MEET THE HEADLINER! Jesus Gonzalez is a magnetic hot piece of ass that’s here on Earth to turn up and get after it. With his great big muscles and perfect structure, Jesus is guaranteed to be the best dancer at any party. He is a romantic little cutie pie who can be both BIG and little spoon. Known to be the greatest cuddler (As stated by the 2003 Tokyo Japan cuddle Olympics) Jesus isn’t afraid of comfort and coziness. His music makes people levitate and speak in tongues due to the ancient incantations that live (Subliminally) in his lyrics. Jesus doesn’t wear cologne, rather Jesus wears essential oils and smells good ALWAYS. Showers in hot water, doesn’t like killing spiders and likes eating snacks under the stars. Also can summon UFOs.
