Fashion and Fun: On Mekahel gives us TV Realness
By Kevin M. Thomas, @ReelKev
Typically, there seem to be two reasons people watch reality TV: for the lifestyles of the rich or poor and to perhaps see a table flipped after tea is spilled.
"Putting On" seems to break free from that mold and is about to begin a second season on the streaming channel Revry.
"On" is actually the name of its star On Mekahel, who also serves as Executive Producer of the show on the queer-oriented channel.Last year, we were served an introduction to On in the first season of the show.
Season two, debuting July 5, takes a deeper look at the man, his work and his life.One would think that someone who turns everything he touches into gold (a quote from his best friend by the way), we'd find perhaps a snobbish, pretension and un-relatable individual. But we don't. Every episode I watched, I kept waiting to see a darker side - but it doesn't seem to come up.
On is very down-to-earth, a fan of pizza slices and the Shake Shack. But he is by no means a Beverly Hillbilly as he also does like the finer things in life and doesn't put on airs about his accomplishments.
On has been a model, part-time actor and mostly known for manufacturing high-quality underwear. This season of the show, we see him expanding his interests into fragrances and make-up.
The show's not all about promoting his brand. We take a beautiful trip with On and his fiance Dave to Israel and we see the genuineness of their relationship. The show also shows how he keeps himself in top form - whether it be using sage to keep him at peace spiritually or going to a spa for preventative maintenance on his physical appearance. He keeps the yin and yang of his inward and outward selves in harmony.
On is seemingly such a nice person, that it is an absolute joy to see someone so grounded and serene live the lifestyles of the very rich - and not be a bitch about it.
I truly hope these are his true colors as it makes his story, and this show, a pleasure to watch. Catch up with season one now and start season two July 5. Also available at www.revry.tv

A Gay Couple's Growing Pains are Superbly Played Out in 15 YEARS Available on VOD
By Steve V. Rodriguez
The new film 15 YEARS is an alluring and captivating drama that acutely sets the stage and dives into a triad of character drama that avoids judgement in place of an in-depth slice of life.
Yoav and Dan have been together for 15 years, hence the title and Dan is significantly younger than Yoav although in no way to suggest inappropriate. The difference in age and the duration of the relationship do play a part in the drama that unfolds between the very attractive and sexy couple. Truth be told, I went in for the guys but stayed for the riveting story. Yoav’s longtime friend, Alma is our third character who is in her latter term of pregnancy and shares a deep bond with Yoav.
During a dinner party with all their friends, the conversation turns to talk of babies which escalates to the group’s pressure of Yoav and Dan having their own baby. Yoav has no interest in having a baby and his imploding resistance is palpable, but younger Dan shows a glimmer in his eye for the potential prospect. Here in lies our story which allows the viewer to witness a major roadblock that so many couples have to face. What makes this story even more engaging is the fact that it took 15 years to occur giving light to the many gay men who are having children today.
15 YEARS goes beyond the complications of the choices we makes as a unit to reveal past personal struggles that can often reveal themselves years into a relationship. With great choice in casting and acute storytelling by Yuval Hadadi, 15 YEARS is a nuanced story that most viewers will have compassion for without judgement.
After a very successful film festival run including winning the 37th Chicago LGBTQ+ International Film Festival where the film won the Jury Award for Best Feature Film, now 15 YEARS is out today on streaming platforms. Watch the trailer below and see the film. Watch, Rent and Buy on Amazon Prime:
