ADDICTED USA GETS
THE PARTY STARTED
…WITH ITS STEAMIEST CLUB GEAR EVER
BY CONNOR DAVENPORT
Clubs doors may be closed,
but that isn’t stopping
Addicted from getting the
party started. “No matter
where we are--at the club, the
beach, our friends’ homes, or
even that socially distanced
Zoom gathering--the Addicted
guy is always ready to party,”
explains Addicted USA’s Chris
Lynch.
He says their new clubwear
collection, “Party,” is about
being daring and liberating.
“It’s a collection for the guy
who has the confidence to put
it all out there for everyone
to see. He turns heads when
he enters the room, he knows
every beat as it drops, he
knows how to make every
moment a party.”
The collection features crop
tops, fetish shorts, mesh tanks
and feathers (yes, feathers!) in
bold black, white, silver and
gold colors. There’s also metal,
fur and more.
MODELS:
Enrico Lauritano
Allen King
Ruslan Angelo
Hugo Daniel Silva

Addicted has always been
intended for guys who
are comfortable with their
bodies and are not afraid
to be overtly racy; the Party
collection simply takes it one
step further. “We played
with new technologies and
fabrics and created outfits
unlike any seen before,”
Lynch continues.
All garments in the Party
collection are meticulously
crafted by Addicted’s artisan
team in Barcelona. “As a
men’s fashion label, materials
and craftsmanship are top
priority,” head designer
Carmen Monforte confirms.
“More time is put into the
sewing of each garment so
that they are built to last
through the roughest play.
They are tailored to fit every
body type perfectly.”
Addicted is the sister
line from ES Collection,
the popular athletic wear
company. Since 2009, the
brand has been dedicated
to the design, manufacturing
and sale of men’s underwear,
swimwear, and sportswear.
It was founded by Eduardo
Suner, also the founder
of ES Collection, and has
distinguished itself by
setting trends and pushing
the envelope in stylish, sexy
and wearable men’s fashion.
Addicted’s “Party”
collection is sold directly
at AddictedUSA.com.

BRIAN GIBSON STARS
AS THE YOUNG
HOLLYWOOD BAD BOY
OF ADULT FILM
“I love New York
City,” ruminates Helix
Studios’ brightest new
star, Brian Gibson. “My
first trip to the city
was a few years ago
when I was penniless.
My favorite thing to do
was to sit in a coffee
shop by myself with a
notebook and simply
people watch. It was
inspiring.”
Since making his
debut five months
ago in a solo film on
HelixStudios.net, the
19-year old has made
a splash in the adult
world, winning fans
with his pouty lips, sly
smile, floppy hair and
innocent baby blues.

Brian’s boy next door
looks mixed with his
seemingly disaffected
attitude have been
likened to hunky
Hollywood pinups from
James Dean to River
Phoenix, but he says he’s
not as rebellious as people
assume he is. “When I’m
not filming, you can catch
me doodling or singing in
the shower,” he laughs. He
believes an eventual move
to New York is in the cards,
but for now, Wisconsin is
his home and that’s where
we caught up with him.
How did you find your way into
adult film?
It was all very sudden. I started
webcamming to pay rent, and
the next thing I knew, I was flying
out to Helix Studios in Las Vegas.
Why Helix, specifically?
I was familiar with their films.
The guys are hot and I
thought I would be a
good fit.
Before appearing in adult films,
did you watch them?
Yes! Brandon from SeanCody is
one of my all-time crushes.
INTERVIEW
Hello, Brian. How do you feel
about being called the James
Dean of adult film?
It’s flattering! A little embarrassing,
too, as I’m not very familiar with
his work. When my hair was longer,
I would often be told that I look
like Leonardo DiCaprio, but I
never saw it.
James Dean is best known for
the film Rebel without a Cause.
Would you consider yourself
rebellious?
I think I feel a lot more
rebellious than I actually am.
Joining Helix Studios is
pretty much the most
rebellious thing
I’ve done.

Were you a cool kid growing
up?
No. Growing up, I was such an
oddball. I attended private,
religious schools my entire
educational career. It was a
strange environment for a queer
kid to grow up in. I think people
thought I might have a couple of
screws loose, but I never cared. I
was definitely a target for bullying,
though.
Would friends from home be
shocked to know what you do
today?
Word spreads fast, so I’m sure
many people know and are
shocked, but I honestly don’t keep
up with many of them. Today, I’m
so grateful to have open minded
people around me.
Where do you call home these
days?
I’m still living in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, where I was born and
raised, but I’m on my own, living
with roommates.
What is like to be a young, gay
guy in the age of COVID?
There isn’t too much going on
at the moment. Pride was always
something I looked forward to and
this summer has felt a little empty
without it, but I’m managing to
have some fun.
What do you do for fun?
I’m pretty creative, so I’m always
doing something different. I like to
always have little projects
going on, to keep
me motivated.
What would your fans be most
surprised to learn about you?
I didn’t lose my virginity until I was
18. I was a late bloomer.
Which of your films are you most
proud of?
We just filmed a fun double
penetration scene and I feel like
a real badass now. Like I have
earned a bit of bragging rights
(laughing).

Do you have a bff
at Helix?
I don’t have a best
friend, but I will say
that Alex Riley is the
most fun, energetic
person you’ll ever
meet. I don’t see
the guys as much
as I wish I did. It’s
always really fun
when I do and easy
to pick up where we
left off.
Who would you like
to have a scene with?
My lips are sealed! But I will
admit that I’d rather film with
someone down to earth than
someone mega-hot.
Will you stay in adult film or
is Helix a step to something
else?
I can definitely see porn leading
me to other things. I’d love to
have my own business in the
future, but for now, I like having
the flexibility and freedom.
Do you have a special
message for your fans this
Fall?
Just be true to yourself and live
authentically. It’s worked so far
for me!

