Man Candy Day: Caesar and Nemesis Twins

Since [personal profile] jaye_valentine was particularly happy to see my post on the Guedes Twins, I thought to bring out of the stable two pair of twins that were waiting the right occasion to be posted. The first pair, the Caesar Twins, are still in activity, they are performers and works mostly in Europe. The second pair, the Nemesis Twins, came out in 2005-2006 in an American television show; I didn't follow their career, and apparently now they are no more in activity.

The Caesar Twins are a theatrical-gymnastics team made up of Pierre Caesar and Pablo Caesar. Their abilities and show have been compared with the high level of Cirque Du Soleil performances. Pierre and Pablo are real twins born in 1980 in Poland. The brothers studied gymnastics in their youth, and at age 17 became Youth World Champions in acrobatic sports. At 18, they started performing in a modern German circus.



















In 2002, while performing an act called "Wheel of Death", Pablo fell 16 meters to the floor. As reported by newspapers at the time, some people in the audience at first thought the fall was part of the act. In reality, Pablo was severely injured and required extensive surgery and months of rehabilitation. He persevered with his brother as training partner, and together they brought Pablo back into gymnastic fitness, rebuilding his muscles and coordination.

In 2004, the Twins starred in the cabaret La Clique, at which they officially premiered their renewed twin act. They went on to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe that year, where they returned in 2005, selling out their entire run, and again in 2006, featuring a dual twin show with the Lombard Twins.

The duo's self-titled show runs to about 90 minutes, offering an entertaining combination of aerial and ground gymnastics, tricking the audience, especially as to which twin is which, and telling their own life stories, including Pablo’s 2002 fall and rebirth through recovery. The show ends with a unique routine, in which the two brothers do a gymnastics routine in and around a large, clear acrylic glass bowl onstage, symbolically representing their ongoing journey together, which began in utero in the "salt bath" of their mother’s womb.

The brothers are 1.63 m (5 feet 4 inches) tall, with blond hair. They have twin tattoos, of a puma, encircling one biceps, with Pablo’s on his right arm and Pierre’s on his left to form mirror images in their act. The Twins openly play with sexuality and sex appeal in their show. Although both are straight, they happily acknowledge a large gay following, have performed at a variety of AIDS benefits, and profess a desire for tolerance of gays and other minorities.

The Caesar Twins have played throughout Europe and in Australia. Their appearances in Great Britain have included the Royal Variety Show, Edinburgh Festival Fringe, London’s Comedy Theatre, and Brighton Festival Fringe. Until spring 2009, they will perform during a Jamie Oliver theatre/meal show in Frankfurt, Germany.

Nemesis is an openly gay pop music duo consisting of the identical twin brothers Jacob and Joshua Miller. The pair can be differentiated by their hair colors; Jacob is blond, while Joshua's hair is brown. Joshua is also a few minutes older than Jacob. They were raised as Jehovah's Witnesses in Kalispell, Montana but have since left the religion. They were excommunicated after coming out. The journey of the duo can be seen on the Logo television network reality series entitled Jacob and Joshua: Nemesis Rising. The show premiered on October 16, 2006.



















Nemesis has been signed with Curb Records since 2001. The duo released the EP Let Me Help You Out in 2005. Number One in Heaven, the first single from the album Rise Up, was released in September 2006 and was quickly followed by Rise Up in October to coincide with the premiere of the reality show. The music video for Number One in Heaven could be seen on the Click List Music program of Logo. It also aired on MTV Hits, which, like Logo, is owned by MTV Networks.

I watched the short reality series about the Nemesis Twins. They are definitely hotties. The brunet had a long-time boyfriend, I wonder if they're still together.

Elisa! I love the variety of posts that you do - especially your art ones and ones that profile a variety of artists. I like how you give a little bio or interesting tidbit about their lives as well.
The Ceasar Twins are fascinating! I went over to Youtube to watch a few of their performances and they are magnificent! Image #2 is so pretty and I like the 'aged and retrospective' feel of image #8.
Thanks for the introduction to these talented men!
