Meat @ Cox Bar Paris

To mark the release of its 16th anniversary book and the second edition of meat Paris, the cult gay fanzine is taking up residence at COX and occupying the walls of the bar.

Since 2010, meat has offered an intimate and empathetic look at everyday masculinity. The project originated with British photographer Adrian Lourie, who had a simple desire: to photograph the men he found attractive but rarely saw represented in gay media.

Sixteen years later, the spirit remains the same: "real guys," of all ages and body types, photographed as they are and celebrated as the pin-ups they are. Men encountered in real life, with their personality, their charm, and that little something that catches the eye.

Shot in apartments, hotel rooms, or the models' own homes, Meat's photos are natural, intimate, and largely unretouched. It's a way of letting each man take center stage in front of the camera, showcasing what makes him unique.

Still independent and self-published, meat has built up a collection of fanzines, books, and calendars over the years, complemented by exhibitions and parties. His new book, The First Sixteen Years, brings together archival images, previously unseen photographs, and new works to celebrate this ongoing adventure.
From the pages of the fanzine to the walls of the COX, the Meat pin-ups are waiting for you. Come discover the images, reconnect with friends, and share a drink to celebrate sixteen years of glances, encounters, and irresistible guys.

See you on Thursday, November 5, 2026 to celebrate 16 years of meat at COX!
