Here are some fantastic photos from the Cheesecake Boy Extravaganza by Tommy Feisel at NEW AGE FOTO :        

Me with the fabulous Cheesecake Boy models! I guess I was a little over-dressed for the occasion. (Photo by Chanda Foster) The Cheesecake Boy Extravaganza at Luxboheme was a HUGE success! Thank you to everyone in Columbus who joined us for an amazing night of art, fashion, and many other surprises. I'm starting to get some photos from various guests at the event, so I'll share some here and update with more as they come in. The professional shots should be ready next week. The event sold out, so the room filled up quickly and guests mingled and enjoyed hors d'oeuvres and cocktails while some jumped into the "Pin-Up Yourself" photobooth, benefiting Kaleidoscope Youth Center .   After a brief discussion of my paintings, the fashion show kicked off. I don't have any pics yet from the show itself, but the boys modeled everything from adorable Lifer T-shirts to skimpy robes, culminating in a display of their Baskit underwear (one of our event sponsors). ...

There's nothing better at Christmas than an unexpected package showing up at the door! Both Cheesecake Boys in this heartwarming holiday scene have just such a surprise awaiting them, though in very different forms. And I doubt these boys are going to be able to wait until Christmas morning to unwrap them! This painting is available as a limited-edition giclee print and a greeting card .

My latest Cheesecake Boy painting is a colorful one -- introducing Rainbow Pride Cheesecake!! Limited-edition giclee prints are available in my online store here . This Cheesecake Boy has many reasons to be proud as he marches in the annual Pride parade with his rainbow flag in tow. However, he wasn't expecting to show off the rainbow pattern on his underwear too! As the button on his tight, sexy jeans pops off, his pants begin to plummet. What's a boy to do? With many blocks remaining, he must grab hold of the situation as best he can and march onward -- giving new meaning to the expression "bursting with pride!" "Rainbow Pride Cheesecake" is the official pin-up boy of the Rainbow Awards hosted by Elisa Rolle.

The Cheescake Boy event at Luxboheme is next week, and the Boys are starting to pop up all over! Outlook Columbus :   The Other Paper :   Today I also received a big box of goodies from the underwear company Baskit . They are one of the event sponsors, and the Cheesecake Boy models will be wearing some of Baskit's finest -- like this: Those of you who are near Columbus, I hope to see you there! The event does require advance tickets, and they are $15 at www.columbusisgreat.com .

We spent Saturday afternoon hanging the Cheesecake Boy exhibit at Luxboheme, and I have special behind-the-scenes video footage to share, courtesy of Nancy Smeltzer: Impressive, huh? I think pounding in that nail is the manliest thing I've ever done -- nevermind the fact that my friend Eric had to do the other nineteen! The Luxboheme event is shaping up to be quite an evening of fabulosity. We have a host of sexy Cheesecake Boy models who will be featured in "surprise" fashion shows throughout the evening,  plus a special appearance by nationally-known drag queen Nina West! Space is limited, so reserve your tickets here: ColumbusIsGreat.com . Event details: Thurs., Dec. 2, 2010, 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Luxboheme, 232 N. 3rd St. Enter through barn door on Hickory Alley.

I am working on a new Christmas Cheesecake Boy painting that will also serve as the cover for next year's Christmas anthology from Dreamspinner Press . I'm not good at keeping secrets (which is why it's best for me to buy all of my holiday presents at the last minute!), so I'm going to give you a sneak peek. However, I'm not going to show you the whole image yet -- just a little tease. If you've been good this year, hopefully Santa will let you see the rest soon! :) And if you lean more towards the naughty side, you might enjoy the cover I did for this year's Dreamspinner anthology, Naughty or Nice which is also available as a snazzy little Christmas card in my Etsy store.
