It’s Not Porn, It’s ART

Dolce and Gabbana: “Hey, we’ve got this idea, like, can you basically print us a book of dudes we wanna rough n’ tumble with, err, either in the nip or wearing our smalls?”

Rizzoli: “Sure thing!”

Sigh. It must be nice know you can speed dial the world’s greatest coffee table tome publishers and have them generate, fundamentally, your innermost personal wank fantasy in print. That’s what Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have done, the lucky, lucky gays. Dolce & Gabbana Uomini is a ‘celebration of men’ or what we prefer to call, ‘a gratuitous but very welcome and by no means tasteless flesh-fest.’ Shot by Mariano Vivanco, buff tings ripple and pose on every monochrome page; cover star André Ziehe is joined by A.J. Abualrub, Clint Mauro, Tom Warren, and a pile of other criminally polished and honed specimens.

And the motives for the horny Sicilian duo’s indulgent, vanity project of a book? Well we can only fathom that they gotta find some way to cheer themselves up over their, cough, taxeveasionscandal, cough. Either way, there ain’t nuthin’ like a little perving-for-the-sake-of-altruism: the proceeds of the book will go towards, "a digitization initiative undertaken by EUPLOOS to put the Uffizi Gallery’s prints and drawings online to create a complete, accessible computerized catalogue," according to the Ford Models blog.
