Photograph by Ryan Lewis ( www.ryanklewis.com )

“A look can get you into the room, but something has to keep you there.” –Madonna

“Ink Stain” is now out. I’m in it. I’m now in porn. Fantastic! One of my dreams has come to life! But lets take a look back to something I wrote for Porn Confidential in 2004.

I’ve come a long way in 5 years. The tattoos then numbered 16, they now number 43. Industry wise, Ricky Sinz (Raging Stallion’s 2009 Man Of The Year) is perhaps one of the most tattooed and most lauded actor in porn today. Logan McCree (Ink Stain cover boy) recently won Performer of the Year at the GayVNs. Francois Sagat has his hairline tattooed in. Even clean cut darling Josh Vaughn has the Abercrombie moose logo tattooed on him.

I read a recent statistic that 1/3 of Americans aged 18-30 have a tattoo that is visible in casual dress. At the gym MORE people have tattoos than not. And more and more of our pop culture icons are tattooed in some form or another. Look at Pink, look at Madonna’s Brazilian friend and male model Jesus Luz, at Tyson Beckford, Kylie Minogue’s back up dancer and renowned choreographer Marco DeSilvia. All of them are tattooed

With “Ink Stain” it was my look that got me into that room. Indeed it was my tattoos that prompted internationally acclaimed and award winning photographer Justin Monroe to contact me through Myspace to work with him on an upcoming project. I’ve since been able to work with some of the most phenomenal photographers in Ohio on project ranging from sexy tattooed Jesus, to high fashion editorial beauty work.

Does that mean that since the world has changed that much? Now hold up, listen partner I’m not going THAT far! As a matter of fact I recently got off the phone with a gentleman who indeed told me that my tattoos were either hindering me from getting more adult work OR the type of work that I was being requested for wasn’t of the best, safest, or most reputable type. Interesting... Does that mean that looking like a freak now makes one a freak?

In my history as a stripper and go go boy (11 years now kids) if I had a dollar for every time I’d heard “You know, I normally don’t like tattoos, but you are fucking hot!” I’d be able to start my own porn company, record company, mainstream film production company, and comic book publishing company (With R J Danvers and Erik Rhodes as creative directors) and STILL be able to buy out Mariah Carey’s contract so she would never pollute the world with another album. What does that mean? In a photograph, I’m still too tattooed (sidebar kittens, I’m not stopping anytime soon. I’m quite successful in what I do outside of adult entertainment, I just really enjoy being IN adult entertainment.), but in real life my skin is somehow hot. Again I say… interesting…

A look got me into a room… it got me into a book… it got me rubbing elbows with supermodels, reality TV stars, former boy band members, and pop stars… It got me into a scene with an industry acclaimed porn actor, by an industry acclaimed director, for an industry acclaimed adult production company. What’s going to keep me in that room you might be asking… the same thing that kept the woman I quoted earlier in the room when no one believed in her!

2008-12-22T18:17:00.000-08:00

The year in review:

Well it seems to be the time of year were everyone writes blogs about life changes and fun stuff… ups and downs, heart breaks and aches… the passing of times, the end of eras, changes in history… the thank yous, I love yous, and I miss yous…
This year started out… rocky for me, and it turned into something utterly amazing and wonderful! I set two goals this year, and I achieved both of them, and so much more. But more on that later.

As far as friendships go, what was a Holy Trinity last year of Jeri Dickey, Bruce Johnson, and Rustun Schack, turned into a holy quintet with the additions of Keebler and Steven/Alexis Stevens. Now yes, I know I've known Keebler just as long as Rustun, but this year I really was blessed and got to KNOW Keebler! And yes I know I've known Steven/Alexis for many years… but whatever! It's my story and I'm telling it the way that I want to.

