Coulter "Colt" Thomas
A fantasy man, he came out of Texas… He was a 23-year-old
medical resident at the University of Texas at Galveston when he stepped onto
the stage and won the title of International Mr. Leather 1983. He radiated sex.
Although he was only 5 feet 9 inches tall, his chest and butt were perfection,
so people didn’t much notice or care that he wasn’t tall. He was a sunny
blonde. He was a doctor, a cowboy and a leatherman. He was every daddy’s boy
and every Top’s bottom. He was classy, and better still, he had class. He worked very hard during his year as IML, traveling over
40 weekends and making friends all over the world. He never disappointed his
friends and admirers. He lived his life to the fullest whether he was involved
with community service or at the infamous Slot Hotel, The Saint in New York,
The Hot House or the Arena. He loved to show off his muscles and to dance the
night away. He liked hot, horny, sexy little men. Neanderthals he called
them. He enjoyed disco music and the Village People, Phantom of
the Opera and romantic love songs. He was tattooed and pierced, and he
loved what his tattoos and piercings did for his body. He died September 6, 1992 in San Francisco. Peter Fiske, in 1996 for |
