Miley's Model Boyfriend Struts His Stuff
Away from the Disney-sanitized environment that attends a hit commodity like "Hannah Montana," young Mr. Gaston is getting quite the reputation for racy photo spreads. First came a series in the Spring 2009 issue of V Man, an edgy men's fashion magazine which posed him awkwardly straddling a tennis net and grabbing his crotch.

Now he is on the cover of the even more avant garde Electric Youth! magazine, a frankly homoerotic remix of the teen-mag Tiger Beat genre dedicated to up-and-coming male models. (Although the new issue does also feature a handful of young female models, including Dakota Johnson, the daughter of Don Johnson and Melanie Griffith.)
Electric Youth! (or EY!), named after the Debbie Gibson hit, is the brainchild of a Madrid-based creative director named Luis Venegas. Each model is interviewed in the style of a teen idol and the text, in contrast to the revealing photos, is positively restrained. Gaston is only referred to as Miley's "best friend," for example, and the aspiring musician is allowed a generous plug for his MySpace demo page. Dakota Johnson's famous parents aren't even mentioned.
EY! does not have a web site and you won't find the ad-free mag on news stands. Although it nominally has a US cover price of $18, in reality it is stocked by only a few trendy European boutiques or distributed privately among the fashion media.
Which is probably just as well, since if he saw it Billy Ray might wonder why Justin's red Speedo had to be quite so tight.

This is very tasteless advertising to get teens to buy into this magazine. We are trying to get teens to be teens, not to look like grown adults. This young man is 20 years old and if he is representing a teen on the cover of a teen magazine, then he should REPRESENT the clean and wholesomeness of a teenage life and what there life should be. Teens already have enough issues, and parents have enough problems with their teens trying to be grown before their time. The teens are trying to keep up with magazine mess like this. I think this picture is very disturbing. He might as well be posing for a male sex magazine since that is what is being sold on the cover. I have teens, and I mentor teens, and I would never buy this type of magazine for them, one that exploits people on the cover so teens can think that this is how life really is.