For starters I want to get this part out of the way… The Universe/the Light/God… Jeri, Bruce, Rustun, Keebler, Alexis/Steven, Justin Monroe, Steve Alexander, Jeff Simpson, Ron, Micheal Rohrick, Ryan Lewis, Melissa and the staff at Professional Tattoo, Samantha Rollins, Rob, Nicole, Scott, Ray, Rajeesh, the Roy G Biv staff, Vee, Onyx, Julie, Marcella, Evonne, Sara, Trupti, Rachel, Jessica, Dorothy, Jill, Lisa, the staff and members of Lifetime Fitness, Sheila, Lee, Matt, Scott, the staff of EDP, Eric, Wayne, Joel, Ziv, Fern, Ricky Sinz, Jake Dekard, Kent Taylor, Scott Tanner, Chris Ward, Geof Teague, the staff at Raging Stallion… To Madonna, Kylie and Dannii Minogue, Robert Pattinson, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Garner, Prince… and many, many others... Thank you!

This year started out VERY interestingly to say the least! Importantly January opened up many doors for me as I began a new career chapter with Lifetime Fitness. Rachel, Dorothy, and Julie played an integral part of this new chapter and accomplishing a long time goal of being a certified fitness instructor. The journey, which is far from over, has been rewarding, exciting, and simply incredible! I have been blessed with so much by entering into a career in fitness.
The was an amazing shift that occurred this year at Axis night club when Alexis Stevens took over hosting the Friday night shows. As I began working with Alexis I realized that she, like myself, wanted to take those shows to a whole new level, and I was more than happy and willing to aid that. And we have SO MUCH MORE planned starting in January.

In the fall of 2008 I also had the distinct pleasure of traveling with Alexis, Vee Love, Bianca, Julia, and Stevena to San Antonio, Texas to help Alexis compete for the title of Miss Gay US of A at Large national. The trip was not only amazing, but I couldn't be more proud of what we did and how well we pulled it off!

Madonna released a new record, and with that came a new tour. I had the pleasure of traveling with Las Vegas with some of my best friends, Bruce, Rustun, and Keebler to see the Sticky and Sweet Tour in a whole new city for me! It was also Keebler's first time seeing Madonna and I know that he was impressed. Hopefully she gained a new life long fan!

At the beginning of the year I set two goals for myself. One of those goals was to work out, eat pretty clean, and by October try my hand at modeling. That goal came to fruition in August.
In May I was contacted by world renowned photographer Justin Monroe to be part of his, then upcoming, project a book titled "Down The Rabbit Hole". Timing didn't work out so well for that, but in August I flew for my first time to Los Angeles and not only was photographed by such a genius, but I also gained a dear friend! Meeting him and his boyfriend Stevey impacted my soul almost as much as being so blessed as to work with Justin has impacted my life. Justin helped me realize a dream, and I have since been blessed to work with other great photographers, but none will ever impact me as much as Justin Monroe.

In early December I was also blessed enough to be on the guest list at the LA release party for "Down The Rabbit Hole" where I got to meet some amazing people including models from the Janice Dickenson Modeling Agency, Jessica Rabbit, Cody Fallon, and a host of many other people who I can only hope that calling them fantastic does them justice!

There is more to come, but you will all get to see that in February when it happens for public consumption! I'm talking life changing people! So stay tuned!

This year wasn't without it's changes and losses. I moved into a fabulous apartment with my friend Bruce, I saw my friend Onyx move on to bigger and better in New York City, my uncle passed away, my car is dead… you can't have the ups without the downs! And I'm just as thankful for each trial and lesson and curse as I am for each blessing!

The hit list!

Jeri Dickey: We didn't spend NEARLY enough time together this year, and for that I am sorry. I love honor and cherish you and your family… Hell I now even have a piece of my BFF Jonny tattooed on my arm forever and ever. The crusade to fight CF has never been stronger in my heart, and know that as I prepare to move in 09 I, as long as you have a team for the CF walk, and when you decide to have Step Up 4 A Cure again I will be a part of that with you!

