Hot or Not: Pavel Petel

Finally, a couple of good gay-related words out of Russia: Pavel Petel. A towering brunet, Pavel is the lipstick and dumbbell loving performance artist from the world’s largest, coldest and least gay-friendly country. Built like a weightlifter and with a fetish for thigh high latex boots, Pavel poses for innumerable pictures, performs wearing nothing but glitter and a hard on at some of Europe’s hottest clubs, and occasionally risks death by cycling around Moscow’s parks on busy Summer days in his favorite wig and hot pink leotard.
There’s plenty of Botox, biceps, and what appears to be a massive account at the tanning salon. Today we ask, Hot or Not: Pavel Petel.

Apparently, Pavel used to be chunky, a bit out of shape. There’s evidence of a little bit of succulent beef in this clip from his early days at the gym:

Look at how he appears on Russian breakfast TV:

The Petel cornucopia.
