YOUTUBE: Anyone remember this Coty Musk ad (above)? It starred Jill Schoelen and gorgeous Peter Tramm.
Tramm was Kevin Bacon's primary dance double in Footloose and the titular “Sharp Dressed Man” in the ZZ Top music video, among other jobs that included dancing with Cher.
He may have been married to Marine Jahan, who danced anonymously for Jennifer Beals in Flashdance. Regardless, he was likely gay or bisexual. He died of AIDS in 1991. Just thought he should get a shout-out after 30+ years, and Pride Month seemed appropriate, if my assumption is correct.

DARK STAR: Do you like big boys? Are you a big boy? Then Big Boys might be for you. Corey Sherman's fan-fave flick is available on demand from Apple, Amazon, Google, YouTube, Vudu, Direct TV and through local cable providers. In a nutshell:
Jamie’s dream camping trip is ruined before it even begins when he finds out that his beloved cousin is bringing her new boyfriend. However, Jamie’s initial jealousy of the competent and confident Dan quickly turns into a friendship as they bond over cooking, games and both being ‘big boys’. But as the weekend progresses, despite Jamie’s brother’s attempts to set him up with a girl staying at the campsite, all Jamie wants to do is hang out with Dan. As his burgeoning crush gets him into awkward scrapes and arguments, Jamie begins to come to terms with who he is, and who he desires. Hilarious and heartwarming, Big Boys is the type of coming-of-age film we need more of in the world.
