GAYLETTER

Ruud is a 21 year old boy who was born in Sint-Michielsgestel, a small town in the south of the Netherlands. For the last 2 years he has lived in Amsterdam, next to Vondelpark, behind Museumplein. He’s studying branding. After he finishes school he’s hoping to “explore the world for a bit. See more of Europe, Asia and probably the US. See what’s out there and get to know other cultures…” He realized he was different when he was 10, “I was different than the other guys in my class. At 13 I realized that I also looked at boys often. But I tried to put that away and forced myself to ignore those feelings. I felt attracted to girls, but deep inside I knew it wasn’t for me…After finishing high school I accepted myself as bisexual…and came out of the closet to friends and family, a year later I got ok with being gay. I was almost 18.”

When we found Ruud on Instagram, the first thing we noticed was his beautiful healthy hair, then those lips… We asked him about his beauty routine… “I wash my face with water, put a drop of argan oil on my hair and that’s it, I use hair products from Revlon (Rough Paste 12). Of course I use deodorant, some eau de parfum (Yves Saint Lauren Homme le nuit) and occasionally I use a Cattier (not Cartier) Gommage Argile, I use this face mask when I’ve had several rough weeks and everything looks blah and tired.” As far as working out, he goes to the gym 3 times a week at 6:30AM, “I tend to eat very clean food, healthy, non processed food.” His favorite part of his body is his stomach, “I never really had to do anything for my sixpack.” Even though he lives in Amsterdam, he doesn’t smoke marijuana, “since it’s legal here.. nobody really cares, it’s mostly for foreign people.” He likes to party and his favorite drink is “pure vodka with ice and a slice of fresh lemon,
 I don’t like to mix, it makes me feel fresh and eh.. drunk.”

He’s single, “I always tend to say my perfect guy looks like Prince Eric (you know, from The Little Mermaid…how gay). I like guys with humor: caring, loving, who has his own vision on the world, someone who has something to tell and goes after his ambitions.”  When it’s time to go to bed, “in the winter I wear my boxers and sometimes a big shirt, in summer, when its too hot, I sleep naked.” He’s happiest when he’s with friends, good wine and good food, 

”I’m very simple to please.”



He used his iPhone 5 to take some selfies for us… He looks very handsome wearing our t-shirt and rather kissable, don’t you think?
