Spetters!

Spetters! challenges beauty ideals within the queer community with a wink. In this sexy calendar, queer men, transmasculine, and non-binary individuals shine. In doing so, the ultimate symbol of beauty ideals – the glossy sexy calendar – is deconstructed and redefined. Visually inspired by queer artists from the past century, who played with desire and idealised images in their work, Spetters! celebrates the diversity of bodies and identities within the queer community with a playful and subversive approach.
