Here is the press release ...
The internet's Lifestyle and Fashion scene is about to get a whole lot spicier with the launch of Lucas Fashion, a provocative new blog from porn kingpin Michael Lucas.The launch builds on Lucas's long-standing passion for cosmopolitan style. His zest for the finer threads in life is visible in films like the multi-award winning Dangerous Liaisons, Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita, The Intern, Gigolo, and his latest release, Brothers' Reunion. "There is nothing I would rather do than to take dazzling clothes off a great body," says Lucas.
Publisher Bruno Gmunder, recognizing Lucas' sartorial distinction, is bringing out Michael Lucas' Gigolos in September 2008. Photos in the volume are comparable to layouts in Vogue and GQ, though readers will see much more laid out.
Not limited to clothes and accessories, Lucas Fashion will serve up a fun-loving mix of tips on travel, shopping, culture, personal care and other points of interest for today's fashion-forward readers. "I'll be giving insider updates from fabulous places all over," says Lucas. "It could be watersports on Lake Como, or L'Espadon in the Paris Ritz. Then again, it could be some incredible boutique in the East Village with great buys on jaw-dropping, chic and unique clothes."
Michael Lucas' columns in HX, the New York Blade and on LucasBlog.com leave people expecting the unexpected. That will carry over into Lucas Fashion. "I absolutely will not address politics on this new blog," Lucas promises. "We all know that those pocket squares Hillary used work best as cum rags anyway."
