Identically Different I

It's hard to know where to begin. Th ese two amazing young men, Brad andchad, have given me some amazing gifts. Th eir friendship and trust among thedearest to me. We've been friends for the better part of a decade, and it is diffi cult toput in words the joy they bring to my life. Th ey saw through all of my defenses, whichI use very successfully to keep the world at bay, and decided we would be friends forlife upon our fi rst meeting. Th e spirit and integrity these boys possess is stunning.While their lives and energy are deeply intertwined, as many identical twins are, theyalso remain remarkably individual. Th ey consistently dress and behave like absolutegentlemen, employing a fashion awareness that ranges from retro to ultra current,making them stand out in any crowd. Th ey are steadfastly loyal to their friends andfamily, and expect no less from those around them. although they would deny it,they are somewhat icons in the dallas area, having hosted nightclub events andbeing featured in print advertising. Both Brad and chad enjoy successful careers,and would love the chance to pursue modeling as well. We have toyed with the ideaof this project for years, and somehow we understood that when the time was right,it would happen. Some have (and I have no doubt more will), said they should nothave participated in this project, it's going too far, it will hurt them somehow in thefuture. People have always attempted to project their own limits, their own standardsand fears on those around them. Brad and chad walk their own paths, live their ownlives, and like a wonderfully prepared meal, are spiced with just the right amount ofmischief, self confi dence, and adventure. Th ey know, as do I, that with the passing oftime they will look back on this with mirth and pride. face it, they look great. likethe hundreds of my models before them, they know this will stop nothing they setout to achieve. Th ese twins possess an enviable self awareness, in regard to their lives,and their bodies. Th ey are not the least embarrassed to share this window into theirlives with the world. Th ey are kind and gentle, soft spoken and articulate, generousto a fault, and as the three of us are about to show you, beautiful. We could all standto be more like these fantastic brothers. enjoy.