Bruce: And so here we are… a new chapter. What have we NOT been through so far! I'm so thankful that you are still in my life, that you are one of my best friends, and that I can still rely on you! Big changes happened this year and you were right there with me! And we did our third Madonna concert together! HOLY SHIT… that means you were with me every time I saw Madonna! I guess that that just means you'll have to keep going to see her with me!!!!!! More trips in the coming year… and lots of packing HA HA HA. I love and adore you!

Rustun: boy oh boy oh boy oh boy… Second Madonna concert with you young man! This also means you gotta go with me every time I see her! It's been an interesting year for us hasn't it? I've missed you and we certainly didn't spend a lot of time together this year, but hey… that happens. The extent to which you have impacted my life is indeed great, you know that already. Ups and downs and ins and outs and overs and unders and yet we are still friends! I love you and thank you for still being a part of my life!

Steven/Alexis: Notice how I placed your names this time. What can I say about you… you listened to me and kept me from being nervous when I reached my two goals this year. You helped me obtain my certification and enabled me to go and take my test, you asked me to help you with Nationals, and what means more than anything is that you asked me to help you obtain goals that you had put away a long time ago. We've become intertwined, as it should be! As much as you say I have helped you, you too have helped me become a better me. Here's to bigger, better, faster, and more in the future, Steven! I honor, love, adore, cherish, respect, and thank you with every fiber of my being that isn't dark!

Keebler: oohhhh Keebler… it's been a big year for us hasn't it? I really really can say that I love you little guy! More than you know even. I'm so happy that we became close, thank you for the nights out, helping with the house warming party, being with me on the trip to Vegas… thank you for becoming one of my best friends. You're such an amazing little guy and I'm TRULY blessed to have you in my life!

Rachel: WOW… it has been a year for us too hasn't it? Talk about ups and downs. We were meant to meet and be there for each other! I love you! I am proud of you… and I know that we are there for each other! We are a great time, and even greater friends. You started it all for me in the fitness world, all those accomplishments you pushed me toward! There isn't a day that goes by where I don't thank G-d for you!

Julie: JULY WIL-KISS!!!!! GIRL what is there to say that I haven't already said to you. You have done so much for me and pushed me and taught me… you have been many things to me, but the greatest is friend. You have included me in your life, and even allowed me to shake it up a little bit, and there isn't enough of saying "thank you" that can express my gratitude! I love you! Oh and so long as the circumstances stay as they are… we have a standing Valentine's Day Date!

Justin Monroe: Jesus fucking Christ on a cracker! That sums it up doesn't it? What I have going for me from here on out I owe all to you and the fact that you liked the randomness of my tattoos! Our connection was instant, our friendship immediate and life long. I mean… who else would order ranch dressing at a sushi place JUST to play a joke on your incredible boyfriend? And PS Second to your mom and boyfriend I am your biggest fan! I will never forget sitting at Roscoe's with you and you looking at me after we shot, talking about my moving out there, and saying to me "What the hell are you so afraid of?" And I gave you a date of when I will be moving out there, because you saw in me what I really deserved out of life. You are my devil, and you are my angel! Thank you for not only opening a door, but opening a window… and just pushing me out of it.

To my Ohio "family": It's been a great and wild year! And don't think that just because I am leaving at the end of the coming year that I'm not going to leave my mark up on this bitch! I'm changing the way things are done in this dry state! I'm injecting life into it before I leave! Don't you worry!

I owe you all that much! And when I come back, probably to get tattooed by my artist who I REFUSE to give up, I'll keep giving those injections!

To my LA "family": You bitches run the SPECTRUM out there. Some of you wear gold, diamonds, and ride in limos… some of you wear stainless steel lip rings, black t-shirts, and ride whatever, wherever, whenever, and whoever you can. I can't wait to be up in that mix! I feel at home in LA… tattoos, rock and roll, porn, money, celebrity… poverty, degradation, late drunken nights and hellacious hang overs, two faced back biting queeny bitches, powerful people, velvet ropes… glamour, trash, sleaze… YES PLEASE!

