Paper Magazine is hosting …an open casting call for real life gay men using one of our favorite apps – Grindr.

That’s right kids, now instead of using Grindr to find love – yes, LOVE, you can use it as your next big break with the fashion photographer of your dreams. CLICK HERE for all details, but in the meantime here are 7 ways to help you prepare for your Paper Mag photoshoot.

1. For starters, if you’re not on Grindr – get on Grindr!

Only if you’re single and/or in an open relationship and/or your boyfriend has approved.

2. Headline-making

You must screenshot your Grindr profile, so maybe just spruce-up your headline a bit – your momma might see this. Your daddy already has.

3. Face pic?

​The answer is always yes, but especially in this case because you need to submit face and full body shots.

4. DL no-more

If you’re on the DL, this casting probably isn’t for you, because you need to supply all your receipts including Instagram and Twitter accounts.

5. Be you

Grindr is full of millions of men, be different and unique.

6. Be proud

Grindr is also full of men of all shapes and sizes – show off dat ass ...if you got one. If not, that’s ok too.

7. Be gay!

Paper Magazine is on Grindr for a reason - looking for everthing from twinks to bears, leather to lace. Show-off your special version of gay.
