Frontiers IN LA catches up w/Reichen Lehmkuhl!

It’s such a pity that Reichen Lehmkuhl is so homely. Ha! This gorgeous man is on the cover of Frontiers IN LA Magazine which I just picked up in West Hollywood.

Anyone who saw Reichen in Dante’s Cove knows that he looks best without any clothes on. But he’s awfully dapper in the photo shoot that accompanies a new interview with this past winner of CBS’s Amazing Race who is currently working on his second book, It Would Be Great Exposure which is a follow-up to his first, 2006′s Here’s What We’ll Say which was about his experiences as a gay man in the military.

“This second one starts at my graduation from the Air Force Academy and includes the rest of everything that’s happened—going to the Air Force at L.A. Air Force Base, which is of course how I ended up in the L.A. area, and then how my life progressed to The Amazing Race and the people I’ve dated,” Reichen tells the magazine.

“The reason I called it It’ll Be Great Exposure is because—especially after I won The Amazing Race—there were a lot of people in Hollywood who wanted me to do things for free. After a while you learn there are people who are making a lot of money off an image or the work you’re doing for them, and they’re not paying you anything. It gets to the point where, when any actor or any person who’s in the public eye hears, “It’ll be great exposure,” you just cringe and you’re like, “I can’t believe this person thinks I’m that stupid.”

“But I’m calling the book It’ll Be Great Exposure not in a bitter way. It’s really a tongue-in-cheek, fun book. It’s kinda making fun of all the different things that have happened to me—mostly in L.A. since I’ve been out here—and is a perspective of Hollywood from a reality show winner’s point of view.”
