Marc Jacobs and his Rentboy Companion

[ShoeLady]

I miss the uglier, chubbier Marc. All this getting laid is making him look like every other gay boy who lives in Chelsea.

Oh boy...

Designer Marc Jacobs to "Wed" Boyfriend Jason Preston?

Ben Widdicombe reports in his New York Daily News Gatecrasher column:

"A tipster who was at the Chelsea gentlemen's bar Barracuda on Saturday night ran into the designer's on-again boyfriend, former hustler Jason Preston. He was 'flashing a Cartier ring to his friends, telling everyone he was engaged,' says the snitch. 'Then out of nowhere Marc popped up, and they were all over each other, kissing and saying 'I love you.'' Neither Preston nor Jacobs responded to inquiries yesterday about the Cartier band. Though I hear the pre-nup is from Tiffany."
The reunion would seem to contradict Jacobs' recent remarks to OUT magazine:
"I had a relationship with him, and it was crazy, and sometimes it was a lot of fun, and sometimes it was not a lot of fun, and the biggest frustration was that I wanted him to be something he wasn't, and I don't mean on a social level, and I don't mean about his past or anything like that - I just mean that I wanted to come home and have somebody be available and have conversations and just to be there. And Jason is a young guy who wanted to go out and party and do his thing, and it just wasn't there. I don't think there was any chemistry - it's just that we both do enjoy each other's company on occasion. We're better off as friends."

A Cartier ring!? Man, is this turning into a "Pretty Woman story"?

Marc jacobs is gross lately. I agree with people who say they miss the Nerdier, old Marc. But then again, I never liked him much anyway. His marketing of "grunge" fashion shall never be forgiven in my eyes. He's so far from that, he wishes he were "grunge"

I don't think it's fair to refer to Marc's friend as "his Rentboy Companion", somehow.

I miss the Marc that would come out after his show and look like some greedy ugly man who wasn't invited to the show.

Indeed. He has a name, even though all he's known for is being a former rentie.

i love the title of this thread, and there's nothing wrong with having a younger, stupider, hotter boyfriend than you yourself are.

makes life easy sometimes and you get laid regularly! not such great conversationalists at dinner parties though...

 

[emma peel]

oh and if you're lucky they tattoo your name to their forehead.

Marc Jacobs is getting pretty used to posing shirtless for magazines this year: he did it for Out in September, and now again for the latest issue of Arena Homme +, shot by his partner in crime Juergen Teller.

i Marc so much! And i envy Jason so much!

 

[James1057]

i was just looking at some of his million and millions of pics on Jasons myspace page and hes sucha spoilt brat whos using Marc to get fame and money. I HATE this kid i want to smack him. Marc can do SO SO SO much better !

*UPDATE*
one of the pics is from his trip to London and theres a naked guy with just a towel oppening champagne. somethings fishy so is he oficially stil with Marc? (god i must sound liek a stalker!)

 

[LetThemEatCake]

I know Jason through somebody and he is not so bright.

 

[lollicandy]

^Really? Any stories you could provide as examples?

I have to admit that I love reading 'Rentboy Companion' everytime I log in to TFS. It makes me laugh.

Marc is definitely going through some midlife crisis thing; the body change, the younger boy, all the ego stroking photoshoots and tattoos. Kind of reminds me a little of Tom Ford ego crap. Its nice to see that he looks/feel better but its still a little disconcerting...
