Q&A With Nacer Paul How did you get into photography, and what influences you? Originally I didn’t set out to be a photographer. It just kind of happened. I did some modeling work and designed for many people, for clubs, for different events. I didn’t see photography coming. Capturing the essence of masculinity with urban culture is my style of shooting. My biggest influence to date will have to be Carlos Arias, New York-based fitness photographer,...
ERIC ALÁN
Get Out! ContributorMay 6, 2013
Eric Alán’s trajectory has been anything but uneventful. Growing up gay in a strict Jehovah’s Witness family, Alán had his fair share of turmoil from an early age. Condemned by his parents for his “sinful ways,” he turned to his aunt for solace and guidance. She proved to be his inspiration and who encouraged him to follow his heart and dreams. That dream was music. With unbridled conviction, Alán strove to become independent at an...

Thanks so much for taking the time to chat. Right off, what made you fall in love with music to begin with? Music has been a part of my life since I was really small. My mom still tells the story of how I used to always ‘spin records’ at her house parties when I was only 5 years old, and I couldn’t read the labels on the records but I always knew what songs to play. It’s...

By the time this interview is read, Ivy Winters from this season’s RuPaul Drag Race will have already performed twice at the Bunk House. The amazing thing about Ivy is she is a “real” performer. She makes her own clothes, her makeup is flawless, she eats fire, juggles and can be found on stilts. She is up for Miss Congeniality this year, and she certainly deserves to win. So Ivy, you’re from a small town...

Get Out! ContributorApr 29, 2013
When did the Will Clark Show/Porno Bingo start, and where did you get the idea for it? I had been hired by Micky’s in West Hollywood to revamp and emcee their weekly “Cocktails with the Stars” event in 1999. This was a show with local porn stars talking about themselves and hawking their latest videos. I had a couple stars like Jeff Palmer and Sergio Real sing during the show and really liked the idea...
