Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
I actually preformed in Carnegie Hall with my high school city orchestra. So Carnegie Hall is definitely one of my favorite places.
What did you buy using your $100 certificate from Andrew Christian?
I love a good pair of Trophy Boys. You can never have too support when you’re as active as I am.
Being an LGBT ambassador for Stoli is an exciting job. Why do you think you’d be the best at it?
When somebody is on the outside of the LGBT community, they often view the community in stereotypes. I think I’ll be a good ambassador because part of my originality is don’t necessarily fall into those stereotypes.
What’s your advice for anyone looking to become one of The Most Original Stoli Guys in the country?
Being original is about being you and not conforming to what others think you should be. Stay true to yourself.
