' website,
a different author's single, elegant line ended her story with
dignity:
"On November 3rd, 2009, Lorissa McComas passed away."
We should all be so lucky to be remembered so simply.
Dead Porn Star of the Day: Julie Robbins
By DharmaBum
Julie Robbins was a young, spunky southern belle from North
Carolina, popular for letting men put out cigarettes on her tongue
mid-coitus and obediently honoring sudden commands to immediately
defecate regardless of how appropriate it might have been as far as
time and place are concerned. Needless to say, she was into some
pretty gonzo sex, and the more men treated her like a punching bag
with a couple of penetrable cavities, the more she reluctantly
consented to getting paid massive sums of money for enduring
humiliating physical abuse. Many a time did this sweet angel
projectile vomit from her gag reflux desperately triggering to save
her life, and that money was appropriated to support herself and
her little girl.
As noble as lowering one's self to the bottom most depths of human
behavior to ensure a child's prosperity may be, becoming pregnant
was a strategic move from young Ms. Robbins. Porn stars who can
lactate are a sadly rare phenomenon, and so she filled a niche as
many men filled hers - not that her daughter could complain about
the invaders encroaching on her real estate at the time.
While visiting home in 2005, Julie fell asleep at the wheel for
some reason. Her car hit a telephone pole and burst into flames
with her trapped inside in front of many witnesses. Try as they
might to retrieve Julie from the car, the flames were just too hot
for anyone to approach the vehicle to render support, and the poor
woman received almost indescribable burns over 95% of her body. I
say almost indescribable because I can say her entire skull
resembled beef jerky sloppily glued to a dia de los muertos
celebratory treat with a proper amount of confidence in the
authority of that statement. She received first aid at the scene
once fire fighters arrived, and was alive for over an hour after
she arrived at the local hospital's burn ward. Her final moments
were extremely peaceful, as the morphine administered to kill her
pain slowly stopped her heart.
Dead Porn Star of the Day: Anna Malle
By DharmaBum
Today's dead porn star is Anna Malle, a Cherokee vixen originally
from the midwest who established what all biker queens are going
for in looks, behavior and attitude. Passionate about promoting the
married swinger lifestyle on HBO specials as well as from the
grassroots, Anna was an established character in the industry for
years in her own right, but also through her contacts with people
like Ron Jeremy and bosom buddy and world renowned sexpert Nina
Hartley.
Anna was fiercely bisexual, and received her alias from her
aggressive and savage enthusiasm towards sex with large numbers of
partners. She also had a knack for bedroom banter, and her playful
nature sometimes got her in trouble. In one scene wherein she and
fellow actress Jill Kelly were enjoying a strap-on anally, Anna
remarked, "You can fuck it, but you can't eat it." Immediately
realizing that she meant to taunt Ms. Kelly for her lack of gusto
with the device, she quickly corrected herself, complimenting
Jill's skillful analingus, and criticizing her awkward thrusts,
thus inspiring Jill to go much faster and harder, which obviously
caused Anna physical pain. It was really funny, but it might be one
of those things where you had to be there.
She was nearly decapitated and died from massive internal bleeding
in a ditch after a car accident due to a dangerous strip of road
outside Las Vegas. Rumors have been spread that Anna was driving
buzzed and that may have contributed to the accident, but nothing
unbecoming of a lady has ultimately been confirmed, and nothing
should be suspected - many other people have had fatal car
accidents in the same area that she met her slow, painful, horrible
end. She is survived by her husband, who has carried on her spirit
of polyamory and still contributes to the porn industry. May she
rest in peace.
Dead Porn Star of the Day: Eva Lux
By DharmaBum
Eva Lux was a beautiful Los Angeles fetish model with a quirky
sense of humor and a penchant for shibuya kei culture. This buxom
brunette often sported a big beehive and Lisa Loeb glasses, looking
like she had just jumped out of the fighting forties to jump a
jolly sailor's soiree. Never having made it big, she only had a
handful of hardcore pornographic titles under her belt, with fans
digging up the occasional art show she was connected to. Eva had a
good sense of humor, was energetic in the sack, and like all good
porn stars, she was bisexual. She got her first big break in the
blatantly titled Blowjob Fantasies, wherein her scene was a
mid-movie break from the straight sex to indulge a brief lesbian
scene which, naturally, led to a threesome.
She posed for fetish and bondage photographers on many occasions,
and was a distinct and immediately recognizable model due to her
Basque features and distinctive tattoos and piercings. As difficult
as it is to dig for personal information on this woman, one of her
tattoos might explain why. A tattoo on the back of her left leg
matches an illumanitus seal. She did run a blog before her
unfortunate demise, titled "Diary of a Pleasure Activist," wherein
she wrote about philosophy, religion and the quirks of her day, but
seemingly never about her direct interaction with the pornography
industry. Regardless, there could be few people more deserving of
the title of "pleasure activist" than her, as she had been a
featured performer in the very weird film, "Lesbian Bukkake."