08 is done… and my best friend Steven/Alexis said to me recently… "There is no future in the past." He's right. And my future is a wild crazy ride that starts in the colds of Ohio, will take me Down the Rabbit Hole… Through the Looking Glass… have me "Ink Stained"… possibly somewhere where I "Eat This"… wrapped in "Roger Chelsea"… on stage, off stage, in stage, and going through stages… all leading me closer to the truth, and the best ME that I can hope to be!

Music... makes the people...

2008-10-28T05:39:00.000-07:00

As you may have seen from a previous post, I recently had the pleasure of being one of the semi-finalists in the Mr. Gay.com 2008 contest. For whatever reason I didn’t make it to the next round, however from that I did have the amazing opportunity to be asked a few questions for http://blog.muzophile.com/ and to get to know the man behind the blog, and the site http://www.muzophile.com/

From there I decided why not flip the script and asked a few questions for BLOG.MUZOPHILE.COM and to get to know Muzo, the man behnd the blog and Website: www.muzophile.com:'

Lets start with the basics.... Where did you grow up? How many siblings, if any do you have? That sort of thing.

I was born in Chicago. My father was in radio, so we moved around a bit: Nebraska, Michigan, and then finally settled in Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C., when I was around 8 years old, so I would consider that home. But I've also lived in Florida, Tennessee and now CA for the last 12 years.

I'm the eldest of three. My younger brother is three years younger; my sister is 15 years younger. (Yes, we all have the same parents, lol.) And my bro and sis both rock, literally - they are in bands. Music is something that runs in my family. My Dad is in the industry, my Mom an artist - I got really lucky with very cool, creative parents.

Think back to when you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

A few things - I remember the first was I really wanted to be an eye doctor. I felt I always had such great vision and could see well, so I wanted to help others who couldn't see as well. But then I got the writing bug. When I was 8 years old, I was in love with anything Jim Henson and the movie 'The Dark Crystal.' So I wrote a book about it, including Q&As for all the characters, trivia questions, etc., and submitted it to the Jim Henson Co. Let me tell you, I will never forget it...it was the best rejection letter I ever received, lol.

It was hand-signed by Jim Henson (or a secretary who can fake his signature, now that I think about it! lol), and it said 'I should continue to pursue my dreams, my work was great, but that all those types of things were handled by studio execs, etc. But that I had real hope and promise.' I'm sure it was a form letter they sent out, but for an 8 year old, it meant a lot!

The thing about it was that it was really signed by him. Whether he ever actually read the letter that was sent to me didn't matter, because after reading it, I remember thinking to myself: 'Oh hell no, Muzo does not take no for an answer, I'm gonna write more.' lol After studying journalism in high school and college, I have been working as a writer/editor for various entertainment news publications for 10 years. And, of course, I love my own personal blog BLOG.MUZOPHILE.COM, cuz it's all the fun stuff I enjoy.

That is the best story ever! I too loved “The Dark Crystal”, in fact it’s the first movie I ever remember seeing. I was living in Taiwan at the time, I was three, and it was on a Beta!
Since we’ve already mentioned it a few times, tell everyone…What is MUZOPHILE?

I grew up in the radio industry and always believed I had a good ear for music that would work well - growing up as a club kid, I've been around club/dance music for a long time now, and it's always been my favorite. In recent years, I thought the music being played in the clubs here in Los Angeles had gotten kind of lame. I wanted to start up my own station that played what I liked and what I thought would work well in the clubs - and I had hoped others would like it, too.

I started out working with one DJ on coming up with sets. And now there are over 50 DJs I work with for the station.

