January 10, 2008 | 9 Comments
Jet Set exclusive Jesse Santana whomps his competition with eight individual citations (that might be a record, still checking) for the 10th Annual GAYVN Awards, followed closely by Raging Stallion exclusive Steve Cruz with seven nods. Mr. Santana is part of three (!) Best Group Scene nods (for BARN STORM, BOTTOM OF THE 9TH, JET SET FRATERNITY GANG BANG 2), Best Sex Scene (JIM STEEL’S BEACH HOUSE DIARIES, shared with Barrett Long), Best Threesome (JUST ADD WATER), Best Supporting Actor for ON FIRE!, plus the prestigious Best Newcomer and Performer of the Year categories. Click here for a breakdown of multiple nominees…
Mr. Cruz, who was just named Raging Stallion’s Man of the Year for 2008, is cited for Best Group Scene (LINK V: THE EVOLUTION) and Best Threesome (COMMUNION), and turns up for three separate scenes in MIRAGE; Best Group Scene, Oral Scene and Sex Scene (shared with Huessein).

Michael Lucas…makeup artist? I didn’t see Gigolo. Does he do the makeup, too???
Yes, Michael Lucas is the makeup artist for GIGOLO. I asked him this morning just to be sure. He’s quite the renaissance man.

Someone should figure out a way to put Jesse and Steve together. Wouldn’t that be something?
hey Bill I like the way you think.
I was just thinking the same thing.
…does anyone have Jesse’s number? What a hot mo’fo… Jesse if you’re out there call me at the studio…
I’ll be waiting
-Steve Cruz
Steve, I’m happy to help. I want a copy of that DVD when it’s available…
Hey, JC, make this happen!
Am I getting old or was Michael Lucas first known as Michel Lucas? Shame if it was! Now let me see Michel is French not Russian, or should I say what’s new in the Kremlin?

I just got back from Hustlaball and I can only say that from what I saw Jesse Santana do to the stage there definitely cemented in my mind why I’ve been so fond of his work. He deserves to reap awards this year. Go Jesse!
