Unzipped

Shoots Portland Mayor's Former Lover

Beau Breedlove, the former lover of gay Portland, Ore., mayor Sam Adams, has accepted Unzipped magazine's offer to be featured on the magazine's May cover and traveled to Los Angeles this weekend for a nude photo shoot, editors announced on Tuesday.

Breedlove's name was thrust into the spotlight in January, when Adams admitted to having an affair with the former state legislature intern. The affair allegedly took place in 2005, when Adams was a Portland city commissioner and Breedlove was just 18 years old.

Adams had previously maintained their relationship was strictly platonic.

Unzipped's website, Unzipped.net , quickly became the go-to destination for all things Breedlove when editors posted a photo gallery of pictures from Breedlove's now deleted MySpace page. When interest in the photos took off, the magazine extended an offer for Breedlove to appear on the cover. Breedlove agreed to the offer for an undisclosed amount of money.

"Beau Breedlove was extremely professional at his first erotic photo shoot in Los Angeles this past weekend," Unzipped online editor Sean Carnage told Advocate.com. "He came to L.A. to prove that the Portland scandal does not define his sexuality. The photos portray the real Beau -- a confident and extremely handsome young man who is openly sensual, openly sexual, and has nothing to hide."

The May issue of Unzipped will be on newsstands in mid April. For photos from Breedlove's trip to Los Angeles, visit Unzipped.net . (Advocate.com)
