If you put a straight man and a gay celebrity in a room and leave them to the devices of a photographer, what do you get? No, not an episode of Maury, but, according to Butch Cordora, a photo shoot. Creative director and model Cordora says that the photo shoots for his art show "Straight and Butch" are not designed to make heteros look gay, but quite the opposite — to make them more straight than they've ever looked. The former In Bed with Butch host took average Joes — the neighborhood delivery boy, the bartender down the street — and was photographed with them in what he dubs a study of the vulnerability of masculinity in society. Butch's been masculinizing straight men for years now (he released a calendar of the shoots in 2008, and a documentary about his art project screens at next week's QFest) but he says the spread at Ven and Vaida adds six new photos to the fold. We can't wait to see who Butch will hop into bed with next — professionally speaking of course.
