But officially the magazine doesn't talk about its gay readers. The women who work at the magazine know that. "I'm guessing at least 25 percent of readers are gay men. "Playgirl has a huge gay readership," said Oklahoma-born Shafer. But the fact remains that Shafer, who is handsome and muscular - his current day job is as Richard Dreyfuss' personal trainer - was chosen as a sex object by a magazine aimed at women. "Man of the Year," now playing at the Lumiere, purposely blurs truth and fiction. "Gay men are so often portrayed as drag queens or killers but hardly ever as the guy next door." "Making a comedy, a satire of the media, I hoped to set up a point of view we don't see in a lot of gay- themed films from Hollywood," Shafer said. Shafer, 33, calls his movie a "mock documentary."
