Brace Yourselves: The Red Hot Calendar Is Back for Its 5th Year

Now in its fifth year—with 11 exhibitions, four calendars, two coffee table books, and donations of over £50,000 to various charities under its belt—the global phenomenon known as Red Hot returns, bringing you the hottest British ginger lads in the buff for 2018. This year the calendar (by photographer Thomas Knights and art director Elliott James Frieze) raises funds for The Ben Cohen StandUp foundation, a charity that helps connect communities and supports those doing real-world work to eradicate bullying, especially in the LGBTQ community.

"At Red Hot we want people to feel proud of what makes them different. So, to celebrate the launch of the Red Hot British Boys 2018 calendar, we have teamed up with Chappy, the app that aims to challenge the perception of gay dating," says Elliott James Frieze.

The innovative partnership with Chappy has allowed this year’s calendar to be interactive. On the first of each month, users can access the models’ behind-the-scenes interview video on chappyapp.com by entering a special access code, printed on the page. The calendar is available to buy right now, and follow the gingers on Facebook, here.
