HAIRY MAGAZINE had always been a dream for Torres Ibarzo Studio. And after more than ten years conducting professional photoshoots and organizing the iconic POPair Party (Barcelona’s most iconic gay-bear party), Alberto (Torres)andCharlie (Ibarzo) decided to take a step and make that dream come trou.

HAIRY was born out of the Studio’s desire to celebrate our passion for male body hair, using the lenses of our cameras to capture the energy, freedom, and boldness we observed among attendees at parties in Barcelona or gatherings in Sitges. Right from there, among the friends and dancers at the POPair Party, emerged the stars of the first exclusive photographs that, along with texts and artistic collaborations from creators aligned with the Torres Ibarzo universe, formed the first issue of HAIRY MAGAZINE, then known as “The POPair Fanzine.“

However, HAIRY became so much more. Torres Ibarzo Studio’s passion for homoerotic photography magazines from the 70s and 80s fueled the creation of subsequent issues. The need to celebrate the male body in all its forms, colors, and expressions (especially tthe hairiest ones) eventually transformed the magazine into a full-fledged statement of intent. HAIRY serves as a showcase for those who, like us, adore male body hair. And it’s precisely this audience, which grows exponentially day by day, issue by issue, that has turned each edition of the magazine into a collector’s item
