Eric's Birthday Party - Rice Queens and Mancakes

from Urban Dictionary:

rice queen - n. - A non-Asian gay male who is predominantly physically attracted to other gay males of Asian descent, usually significantly younger. Similar to the phenomenon plaguing Asian women in the western world, the "rice queen" objectifies, sexualizes, and demoralizes his Asian counterpart. Vice versa, the Asian male in this partnership internalizes this colonial, imperialistic, and racist worldview, and will come to believe that by dating a non-Asian, this will increase his social status within the local gay community.

Ex. - Jeff may be a bit of a rice queen, but he loves and respects his gaysian boyfriend.

It's Eric's birthday! Party at Boiler Room!



Asians love Eric.

Don't believe me? Count em'.



Yup. That was just one corner of the room.

And me and Ethan aren't even in the picture.



For his birthday, Eric brought ManCakes from Butch Bakery.



They're beautiful.



Liquor-filled.



And they're GOOD.



At $56 a dozen they BETTER be good...





Happy Birthday Queen!

Gossip Boy!

Took some pics today for Connor P. who plays Eric van der Woodsen (Serena's little brother) on Gossip Girl.



He sure has grown up fast!

We were going for not-smiley, not-happy, not-preppy, angsty, troubled runaway.

Mad Man

Today I photographed Bryan Batt, one of the stars of Mad Men.



He's from New Orleans!

He was so super duper nice.

Sexy Latin Fun

My friend and former client Juan Pablo just facebook messaged me saying he is back in Venezuela because he landed the lead role on a new soap.

Here's the trailer:



It's looking like they might get picked up by Univision.

Exciting!

He actually had really long hair when we shot...



And I had tied it back and then photoshopped it to look shorter so that he could go out for more mainstream roles.



In the end they cast him in this soap but forced him to cut his hair anyway. He looks SO good in the promo.



J.P. is also apparently slated to play a "Sexy Male Angel" in some upcoming film.

I see a big future for this one.

He's going to be the next Javier Bardem. But hotter.

Surrogate Sighting!

So I netflixed Surrogates and just started watching it this evening.

If you haven't seen it, it's this Bruce Willis movie about the future and how everyone uses a "Surrogate" to represent them in the real world.

These surrogates are like robots and are perfect looking and so there's lots and lots of ridiculously pretty people in the movie.

So in one of the opening scenes there's a car crash.



This car swerves to avoid hitting a motorcyclist and hits a pole and flips and crashes into a line of surrogates waiting in line for a club.




The police arrive.



And clean up the scene.



As they pull the car away...they unveil our sexy surrogate innocent bystander victim...



And it's Danny!



Happily he is not dead because he is sparking and still able to move his head and wiggle his fingers.



Unhappily, this is all we get to see of him in the movie.



Hmmph.



Bet it was a fun movie to shoot though!
