Spotted on the ledge at No Parking, the Dominican gay bar in Washington Heights, on Saturday night. Was in a wifebeater, ridiculous roid muscles, def less hot when one realized he was a fashion-loving porn star rather than some random papi.

Aww. Given that he was once so sad, it's nice to see him back in the saddle again. I guess adoring Latino boys will do that to a fella.

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.

He writes on his blog that he is "pretty fucking unhappy," and details, with remarkable candidness (how 'bout that), his depression and escalating drug use. It doesn't appear to be a publicity stunt or a joke. It's just a young man in a downward spiral, reaching out where he can. For me, it serves as a grim reminder that when the lights go down and the cameras have turned away, these people are still there, with all the attendant sadness and anxiety that comes with being a person. Hopefully Rhodes will follow through on some of the life changes he writes about. I don't know. Maybe we should just put on our party hats and pretend we never read this.

In his latest post, about the bestest 26th birthday EVER, he talks about going to Jacobs' fashion show, where he meets celebrities (On Posh Spice: "this bitch needed to get out of my face") and has tons of fun. Then he gets all ooey and gooey about the one-on-one-on-one time he spent with Preston and Jacobs after the show: "I concluded my night with quite diner with Marc and jason. I sware to God, they gave me the best birthday i could have ever asked for. These are the types of people i need in my life." Awwwww! You're melting our heartz, we sware. The Daily News covered the show's after party, and writes that when asked about the affair, Mr. Rhodes replied by simply lifting his shirt and showing his 12-pack-abs. Rhodes denies this on the blog, saying, "Sorry that's not exactly what happened... but it sounds like a good story right. Like i talk by showing my abs and it just happens to mean :'yes daily news, marc and i fuck our brains out'." Heh, um Erik? I'm sure Marc would much prefer a simple shirt lift to the blabbering you're doing now. Like I said, used to be the porn star was seen and not heard. No longer, internet!

Rhodes hints he planned to attend Jacobs' Fashion Week show Monday:

The news just wants drama, come on, why do you think the article was released so perfectly a week before his fashion show here in New York. Drama. People keep asking me, why am i going to the show if there wasn't any secret love affair, Cuz we are just friends!
