I have always struggled to see the appeal of the boys of BelAmi. Hot yes, but to me, I struggled to see them beyond a group of similar looking Stepford hunks. Similar bodies with far too many mullet hair cuts and the odd need to all be wearing some sort of choker or chain in their videos. My feelings however recently changed by meeting BelAmi superstar Kevin Warhol.
This post did not actually start out about Kevin. After reading a story about porn star Jett Black being kicked out of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet Academy, possibly due to his ties with the industry, I thought I would pursue him for an interview. Jett's ballet training always played a part in his work as any clip I saw with him always had beautifully extended limbs, toes pointed and in position.
Sadly I never heard back from my attempts to reach Jett, but while waiting I did of course need to pursue further research. That research let me to Cocky Boys who were in the middle of a Porn Haus film festival with director Jake Jaxson adding an artsy flair with hypnotic and dream like new visuals to the medium. Jaxon's latest project was a film entitled Talk To Me which featured Jett, Colby Keller (who I featured HERE:) and Kevin Warhol, who BelAmi graciously shared with the studio.
Talk Me is a visual masterpiece and with Jett and Colby starring you wonder who could possibly compete, but it was the boy with the dragon tattoo, Kevin Warhol who drew most of my attention. As you can see from this first series of images, although Kevin has many of the classic features of a BelAmi model, he also has a beautiful edge highlighted by the dragon predominately featured on his neck. Photographers for adult sites don't usually get much credit, but I loved searching through the images from CB's photographer RJ Sebastian, whose images matched the feel and quality of the film they are promoting.
Kevin drew me in right away, but reading a bit about his back story reeled me all the way in. I am not sure how much is true, or how much is part of promoting his image, but according to the site, Kevin comes from an extremely difficult family background and the dragon, an expression of his tough life experiences. Kevin, was chosen from Macauley Culkin's character from Home Alone. Abandoned by his family he had to fend for himself, tough by caring all the while maintaining a good sense of humour. Kevin has been on his own since the age of 15 and supported himself through his work as he finished school. Getting to know Kevin has given me a new slant on the boys of BelAmi and just might require further investigation.
