Domenico Dolce Prefers Delivery
Domenico Dolce, sans design partner Stefano Gabbana, was also recently spotted suntanning on South Beach, and Page Six reports he was busy at the clubs as well:
"Domenico Dolce does not pick up men - he has them selected and brought to him. The venerable designer - one half of the Dolce & Gabbana clothing empire - was at Miami hot spot Snatch the other night with several friends and one special employee whose assignment was 'to get hot guys in the club to go to his table,' giggled our spy. 'Domenico would point at a guy, and his employee would go bring the man over. It was extremely effective.'"
Well, at least he's not busy bashing gay parents.

Please correct me if i'm wrong, but it seems to imply that since he has a staff member on duty to do this, that several different men are approached. If that is so, what happens at the table? Do they dismiss him or vice versa?

VERY decadent. He SUMMONS them to his table? And what does one get if one's the lucky lad? D&G for a month? A drink? A romp in the proverbial hay with Signor Dolce? I'd rather do Armani Exchange.

I hope some of them politely declined.

Not just decadent--- down right hedonistic!

Gag.

why would anybody go to a club called Snatch?
meanwhile, Domenico Dolce is so average looking he could easilly go out incognito and behave slightly normal... it's a shame he has such a low quality of life.

Just threw up in my mouth a little...

An aging troll using a wingman to bring him fame prositutes. This is news? Remember our motto: It don't get that dark; I don't get that lonely.

I agree with Rudy. We could have done without the nasty visual of him in the speedo as well.

We will all be 50 one day and we'll be lucky if we look half as good as Dolce does. Give the "my eyes are scarred for life" comments a break. It's really not that repulsive.

While gross, good for him.
If some dumb ass guy chooses to go home with him (ie. preferably to further his own personal interests: career, financial gain, etc.), he deserves having to sleep with this repulsive man. That's the way life is. Everyone has a motive. EVERYONE.
Good for him!

It's funny, Jack's comments ar right on.
Kind of like the false advertising that goes on here on Towleroad. How many have you really think that "island house" in Key West is filled with young, well-built men hanging around the pool (naked) with drink in hand?
You pay a price for everything. You want to be part of "D&G's crowd," you'll need to let D or G fuck you.

I love the look on his face when you enlarge the pic. He seems positively PISSED!!!!!!

I'm sure there are many "lads" who are shallowly involved enough in life to want to be part of Dolce's acquisitions. They serve a purpose, particualarly to Dolce if he likes them. There have always been those who are enthralled for one reason or another by the famous. It likely makes them feel a little important in their own heads for a short while. It's Absolutely Fabulous sweetie.

I get hit on by older guys all the time and after a while it gets depressing.

"bashing gay parents?" that's not how I remember the Gabbana statement. There was no bashing involved in his comment. I believe it was his opinion plain and simple. When did it become unacceptable for a gay man to not go with gay mainstream?

He belongs to another generation of gay men so I can understand if his opinion was dated, but to make such blank statements as "I am opposed to the idea of a child growing up with two gay parents. A child needs a mother and a father" seemed ill-intended to me.
He must be aware of gay people's struggles to adopt and the fact the homophobes are using the same argument against us, so how about just speaking for himself? or nuancing his opinion? It wouldn't have been the same if he said something like "I understand the need of my gay fellow men to adopt children, but personally I'd love to give MY child a father and a mother". Then shut your trap for the rest :)

This is funny, it reminds me of a story a friend told me - back in the 80s, George Michael sent over a guy to her table at a club with an invitation to join him. She was really quite excited - but then realised the invite was for the guy she was with!

I figure live and let live. If there are people willing to respond to his beckon, let them. Secretly, I think many of us would love to have that kind of power over people, if only for a night out.
However, if he asked me over, I'd have to kindly decline...after he buys me my first drink.

I'd make a b-line for one of the other hot guys he had called over and fuck him in the club's bathroom before leaving. Why not have D&G pimp for me. Everyone has a motive.

Well not many of us are into old, short, bald men...so if 'power and fortune' is his only of getting a slice of man heaven...so be it.

Dolce & Gabbana are an embarrassment to me. Anti-gay gays... what the hell??
Kids desperately need parents, and a hell of a lot of them don't HAVE parents, and this slime-wad Gabbana has the fucking balls to bad-mouth gay parents?
He is lower than Falwell and Robertson and all other pond scum I can think of right tnow.

Of course he has to have someone pick up a guy for him! He is Domenico Dolce! He is old, bald and ugly, he can't do it by himself, one look at him and hot guys run the other way. Can you imagine an old wrinkly guy hitting on you at a bar by saying he is half of Dolce and Gabbana? He would have drinks thrown at his face!
