This summer, we present our latest editorial: CALENDAR GIRLS + BOYS, a swimsuit calendar done OC's way! Shot by Marcelo Gomes and styled by Catherine Newell-Hanson, the subjects include a cast of OC friends and family. When he's not moonlighting as a model, Matty Yu, aka Mr. October, works for the ever-mysterious creative agency The Madbury Club.

All-time favorite summer songs? DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince "Summertime"
Describe your most memorable vacation: Papeete, Tahiti. I was visiting family and exploring the wilderness.