For those unfamiliar with the term, "bukkake" is a Japanese male
bonding exercise. Soldiers, and now business men, gather together
in a group to masturbate on a hapless female, and they believed the
mixture of the fluids would somehow bond them together and make
them more loyal to each other. Obviously, lesbians do not have any
semen to shoot, and so Eva was one of many women in the film to
fake an explosive orgasm. Essentially, she and many others
masturbated over a young woman until they could lay a piss bomb on
their poor victim's face, who would be obliged to coo thankfully as
she awaited the next torment.
After shooting a brief scene with legendary porn star and former
girlfriend of Kelsey Grammar, Angelica Sin, Eva went to her
downtown loft in Los Angeles to relax with some friends. Unknown to
her family members or fans, Eva's method of relaxation involved a
spoon, a lighter and a syringe. Having overdosed on heroin, an
anonymous friend drove her to a local ER and kicked her body out
onto the curb. Doctors at the hospital saved her life, but sadly,
Eva was left comatose. Whether she would have woken up on her own
if left to professional medical care is a subject of some curiosity
and debate, but regardless of what ifs and who thens, her family
decided to immediately remove her from life support.
Today's dead porn star 11/22/08: Nozomi Momoi
By DharmaBum
It is hard for outsiders to accept other cultures, for many
reasons. One hundred years ago, what American would think eating
raw fish would be a fun thing to do? Or that watching cartoons with
very mature themes would be as entertaining as anything showing
right now at the local cinema? Japan's very foreign culture is
different from ours in many ways, and often these differences that
define our distinct civilizations are something to be celebrated,
shared and respected.
For example, the national age of sexual consent is thirteen years
old in Japan. The younger a lady looks and acts, the more it is
generally agreed that she is attractive. Large, curious eyes, a shy
smile and a high pitched voice are all seductive traits in Japan.
So if you're a young lady in glorious Nippon and you're about done
with Pokemon, but you haven't had your first period yet, jackpot,
you will make a young California roll salesman into the luckiest
man in the world.
At the wizened, decrepit old age of 24, Nozomi Momoi was having
trouble keeping her girlish good looks, which are very necessary
for finding work in Japan's youth fetish industry. She would put
her hair in pig tails, wear school girl uniforms, squeak out
girlish giggles and act like every penis she ever saw was as scary
as the very first one. Growing too old to continue in pornography,
she decided she would like to become a stage actress and settle
down with someone. Sometimes porn stars make the transition to
public life with dignity, grace and success, and sometimes their
former occupation drives their new lover insane.
Unfortunately for Momoi-chan, her fate lied with the latter. Unable
to calm his grief that the woman he loved was on film performing
shameful, unspeakable acts, Nozomi's boyfriend drove the two of
them into the woods where he convinced her that they should kill
themselves. He decided that she should go first, and stabbed Nozomi
in the arm pit. The sudden pain jarred her, and she tried to flee
the car. She only got a few feet before her lover caught up with
her, and stabbed her five more times in the back, between her
pelvis and stomach. While she lay there, bleeding and crying, the
man covered her with gasoline and set her on fire. Overcome with
sorrow, he sat in his car for a while, pondering whether or not to
return to his life as normal. His decision: use the remaining
gasoline to join his lover.
The warped, charred bundle of remains left behind was
unidentifiable for some time.
Dead Porn Star of the Day 11/12/2008: Holly Landers
By DharmaBum
Born Veronica Browning, Holly Landers was made of exactly what has
kept Portugal in existence for centuries: peaceful interbreeding
with the Spanish. As a result, this lovely lady had a distinct
accent and distinguished western European features, including a
classic va-va-va-voom Marilyn Monroe-like figure.
More of a straight up prostitute than a porn star, Holly was one of
Howard Stern's favorite girls. She could often be found cavorting
naked through his studio during air time, testing out experimental
sex toys or slathering Hank the Drunken Midget, God rest his soul,
with butter cream frosting before licking it off for money between
80s sitcom trivia questions. She performed in only twenty hardcore
pornographic films before retiring from the private screen to work
at the world famous Moonlight Bunny Ranch. It was there that she
learned her true passion: "playing the violin to terminally ill
orphans." And by that I mean, "having sex with many strangers every
night for thousands of dollars per ten to fifteen minute
session."
It is often found that many porn starlets who died young were
victims of their chosen profession, and indeed, no matter how
regulated, prostitution isn't exactly the safest profession. Both
life courses seem to attract naive young women who trust the wrong
people, or hate themselves for whatever reason, or are prone to
developing a harsh addiction. Drug overdoses are the norm, as well
as getting beaten to death by a psychotic boyfriend, or just not
having anyone there to help after a freak accident. But despite
whatever her vices may have been, Holly's death was absolutely not
her fault.
On New Year's Day, 2003, Holly was struck by a drunk driver in
Costa Rica. She died immediately, was cremated in a private
ceremony, and her remains were scattered at sea. Much like Chris
Farley, after her death, films featuring her continued to be
released, most famously Monsterfacials.com: The Movie, wherein she
received a Cincinnati bowtie and ended the scene with an
unintentional strawberry shortcake, as she was bleeding from when
she accidentally smacked her nose on the camera as she was standing
up earlier in the scene. Was it a proper final testament to Holly's
short life? Regardless of the answer, it was no doubt how many will
remember her.
11/11/2008: Kim Kitaine
By DharmaBum
It is good to have a reminder of typical mistakes average people
make, that otherwise we should think ourselves above common folly.
A kid moves to California because weed is essentially legalized -
and then their seller gets them addicted to cocaine or heroin. A
young woman wants to be a big time actress because she was the
prettiest thing her village had ever seen in High School, and then
she gets knocked up and abandoned to a shady telemarketing gig her
first year in Chicago. A bored house wife meets a new lover on an
online social networking site, grabs the kids and abandons her
husband to start a new life - only to find that she has no skills
and not enough wealth to retire properly once the child support
checks stops coming in.
These stories are told all the time, but perhaps they have more
impact when they happen to people we know and love. It's amazing
what having a face to go along with a sad tale can teach that an
anonymous parable can't. What about the story of a small town girl
who wants to make it rich any way she can, no matter what she has
to sacrifice as far as human dignity along the way? So it goes for
a gorgeous woman whose name was Kim Kitaine.
Kim Kitaine was, by all accounts, an all American porn star. Blond,
blue eyes, fake breasts, vapid personality, a pain killer
addiction, and a death before reaching the age of thirty. She is
perhaps most notable, with all due respect, for how typical her
story is. She grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania, and was
raised in a strict, religious household by both of her parents. Her
father is a state trooper who has served with dignity for
thirty-five years. Kim did not take after him, and wanted to sew
her wild oats. She became a stripper right after her eighteenth
birthday, and having moved to New York, was quickly noticed by
industry talent.
Like many now well known starlets whose innards one can readily
view through a hole in their underwear within five seconds of a
google image search, Kim's first hardcore scene was with the
Highlander of the adult film industry, Ron Jeremy. After a few
steady gigs, she took a break and spent her hard earned cash for a
few years, and then returned to turn out hit after pornographic
hit. Most notably, she was famed for dressing as nurses in films
like Trailer Trash Nurses and Nightshift Nurses, and for headlining
as the lesbian grand daughter of Kay Parker's character in Taboo
16.
Taboo is a series that began in the 1970s, that featured a lot of
high drama and an almost horror movie like atmosphere. The
storyline of the original film had to do with Kay Parker's
character's husband leaving his wife due to some vague
disappointment, and in the woman's loneliness, she chooses to
seduce her son while he's asleep. This causes copious amounts of
stress in the lives of everyone involved, and a deep sense of
betrayal brews between the mother and son when they each find out
that they've been with other lovers. Subsequent films in the series
continued the story and dramatic tone of the incestuous families,
introducing curious cousins and creepy uncles. Kim Kitaine's
character seduced her younger sister and aunt in a sizzling
threeway for which she gained much critical acclaim. Despite incest
films often being panned for the performers not actually being
related, Taboo 16 landed her future roles in popular series titles
like Cum Bath Bitches, Anal Bad Girls and Almost Virgins, which
ironically enough, was her 200th film.
It was long rumored the Kim suffered from multiple sclerosis, an
affliction that can cause horrible pain, and can freeze and cripple
muscles for long periods of time. Several well known and respected
television personalities suffer from this terrible disorder,
including Fox News' own Janice Dean, the weather machine, and Neil
Cavuto, the giant headed oil baron apologisto. Some are able to
deal with this terrible diagnosis with more dignity than others,
and indeed, Kim fought her MS as best she could.
One quiet April Fool's Day morning at a Holiday Inn in Tulsa,
tragedy struck. Unable to help herself as a muscle in her leg
spasmed and gave out due to her condition, Kim fell backwards while
standing in the shower. The wash rag she was using clogged the
drain of the tub she was standing in, and unable to lift herself up
while seizing, Kim drowned as the water from the shower slowly
filled the tub. Her body was found by the hotel management two days
later.
It is inconceivable how uncomfortable her death must have been. The
MS setting her body on fire, and the long struggle with the
inability to breathe as the water crept higher and higher, all
while she was very much conscious. And then the indignity of being
found days later as a bloated, waterlogged corpse by total
strangers who were only checking on her out of professional
courtesy. Truly, a tragedy.
She was on no pain killers or drugs. She was not an alcoholic. Kim
Katraine was just a beautiful, physically sick woman who died
because she was alone.
