It is the heart of Summer & this is the time of year most of us in this community find ourselves single & ready to show off the amazing bodies we've been working on all Winter. It is also the time where beauty is most visible and celebrated. With the intention to challenge the common consciousness & to stir conversation on what is real beauty, we expanded our annual 'Most Beautifullest Man Alive' from one person to our list of an exceptional ten. With these '10 Most Beautifullest Men Alive' we allowed them the space to define what beauty is to them. Pg 10
