DNA Magazine DNA #268 – Modern Man Vorige editie

Our Modern Man cover star, Evan Peix doesn’t fit neatly into a box: musician, OnlyFans star, volunteer for his local LGBTQIA+ charity, and a fundraiser for an orphanage he supports in Colombia. All this after starting his career on The Mickey Mouse Club in Bolivia. A truly Modern Man!

Justin Jedlica is literally on the cutting edge. He’s had over 1,000 surgical procedures and has no intention of slowing down. Some regard his body augmentations as freaky and unnatural. He likes it that way. He sees his surgeries as his art and his otherworldliness as a kind of liberation from the tyranny of “normal”.

If you’ve seen The Eyes Of Tammy Faye, you’ll recognise Steve Pieters as the gay reverend with AIDS who was interviewed on the televangelist’s show in the mid-’80s. We have a fascinating chat with him in which he recalls his encounter with Tammy Faye and its aftermath.

We also meet Mario Andrion, a fashion model-turned-stand-up comedian, and David Hernandez, musician, OnlyFans content creator, and American Idol survivor! We preview Troye Sivan’s latest film, dissect Benedict Cumberbatch and Kodi Smit-McPhee in The Power Of The Dog and head outback with gay Aussie farmers in Alone Out Here.

We review both Madonna and Kylie, hear opinions on the sexual racism conversation, cheer on Sheldon Riley at Eurovision, check in with our Straight Mate, Jason Arrow, star of Hamilton, chat with BenDeLaCreme, and reveal some cheeky, sexy new fashion from Modus Vivendi and ThePack shot by Blake Yelavich and Wu Fan Love2.

And the Last Word goes to… Reuben Kaye, who reckons Vladimir Putin “looks like a lazy top who doesn't listen to safe words”.
