Bought and Paid For by AKM Miles

Bought and Paid For is, as the title suggests, a bit of Cinderfella story mixed with Romeo and Jules. Deacon and Parker were in love, both young, successful and happy, Deacon an art dealer and Parker a young promising oncologist. True, their life was not perfect, Parker worked long hours, but Deacon loved him so much that was always ready to comfort and wait for him. Then Deacon's father, a Senator, put a veto on this relationship, it was unacceptable for his son to be gay, and he swore to destroy every man in Deacon's life. Here maybe is the only side that I didn't like so much about Deacon, he had not the strength to oppose to his father, but, as the story was planned, it was also maybe the only good thing to do. Deacon staged a fake cheating and obviously Parker left him with a broken heart, but still with his beloved work as a doctor.

Two years later Deacon's father is dead, and without being missed by his son or his employees, and Deacon is free to try to conquer Parker again. A charity bachelor action is a good chance and now Deacon has also the money to be sure that he will be the higher bidder. From that moment on, the story is pretty much a sweet romance, with the revelation that, despite two years apart, both men are still deeply in love.

Both Deacon than Parker are apparently strong men, tall and handsome, but they are also easily wounded when feelings are involved. Basically they are two romantic hearts, they believe in forever and only love and being forced to be apart was almost their death, at least from a emotional point of view. They are like those animals that bound only one time in their life and when one of the mate dies, the other soon follows him.

The author has the chance to push a lot on the angst button, but she chooses to dose it; with Parker's job it would have been easy to arise sympathy for him, and instead she only gave a glimpse on it when serves her to describe how caring Deacon was for his lover. Other than that, more than on the angst button, she chooses to push on the emotional one. Deacon's choice how to use his inherited money, his actions towards Parker, but also Parker's easy conquest, due to his love for Deacon, are all thought to make the reader smile and dream, more than make him cry.

Man Candy Day: Andrew Stetson, Garrett Neff & Simon Tham

I believe that most of my friends, looking at a picture of a pretty man in black or white underwear, the first thought they would have in mind is Calvin Klein. From the '90 and on, Calvin Klein is one of those fashion firm that has the credit to have created the "male model", before them, the man was only an appendage to the female woman, and most of the time you didn't know the name of those men. So this week I would like to feature three of the men chosen to represent Calvin Klein in the world, two already big names, Andrew Stetson and Garrett Neff, and one that I'm sure will be a big name, Simon Tham.

Andrew Stetson (born August 24, 1979 in Oakville, Ontario) is a Canadian supermodel. Stetson began his career as a carpenter, becoming a male fashion model at the age of 19. Stetson was discovered by Norwayne Anderson of the NAM agency. "I spotted him at a bar and circled him for half an hour so I could see him from every angle," his agent says. "It was his lips and eyes that got me."



( Andrew Stetson )

After a year of modeling in New York and Europe, he returned to renovating homes. Stetson started a home renovation business, Stetson Designs Inc. He says, "I worked right away, doing editorial and catalogues in New York, Paris and Milan. But I really missed carpentry. I missed building things."

Five years later, his friends and family encouraged him to return to modeling. He has since walked for top fashion shows, and has appeared in numerous ad campaigns for Armani, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Zara, Calvin Klein, Levi’s, Bloomingdales, and H&M. Despite his successful modeling career, Stetson says he wants to return to carpentry. "I'm making the most of modelling. But to be honest, I would rather go back to carpentry. I love carpentry. It's not work to me. And it keeps me grounded and balanced. There are not a lot of models who have something else to fall back on." On August 2006, Stetson signed a three-year contract becoming the face of Calvin Klein's new cologne, Euphoria.

Andrew is currently engaged to his elementary school sweetheart.