The word MUZOPHILE is something I made up. It's pretty straightforward, but basically it means 'one who likes (or is addicted) to music.' This is the part where I sound crazy, but it's true: When I first started the station, I was thinking 'What can I call this station?' I got into my zone, lol, and in my crazy little head, I saw the word MUZOPHILE, for real. Exactly how the logo looks is exactly what I saw. So I googled it, to make sure I wasn't recalling it from somewhere, and it got 0 results, so I was like 'Oh hell, that's mine!' lol Now if you google it, you get a few more than zero results thanks to some awesome support from others who may embrace my brand of craziness, lol! :)

Then the blog came second. I work in news, so getting info and sharing it with others has always been a passion ingrained in me. I thought it would be a cool way to share news about artists, events, etc. And I enjoy every aspect of it - creating it, promoting it, the technical side, all of it.

Being addicted to music, how do you select the music that you promote on your blog?

It stems mostly from my personal tastes - which skew more pop/Top 40/R&B and definitely club/dance. But I also listen to people, too, who write in and suggest certain artists be covered. But the theme of my blog is definitely music-based. You won't see pictures of celebs without makeup walking out of Starbucks - I find that boring and kind of weird, to be honest. But all the content on the MUZOPHILE blog is somehow related to music - even if I do a post about an actor, it's usually someone who is also a musician or tied into music somehow, etc. And being that I'm a homo and work mostly with other gays, I also include things I think would be of interest to others in the gay community.

Who are your music icons?

Madonna, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Billy Joel, Britney, Journey (Steve Perry is the best male vocalist on the planet in my opinion), those are just a few off the top of my head, there are definitely more.

Now that is an array of artists, personally I can live without numbers 2-4 but that’s me. Why are they icons to you?

First off would be the music - second, they are classic performers who stand the test of time. And third, they all march to their own beat.

Music and Fashion have always been so connected. I’m a dancer, and a model. Madonna has always been on the front lines of music, fashion, and media, countless musicians have their own clothing lines or appear on the covers of “Vogue” and “Details”. So that begs the question, who are your fashion icons?

Ah, fashion. It's never been my strength to be honest. I've never been much of a fashion guy. I try to have friends that can give me a clue - but Madonna is definitely an innovator. As far as men, I've always admired more classic looks, like George Clooney. 100 years from now, when the futuristas look back at pics from today, he will still stand the test of time.

Since it’s not a strength of yours then I’m going to need for you to describe your personal style, and we need details on the underwear selections you prefer, naturally. Nothing like being put on the spot, eh?

Ha! My personal style - definitely casual. I like to get random stuff at thrift shops, or, I should say - as I was recently instructed by a local shop I just went to...'vintage boutiques' lol (hell, it looked like a thrift shop to me) - anything comfortable. Overall, I'm mostly a jeans and T-shirt kinda guy. Underwear? Mmmm.... lol. I like 2Xist anything.

You've done a lot of interviews with a very wide array of people. From musicians, to pop acts, to porn stars, to models, thus far who surprised you the most with their answers and what was so surprising about them?

That's a great question. Everyone I've interviewed has surprised me in some way or another. I'm gonna say the interview I did with dance artists Amber and Zelma Davis (formerly of C+C Music Factory). These are performers I've admired for years, so I was thrilled to get a chance to ask them about themselves. Amber is a performer, but she is also very much a businesswoman and is very much in control of all she does, I found that really admirable - the balancing act between creative artist and entrepreneur is genius, so those who achieve that are brilliant in my humble opinion. And Zelma was someone I worshipped back in high school, so to find out how damn cool she is and really, just fun, level-headed, grounded - that was very exciting for me.

Who would you most like to interview that you haven't?

I'd be interested to go back in time and interview my ancestors to see if my crazy brain is something that I inherited. But on a modern-day level, I think it'd be really cool to interview Madonna. I know, 'how cliche,' but can you imagine? The woman has been in the industry for 30 years. What hasn't she already been asked? It would be a real challenge to come up with something that would pique her interest (to make it a good interview).

