Model Mikus Lasmanis

Mikus Lasmanis (Request models) is our model of the month. We recently had the pleasure of working with Mikus on an editorial job he was cast in. He is a statuesque 6.5 feet tall with a lean body perfectly suited for clothing. He appeared in the controversial Ck ad that was “too risqué” for the O so pure American audience and was banned. He is one of the great wave of Eastern European skater rats that have become so popular in the industry. He is beautiful a fantastic model, blah blah blah…. the thing we loved most was when our sexy goomer Selene asked him, “Where did you meet your girlfriend?” His ansewer was, “In my dreams.”
