Sagat, Lucas & Rhodes Penetrate Deeper Into Fashion
April issue of artsy Brit fashion mag i-D features an interview with Francois Sagat where he talks about working for gay-tastic designer Karl Lagerfeld, photographer Mario Testino and French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld (who knew?). They also feature an extensive spread of Francois dressed in weird clothes and doing things I have a hard time explaining:
The March issue of i-D featured Michael Lucas in a feature about Donatella Versace (Get OUT!). They don't really explain why he's pictured, but I'm sure they're friends or something:
Somewhat less glamorous -- but equally impressive, nonetheless -- Erik Rhodes is featured in two full-page ads for Loehmann's running in LA bar rag Frontiers. Last year he appeared on the cover of one of their catalogs and in the in-store displays (click continue to see both of his ads):

Horrible picture of Lucas, and who's the chick? If that's Donatella, she's sure been under the knife.
Boring! Can we debate Oral cum shots from Falcon again? or Gay for Pay porn stars? LOL
Posted by: ChicagoCub at March 28, 2008 6:22 AMDon't even try explaining the Sagat thing. Ever since he left RSS, he's been on this "visual performance art" path. It's odd. It's disturbing. It's French. Just roll with it.

Urgh.
Will:
Heh, that's not Donatella Versace at all. It's a model, I mean not sure who it is but that's def not her! Lol, she should be so lucky!
I'm really liking the direction Sagat is going but I'm not sure if it's new? Isn't he a graphic designer by trade? Didn't he work in Fashion before he went into porn? I guess the direction he is taking is porn not the thing he actually studied or worked @ before porn.
It never ceases to amaze me how we think porn stars just do porn, like ALL the time. They all have day jobs and a lot of them seem to be pretty creative from the looks on their blogs, interviews etc..
I find it interesting and I think it's really cool that they are getting these features as well because I've read in some other gay websites that they are treated with contempt, like they are stupid?! WIERD.

Posted by: joe at March 28, 2008 5:15 PMi love sagat he is such a beautiful man damn i want to meet him one day!

Posted by: Vegas Guy at April 3, 2008 6:34 PMC'mon people! The most surreal, bizarre shoot is Miss Rhodes'! I mean, will Matthew Rush soon be appearing in the latest from TJ Maxx?!?!
I'm all for courting gay dollars, but I never thought it would go this far.
