I’m a pin up or a dapper dude

Strike a pose, gorgeous—we want you in the spotlight!

We’re building a coast-to-coast celebration of Canadian pin-up style and need fabulous folks from every province and territory to help bring it to life.

We ask for 6 high-quality photos that match one of our current themed editions (trust us—they’re juicy). Bonus points if your shoot captures something unique about your region: Alberta’s Badlands? Nova Scotia’s shoreline? You’re speaking our language.

We also include a mini interview and short bio with every feature, so bring the sass, the class, and your social media handles!
