Justin Gaston, Miley Cyrus’s 20-year-old model boyfriend, has moved into the Cyrus family home so that dad Billy Ray can “keep an eye on him.” But it seems the closeted homo is getting quite the reputation for racy photo spreads. First came a series in the Spring 2009 issue of V Man, a men’s fashion magazine in which he posed straddling a tennis net and grabbing his crotch.
Now he is on the cover of the even more avant garde Electric Youth! magazine, a homoerotic remix of the teen-mag Tiger Beat dedicated to up-and-coming male models. (Although the new issue does also feature a handful of young female models, including Dakota Johnson, the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith and Gaston does look suspiciously younger in the photos.)
Electric Youth! (or EY!), named after the Debbie Gibson hit, is the brainchild of a Madrid-based creative director named Luis Venegas. Each model is interviewed in the style of a teen idol and the text, in contrast to the revealing photos, is positively restrained. Gaston is only referred to as Miley’s “best friend,” for example, and the aspiring musician is allowed a generous plug for his MySpace demo page. Dakota Johnson’s famous parents aren’t even mentioned.
EY! does not have a web site and you won’t find the ad-free mag on news stands. Although it nominally has a US cover price of $18, in reality it is stocked by only a few trendy European boutiques or distributed privately among the fashion media.
AY DIOS MIO! IS THAT REALLY HIM!!! THIS TOTALLY LOOKS LIKE ONE OF THOSE WEHO MAGAZINES!!
