smell of our own
In this day
and age social climbers have the extra incentive to keep close to
well-publicized famous people. If they manage play the game just right, end up
in just enough Li-Lo red carpet pics or have a really rich parent, they themselves
can parlay an exploitive well placed friendship into minor b list status or
even a reality T.V. show. This seems to be the fate for Marc Jacobs alleged
boyfriend, Jason Preston or, as he likes to be called on Friendster: Jason
Preston P! Fierce!!!
I’d seen
him a couple times on MJ’s arm for some reason or another, and then two days
ago a red carpet shot of the two of them started circulating in which our
latest climber Jason has ‘Marc Jacobs’ logo tattooed on his forearm (I hope for
his sake it was henna or something…) it looks worse than Meg White in the new
Marc Jacobs ad campaign.
It struck
me as a rather bold if not over confident thing to do for two reasons, What if
Marc finds a cooler climber than you? Or worse still he gets with some other
gay celeb? And what for Jason P himself? What if you find a better richer more
connected meal ticket? Like say Tom Ford? Or Jake Gyllenhal? now your tainted
goods with your Marky Marc tattoo. Also it must be said that the Snofia Copola
set will only be impressed with your ingénue charm for so long, I suggest you
start getting some kind of aesthetic based esoteric education goin on, cause
knowing Marc and Snoff it’s gonna take more than abs and a willingness to
become a personal billboard for staying power, they like to travel and pretend
they’re well bred sophisticates, I suggest you rent Small Time Crooks: Tracy
Ulman is a perfect example of what you can do to better yourself for your
chosen clique.
And let’s
not forget the most obvious; your boyfriend changes his style like minimum
twice a year and sometimes for two different houses, your man appreciates
change, not to mention an occasional complete revamp/overhaul (see Louis
Vuitton last fall mon ami.)
But I will
say this for him, he has met and been photographed with J Lo, it’s on his
friendster page, & that in itself is the embodiment of one of my highest
pursuits. Jason’s trajectory as sleazy as it 
seems does give me some hope that
I may well one day become close personal friends with both J Lo and MK Olsen,
or that Kate will actually meet Mark Ruffalo and impress him so much that they
get married and then she’s wearing henna tattoos to his premiers.
Paris is
burning, and not just from the herpes, (for those who don’t know there are
loads of rumors flying around that Paris has herpes and is trying to keep it
under wraps, Chloe Sevigny says that everything you read is true, so odds are
Paris is not doin to well, but we don’t judge people for STI’s, just for
thinking their better than us) her star is fading quick, she’s getting black
listed and people are just fed up and tired with her no talent all buzz
routine. At least Nicole Ritchie has an eating disorder and an abusive
boyfriend Jimmy Choo 
ad campaign, not to mention that she taught Li-Lo how to
control her gag reflex, she’s good at something, in fact looking at her
skeletal frame one might say she is the best at having bulimia. Do you see
the distinction I’m making? I sure hope that Jason does, climbing is fine,
wanting attention totally understandable, a desire to shmooz the clebes? second
nature in our day. What is important however, what you must have in order to
ensure longevity, is a master plan, a talent or some reason why people want to
see your face, and your face alone, not as the and friend in a Naomi Campbell
pic or some cheddar publicity stunt for your sort of boyfriend.
Jason if
you read this, don’t be hurt, don’t be mad, there’s nothing I can accuse you of
that I am not guilty of myself, except being successful at climbing. Just
remember what the last twenty years and divorce statistics have taught us,
without a legally binding statement of union, or several children to fill you
with guilt, most couples come to an end… you just need to be sure that when
your free ride, I mean relationship comes to an end you will at least be able to
publish a memoir (taking j pegs while you can is a good idea, I also recommend
keeping a journal of all the times you go do lines with Mariah , what kind of
kinko shit Mark likes, a.k.a that Dorothy outfit he designed a couple years ago
and how he makes you be the tin man.) at the very least, or least get the
training you need to tap one of the ladies you’re so fond of posing with, up
for a job as backup dancer.
Good Luck,
BGA
Shit so much for my smug know it all post i just read this as i was trying to find a picture of Preston with the tattoo which is surely henna considering…
the following excerpt is from the New york daily news web site….
"Also sparking chatter was designer Marc Jacobs, who arrived with handsome Jason Preston, whom gay Internet enthusiasts recognized from the escort Web site rentboy.com.
Preston, who partied with Jacobs till 3 a.m. at Bungalow 8, tells us
Nevertheless, he insists that there’s nothing romantic between them. He UPDATE!!! I also wanted to talk about something else from that same page 6 reportage which was an excerpt from their coverage of the V is for Vendetta premier, which I totes wanna see. So apparently one of the siblings behind the writing and direction of V and the Matrix has been undergoing hormone therapy and gender reasignment proceedures since they were working on the matrix. Why? you aks yourself am I writing about this, I guess cause i didn’t know and because broke back was allegedly a breakthrough, and i wanna know who other than the actors who played gay experienced a breakthrough? it certainly wasn’t the transgendered comunity i’m just going to include the editorial and let the readers draw their own conclusions… "V for Vendetta" writer and producer, the former man known as Larry Wachowski,
he’s known the fashion star about three months. "He’s one of the most
amazing people I’ve ever met in my entire life," says Preston.
also says they met at a fashion show, not through rentboy.com. Although
Preston is still listed on the site as "Chris" — along with his cell
phone, intimate personal information and a $225-an-hour price tag — he
says he’s quit the escort business."
Now if this is all true, then all my heart felt appologies to you Jason, evidently you are talented and employed or rather employable… and a job as an escort entitles one to chill with the rich and famous just as much as being a high rolling drug dealer, you do belong.
I double back once again, so the latest: Jason Preston is in fact Jacobs official boyfriend and in this very telling quote from page 6 the dynamic of their relationship is evident: Also there were Marc Jacobs and his boyfriend, Jason Preston. "I don’t normally go out much, but Jason likes to," Jacobs said. "We mostly live in Paris and don’t come to New York often." and all i have to say is i was right the first time… except maybe i didn’t say, i think MJ has a serious ugly complexe which is why he’s so happy to be with a pretty boy who makes no attempt to hide what a climber he is. Marc, you’ re not the best looking guy it’s true, but you’re really talented and hopefully reasonably smart, there are better guys out there for you… or maybe i’m thrice wrong and this Jason character is really a great guy, despite the fact that his friendster profile makes him seem a bit like a self-absorbed dummy.
may be press-shy - but (s)he is definitely not shy of public displays
of affection. The transgender writer/producer/director started the
process of becoming a woman several years ago when he and his more
normal brother, Andy, were making the "Matrix" movies. They’re
now credited simply as "The Wachowskis," to avoid gender confusion.
Larry wore a woman’s pantsuit and makeup - his eyebrows plucked, hair
in a blond blob - to the "V" premiere at the Rose Theater at Time
Warner Center Monday night. On his arm was the woman for whom he left
his wife, dominatrix Karin Winslow. Larry forbid photo or
interviews, but he kissed and cuddled his date. After a visit to the
ladies’ room, Winslow announced to Wachowski, "I’m back, Sweetie!" the no photos thing is odd to me. Oh and for those of you to whom page 6 is new, richard johnson (the contributor responsible for this entry) is an asshole mysogenist, and he’s ugly.
