Coverboy: Brian
Locally Grown
Somebody get this man a passport. Coverboy Brian wants to travel the world, but the 22-year-old, originally from Hagerstown, Md., hasn’t strayed far from the D.C. metro area. Now in Alexandria, Brian works in retail by day and dances at Ziegfeld’s/Secrets at night. Because of his packed weekly schedule, he spends more of his free time napping than going out, though he manages an occasional outing to Cobalt and JR.’s on Mondays and DIK Bar on Tuesdays. As for his secret to staying in shape, Brian says he doesn’t work out at all, possibly making his ”rough-around-the-edges” persona even more intriguing to would-be Romeos.
