As the curtain rises at the Magic Mike premiere in Londons Swanky Mayfair hotel one could be forgiven for thinking (as the Dream Idols walk out to do their thing) “OK its a movie about strippers so they hired a bunch of strippers whats the big deal?” Well Big Deal (and excuse the pun) it was, because the Dream Idols are not your average group of hunks taking their kit off. These boys have fast grown into the role of the Nations Strippers, the Spice (Girls)Boys of stripping.
It was evident far before they landed in the ITV This Morning studio with Channing Tatum that these boys had more than just sex appeal going for them. Practically every major rag had them in for a peek and they did not disappoint. What came across and what will ultimately be seen as the Genius of Bari Bacco (The founder of the Dream Idols) is that these boys where not put together simply because of their pecks or biceps but because of their characters, personality and charm. If the Monkies went into stripping they would be the Dream Idols. Not your usual bunch of snooty, chiseled self absorbed hunks, but 5 cheeky chappies one for every taste from your Latin lover to your Essex Boy there seems to be a Dream Idol to fit.
As the crowed gathered for on the streets around the Mayfair Hotel in London it was evident that some had come just to see their Dream Idol. ‘The Idolets’ [The name given by the Dream Idols to their fans] had been tweeting in force before the premiere. They wanted to see their favorite Dream Idol in the flesh and they made it clear to the press and those around what they had come to see. This in turn caused the already frenzied press to follow the noise that led directly to the Dream Idols.
The ‘paps’ are no fools, they need to eat too and none of them wanted to go back to their editors without a picture of the Dream Idols in hand. Dream Idol mania was now in full flow and it seemed most of the celebrities hungry for any exposure that is in the offing wanted a picture with the flavour of the night too. If it was not apparent already it soon became clear to everyone that the Dream Idols are a hit!
As the Paps scream for their attention and the celebrities line up for the Dream Idol photo call there is no pouting or preening from the Dream Idols and this perhaps is their real charm. There are just wide eyed smiles as 5 down to earth regular thoroughly English lads (all except our Latin lover Lorenz) Enjoy the fun that is the day. The more they are themselves the more the press, fans and celebrities take to them.
LiongsGate must have been patting themselves on the bank with glee. Whatever they paid for the Dream Idols, wasn’t enough. These boys have given them publicity way above and beyond what I’m sure even they expected.
Perez Hilton and other media notables seem almost surprised and taken back by the everyday charm and appeal of the Dream Idols. After all they are strippers right? Nope….In a time of financial depression when all the news seems to be bad news the Dream Idols represent a little light hearted fun. A moment to forget your troubles for young and old and enjoy a good old English knees up with a bit of flesh involved (Plus they choose to be referred to as Glamour dancers). Yes even the boys like em. Why because they are just like them with a few more abs showing here and there. These boys have something many people can get with at this time.
So what lies ahead for the Dream Idols? Good Question. These boys can go further than anything like them has gone before, that is for sure. I would not be surprised to see them on an American chat show or providing cameos in Hollywood movies.
The trick with the Dream Idols is that they unlike many that have gone before them, can be seen doing quite a few things. For example This Saturday they will be part of Tamer Hassans celebrity football event. The match will take place on Saturday, 21st July at 12pm at Imber Court, Metropolitan Police Sports Club, in Surrey, followed by a dinner dance and auction in the evening. An event filled with celebs and stars from Film, TV and Sport. Point proven that the Dream Idols are viewed a little differently to many that have gone before them.
The skies seem to be the limit for Dream Idols: Billy, Tommy, Ollie, Lorenz and Lewis. Hats of to Bari Bacco and his team for a job well done!