Garrett Neff (born in Delaware 1986) is an American model. He was discovered at an airport in 2005 while vacationing in Barbados and signed with Click Model Management after a year. He is best known to be the face of Man cologne by Calvin Klein. Garrett Neff worked brands such as: Siviglia S/S 09, Loewe S/S 09, Calvin Klein MAN Fragrance 09, Calvin Klein Underwear F/W 08, Calvin Klein MAN Fragrance F/W 08, Abercrombie & Fitch, Benetton, and Lagerfeld. He has also appeared in: V Man (Hail to the Brief; Extreme Class: The Sharp Dressed Man by Mario Testino; Spring Scenes), L’Uomo Vogue (My Playground, The Unauthorized Miami Diary, by Bruce Weber), L’Officiel Hommes (True Colors by Milan Vukmirovic), and GQ. Currently, he holds the number 2 spot along with Sean O'Pry in the top 50 male models.



( Garrett Neff )

He is a real gym rat. For him working out is the best way to blow off the steam and stress from a long day. But also running and hiking are on his list of favourite pass times. To balance all this healthy exercise, Garett also likes a good barbecue every now and then. Garrett Wayne Neff was born and raised in a little town about one hour drive from Mt Rushmore in South Dakota. He grew up outdoors and spent his time building impressive forts and playing soccer. His dream was to play college ball but he had to give that up in order to attend the University of Hawaii instead.

A dream of a very different kind that involves both Garrett and Hawaii is one of his most unforgettable moments. "Swimming 200-300 yards offshore in Kona, HI to chase down a school of dolphins. It was just a friend and I wearing nothing but fins and a mask." Besides modelling Garrett is also enrolled at Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose. Garrett Neff graduated from Bucknell University where he was a member of the Division 1 tennis team.

Garrett Neff is also the new body of Calvin Klein’s latest underwear ad campaign by Fabien Baron. His photos will be part of the men’s global print and media campaign launching in 17 countries. Apparently some photos didn’t make the cut since they are too steamy for even the Calvin Klein people. In his last shot, Garrett Neff shows us what it takes to be pretty in the new Spring/Summer 2009 issue of Man About Town by photographer Tom Allen.

Simon Tham is a Thailand male model and one of the last for Calvin Klein’s underwear campaign by Adam Raphael & Gregory Vaughan and for Abercrombie & Fitch with photographer Greg Swales. He is also in the Ralph Lauren’s Autumn ’08 campaign with his friend Kerry Degman.

Top 100 Gay Novel: How I Paid for College by Marc Acito

Everytime I heard about this book, it was about how funny it was, how crazy and original. And since it is also tagged as a Gay Young Adult novel, I was really interested in reading it, since usually Gay YA novels are always sad and, let us say, depressing. How I Paid for College, A Novel of Sex, Theft, Friendship & Musical Theater is all but depressing. Edward Zanni's attitude towards life is to full face front it, rather than being depressed by the odds in his path. But, truth be told, this is not even a gay novel; the fact that Edward is bisexual (because he is bisexual, maybe with a more enhanced interest in men, but not an exclusive interest) it's not the main pushing factor of the novel.

Edward is at the end of his high school years and he has already planned all his future life: he will attend Julliard and he will be an actor. Lucky Edward comes from a middle class family, and even if his parents are divorced, he has not suffered much from that: he is living with his father, who sustains him in everything, and his estranged mother is traveling somewhere in the world, trying to find herself. Edward has a cheerleader type girlfriend, Kelly, and a one year older female best friend who is already enrolled to the Julliard; among his circle of friends, there is also a nerdy boy his age, the jock who Edward convinced to play the role of Danny Zucco in their high school drama class, and Ziba, the daughter of wealthy Persian refugee, who acts like a Jackie Onassis replica. The strange things of this bunch of friends is that they are not "ordinary", everyone of them is crazy on his own way, and the craziness is allowed since they haven't to worry for the day after: everyone of them is the son of the middle class environment where they live, going to college for them is to prolong the eternal game that is their life.

