The Eccentric Pursuit

Nowadays, identifying men who like men from the rest is like separating strands of hay from the haystack. Unless one has a confirmation, such as stereotypes of flamboyancy or actual admission, today’s gay men smoothly blend in with straight men. While the out gay men are happy with their identities, they are able to man-up to their responsibilities. Sometimes, problems arise when the gay man cannot come out and has to resort behind an image that makes it impossible to expose his true self.

Take the case of Well-connected Talent (WT), who has to live with the image his career has imposed on him. WT does not come from a family of artists, nor does he have relatives in showbiz. His connection to showbiz is brought about by relations from influential personalities. Because he opted to break into showbiz, his actions are noticed, although he is not really among the top talents of the network.

Part of his image is to have that well defined body, which makes him a viable performer during male fashion shows. When WT was part of an all-male event, the production crew around him noticed that he could not keep still while he was being made up. He kept looking around, glancing here and there. The room was all sweaty with local and foreign male fashion models sharing the same area. Thus, dressing and undressing were taking place as quickly as the pace of the show.

Prior to his number, he would disappear and was noticed to be moving from cubicle to cubicle. This action was not really peculiar, as the performers were close and know each other. When the event was over, WT was seen entering the cubicle of three top hunk models, of mixed race origins. As these models were dressing up, they removed the underwear that they used during the modeling stint. Neatly, they piled the clothing in one area, and they moved to their own areas.

WT saw an opportunity and moved to pile of underwear. Thinking that no one saw him, WT sniffed the underwear and took them away. When the production people were rounding off the underwear used during the show, they could not find the ones used by the three models. The production people went around and asked if anyone knew what happened to the missing underwear. The only witness to the action of WT decided not to reveal what he saw, as WT would be placed in a very awkward and scandalous situation. This fetish could land him in hot water, as his image is that of a wholesome and straight talent of the network.

An unfortunate thing about this world is that the good habits are much easier to give up than the bad ones. -W. Somerset Maugham
