The latest Junior Boys video “Bits and Pieces” has gay all over it: not only does it star three members of the Toronto-based vogue crew House of Monroe, it features glow-in-the-dark costumes by up-and-coming neo-drag queen/crotch sniffer Mary Messhausen. We asked Mary to share a few words about her behind-the-scenes experience styling “Bits and Pieces”. Read what she had to say and check out the video after the jump!
Oooh, I had so much fun working on this video! It’s very clear where my inspiration came from: the boys!!! Here’s a little run down of the outfits with some juicy details…
This cutie-pie is Vixen. He and I spent some serious quality time together while I made this outfit. I draped this whole thing on his hot bod and spent hours and hours poking and prodding until we were finished. I think I even got lost in there a few times.
Foxy, foxy Twysted Monroe: I had made Twysted an outfit that covered him head-to-toe, but as soon as I laid my eyes on him, I threw the whole thing into the garburator. Instead, I whipped up a pair of skin tight leggings (with nothing up top). Let me tell you, I could’ve made those tights in half an hour, but in order to make sure it fit perfectly (um-hmm). I scheduled four fittings.
With Snoopy here, I decided to focus all of my attention upstairs. It meant we had a LOT of face time. While gazing into his eyes, I somehow managed to have enough focus to make this ruffled neck piece and a leather cube hat. The whole look is so inviting. I still day dream about taking a seat.
My BGFF Produzentin stopped by the set and snapped this pic of the boys on their lunch break. They are always on – LOVE THEM!!
Another one just ‘cuz. Serious cuteness.
xoxo Mary Messhausen
The House of Monroe boys will battle Mary Messhausen at the Hotnuts “Get Your Apps Together” party at The Beaver in Toronto this Saturday, February 23. Full info here.
anyone not familiar with junior boys, i highly urge to check out their 3 albums (begone dull care, so this is goodbye & last exit) because each one of them is freakin’ great. the combination of lush synth sounds with jeremy greenspan’s sexy voice make them irresistible.
