Man Candy Day: Twins
Feb. 8th, 2010 10:09 amI prepared this post weeks ago thinking at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jaye_valentine (yes, Jaye, you now are paired in my mind with twins and co.!). And now there is a reason more to post, I think Jaye lives in the New England area, so I don't know if he is near Connecticut or not, but I hope he and his partner are safe and sound. Going back to twins... It's not the first time that fashion plays with the twin imaginery, I already posted about Ricardo & Pedro Guedes, but now, more than ever, they are also playing with the "kinky" factor. BTW, how is it that fashion twins are almost always from Portugal and Spain? Is there in those country a concentration of handsome couplets? First of all, let me introduce you to Jonathan and Kevin Ferreira de Sampaio.

( Jonathan and Kevin Ferreira de Sampaio by Fabio Costi )
As for th Guedes Twins, they are from Portugal, and as for the previous couplets, where Ricardo remained in the fashion world while Pedro soon retired, I think that Jonathan is the twin who wants to pursue a fashion career and instead Kevin is tagging alone for brotherhood love. 23-year-old, Jonathan and Kevin Ferreira de Sampaio, former physical education students, were spotted at university two years ago by a fashion talent scout and hired by Dolce & Gabbana in 2007.
The pair, who have never looked back since, epitomise the new boy on the catwalks, not the big beefcake type but a man with some muscles and a physique, unlike the chicken-chested undernourished sexually-ambivalent figure all the rage in the early 2000s. "We plan to go back to university soon but for now have work," said one of the brothers, paid anything from a minimum 500 euros (700 dollars) to several thousand for a show, which is way less than women models.
Of the two models, Kevin is the more reserved and emotional. Jonathan is outgoing and even more cautious. It is he who speaks most of the time. Jonathan wanted to be an astronaut, Kevin dreamed of being a magician. However, it was without tricks that they come into fashion, and it has been with their feet firmly on the ground that they have managed a fast and successful career, which has already gained them a Globo de Ouro (Golden Globe, Portugal Fashion Award). A career which neither of them has never dreamed of. Jonathan and Kevin, 23, are children of Portuguese parents, born in Paris and moved in Portugal when they were five years old, more precisely to Felgueiras, a small town where everyone knows each other. They had never thought to go out of there. Moreover, when they started to study Physical Education in Porto, they asked to be transferred in Felgueiras because they did not live in the bustle of a big city. Irony of fate, they soon left for Milan, and there their career began.
Jonathan and Kevin Sampaio were 17 when they were discovered by Central Models. They won the Pantene Hair Contest, but they ventured into the fashion world only at 20. The twins took a vacation to experience an Italian catwalk, a debut for Dolce & Gabbana. The aim was to stay two weeks, and instead they returned only three months and a half later. In Portugal, Dino Alves was the first designer for whom they marched. They flew to Paris, where they spend much of the time for the following two years. In the French capital, they signed an exclusive contract with Dior for a season of catwalks. Versace, Giorgio Armani, Vivienne Westwood, John Galliano, Jean Paul Gaultier and Yves Saint Laurent are on the list of international designers for whom the twins have borrowed their image.

Even more than in the above pictures, Bruce Weber plays with the twincest kink in the editorial he did with a new couple of twins in the fashion industry, Juan and Cesar Hortoneda.

( Juan and Cesar Hortoneda by Bruce Weber )
The twins of Madrid are 25 years old and statuesque physique, cultivating with any type of sport, practiced also at a professional level: tennis, volleyball, swimming, boxing, other than an engagement in two varsity basketball team. They go on roller skates, but just for fun.
Juan attends the Police Academy and Cesar a School of Mechanical Engineering, but they still have time for fun. House, rock and raggaeton: the twins love music and dancing. And bonfires on the beach with friends.
My last couplet, Toni and Niklas Garrn, are not twins, but they are nevertheless very much alike, so much that, even if they are a girl and a boy, it's quite difficult to part one from the other.
( Toni and Niklas Garrn )
Gender is on the mind of the editors of Tush. Toni Garrn and her brother, Niklas play both sides of the beauty ideal on multiple covers. While Toni is known for her modeling, Niklas is a relatively new face on the scene in spite of the fact that he’s two years older than Toni.

In the first book of the Refuge Shifters series, Carol Lynne sets the basis for the development of the entire story. She borrows the ancient legends that see shifters as favourite sons of Mother Nature and descendants of the old Native Americans; she also continues in the myth that homosexuals are the favourites among the favourites since Mother Nature gave them two spirits, so to be able to understand the needs of their people. The consequence is that, having more female genes than a normal man, the men who are destined to lead the shifter people are not “manly” men, they are small and fragile, almost feminine.
