Chase Hostler: go-go boy wonder

NYC superstar makes Canadian debut at Pride

Xtra’s interview with go-go boy extraordinaire, Chase Hostler. Orie Givens

Our Pride issue cover boy, Chase Hostler, is perhaps the hottest go-go boy in New York right now, and he’s about to get even hotter with his Canadian debut at the TreeHouse Party at Toronto Pride. We got to dance with him in New York while famed photog Marco Ovando was shooting him — and boy can he shake. You’ll get your chance on Pride Sunday — we dare you to try to keep up with him.

We were lucky enough to sit down with Hostler in New York this spring to talk to him about his appearance at Pride, his butt and his life as a go-go dancer.
