The November Baby Boy——"le magazine gay, gratuit, chic et urbain"—is a special edition on French black gay culture, which, like its American cousins, is often overlooked by mainstream gay media and the general population.
There are articles on culture, fashion, music and sexuality. Ernest Collins, the top Parisien black (and gay) photopgrapher, is represented here with a fabulous editorial of Johann (above), who is described as French and Chadian. Speaking of Chad——the person, not the nation——there is also an article and pictures of Chad White, supermodel and official boyfriend-to-be of Rod 2.0.
Speaking of this site ... a couple of months ago, you'll recall that we were profiled in Baby Boy. This month we have an article in the magazine on black gay men and our wonderful obession with divas. If you can read French, bon apetit. If not, there should be more than enough to catch your eye.

I used to go to Ernest Collins shop on Oak St in Chicago. Those were fun days. His staff was a "trip". I always enjoyed the atmosphere there. Celebs galore.
ah the good ole days.
Glad to know he's doing well in Photography too. Because the brotha can lay some hair back in the day.

Kevin, I've mentioned before that during my high school years, I used to go to Ernest's Oak Street salon. Oh, those wee wonderful days. Remember his sister who used to be the receptionist?

That magazine is laid out so well I download it every month; even though I can't read 80% of it!
