Marc Jacobs' Boy Toy Speaks!
Filed under: Fashion Smashion > Marc Jacobs
Jason Preston just sat down with HX magazine to talk about his (often volatile) relationship with the famed fashion designer, their recent engagement, sobriety, Lindsay, the "haters" out there and his dream of opening an organization for children living with HIV and AIDS.
Did he really say that? YUP! And, yes, he really did just get a huge ass Mariah over his (hard) abs.

Marc Jacobs’ muse Jason Preston shares a sobering look at their inextinguishable spark
By Brandon Voss
In our May 2006 cover story, “Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” former rent boy and substance abuser Jason Preston defended his “Marc Jacobs” forearm tattoo and denied allegations that he was being paid by the fashion designer for his companionship. Now, addressing recent engagement rumors for the first time, the 27-year-old party promoter (Hot Mess Sundays at Porky’s) reveals what really goes on behind the seams of their on-again, off-again romance.
HX: In the new September issue of Out, Marc said you and he were dunzo. What’s your status today?
Jason Preston: We’re back together. That interview was done a while ago. He warned me, “You’re really not going to like what I said.” I read it and was like, “What do you mean we had no fucking chemistry?!” I was pissed for, like, two seconds, and then I was over it.
Why did you get back together?
We could break up again tomorrow, but he’ll always be in my heart and I’ll always be in his. Nothing’s ever going to change between us. One of us will always keep running back.
Does making up involve crying, begging and jewelry?
None of that. The last time we broke up, we got in a fight and I stormed out, being dramatic, and we didn’t talk for a while. Then randomly, I’ll send a text, he’ll send a text, saying, “Hope you’re doing well.” Then he’ll say, “I’m in town,” I’ll go to see him, and as soon the door opens, there’s that big spark again.
Why’s your relationship so volatile?
We’ve just always been in different places, but I’m trying to travel the same path as him. I’d go out every single night, he’d come home and I’d never be there. But that was in my party days. I’m more about going to the gym now, getting my fitness on, eating right—and no drugs or alcohol.
Is that difficult?
Not at all. It’s funny because when I go out now since being sober, everybody seems different. People are slurring their words and I’m like, God, did I act like that when I was high and drunk? It’s kind of annoying because people scream in your ear and I never noticed that before. It’s like, Can you please shut the fuck up?
Has living the clean life together been a bonding experience?
Yes. It’s weird because he’s always been amazing, but when we first met, he looked different. Now he looks amazing. I was with him back then because of the way he made me feel, and we had so much fun together, but now it’s even better.
Including your sex life?
Oh my God. Amazing!
He said in Out that he didn’t blame you for his March rehab relapse, but do you feel at all responsible?
We weren’t together when that happened. But everybody makes his own choice. He made his, I’ve made mine, and now we’re on the same path, so it’s great.
You used to party hard with Lindsay Lohan. Can we at least blame you for her problems?
No. Lindsay is one of the most amazing human beings I’ve ever met. Everybody thinks she’s just a partygirl, but that’s not the case. She’s a great friend and I love her with all my heart. She has issues she needs to work out, but this time around she’s going to come back and fuckin’ prove to everybody who she really is. I’ve gone to see her a couple of times and she’s looking gorgeous. She’s happy and finding her way. I couldn’t be more proud of her.
Why the new “Mariah” tattoo?
I got “Marc Jacobs” because he’s my best friend and I’ll always love him. And I got “Mariah” because she’s a great friend, I grew up loving her, and now that I know her, I love her even more. I know I’ll never regret it, so that’s why I got it.
Does Mariah think you’re crazier than she is?
Of course not! Why would she? She knows about it, though. I sent her manager Benny a picture and said, “I want to be in the new video!” So they’re hopefully going to let me know when the video’s going to happen.
Did you make Marc get his “J.” tattoo?
No, but I was like, “People won’t know what the ‘J.’ means. It could stand for Jacobs!” So just recently I told him he needed to go all the way and put the word “Jason.”
Do you consider yourself Marc’s muse?
Well, he says that, but I don’t know. He’ll show me sketches and I’ll be like, “That’s dumb” or “That’s pretty”—shit like that. But I always support him. When he’s stressed out, working on a show, thinking, “I don’t know if it’s going to get done, if it’s going to look good,” I’m always saying, “It’s going to be the best show yet.” And every show’s been better than the last.
So are you guys really engaged?
Hmm. [long pause] Okay, I’ll just tell you how it went down. We always say crazy retarded things, but a couple of weeks ago he came back from shopping, looked at me and said, “You promise to love me and be with me forever?” I said, “Yes.” And then he gave me the ring.
A Cartier band, right?
Yes, and it’s fierce. It’s exactly what I’d want if I ever got married to anybody, but it’s kind of crazy—the thought of being married to a man.
Are you planning a ceremony?
I’m just living for now. I’m going to see what happens.
Who’ll be your best man?
Wouldn’t I have bridesmaids? [Gasps] Wouldn’t it be fierce if my bridesmaids were Mariah, Naomi Campbell and Lindsay?
Totes. Why do people dislike you?
There are always going to be haters out there and it’s not going to stop me. I like to think that it’s jealousy-who wouldn’t want to date Marc Jacobs? Whatever, those people are stupid. Oh, I’m trying to work on not being so judgmental and not talking shit about everybody. I’m trying to be the best man I can be.
What do you want to do with your life, Jason?
I’ve always known what I’ve wanted to do with my life. I want to open up an organization for children living with HIV and AIDS. That’s something that’s really close to my heart. I really don’t care about making money.
Not that you need to, honey!
Whatever, bitch.

