Trendy Wendy fashion designer Marc Jacobs escorted yet another new gentleman friend to last night's Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Gala, though no one really seems sure who he is. He could be another MySpace find, or some aspiring hanger-on who stumbled into one of the stores one day. Or he could just be a nice fellow who Marc met at the library and they like to take walks along the river and talk about Lorrie Moore books. (Though that's not, um, likely). What a revolving door this man has! Keeping all the hookers, porn stars, and Mensa members straight (heh) can be difficult. If you need a little help, we've provided some clarification (in list form, natch) after the jump.
This all starts roughly in early 2006, and continues through to today.
Jason Preston
- A former "rent-boy," Preston famously tatooed the Marc Jacobs logo on his arm.
- The pair kept breaking up.
- And getting back together.
- Then getting engaged.
- Then breaking up again (for good?).
- Meanwhile, they were having dirty, dirty threesomes with...
Erik Rhodes- Emerging in Jacobs' life early this year, he is kind of dumb, but likes to fuck. He does porn! And used to be a hooker too!
- But, oh no, he is sad.
- Rhodes is kicked to the curb at some point, probably because he left to play Moose Mason in an Archie On Ice show or something. Enter:
Austin A.- A mysterious fellow, he had lots of MySpace anger.
- He was able to define "Boy Toy" for the rest of us idiots.
- And he almost got in a fight with poor, rejected Jason.
- Somewhere along the line he seems to have disappeared, making room for this new fellow.
Phew! That is a lot. And I am sure there is much, much more.Image via Bauer-Griffin.

Who cares about his boy toys...is he wearing a black belt and brown shoes? Are we to understand that this is now acceptable?
@kjack: Oops! Picture switched. But, yes, I believe he was.
@kjack: You are still sadly stuck in that "no white shoes after Labor Day" mentality. Shoes and belts (and bags) haven't had to match for several years now. They just shouldn't clash. All clear on that?
Sorry, I might enjoy the SATC movie and frutini with my gurls, but I draw the line at man clutch bags.
Of all of the Marcsmen, I think I like "Erik Rhodes" the best. There is something sweet about a guy who is willing to get donkey punched for money but opens up emotionally on his blog for free.
This dude looks like Marc Anthony, if Marc Anthony were tall and not undead.
(So, erm, "alive," I guess. If you wanna get all technical and shit.)
@bytememehard: Says Patricia Hearst as the juror in white shoes: The rules of fashion have changed!
that is quite the hairdo new-guy is trying out.
also, i think that is my cousin. the one is sold fake rolexes and never got invited to family dinners. i'm glad to see he is making a way for himslef
I'm sorry, is that Marc Anthony back when he thought that having a bit of flesh underneath his skin was attractive? Or is that his taller gay brother? Inquiring minds want to know.
@DorothyMantooth: But SERIOUSLY!!!!
@DorothyMantooth: He looks a bit meth face-y too.
@bytememehard: noted. I can't wait to go home and re-evaluate my wardrobe.
@CaptainHangNail: And as Beverly Sutphin replied, "No. They haven't." ...WHACK!
What? Kathleen Turner said that, not Beverly Sutphin.
Three?? That's alot? I've had more dates on a Friday night.
@HamptonShmampton: Well, you aren't a bajillionaire hack who has to watch out for parasites, are you?
@winniemc: Kathleen Turner = Beverly Sutphin
@HamptonShmampton: Have to agree. In 2008, I've dated ten people at least.
@bytememehard: @kjack: I too had no idea that this was acceptable. My dog ate my black belt about 6 months ago, so I just haven't worn black shoes since then. There's something so wrong-feeling about a brown belt and black shoes.
@DorothyMantooth: Ooooh good call, I thought he looked like him too, just without the look of a half starved refugee. (on heroin)
@Priam: I AM a social parasite actually...
@bourgeoisie: what about a black belt and white sneakers?
@HamptonShmampton: I don't see a problem with that...sneakers go with everything don't they? I sure as hell hope so because I've been wearing my black/grey/red Sauconys a lot due to the lack of black belt. And the fact that I work in a construction office so I can pretty much wear what I want as long as there's a collar on the top half of me (polo/button down).
hooker.
@rod: "Dated" is not the same thing as "been inside".
@scarletmenace: I'm thinking Lucas Entertainment, actually.
I'm all for it. Go Marc! Why shouldn't he just literally have it all?
@bourgeoisie: What kind of collar?
I'm glad I'm not the only one that has a somewhat unhealthy obsession with Marc Jacobs.
Thanks Gawker, for making me feel better about myself. You're aces.
i beg to differ with the revolving door remark. marc jacobs dates, has relationships, wants to be loved, just like the rest of us. as a good friend of his "new gentleman friend" i can assure you this one is gainfully employed (has his own career unrelated to fashion), warm hearted (such a lovely, generous spirit), and emotionally grounded (not one for the spotlight). in fact, the two have known each other for some time now. let's be happy for them both!
