Launched in 2009 for the year ahead, this was the first-ever calendar produced by the editors of BUTT magazine, Gert Jonkers and Jop van Bennekom. True to the publication's signature aesthetic, the calendar traded the clinical for the candid, featuring 61 "international homos" captured through the lens of legendary contributors like Wolfgang Tillmans, Alasdair McLellan, and Bruce LaBruce.
More than a simple time-keeping tool, this artifact is a curated gallery of early 2010s queer photography. Printed on the magazine’s iconic matte paper and organized week-by-week, it served as a high-impact antidote to the "excruciating hangovers and painful resolutions" of New Year’s Day. Today, these pages stand as vintage posters in their own right — a record of the community's global reach and the effortless, gritty glamour that made BUTT the "queen of photography magazines".
