The clip below shows how people on the streets of different Arab countries reacted to homosexuality. I’ve put a couple of the clips below, if you want to watch them all, go here.

Flash The Queen With Mikus Lasmanis & Brian Wood

 

Remember when I showed you back in January some photos of  Mikus Lasmanis by Samuel Zakuto? Well it turns out those images where taken while Zakuto shot the ad campaign for the Brian Wood S/S 2009 collection, which is dubbed ‘Flash The Queen’. Here is Mikus and some other boys in the ads.

 

 

I have to say that the clothes in these ads are pretty boring. Their recent F/W 08 collection “We Shall Overcome” was much more exciting. Thankfully they are back on track with the F/W 09 collection “Night Stalkers”
