Cocky Boys’ pornstar Jett Black does Liberace

In celebration of HBO’s Behind the Candelabra, which premiered last night, Papermag has a photo feature in the latest issue with Cocky Boys’ pornstar Jett Black modelling some original Liberace pieces, which were bought at auction. Here’s some info from Papermag on the series, which was shot by photographer Rebecca Smeyne:

The film got us thinking about Liberace’s fantabulous style and we remembered that our friends Benny Morecock, Jake Jaxson and R.J. Sebastian at our favorite gay adult film company Cocky Boys had scored some of Liberace’s clothes and other mementos at an upstate New York auction. We sent our adventurous photographer Rebecca Smeyne to the trio’s upstate home to photograph one of Cocky Boys’ sexy stars, Jett Black, who arrived with his two Italian greyhounds in tow and modeled a suit, smoking jacket and other Liberace treasures scored at auction.