Please, to answer Madonna isn’t cliché. She is the one and only Madonna. Other pop stars have their counterparts. Mariah has Christina, Siouxsie Sioux has Amy Lee, Diana Ross has Beyonce, but Madonna… she is the one and only Madonna.
A big part of what attracts me to Madonna has always been her desire and need to give back to the community and to the world. She has always inspired me to remember that what I have I should share, that I need to do my part to make the a planet for everyone, not just think of this as MY back yard. What charities and causes are most important to you when thinking about where you want to donate time or money?

Anyone who knows me knows I'm a huge dog lover - I always seem to get along with dogs well (my friends call me the dog whisperer), and I believe that animals need the same love and care as people do. I find it heartbreaking that there are thousands of dogs every year who are abused - or worse yet, put down, because they have been abandoned.

I support ASPCA, an animal rights organization that works towards keeping animals safe, informs the public on how they can help and aids in finding pets homes.

http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer

And as far as causes: VOTE NO on Prop 8!! :)

http://www.noonprop8.com/

Alright. That was a bit deep and heavy so let's flip the script, you asked me this, so it’s only fair that I ask you… What does a guy have to do to get you naked?

lol, touche, that's my line! ;) Well...I'm a hard one. It takes a lot for me to get to that point with someone. So, hmmm, patience, I suppose.

What do you like to do on a first date?

It's been so long since I've been on a date, that's a hard one! lol Something casual, maybe go out for drinks.

Alright, well next time I'm in town I'll take you out on a date!

Let’s play Inside The Blogger’s Studio!
Favorite color?

Black - because it encompasses all colors.

Favorite animal?

My 12-year-old Dachshund, The Wood. (Yes, that's his name, lol)

Favorite book?

'Charlotte's Web'

Favorite song?

To pick just one would be really hard, lol. First, Genesis' 'Turn It on Again.' (It was the very first '45 I ever owned...yes, a 45. If you don't know what that is, I may cry, lol. But man, I played that little record into the ground! Still love that song.)

And this is where I show how deep I am: Mariah Carey's 'Fantasy'

Favorite movie?

'Happy Birthday to Me' (early 80s low-budget horror pic)

Favorite word?

Esoteric. :)

Favorite cuss word?

Fuck that. We don't use 'those' types of words in this clean home. ;)

The one place you want to go that you have yet to go?

I've been to every major city in the U.S. (and many 'not-so-major' cities, too). All over Canada, Mexico, Central America, South America. But I've never been to Europe. My family comes from Wales, the Czech Republic and Germany, so I'd like to visit those places.

Any last words to live by???

Yeah. Dance, Bitchez! :)

What a tattoo CAN say about who you are!

2008-10-27T11:07:00.000-07:00

Mind you... i have 37 tattoos!

This research about tattoos and personality was recently published in the journal Personality and Mental Health.
What Tattoos Reveal about Personality

Psychiatrists from the Michigan Center for Forensic Psychiatry studied 36 male inpatients, and found a link between tattoos and antisocial personality disorder. Further, these psychiatrists found that suicide attempts, substance abuse, and sexual abuse may be more common in forensic psychiatric inpatients with tattoos.

"Our findings suggest that forensic psychiatric inpatients with tattoos are significantly more likely to suffer from antisocial personality disorder than those without tattoos, and patients with antisocial personality disorder were also significantly more likely to have higher numbers of tattoos, a larger percentage of their body covered with tattoos, and tended to have tattoos in more visible locations" said lead researcher Dr. William Cardasis of the Michigan Center for Forensic Psychiatry. "I hope that this provides clues for clinicians to look for ASPD in forensic psychiatric patients with tattoos, and also to look for signs of suicide attempt, substance abuse, and sexual abuse."

"One should keep in mind that the population studied was only a small segment of the population, and not indicative of what may or may not be relevant in the general population," added Cardasis. "Other interesting questions which this research raises include whether adolescents with tattoos are more likely to conduct disorder than those without, and what effect the meaning and subject content of the tattoo has."

