I neva knew what I was getting into, seeing the book and peeping the articles has got on my nerves. I'll share it so here's my experience.
It was a dope crib in one of the best neighborhoods near downtown and next to Whitney Young High school (one of the cities best looking H.S. cuties of all races and one of Kells most famous lurking spots b4 the trouble.) I parked across from the school and walked into his home. He had a very nice crib and it was definitely bigger than it looked from the outside.
My cousin was his assistant and “he” Personally gave me a call because my cousin told him of my web skills. He wanted a multimedia designer, something to help him design flyers to go into clubs directly at men to promote safe sex. The prototypes of the flyers were cool with a simple message to beware of: “He has Eyes for you… and HIM” I flipped it over assuming it was just a postcard but to surprise and disgust was a pics of a dude putting on a condom completely naked. I wasn’t trying to see some dude’s shlong. Immediately flipped it back over.
He sat me down and kicked a little game about what he was doing and how I could help him. He instantly said he didn’t know how to approach it so he’d just come out and say it regardless how I feel. He explained his book and the reasons. I was taken aback it was something I didn’t know that went on but the main thing that went through my head was…”How and Why does he know so much about this mess?”
He emphasized how it’s a lot of these thugs out here that keep their image on the low at the same time get into that shit. He brought in a sketch of a dude chillin on a corner wearing nothing more than jeans and Tims. He asked me what is it about him do I noticed the most. I couldn’t tell him. I didn’t want to tell him. I didn’t even want to look at all man it’s a duuuuude! I just told him he got his damn shirt off on the corner. Of course that wasn’t the answer he wanted me to give him. After I told him I give up he said that the main thing that you should’ve noticed is “Dude is packing major dick” This is another prototype that he wanted to put on Tees and promote his web site(s) to get those dudes interested. Man, I couldn’t handle it. I questioned myself and my damn cousin for even referring me to him. After that was over I said shook hands with him and said lata to my cuz.
Now despite my view on the subject I went and decided to go outside the box and make a couple of flyers. I researched gay personal sites, culture magazines articles and gay porn sites. I didn’t like it but I got through it. I emailed him the results and made copies to show him in person. After he saw them he told me I wasn’t what he was looking for; deep inside I sighed relief. I truly felt the same way as he did.
Now the man is Big for this particular subject, going on shows all over and his book has just gone to paperback. I flipped the back and it was then that I realized why he knew so much about this subject.
Thats a area on the low that isnt for me.
