Josh Pesavento was the first Josh for the JOSH. He lives in Brooklyn.
He’s a photography student. He’s sweet. He’s 100% real. Check out his photography here.


Joshua David Riegel is our second Josh (or Joshua, as he prefers). Joshua sports some sexy tats with a compelling narrative behind each of them. Read more about Joshua and his tattoos here (pdf).


Josh Cassidy was a popular go-go boy from Pensacola, Florida. He later moved to Atlanta, where he won the 1972 Mr. David contest. He liked to wear patriotic swimwear. Today, he is a community historian of sorts, one of the last known members of Georgia’s Gay Liberation Front and a survivor of the AIDS epidemic. Josh is, in fact, a living memorial.
