The Hot Damn! Issue: Bodies of Work 2023

Through the years, there persisted a culture that has conditioned us to put the fantasy of a tall, chiseled, rich and noble, well-bred man as the arbiter and very definition of the “ideal” and the “perfect”. This has long been embedded in our collective psyche and has especially been made evident in the way mainstream media painted the picture of who to fawn over.

But beyond the frenzy over leading men, prince charmings, oiled headline-hogging boytoys in towering billboards on EDSA, and eventually, thirst-traps easily accessible on social media peopled by figures of those who seem to be infallible denizens of Olympus, we have seen definitions of beauty slowly evolve and get dismantled to reveal admiration that goes beyond skin-deep—extending beneath the surface.

For The Hot Damn! Issue, we present ALL men in their finest forms–not only looking their best but also making relevant use of their creative pursuits more so, the platforms that have chosen them, with merits that transcend shape, skin color, background, nationality, industry, and gender identity and expression.

Headlining this year’s list is model, actor, and now creative entrepreneur David Chua, whose education and evolution as an artist has traversed his life in front of the camera, and now, even behind it as producer, director, and CEO of Dark Carnival Productions.