Simple Summer
A collection of essays from quarantine
May 25th was the day that George Floyd was
murdered.
The video, captured by 17-year-old Darnella
Frazier, quickly went viral, and the world
watched. Police pinned him to the ground
while arresting him for an alleged fake $20
bill: you can hear him say “I can’t breathe”
repeatedly, and then he didn’t say anything
ever again. The next day, the protests
began.
We all watched Minneapolis protest that
night. I called a friend of mine who had
recently lost her job at the Guthrie Theater
due to Covid-19, applying to work at Target
to make ends meet. After a Target was
broken into and destroyed, her location
temporarily shut down and she was without
work again.
“I’m going to Iowa to stay with my family
for a while,” she told me. “The National
Guard is parked just down the street from
my apartment.” The National Guard had
mobilized in Minnesota on May 28, just three
days after George Floyd died.
When the protests made their way to New
York City, my roommate and boyfriend were
ready to hit the streets. I’m not proud of this,
but I have to admit that I was tentative about
going.
I’d seen the videos of protests—online, that
is. The news didn’t seem to be showing a
lot of what I was seeing online. If you have
the Internet, you’ve seen them—clips of
police pulling down a man’s mask to pepper
spray him; police pushing an elderly man
to the ground and leaving him as he bled
from the ear; a police car driving into a
group of protestors. That video actually
did make the news—I watched it on every
station, the police car driving up to a barrier
of protestors, and then....the clip stopped.
Not a single news station showed the whole
clip, not a single news station showed the
car driving into protestors. The clip of the
elderly man did end up making the news,
too—perhaps, I wondered, because it was a
white man who was the victim.
I was scared to go out. I was afraid of the
burning buildings and “looting, looting,
looting” that the news focused on. I was
afraid of experiencing police violence
firsthand. I was afraid of marching with a
large group of strangers during a pandemic.
The day came when my roommate said,
“Okay, let’s go.” I helped my boyfriend pack
a backpack with a first aid kit, sunscreen,
extra face masks, and lots of water. It wasn’t
until he was tying his shoes that I stood up
and said, “Wait, I’m coming too.”
I was still afraid of everything, but not
enough to stop me from standing up for
what I felt was right: justice for George
Floyd, holding the police accountable for
their actions, and fixing the systematic
racism that has existed forever.
How many times had something similar
happened, but no one was taping? How
many times had this happened and it was
taped, but just didn’t go viral? George Floyd
wasn’t the only name on our lips: Sandra
Bland, Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain. The
list of names doesn’t end, it goes on. And
on. And on.
We walked down to Harlem, 125th Street,
where protestors gathered and stepped off
on the hour. My roommate, boyfriend and
I stayed close together and waited for the
hour to strike.

“My mother marched for this,” my
roommate said, quietly. “My grandmother
marched for this. How long are we going to
keep marching?” I didn’t know what to say.
Once we were marching through the
streets, I started to relax. Every single
person marching was wearing a mask--
though, when we marched past the precinct
on Frederick Douglass Boulevard, not a
single police officer had one on. In the
protests I’ve attended since, I’ve never seen
anyone from the NYPD wearing a mask.
They won’t cover their noses and mouths—
only their badge numbers.
Before we agreed to head home, an elderly
African American man came up to me and
said, “Thank you for being here.” I nodded,
but I was upset at myself for not showing up
until that day.
Another confession that I’m not proud of:
This was the first protest I’d ever attended.
While I supported many other protests, I’d
never actually shown up. I’d never pushed
myself to make a difference further than a
Facebook post or popular hashtag.
In a way, I was now trying to make up
for lost time. My Facebook wall became
entirely Black Lives Matter. I made an effort
to only post videos, not articles, because
you cannot argue with videos. Articles are
bound to elicit preference, one way or the
other. A person can argue, “Well, that’s
what they say happened,” and I didn’t want
any of that. You cannot argue with a video.
You cannot say the police did not pull down
a man’s mask to pepper spray him in the
face. You cannot say the police did not push
an elderly man to the ground, leaving him
to bleed. You cannot say the police did
not drive an NYPD vehicle into a group of
protestors.
It’s funny the things we remember from
our childhood, the things that stick with
us. I remember car rides with my dad, who
got me on the weekends after my parent’s
divorce. It was an hour drive from my mom’s
house in Knoxville to his house in Norwalk,
and we’d listen to music the whole ride.
My dad has a very eclectic taste in music.
One day, when I was seven or eight, we
listened to Tracy Chapman, an artist I
wouldn’t appreciate until I was in high
school. I remember looking at the album
cover and saying, “She looks like a boy.”
My dad stopped the car and looked me
right in the eye. “Tracy Chapman is a
beautiful woman and musician,” he said. “I
won’t listen to any of that.” We were silent
the rest of the way, and I knew I’d fucked
up.
That memory came to me
while marching. Was my dad
upset because it sounded like
I was being a bully, or did it
go deeper than that? Did he
hear racism, something he
and my mom both taught me
against my entire life? A racism
I learned from elsewhere, a
racism I didn’t know existed in
me?
In high school, I listened to
Tracy’s “Give Me One Reason”
and “Fast Car” on repeat.
Now, I listen to everything, like
“Talkin’ ‘Bout A Revolution”
and “Telling Stories” and
“Bang Bang Bang.”

“Thank you for being here,”
the elderly man said to me. I
want to remember that, to let
it serve as a reminder to keep
showing up.