When Edward's father remarries with an Austrian immigrate who is obviously looking for his money, for the first time Edward is faced with the reality of every ordinary teenager: his father will pay for tuition only if Edward will choose a "straight" (no pun intended) college. At first Edward tries to do the things as a normal teenager, working odd jobs to save for tuition, but 10.000 dollars is not an amount you can save in an year of afternoon job, above all since Edward seems unable to renounce to his hobbies and time with friends. And so the only other option his to steal the money from his father. Again, how they will do it is not the way of ordinary teenagers, but more a real life comedy played by rich kids.

From the sentimental point of view, Edward is also developing his sexuality. He is more drawn from the aesthetic of his possible lovers than from their gender: Edward loves Kelly since she is glamour, he has a crush on Doug since he is the perfect dream date, he is drawn by his English teacher since he represents the forbidden fruit, another way to rebel to his father. Maybe it's a generalization, but I think that Edward is gay since he loves the gay world more than the gays... he loves the glitter and glamour of that world, he loves the freedom he has to go up a table and sing a musical and being cheered and not sneered at.

Ab absurdo, if Edward and all his friends were more ordinary, the obvious solution to Edward's problem would have been simpler than expected... but if it was like that, there would have been this novel, and it would have been a shame, since it's, as expected, a funny and light read, and as I said, being not strictly connected to a gay teen experience, it has a wider breath.

Bottled Up by Andrew Grey

Bottled Up is a full romance, with all the cliche of the good old romance (the hunky cop, the perfect family, the nice neighborhood), and it's also the proof that a man can write romance. Truth be told, it's more than a proof, since Bottled Up is way more romantic than any romance I read lately.

Sean is a nice gay guy. He is the owner of a winery, no apparently money issues, a bunch of good friends, a supporting family and even a boyfriend. Well this last is maybe the only thing not so perfect, since no one of his friends seem to like Ted, his boyfriend. And being Sean so nice and perfect, it's only obvious that, when he saves an homeless teenager kid for a rape attempt in the alley near his business, Sean has no courage to put him again on the street. But Sean suddenly interest and attachment to Bobby would have been strange or worrying, if a bad experience in Sean's past didn't explain his reactions to the event.

From that moment on, the story flows down steadily and with little bumps towards an happily ever after, even the only nasty thing, the bad boyfriend, is soon replaced with the hunky cop of above, Sam, a patrol officer who are trying to catch Sean's interest for months without apparently success. But I have the feeling that Bobby's rescue, other than awakening in Sean fatherly instinct that he even didn't know to have, also unveils some inner trouble that Sean was hiding from friends, family, but even to himself. The Bottled Up of the title is an obvious reference to Sean's business, but also to his attitude towards the world, he has everything bottled up inside himself, and when he decides to let it go, the result can be only one: he will explode like a sparkling wine shook too much, but the explosion can have also a positive side, since now Sean is ready to love again, with all himself, body and mind, and not only with a cool external behavior that didn't reflect the pain he had inside.

Side by side with Sean during his journey from good friend and aloof boyfriend (with Ted, the ex) to perfect father and lover, there is Sam, the quintessence of the Cop Dream Lover; nice, gay, out and proud, Sam has nothing to hide since he has no mean bone. Sometime when you write a character like Sam, you risk to make him nasty since too much good could be too much; but this is not the case with Sam, it's true, he never once fails or does something bad in the book, he is always willing and ready to help Sean and to love Bobby, even if it's clear that he is doing so for Sean's love. Sam probably was not thinking to become a father, but like a perfect man, if the object of his love has a son, there is no doubt that he has to include that son in his affection. No complain for the time they lose since they are not alone, as he doesn't complain when he has to face Sean's past, a past that it's still conditioning Sean's response to sex and relationship. As I said, Sam is perfect.

As I said the story is basically a romance with an happily ever after; true, it deals with delicate matters, but the author manages to not push too much on the angst bottom. More than make you cry, the author chose to make you smile, a warm and quiet smile, since, to respect to the delicate matter, he never even pushed too much on the light bottom.