NICE abs!
He's kinda hot!
Mariah? WHY?
hottie!!
I want to know why Perez is not making a big deal about Jerry Lewis's homophobic slur on national TV. Yet he goes apeshit over Issiah Washington's slur that was said in private.
1st bitches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!
Mariah??
These two definately won't last. That kind of crazy behavior will wind up ruining them in the long run. People can be so stupid.
I'd hit!
ok ^-^
He look so sexy!! Wow
oh my what a flamey flamer!
its a shame these kinda douchebags wear the iron maiden logo shirts!
aw i love what he said about lindsay!
he seems cool.
SWEET
YAY! Mimi!
This guy is nothing more than a crack head whore who hit it big with a rich gullible older guy who wanted a young piece of ass in his bed. He is just awful, rude, tacky and ignorant. Don't let any of his big words fool you, he would sell Marc Jacobs down the river if someone who had more money came along and wanted to ram his tight ass. Anyone who has seen him out and about in New york knows what a piece of shit he really is, he makes out with guys for free drinks, lets them feel him up for a dinner, all this while he talks about devotion to Marc Jacobs, between the two of them I don't know who is the bigger fool, sorry to say, but it may be Marc Jacobs.
that shirt is fuckin tore up lmao.
oh my.
STAY AWAY FROM MY MAN JASON!!! I Hope they fair well. They remind me of my boyfriend and I. When its on its soooooo on, when its off get the fuck away from both of us.

Because Perez is a racist turd. He has nothing but disdain for black people. He has a very low opinion of blacks. Take for instance his hatred of Beyonce. She’s somewhat talented, but Perez hates her for flashing her armpit. However Perez loves Paris Hilton who’s been to jail for d.u.i, or whatever it was, and who’s been videotaped sucking dick and taking it up the ass. And, by the way, Paris has no talent whatsoever. Perez, You Suck you piece of shit!!!
sexy!!
He's a fucking idiot.
way to ruin the Thundercats for me, douche
he's a hottie… too bad
I have had the absolute PLEASURE of making aquaintance with Jason…and let me tell you, I do believe he has had MANY, MANY opprotunities to sell out those he has close to him…and WOULD NEVER DO IT. I've seen firsthand that he has had those opportunites to manipulate certain situations, and never did it.
He wore his heart on his sleeve, was castigated for it…no one is perfect, EVERYONE makes mistakes but no matter what i think his loyalty to certain people is unquestionable…
he IS a party boy, and a very pretty one at that (i find him adorable) but so what? If you have met him out & about, then maybe you arent much different. You are going to judge him for being able to do what maybe you wish you could?
Pot & kettle….
I think Jason and Marc have a great relationship and they are both really cute. They seem like great guys.
Could this guy come across as a bigger dumbass? OM MY GOD AMAZING–LINDSAY IS AMAZING–I'LL NEVER REGRET MY MARIAH TATTOO…
Shitty, skinny body. No arms. And what a collosal mistake for a tattoo.
Um, if Mariah was really your 'great friend', wouldn't you just show her the tattoo or maybe call her about it? Instead of 'sending her manager a photo'…? Maybe it's just me, but if I have to talk to someone through their manager, I'm thinking we're not exactly best buddies.
YES, A TOTAL DUMBASS ASS—AND I'M SURE HE'S NEVER LISTENED TO ONE IRON MAIDEN SONG IN HIS LIFE.
This is you;
THIS IS YOU ON METH!
Yes collassal tattoo mistakee - talk about an instant boner killer.
Perez how old exactly is Mess Jackobs? I seem to recall this same bahaivor back in the day - like the 80's. Tragic isn' it?
