Scorpio Rising

Europeans were more acutely attuned to the emotional nuances that separated love and sex, I’d always thought, since they lacked the ridiculous cultural baggage of most Americans. Erotica had been an integral part of their cultural DNA for so long. Catherine Deneuve could play a whore in Belle du Jour and remain a mainstream movie icon. Sharon Stone only became one with the help of a Dutch director named Paul Verhoeven, who convinced her to famously ditch her panties and wield an icepick in Basic Instinct, the film that made her a star overnight.

Kyla Cole, the Penthouse Pet for March 2000, didn’t need any such persuading. Nor did she seek Hollywood stardom. She was happy enough, as a glamour model with a niche all her own.

The director Andrew Blake first urged me to look her up. We were shooting the breeze over the phone one afternoon in early 2001 when Andrew told me he had just shot “this beautiful girl from Slovakia named Martina, who calls herself Kyla Cole.” She would go on to star in three of his films, most notably The Villa, for which she appeared totally nude on the DVD box cover, both front and back, and also performed in it one of my all-time favorite solo-girl masturbation scenes as well as some scorching girl-girl trysts with a Czech nymph named Nika Mamic. “When shooting, we didn’t have to pose, we did everything so naturally,” Kyla wrote on her website. “Believe me, she is one of the hottest girls I ever worked with … She speaks perfect Czech, English, and French. She is every man’s dream!”

Kyla herself, of course, was well aware of how she was every man’s dream, too. When you worked mostly as a nude glamour model, who also did Andrew Blake movies, your main motivation was to be an object of fantasy and perfecting that became the ultimate goal. I had seen Kyla fleetingly, in numerous magazine layouts including Guld Rapport, a Swedish hardcore publication that I was also writing for. She’d appeared under her real name, Martina. I had actually first seen her in the December 1999 issue of Genesis, under the name Ester.

This, amazingly, made zero impression on me at the time, simply because I was about to interview Silvia Saint, who was on the cover. Silvia was the only reason I even bought that issue and so, at the time, I pretty much ignored the rest of the magazine. Only after I’d discovered Kyla did I realize who “Ester” was; the name wasn’t Kyla’s choice, it was, in the style of most nude photo layouts, conveniently invented by the magazine. She later chose the name Kyla Cole herself, though the text accompanying her American Penthouse debut was somewhat dubious—it stated that she was from Seattle, instead of Slovakia (she has since corrected this and issued a disclaimer on her website).

She worked only with girls or by herself in all her magazine layouts and movies, and firmly believed, as she declared to me, that “I am not a porn star.
