FISH GOTTA SWIM...

and birds gotta fly..."
Man, oh man, on man. Gus Mattox (web site here). Do you know him? You should. It's not THAT unusual for a guy in porn to be sexy (great bod, killer smile, amazing...well F&B). But what's a little more unusual, is how smart and personable he is.

Don't get me wrong, there are lots of super cool, intelligent, crazy/sexy/cool porn stars:

Michael Lucas NO, his lips don't look like that all the time, and YES, they're real. He's actually one of the smartest, coolest, nicest guys I've met in porn so far.
Josh Weston He has a great bod, a sweet soul and it turns out he's a killer writer. What, you don't believe me? Watch out for the April issue of MEN magazine, on our new, signature back page.
Blue Blake...OK, wait.

I could sit here and list all the cool ones, but I was talking about Gus, and I was talking about him for a reason. He's been doing quite a bit of writing for me, in MEN magazine, and now he's got something going with UNZIPPED. Don't quite know what, but the guys from Unzipped are my favorite, and Gus rocks, so it should be awesome.

What really blows me away about Gus is how approachable and funny he is. He just got back from a COLT Studios (Buckshot) shoot with Dean Phoenix (how many covers do I have to put you on, before you say hello?), iPod Miklos and make-belive boyfriend #2, director/PR/marketing guy, Kristofer Weston. (Kris just hooked MEN up with a hot, hot cover for April, so make sure you keep an eye out for it. But the coverguy is m-b b/f #5, so hands off!), Anyway, Gus got home from the shoot, and sent me a bunch of great email, which got shorter, and shorter, and shorter until he finally admitted he was lagged and went to bed. (Alone? He didn't say...)

Anyway, there's just this...warmth surrounding everything he does, and when I checked my work email this morning, I read through his email again, and now I can't stop grinning...

Oh yeah, there was a debate in our office as to whether or not he looks like Cary Grant or somebody. I dunno. He looks like him, which is all he needs.
