BOYS WILL BE BOYS
I live in Manukau City, South of Auckland; New Zealand. We have the densest pacific island population of any country in the world. The given is that meeting other like minded queers like yourself is easy, since geographically we’re all in the same city. You would think it were that simple. The Polynesian Princes of south Auckland are as closeted as the gays in the NRL. They have refined their visibility to a passing fragrance of I WANNA FUCK YOU BUT I”M WITH HER. The problem with this metaphor is that it reeks of homos in south Auckland but these men have succeeded in making themselves invisible.
So therein lays the problem of trying to engage and understand a type of man that exists only in theory. I imagine this type of man as wanting to express his sexual fluidity and attraction to the same sex however being stunted by his contradicting physicality, one of which is typically hetronormative and in gender specific terms what is appropriate for him to conform to i.e. “I am built in the manner of a man that is only biologically compatible with a significant other of the opposite sex”. This belief system is made a mantra that affirms a masculine stereotype and a gender ideal that is perpetuated, driven and motivated both sociologically and politically by a western heterosexual statuesque and moral majority.

//LOOKING FOR MODELS//
JERRY needs your help with a tight spot. I'm looking for male models between the ages of 18 and 35 for an artwork to be created in mid November of this year. A full casting brief is at the ready for anyone interested in striking a pose for the camera. The criteria is pretty open. Must be....
- Male
- Between the ages of 18 and 35
- Samoan or Polynesian
- Gay or Bisexual
- From Auckland or Manukau City
Sure, there's more to it than the top criteria, some performing and a little acting involved but nothing X rated. This a professional and legitimate art project, only genuine candidates need apply. There is remuneration and the opportunity to work within a creative and dynamic environment. This post is hella vague but if your even slightly interested or have questions then don't hesitate. Send through an email to the address below with your name and contact details.
