Good Morning, World

I posted so many photos of actor Taylor Zakhar Perez in his underwear on Wednesday I didn't think there could be possibly any more... and then there was more! Just the above shot, but that shot is good enough that it demands a posting. And you know what else it demands? A tag here on the site for Taylor! Actually it's y'all who demanded that in the comments of Wednesday's post, but I agree -- the boy's earned it. See -- I do listen to you! I'm not a dictator! This is a cheerocracy dammit! Anyway the above shot might be the only half-naked one I dug up but I do have a handful more, fully clothed though they might be, so hit the jump...

Good Morning, World

Now here is a sentence I am sure all of you have been dying to hear -- looks like Taylor Zakhar Perez is maaking a sneak attack from behind! I should just leave it there right? You've already fainted. But as you come back to here's my point -- when Red White and Royal Blue came out it felt like Taylor's co-star Nicholas Galitzine was getting most of the press, given he had roles in other buzzy projects (the gay princeling show with Julianne Moore, the wonderful comedy masterpiece that is Bottoms). Meanwhile Taylor hasn't even acted in another project? Which is obviously bullshit -- and forgive me if I side-eye his supposed (if not quite open) queerness as the cause of that nonsense. But that's thorny since he's been quiet on that front (especially given the rumor he's been married to a man for several years now), so I won't wade into that. 

But while Galitzine is off blowing himself up like a hot air balloon for the really doomed seeming He-Man movie, Taylor's spent the last several weeks showcasing his spectacular self for Lacoste underwear (see our previous post here) and I dunno about you but it's sure pushed him to the front of my mind, personally speaking. (And no I still haven't even watched RW&RB haha.) Not that it's a competition between these two actors. But if it were. Taylor's on top! That's all I'm saying! And this new batch of Lacoste photos (for Flaunt) is a firm underline of just that. Hit the jump for them...

Good Morning, World

A big bulging Thirst-day morning bounty of thanks to actor Taylor Zakhar Perez and Lacoste brand underpants for slipping our Red White & Royal Blue star into their briefs as their new brand ambassador -- I love it when brands call their models "brand ambassador" and I long to one day be a "brand ambassador" myself. For what though? Hmm. I could be the brand ambassador for Gap sweatpants maybe. I have spent at least half my life in those. That wouldn't be so bad -- it could be much worse. I certainly don't have Taylor's abs so itty bitty briefs are out of the question but I can rock a pair of sweatpants. If I do say so myself! I don't mean to brag or anything. Ahem. Anyway hit the jump, we have lots more of Taylor's blessed bumps to bounce upon ahead...

Good Morning, World

(click to embiggen) For those of you wondering if I have made time to watch Red White & Royal Blue yet the answer is no, no I have not. But every time I see a picture of Taylor Zakhar Perez -- like the one above, for instance -- my eyes grow hands and these eye-hands then slap me across the face for that oversight. (Bet you didn't think you'd read the phrase "eye-hands" today.) Anyway thanks to Taylor for keeping the flame alive. And for the eye-hands I guess, too. They come in handy! (Oh groan, somebody get the hook.)

Taylor Zakhar Perez Four Times

These old photos of Red White and Royal Blue star Taylor Zakhar Perez have just been brought to my attention and, uhhhh, where the hell have I been? Good lord. And no before you ask I still haven't watched RW&RB -- and no I haven't yet gotten to Fellow Travelers either! I am a flop of a gay man -- a big gay flop. Y'all feel free to drag me out in the town square and pelt me with lavender lilies. But first maybe hit the jump for the rest of these pictures cuz good goddamn, Taylor...

Good Morning, World

No I still haven't watched Prime Video's gay rom-com Red White and Royal Blue yet, so that's why you haven't heard my opinion on it -- I know you've been holding your breath and you should probably stop that. I'll watch it at some point since I probably have to, with my duty as an Official Gay and all (I am a member of the club) but I didn't get assigned to review the thing so I'm taking my time since I'm honestly kind of lightly dreading it.

Anything that I've seen described as "cute" as many times as I've seen this described rings all of my alarm bells, and the trailer for this was indeed excessively "cute." All that said Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez are both hot as the sun and I wanna see them hump each other, so I'll watch the blasted thing at some point - don't worry. Speaking of -- Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez, I mean -- yes, that's why we're here. I have made gifs from one of their nude scenes (possibly the only real nudity? I don't know) in the movie. Hit the jump for Taylor Zakhar Perez bum...

Giving New Meaning To International Relations

I am truly happy that a piece of gay fluff like Red White and Royal Blue exists in the world -- especially in a world that's eradicating our rights right and left. So I don't want to be too down-my-nose snob sneery towards this trailer that they have just released for the sweet, boisterous, pratfall-laden rom-com (based on a bestselling book by Casey McQuiston) about the hot Prince of England (Nicholas Galitzine) and the hot son of the U.S. president (Taylor Zakhar Perez) fucking each other's brains out.

I'm not sure this will be my cuppa, but the boys are cute and Galitzine was just incredibly funny as a clueless jock in the raucous queer high-school comedy Bottoms (reviewed here and also out later this summer) so perhaps it will prove a sweet diversion from a shitty world for a couple of hours. These days that is a lot!

Red White and Royal Blue hits
Amazon Prime on August 11th.

Polo Morín Ten Times

So have any of you read Casey McQuiston’s best-selling novel Red, White and Royal Blue? That's how I keep seeing it described, as a big hit, but I hadn't heard of it until news of a movie-adaptation broke and they cast two hot pieces in the leads -- Nicholas Galitzine will play the British prince (and he's an actor I have posted about here on MNPP before, indeed enough that he's got his own tag here on the site!) while Taylor Zakhar Perez will play the son of the U.S. president that falls in love with him. But then -- and I admit this will sound hella snobby -- this isn't exactly the kind of book I have my ear to the ground for. Looks like a frothy airport read, a beach blanket read, and I just don't read that stuff -- might explain why I'm such a miserable SOB all of the time! Maybe I should spare more time for guilty pleasure garbage and a little less for wallowing in the depressive antics of the German New Wave, I don't know. Wait what were we talking about?

Oh right we were talking about cute boys making out and stuff. And Polo Morín, who I've just become familiar with today thanks to this sweaty summery photoshoot for Attitude Magazine, is a very cute boy indeed. Those eyes! In the movie Polo apparently plays a journalist ex of the President's son -- I'm guessing he's responsible for revealing their relationship? Anyway I recommend also following him on Instagram -- judging by its content I think we are probably creating a little bit of a monster, ego-wise, but I'm old enough not to care. Let the youth be narcissistic monsters, what else have we left them? Anyway I guess I'll keep track of RW&RB now that I've been forced to post about it, so y'all let me know if you care. And hit the jump for some reasons to...
