Queerguru knew that it would take more than a Global Lockdown to stop Liam Campbell the intrepid Editor of ELSKA to stop producing his queer photo zine. So in a brief lull last Summer he took a trip to Dublin, which we have always considered one of THE most friendly Capital cities.
Irish men are not just hot (with an exceptionally high number of redheads) but extremely friendly and welcoming. Even if you are not looking to hook up, Irish gay men will always go out of their way to ensure that you fall in love with their city/country and possibly them too.
Campbell beautifully captures their smiles and laughter, and even the sun chose to shine for him And regarding other stereotypes of a conservative and Catholic Ireland, the images reveal rather a lot of nudity, more than the average Elska edition, proving that this is a city full of freedom, frivolity, and fun. This could possibly be Queerguru’s favorite edition yet
A special limited-edition companion zine called Elsa Ekstra Dublin’ is also available, containing six more guys and their stories for whom there weren’t enough pages for in the main mag, plus behind-the-scenes tales, and bonus outtakes. ‘Elska Dublin’ is 196 pages and is available from a select group of shops around the world as well as for orders online from the Elska website. The list of stockists and details of the subscription service can also be found on the Elska website: https://www.elskamagazine.com/
