Heihei Yau, Mr Gay Hong Kong 2010, is just about the cutest thing I've ever laid my eyes on - and that includes Pikachu, Hello Kitty and McDull COMBINED.
That's why I was so keen on creating a calendar starring Heihei - so people can stare at him all day, every day, and be happy.
We did a shoot based on the title, "A Day in the Life of Heihei." We picked several locations around the city. The shoot took three days to complete. Van Tengga did the photography.
Funds ran dry, though, in preparing Heihei for Mr. Gay World. We prioritized other projects, such as ordering Tongzhi Tsai t-shirts for sale to raise money for the campaign against homophobic bullying in schools. And so the Heihei calendar project unfortunately fell by the wayside.
I am personally in love with the photography - and with the cute-as-a-button subject, of course! That's why I thought it fitting to publish the intended selection for the calendar in remembrance of Heihei, just before Jimmy Wong - the current Mr Gay Hong Kong - leaves for Mr Gay World in Johannesburg, South Africa.
This is the first time ever that this set of photos are published all together. It is our hope that, through these, we are able to share Heihei's rare brand of joie de vivre to the rest of the world.
ENJOY.
