Leave it to Queerty.com to post an entire album of his MySpace photos.



Remember, kids: Once you post it anywhere online, it's just a matter of time before your mom is gonna see it.

And that goes for pics your friends post of you on THEIR pages.

Egads, I hope everyone he knows was aware of his profession. If not they do now!

I loved his work in PERSONAL BEST.

Yeah, that hair is very dated, but the kid is helping bring down one of the major homophobes in America. More power to him.

I wonder how long it will take before he gets raked over the coals from his fellow colleagues about client confidentiality. I remember the backlash against Mike Jones during the Ted Haggard scandal.

"Lucien" is hot!

Meh. Not my type AT ALL.

Well, Mike Jones took it upon himself to bring Haggard's story out into the open. This kid kept his mouth shut until he found out what scum Rekers really is.

Just for the record, I fully support Ms. Hemmingway in her coming forward!

And I support sex workers who choose such line of work.

Well, duh. Those Disney trips don't just pay for themselves.

...or do they?

I knew Mike Jones. He actually waited for a while before he said anything. That was a big question, as to why he waited. I have posted before that his timimg really sucked here in Denver. At the time there was another scandal going on and Jones pretty much cost us a gay measure that was on the ballot that year. He "thought" he would be supported by the gay community here but it backfired. he did some local interviews and his facts were conflicting which made some people skeptical. I actually approached him at JR's here and chewed him out. He got so many nasty looks that evening that he left the bar. He was working it for the money and said as much to me that evening. I called him on showing up at the opening of Little Dog Laughed. He never went to the theater here in Denver. He was actually a really nice guy and VERY quiet. Although he exposed Haggard, he made enemies within the gay community. He used to live right around the corner from me in my old building but I think he has left the state. We don't see him around.

I think he actually looks fine with his goofy 80's haircut and his $3 t-shirt wardrobe. I bet he finds a lot of guys want someone who looks like the kid you see hanging out in front of Subway.

He has a sort of sweet face, but exactly ONE facial expression.

[PalJoey]

Posted: 5/6/10 at 4:49pm

For another fifty, he'll throw in a second expression.

Matt, I am on the floor laughing. I didn't read your post before I posted.

[Mister Matt]

Which is why he is not America's Next Top Model.

Dreckitude.

The hair, the glasses, the name...is he gay AND European?

[Reginald Tresilian]

Posted: 5/6/10 at 8:37pm

Well, the spelling Jo-Vanni doesn't exactly scream European authenticity.

It's kind of a Sylvan Learning Center sort of spelling approach. Or something from an Epcot Center training manual.

I just don't think he's quite hot enough to ruin ones reputation over. Not to mention the thousands of dollars spent on a week in Bermuda with a bag boy with benefits.

How does one become a rent boy? Is there an application and an interview process? Is there some kind of examination?

"How does one become a rent boy? Is there an application and an interview process? Is there some kind of examination?"

How well can you handle luggage?

But seriously, it looks like all you have to do is go to the website (extremely NSFW) and sign up. There might be some credit card validation involved, but other than that I assume it's free and kinda looks like signing up for Broadway World. Make sure to smile for the camera!

JoeMyGod's 3 AM phone interview last night with Jo-Vanni:


My Interview With Jo-Vanni Roman

[PalJoey]

Posted: 5/7/10 at 9:38am

Fascinating.

Since the story broke on Tuesday, we've all seen George Rekers' increasingly desperate attempts to deny the sexual aspect of their trip or that he even met Jo-Vanni on Rentboy.com in the first place. They've spoken on the phone once since then, during which Jo-Vanni angrily confronted Rekers about his anti-gay work with the Family Research Council. "I just stay in the background" was Rekers' limp defense. The call ended with Rekers begging Jo-Vanni to refuse future interview requests.

After covering every aspect of his time with Rekers that I could think of, I wanted to know if Jo-Vanni now got exactly who he is. I asked him, "You DO understand just what an incredible monster George IS, right? The horrible things he's said in court about gay people? That he's personally responsible for ripping apart gay families?" I wanted to disabuse Jo-Vanni of what seemed to be fleeting moments of odd affection for the man who'd been such an agreeable travel companion. "Oh, yes. I get it, I really do. He's like way worse than the orange grove lady." The orange grove lady. I'm afraid I went a little Professor Homo at that point and gave Jo-Vanni a three-minute primer on Anita Bryant.

But that "orange grove lady" moment sort of crystallizes who Jo-Vanni is, I think. He's clearly a sharp kid, but there's a plaintive naivete to him.

Reg, maybe his mom was a big fan of The Facts of Life, and his dad was a big fan of Wheel of Fortune, and that name was their compromise?

At any rate, good for this kid for speaking out. I hope someone has stepped forward to help him handle this media attention though.
