Hopefully, they can bring a good omen for the new year.
Please get us out of 2020!
When we came into this year, we can't say that anyone really anticipated what was in store. A global pandemic that is keeping us all quarantine, a reckoning around race and social justice. It's been a lot! All with the backdrop of a truly bonkers presidential election. The only thing that keeps us going is the fact that at some point it will be over and we can go back to some sort of semblance of reality. Ideally, that's by the end of this year and 2021 will bring with it good tidings. And, well naked redheads.
Since 2014, Red Hot has been putting out imagery of ginger men in support for various causes. They released a book, had a traveling exhibit, and recently have been dropping a variety of calendars. Their latest: Red Hot 2021, launched on Kickstarter this week and is already fully-funded.
"Journey deep into this heavenly escape, each scene more alluring than the last, where 12 beautiful ginger boys get back to nature and bare all," the Kickstarter reads of the Heavenly Creatures-inspired project. "This year we play with masculine and feminine themes, fragile petals brush up against soft skin on hard muscle, innocence meets sexual desires, forbidden fantasies finally find the light... and only love exists. This is a secret world. But we invite you in. Come and see for yourself."
The full-frontal calendar, which was conceptualized and shot by Thomas Knights, features Andrew Offen, Sam How, and Arran among others. The description says that though the preview images contain flowers and censorship bars, obscuring the view of the models, the actual magazine will not. A portion of proceeds will go to It's In the Bag, a testicular cancer awareness campaign, contributing to the over $80,000 the calendar has previously raised for various causes.
You can fund the calendar to receive your own copy at the Kickstarter.
But there's also more. If you happen to be a redhead and looking to get naked, Knights is doing a model search to help round out the book. "We're looking for athletic individuals with an awesome personality to match, and of course natural red hair," they say on the search. Hopefully one day Red Hot doesn't just mean "athletic" but here we are! Models must be based in London and available shoot this month. Full details are on the Kickstarter.
