Tom Short and Jimmy Giussi posed like twins on the AMG rooftop for this photo, 
and their squiggles are relatively close matches.  I wonder if "Short" was 
a stage name chosen by Mizer for sly symbolic reasons.

  1. Tom is very handsome! But if he was born in July 1943 and Jim was burn in April 1943, how can Tom be 22 while Jim is only 19? Not that this is of major importance.

    1. I guess Mizer's math wasn't always the best?

    2. Mizer is actually using Giussi's actual name and birth information. Giussi played Ta in season 2 of Land of the Lost under the stage name Scutter McKay. He died of cancer in 1989 age 45.

    3. Thanks for the info, Turtle! Sorry, though, to hear about Mr. Giussi's sad fate.

  2. Not to confuse things further but the guy on the left looks a lot like a young John Krivos. We all know that these guys would change names with each photographer they posed for. Up until now I'd never seen Mizer's symbols on any of his photos. It seems rather unwise to have a personal code displayed publicly, considering how often he was prosecuted.

    1. Oh yes, I've seem some of these models under as many as three names, sometimes using more that one at different times with the same photographer. The guy above does resemble Krivos, but I did some comparisons and don't think it's him.
