Red Hot Roadtrip is the calendars most daring chapter yet, and its already got fans hot under the collar.From Fire Island to the Fast LaneAfter the runaway success of Red Hot Fire Island, the best-selling calendar in the series 10-year history, Knights knew he needed to up the stakes.Roadtrip is a total departure from what weve done before, he told us in an exclusive interview. Its Americana meets erotic fantasy. Think redheaded rebels in the desert, cowboy mischief, motel lust. Its sweaty, sexy, and it doesnt hold back.The calendar features a brand-new cast of ginger heartthrobs in editorial-style shoots that blur the line between fashion and fantasy. Theres story in every frame, and the visuals feel straight out of a sun-faded road movie with a very NSFW twist.I wanted this one to feel like a film, said Knights. You flip the pages and get pulled deeper into this world of freedom, rebellion, and temptation. Its about capturing that electric moment when youre young, wild, and on the edge of something dangerous.A Decade of Red Hot and Still BlazingWhat started as a bold art project to reframe the narrative around redheaded men has grown into an international sensation. Red Hot has spawned exhibitions, books, and a loyal fanbase who fund and preorder every new release with unwavering enthusiasm.The Kickstarter hit its goal in under 48 hours, Knights said, still slightly in awe. It feels amazing! Im not gonna lie. To have built a brand where our fans support our Kickstarters and buy our calendars every year is just incredible. I didnt expect to be in this position 10 years later.Redheaded men, long mocked in pop culture and media, have become icons of desire thanks to Knights lens. The goal from day one was to flip the stereotype, he said. People used to laugh at gingers. We wanted to make them the fantasy. Now people get it, and they want more.Beyond the Calendar: Red Hot XXLAs Roadtrip barrels toward an October 2025 ship date, Knights is already preparing to launch his most provocative project yet: Red Hot XXL. Part art book, part calendar, part gallery exhibition, XXL explores the cultural fixation on endowmentand fuses it with the allure of the ginger mythos.Were combining two queer obsessions: redheads and size, said Knights. Its not just shock value. Its art, its history, its sex, and its smart. Were bringing together Red Hot alumni, porn stars, fresh amateurs, and a few surprise names. Its going to be big in every way.The project includes 100 full-frontal images and will feature essays from queer writers, adult film legends, and art historians exploring the role of size in gay culture.For centuries, well-endowed men have held this almost mythic status, Knights said. And gingers are already rare and fetishized. So combining the two, its this perfect storm of fantasy and representation.Why It Still MattersFor Knights, the art has always had a mission. Yes, its sexy, bold, and often outrageousbut at its core, Red Hot is about visibility.Its about making people feel seen and sexy, he said. Theres power in celebrating bodies that the world once told us werent desirable. If you can take someone whos been bullied for their freckles or skin tone, and put them on a pedestalthat changes something. It did for me, and I know it has for others.Whether youre in it for the gingers, the art, or just the thrill of watching taboo turned into beauty, Red Hot Roadtrip is more than just a calendarits an ode to freedom, eroticism, and unapologetic self-expression.Preorders are now open, with calendars set to ship in late October. As Knights puts it, Buckle up. This ones going to be wild.Source
