Don't you hate it when you're blindfolded and in the midst of groping a woman's naked breasts and then a tongue enters your mouth and the blindfold is removed and you realize you're kissing a man? Not a common occurrence now, is it? Well that's the situation in which indie swinger Jack Penate finds himself in an eccentric clip that plays like a surreal version of a Herb Ritts video [actually, director Alma Har'el tells me it's inspired by the formerly banned arthouse classic, Fando Y Lis]. Penate seems to deal with the roiling waves of sexual ambiguity quite declaratively — he ignores the choreograph dancers in favor of shagging the woman in his trailer — although his placement of a cowskull over her crotch must symbolize some sort of confusion. --> watch "Today's Tonight"
