We’ve reached a dangerous new low in peddling male flesh. So desperate are we for shirtless male celebrities, and so curious are we in Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming male stripper flick “Magic Mike,” that we’re posting a trailer for the trailer, which actually premieres tomorrow. OMG. Yes, we actually are anticipating the premiere of a trailer.
Given the number of boys with names like Pyotr and Slava we’ve spotted in the gay porn circuit over the years, it’s hard to believe that male strippers are a new phenomenon in the former Soviet Union. But that’s the case made by this eye-opening short documentary, which explores the current confluence of gender, economics, and tearaway Tarzan outfits in Russia today. The clip might look at the allure of a group of male strippers from the perspective of their female manager, but the message conveyed is still a universal one: as Nastya says, isn’t it always nice to be next to such lovely bodies no matter who you are?
