Here is the interview by the photographer Justino Esteves.
Hi handsome, what is your name ?
My name is Pete RANDY.
You accepted to model today, how do you feel about it ? Did you do it before ?
This was the first photo-shoot in my life, by a “real” photographer. I love fashion-photography, beautiful faces where you can tell there’s a story behind, but for me, I always feel awkward whenever there’s a camera pointing at my face – when I am not performing on stage. I guess this is because I am an insecure boy in general.
There are lots of pictures on my personal sites but those are pictures I took myself, knowing how my face looks at the moment, what light is the best etc. I guess I like to be in control of everything.
Where are you from ? and where do you live now ?
I have always lived in Antwerp, Belgium, but in September this year I moved to London, kind of chasing that American dream, musically-wise. I live in the east of London which I think is amazing on so many levels; music-scene, going out, fashion etc.
You made some amazing tracks that we can predict to be big hits, how do you describe your music ?
I would describe my music as a farmer-son on speed with coconuts up his ass writing the new soundtrack for a gay Disney movie. Basically, my music is based on house-beats, with very tropical, carnavalesque melodies over it. It’s POP music obviously, and if I may say so, it is intelligent pop music. I am very much of an up-and-down-boy emotionally and if I would write sad music I think I would die out of self-pity, so that’s why I write happy, positive, honest music people, and in particular me, can dance to.
Dancing is the love of my life and as Madonna once sung “only when I am dancing I can feel this free”. It’s one of the only moments in my life I feel amazing, on top of things, and powerful, so it’s always something I have in mind when I’m writing new music. My lyrics all talk about my discovery of love and progress in life as a 20-year old boy.
How do you see yourself growing up in this industry ?
I have sooooo much to learn in every possible aspect of this music industry, so I think I have a long and interesting way to go. To be honest I haven’t really figured out if I want to stay being in front of everything, maybe I want to write songs for other people. But then again, I can’t be away from the stage for too long as it lifts me and my personality up to another stage. I am still young and I am sure that staying active in this scene will show me my way eventually. As long as I stay positive and believe in myself!

A deadly fire at a Winnipeg bathhouse was alleged started by a customer who was angry to learn he’d had a sexual tryst with a man he thought was actually a woman.
Two people died in the Oct. 11 blaze at the Aquarius Men’s Bath while nearly 40 other patrons were able to escape.
Justin Rosdobutko, 25, has been charged with two counts of manslaughter. He remains before the courts and is presumed innocent. His lawyer said this week he plans to vigorously fight the charges.
A friend who went with Rosdobutko to “co-ed” night at the Notre Dame business spoke out this week on the condition his name not be published because of safety concerns. He has given a lengthy statement to police and is considered a key Crown witness.
“We had been out all night and, I don’t know, we just decided to go there,” said the man. He said they went downstairs into the locker room area and changed into towels. They checked out several rooms on the main floor of the facility but eventually became separated.
“A little later on I ran back into him. He was upset,” said the friend.
The friend claims Rosdobutko told him he had met someone he believed to be a woman, only to discover it was a transvestite. He felt like he’d been “tricked.”
“I guess anybody would be upset by that,” the friend said.
The two men returned downstairs to get changed back into their street clothes. Suddenly people began yelling about a fire on the main floor.
“It was a total panic to get out. I’ve never been in a fire before,” said the friend. He and Rosdobutko fled the facility and stood outside for several minutes, watching the blaze.
He said Rosdobutko was initially interviewed by police as a witness. The investigation changed once the friend gave his statement to investigators.
“I’m just so confused, so stressed,” said the friend, who hasn’t talked to Rosdobutko since he was arrested.
“I just can’t see him doing this, I’ve known him for a long time,” he said

On Monday evening, Marine reservist Jasen Bruce attacked a Greek orthodox priest with a tire iron after the priest asked him for directions:
Priest “The Rev. Alexios Marakis, visiting from Greece, had performed a blessing of a retired Greek priest in the West Shore area before accidentally exiting I-275 into downtown Monday evening, police said. Marakis followed cars into the Seaport Channelside Apartments on Twiggs Street and got out to ask for help. Bruce, a reservist with a West Palm Beach unit since March, had his trunk open so he could get dry cleaning out, police said. Bruce, who lives in the apartment building, was not in uniform. Bruce grabbed a tire iron from the trunk, hit Marakis four times over the head and chased him about three blocks before pinning the priest, police said. In a 911 call, Bruce made a derogatory comment about a man he said was a terrorist and was trying to rob him and had grabbed him in a sexual manner, police spokeswoman Laura McElroy said. When officers arrived, police say, Bruce told them he heard the man say ‘Allahu Akbar’ – Arabic for ‘God is great.’ ‘That’s what they say before they blow you up,’ Bruce said, according to police.”
Bruce has since changed his story and says the priest hit on him and grabbed his genitals.
Bruce, who is now claiming he’s freaked out enough by having men hit on him to brutalize them with a blunt object, is a pin-up model (top photo) for All American Guys. This is one Bruce’s pic from All AAG.
