Looking for a stocking filler that is inspirational, funny and features some of Dublin’s hotspots not to mention a near naked man? Course you do!
Club promoter, fitness fanatic and general man about town Paul Walsh has joined forces with Aware to front a calendar with a difference. ‘The Paul Walsh CaLEANdar’ is a collaboration between Paul and three friends - Gianni Clifford, Colin Brady and Philip White – and with backgrounds in music, graphic design, video production and photography, the calendar and its accompanying promo video could give any glossy big budget production a run for its money.
Clad in retro y-fronts and displaying a vast array of impressive tattoos, Paul poses up a storm in a variety of Dublin locations including a very cold and wintery looking Sandymount strand.
But it’s not all bums and biceps – Paul also gives pearls of positive wisdom on every page and all proceeds of the calendar will go to Aware to help those who are fighting depression.

The money shot...
Speaking about the calendar Paul said “I had previously studied Philosophy and I’ve always had a keen interest in how people think. Depression and mental health is something that needs to be spoken about, especially amongst my own age group, and those suffering need support. This calendar is a novel and fun way of us trying to help our cause and will hopefully spark some conversations about it.”
The talented foursome have also created a hilarious parody of Brad Pitt’s now infamous Chanel No. 5 ad to give you a little taster of what’s in store inside.
The ‘caLEANdar’ is available to buy from Tropical Popical on Dublin’s South William Street, Crackbird on Dame Street and The Bernard Shaw as well as online via his Facebook page facebook.com/PaulWalshCaLEANdar
