Nick Shines This Pride
The Sexy Dallas DJ Headlines District’s Atlanta’s Pride Kick-off Party
By Doug Booth
“Despite all the negativity going on in the country currently, I am proud of how our community has become closer during this pandemic,” says Dallas DJ Nick Stracener. He arrives to Atlanta this week to spin District’s kick-off to Pride “Shine” party on October 8th. “This will be my first gig back at a club,” he continues. “I’ve done a couple private socially distanced events, but nothing like what we have planned for Pride.” To describe his current mood as excited would be an understatement. He says he has been longing to feel the energy of a dance floor full of people enjoying his music for months.
Nick’s unique sound is best described as a combination of indigenous rhythms with lots of sultry uplifting, female vocals. He aims to take revelers on a journey with high energy beats mixed with slow moments so that they can fully experience different emotions. To him, circuit music is therapy. “It is powerful and liberating and the ultimate escapism,” he explains. “A lot of people are going through hard times right now, mentally, and Pride will be a wonderful opportunity for our community to reach out to one another.” His pride message to fans this year is to love your neighbor as you love yourself. “It’s hard enough being gay in this world, especially now
with how the economy is and all the other outside factors. You never know what someone is going through, and a small gesture like a “How are you?” and a “Are you alright?” shows you care and might be exactly what someone needs to hear.” Experience DJ Nick Stracener live when he spins District’s kickoff to Pride party on October 8th. Tickets: $20-$35. Face shields and hand sanitizer provided and strictly enforced. Portion of Proceeds Benefiting Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation. Follow Nick on Instagram @ thenickstracener

Field of Dreams The Men of CiNava are Picture Perfect By Chad Conroy
“The perfect image should capture the attention of the viewer for at least three to five seconds,” says Angel Cintron. “That is when we know it has made an impact.” Cintron and his husband, Steve Nava, are the men behind CiNava, one of the leading teams in fashion model photography. The duo has become known for crafting highly produced editorial images that are creative, edgy, artistic, fresh, and often drawn from their own environment. “We notice everything around us,” Nava explains. “People, locations, lighting, colors, wardrobe… We combine them all to develop a story that is told within a single image.” CiNava’s work has appeared in many fashion and style books including MOD, HUF Magazine, L’Officiel AU, and Cool America Magazines. Their most recent celebrity shoots include WWE Superstar diva Lae Van Dale, influencer Mimi G Style, television actress Tia Carrera and movie actress Natalie Ganzhorn. We caught up with them on the set of their latest shoot with creative director and former judge on Rupaul’s Drag Race, Mike Ruiz. Shooting male models sounds like a tough job, but someone has got to do it. Angel: Yes, it’s exhausting! We love the high energy of fashion. How did you get started? Steve: Angel began in wedding photography and he would get a gig and need someone there to assist with lighting, holding bounce cards, or someone with a second camera. I was there to help. Essentially, I became free labor. However, it was such a great experience working together, we decided to create CiNava, a fusion of both our last names. What is the biggest lesson you have learned from working together? Angel: We have learned to celebrate our successes, no matter how small, and to give ourselves permission to fail. Listen, we’ve made plenty of mistakes along the way to becoming successful fashion photographers. We’ve learned to own the mistakes and to grow from them. We also learned to appreciate that we have one another to lean on. Do you go prepared into a shoot or do you let the mood and the energy of the day guide you?
Steve: We go into a shoot with a concept or story in mind. There is a definite game plan; but then the environment dictates the scene as we seldom have props on set. On shoot day, the excitement of the studio becomes electric as we engage with the stylists and talent. As photographers, it’s important we keep the energy going to bring out the best in everyone, especially the model. What keeps you engaged in a shoot? Angel: First and foremost, the mood and the vibe. Everyone on set needs to have a positive state of mind. They need to be ready to give their all. That is the only way we are assured a flawless, successful shoot. What if a guy that you are shooting is having a bad photo day or is emotionally vacant? Maybe his dog just died or his partner dumped him. Is there anything that you can do? Steve: That is a great question! We find that music is a fantastic ice-breaker in most any situation. A simple gesture of asking the model what they want to listen to can go a long way in changing the dynamic of a shoot. If his mood is impacted by the loss of his pet or being dumped by his boyfriend, we’ll throw on some survival music like “I will survive,” by Gloria Gaynor or “It’s not right, but it’s ok,” by Whitney Houston. Who shoots better still images, models or actors? Angel: It’s a tossup. We’ve come to realize that models have their stock poses for each situation. They can serve the fierce, mad, and sexy looks like no one’s business. Actors are expert in all emotions. They can change from one emotion to another with such ease.
Are male models as big of divas as their female counterparts? Angel: Female models have certainly cornered the diva market, but male models are quickly learning that tapping into their inner divo is effective as drama grabs attention on and off the set. Is dealing with demanding agents and pushy publicists a part of the job? Steve: You know, we really have not had too many experiences with pushy publicists. Obviously, we try to work collaboratively with the talent’s team, but they can’t dictate how we execute our vision for the shoot. I can think of one situation where the publicist did not allow for the talent to wear certain clothing. As a result, we cut the story way short and did not work with the publicist again for any future shoots. Tell us about shooting the cornfield images. Steve: The cornfield shoot was so much fun. We encouraged them to use the corn stalks as props, place some of the weeds in their mouth, and do whatever felt natural. The guys got really into it. What inspired the shoot? Angel: The inspiration came from our incredible Creative Director, Mike Ruiz. After shooting other projects in studio for two days, we needed to do something different and fun. Nothing says fun like hot men in a cornfield!
What’s next for CiNava? Steve: 2020 has been a roller coaster for us, just as it has for everyone else. We have no plans of slowing down. We’re super excited about shooting Ed Quinn in the extremely near future. Ed is an actor and musician who has appeared in several film and television roles, including One Day at a Time, Young Americans, and True Blood. Angel: In addition to more fashion shoots, we’re working to raise awareness for the Equality Federation, an organization that amplifies the power of the state-based LGBTQ movement.

Rebel Brian Gibson Stars as the Young Hollywood Bad Boy of Adult Film By Phil Bessimer
Since making his debut five months ago in a solo film on HelixStudios.net, 19-year old Brian Gibson 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 River Phoenix to James Dean, but he says he’s not as rebellious as people assume that 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 is where we caught up with him. 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. 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 film, did you watch it? Yes! Brandon from SeanCody is one of my all-time crushes. 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 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.
Without A Flaw 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 kind of 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 a 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! Visit HelixStudios.net
