DNA Magazine Issue #100

DNA Magazine is a perennial favorite around our house, and the latest issue hit our mailbox on Monday. The cover photo, shot by Pedro Virgil features two sexy Aussie lifeguards in their red speedos. (Unfold the cover and three more join them. Pull out the poster in back and there are two more!)

Peter, Jason, Tom, Liam, Shane, Josh and Rob.


The boys (L to R): Peter, Jason, Tom, Liam, Shane, Josh and Rob.

DNA Magazine is reporting today on their blog about the typo that has resonated amongst the gay blogosphere -- even Hunk du Jour was not immune!

Photographer Troy Phillips (previously featured) sent the DNA team a note about the longtime misunderstanding after model Evan Wade won the title of February Mate of the Month. But his note unmasked Evan Wade for who he truly is...

Evan WADLE!

Evan told DNA, "I actually think its pretty funny how my name is mostly misspelled as Evan Wade instead of Evan Wadle, and that somehow I'm from Britain, or that im a trainer in New York City at Equinox Gym." Evan (who is from New Jersey) rolls with the punches and doesn't seem to mind his alias, though he may want to reconsider telling the gay magazine that one of his nicknames from childhood was "The Wad."

After the jump is our exclusive interview with upcoming DNA Covermodel Calisto. After pitching the idea while on a gig at New York Pride last year, Calisto heard that they liked the idea (and the photo spread shot by Chris Hager) and that he landed the cover!

We initially heard about Calisto after one of our readers, Walter, talked to him at a meet-and-greet at a local bar. Walter was so impressed with how sweet and friendly Calisto was he sent us a note suggesting a feature... and who were we to argue?

After the jump we chat about making it into DNA, the five photographers we should be paying more attention to, and how growing up as a nerdy kid in North Carolina helped him realize he wanted to help troubled teens.

Stunning model Skye Boyland appears on this month's cover of DNA Magazine. The Australian natural bodybuilder owns up about his workout secrets (two to three hours a day, broken into three sessions!), showing his bum in a photoshoot, and how he feels about gay men ogling him.

Well, shoot -- looks like Ryan Barry is having the best week ever. Just named the new, um, face of Armani Exchange Underwear -- and simultaneously featured on the cover of DNA Magazine. With a sexy beau by his side, to boot! If he plays his cards right, Ryan may just be accelerating into superstardom for 2008!

...is there anyone else you think is on the brink of greatness?

DNA #95 Model Vincent

I was coming home on Monday, and got concerned as I was walking towards my mailbox and saw smoke curling out of the keyhole in the box... I opened up the mailbox (smoke pouring from it) and pulled out the contents. "Ah," I thought, "it's just the new issue of DNA Magazine."

Photographer Pedro Virgil took these photos of model Vincent Gough for the magazine on Lake Macquarie. Vincent is a former Irish rugby player (and you know how we love them!) He's in fantastic shape -- and knows how to show off swim trunks.

Patrick, DNA Covermodel

We just got the hot new issue of Australian import DNA Magazine in the mail, and we're delighted to see the work of Troy Phillips and Akimitsu Sadoi on the cover. They are the photography team who got these fantastic shots of covermodel Patrick -- who is absolutely tantalizing in those 2xist briefs.

I always look forward to this time of the month!

Model Search Winner Dennis on DNA #93

Issue #93 of DNA Magazine is (hopefully) somewhere over the Pacific Ocean right now, en route to our happy hands in Seattle -- but thankfully e-mail is a lot quicker! Our friends over at DNA sent these advance photos from the issue, including two behind-the-scenes shots you won't find in the magazine!