Antisocial Personality Disorder

Antisocial personality disorder is characterized by a lack of empathy and remorse, a low tolerance for anxiety, and shallowness. People with antisocial personality disorder prefer action to thought. Lying, cheating, stealing, physical aggression and drug abuse are also linked to people with antisocial personality disorder.

Inspiration!

2008-10-23T15:32:00.000-07:00

This model inspired me to pursue my dream!

Ève Salvail (born April 7, 1973 in Matane, Quebec) is a Canadian supermodel
She was one of the top fashion models of the 1990s. Whilst modeling in Japan in the early 1990s she made the bold decision to shave her head bald and have a Chinese dragon tattooed on her scalp. Her distinctive look was spotted by Jean Paul Gaultier and soon she became a top model in the European fashion capitals. She would often grow her hair and dye it blonde, red or even pink. For the last few years she has sported very short blonde hair and moved away from modeling, but returned to the catwalk in 2006. In 2007 she shaved her head again and is currently bald (September 2007).

Salvail appeared as herself in the Robert Altman film Prêt-à-Porter. She also made appearances in The Fifth Element and Zoolander. She has appeared on the covers of several magazines including ELLE, Marie Claire and Wired. Salvail also appeared in a Lenny Kravitz music video.
On the January 9, 2007 episode of the Tyra Banks Show titled "Coming Out Stories", Salvail is said to have come out of the closet. She also made an appearance on Tyra's show America's Next Top Model where she talked to the girls of Cycle 6 about how her career got started.

For some time she was the lead singer in a band called Ten Watt Mary. She has also collaborated with Bryan Adams. In more recent years Eve Salvail has been working as a DJ in New York, often using the name DJ Evalicious.

about me & why I'd like to be mr gay.com 2008

I want to be Mr. Gay.com to show that no matter what labels are available to us, or what others label us, we are each unique. Call me a jock because my second job is in a gym and I spend a lot of time working out and training to fight... call me a side show freak because I'm tattooed and more bendy than a hot pretzel. Call me a model because I have posed for Justin Monroe. Call me whatever you like, I am the one ME there is, just like you are the only YOU there is! Being "gay" is about just that, being different, and in being different we find out that we are all the same. Why when so many others want to put us in little boxes, do we find it necessary to put ourselves into boxes as well? I am not the Boy Next Door, I'm not a muscle stud, or a silver fox... I am not yet a community leader. I am the rest of the world! I am the dancer, the model, the activist, the rock star (wanna be), the good time guy. I am the friend, the lover, the hater. I am what WE are, Diverse, engaging, exotic. I want to be Mr. Gay.com because I want to break the mold and represent the majority of the gay world, who might just not fit so neatly into socities boxes.

Blessings and Light, Alexander

Penn texts Madonna to boast about gay kiss

Sean Penn was so excited he had experienced his first same-sex kiss with Milk co-star James Franco - he immediately texted gay icon Madonna to boast. Penn stars alongside Franco in the forthcoming biopic of San Francisco's first gay Mayor Harvey Milk, in which the pair play lovers. And after wrapping their first gay smooch scene, Penn wanted to tell his ex-wife Madonna about his risque antics. Franco tells Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper, 'After our kiss, Sean texted Madonna and said, 'I just popped my cherry kissing a guy. I thought of you. I don't know why'.'

I love it!!!!!! LOVE IT I SAY!!!!!!

This is it kids. My first blog post! Alexander Chang now has a blog!

So... like the shot above? http://www.justinmonroe.com is where you will find the genius work of the photographer who took that shot of me! His name is Justin Monroe, whom I have taken to calling the Madonna of Photographers! I felt it appropriate that I would dedicate my first post to his work, since working with him has opened so many doors for me!

His first book "Down the Rabbit Hole" comes out at the end of November!

That's it for right now kids!
Stay tuned! Same Cat-time... same cat-blog... same Cat-tastrophy!

Meow Baby!
