When you think of Jason Preston, you might just think of the retired rentboy that just has a tattoo of boyfriend Marc Jacobs' name on his forearm, but that's not correct. He also has a tattoo of Mariah (as in Carey) on his abs and a tattoo of Lindsay (as in Lohan) elsewhere on his body. I sort of missed the location as I was staring out onto street traffic and not looking into the tiny mirrored room we were sharing.
Let me back up. Daniel Nardicio had me as a guest on his East Village Radio program. Along with his cohost World Famous *BOB*, I shared the booth space with the other guest, Jason Preston (and his very sweet friend Joey). You really couldn't find two guests with less in common. When Daniel played Nina Hagen, I was thrilled. When Daniel played new pop hit Robyn, he was thrilled. There was some nervousness as I explained about that time I included him in a Gawker article.
Regardless, in the hour or so we were together, some information was learned about Jason.
- He's clean and sober and seems to be in a very good place.
- One of his favorite people in the world is Courtney Love, who is a friend of his.
- There were some sexual tidbits about his and Marc's sex life which were given with comfortable candor. And despite his comfort in talking about it, it won't be repeated here as other outlets just can't handle such information without reverting to puerile press.
- Despite impressions of being a trophy husband, he does have goals and wants to do more than luxuriate as arm candy. He's currently very active with fund-raising for charities.
But! What Jason Preston really wants to do is deejay at a live venue. Which will probably be happening at a club near you in the very near future. But as he's more of a Mariah man than I can probably handle, it probably won't be a venue for me.
The podcast is up and is a fun listen.
UPDATE: Jason's "Ancient Vampire" bit my "Rockstar Vampire".
