New York Press reporter Jordan Galloway offers up a few tips for how to keep your beard soft and trim in time for Valentine’s Day. Read a few tips here — including some advice from our friend, the prince of bearded bliss, Pinups Magazine editor, Christopher Schulz.
BEARS, OTTERS, AND WOOKIEES, OH MY! | Blackout was packed at last night’s Pinups release party, and we met some delightful bearded gents who were there to celebrate the 10th edition of Christopher Schulz’s brainchild. Check out the hairy glory below.
PINUPS 10 Launches on Friday @ Blackout (BK), and instead of a traditional flyer Christopher Schulz has created a “newspaper”-style bulletin that outlines the morning routines (and other writings) by some familiar bold-faced-names including Ken Baldwin, Elliott Breeden, AA Bronson, Shannon Michael Cane, Costello Tagliapietra, Evan J Garza, Nathan Hazard, Mark Jeffery, Ryan McNamara, Joshua David Riegel, RIOTBEAR, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, David Tabbert, and Dave White. The flyer is hard to read, at this size, but perhaps Christopher will have printouts @ the event on Friday.

BEARD THE LION | It’s a few months old, but frankly I could watch men rub beards for hours on end — in fact, if you don’t hear from me in the next few hours, it’s because I’m watching Sean Johnson’s YouTube channel on repeat.
If the models look familiar, that’s because they’re our friends (we go way back) Elliot and Christopher. Ahem, that’s Christopher “PINUPS” Schulz to you.
Mr. Johnson is graduate of SMFA (School of the Museum of Fine Arts). Here’s his take on things.
I see the homosexual man with facial hair as a symbol for masculinity that has been stripped from mainstream gay culture (especially American gay culture). The queer bearded man then becomes the icon of masculinity and a representation of what I feel is somewhat lacking in gay culture.
Pinups is getting ready to release its 10th issue in September. It’s a special issue that is a reaction to ideas and expectations about the magazine being porn. Issue 10 opposes the traditional porn story by featuring Scott’s morning routine. Scott wakes up, yawns, goes to the bathroom, showers, shaves, and gets dressed. Check out our interview with Pinups editor, Christopher Schulz, as well some vintage launch party photos.
Issue 10 features 27 black and white images over 56 pages, half of which can be made into a 32″ x 70″ image.

The patron saint of indie queer culture, A.A. Bronson, spoke with New York Magazine about the rise of queer zine culture.
“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” says AA Bronson, director of Printed Matter and co-editor of Queer Zines, an encyclopedic history of the genre released this fall. “The seventies saw the first rise in ’zine culture, and then again in the mid-eighties, when the plain-paper copier made life easier. But the last few years have definitely been a new phenomenon.”
It’s always nice when our favorite queers — Michael Bullock, Paul Mpagi Sepuya, Billy Miller, Christopher Schulz, Felix Burrichter, and Adam Baran — are mentioned in print.
One of our favorite new zines (check out the write up in New York) PINUPS is launching a new issue. More info about the after party after the jump.

The bearded boys were out on Sunday night to celebrate the launch of PINUPS Issue 5 at Rapture Cafe. Christiania sponsored a two-hour free open bar, and PINUPS creator Christopher Schulz encouraged a pants optional atmosphere. Be warned, these images are best enjoyed from the privacy of your home ISP.
A few drinks into the night and I was ready to snap up a shot (or two).
FAG-A-ZINE | Christopher Schulz and I met at the Chelsea Art Book Fair. He was toting copies of his wordless magazine PINUPS in a vintage Louis Vuitton zip-up portfolio.
Pinups is a triannual publication that features (usually) one male nude pictorial per issue. There are no words—just an exaggeration of the classic centerfold. Each magazine exists in book form but can be taken apart and tiled to reveal a 32” x 70” image.
I’d seen him around and had heard about PINUPS from friends. He seemed aloof and uninterested in meeting me. But somehow I convinced him to do an interview. It seemed fitting to meet at Nowhere Bar, where PINUPS launched earlier this year. I wasn’t expecting to find him so affable and forthcoming, but after one margarita on the rocks and little Beyonce on the jukebox he had me hooked.
HN: Hi Chris, I’ve to tell you. I was worried about this interview for two reasons. 1. You seem like a private person. And I thought, “I’m going to ask him questions and he’s going to have one word answers.” 2. You’re a dead-ringer for ex-boyfriend.
CS: I want to see a picture! I like the discussion because I’ve done other interviews and it’s always been in emails. And I find I’m more formal because I can edit myself. I do much better in conversation.
HN: When I first saw you dancing here at Nowhere with your boyfriend, I kind of wanted to punch you in the face a little bit.
CS: Really? You where like “Who is he with?” Oh, that reminds me. I came here on Halloween night, and this guy comes in wearing this outfit—sort of like a fitted onesie piece…kind of like a burlap sack—but fitted. And he has this heart right here and these spikes through him.
And I’m like: “What are you supposed to be?”
He’s like “ Oh I’m um So and So Voodoo Doll.”
And I’m like “Who’s that?”
He’s like: “My ex-boyfriend. He’s here.”
I was so into his costume and he won the contest—which I thought he deserved because it was such a good costume.
