Myselfixion Day

One of my favorite bloggers, myselfixion, is back at it on tumblr with his usual eclectic offerings.  Those now include frontal nudity as tumblr has finally relented on their ill-conceived ban of such.

We start a series of 12 borrowed items with a fellow in the shower in December of 1960.

 

January/February 1973

No name for the publication, but this was page 27 of the January/February 1973 edition.

 

Hitchcock

Why am I suddenly thinking of Alfred Hitchcock?

 

Happy shaver

Thank goodness he's leaving the mustache alone.

 

Pipe smoker

Some guys think pipe smokers are sexy,

but those shorts steal the show in this one.

 

Transactional

For some reason, I think there might have been a financial transaction involved here.

 

Relaxing

For this guy relaxing means a smoke, a drink, and sitting on the couch in his drawers.

The dog is probably hoping he drops the drink so he can lap it up.

 

World War I?

This one resembles some World War I U.S. Army Signal Corps photos in my collection.

 

Reclining

1939

I often find good underwear photos on myselfixion, and I really 

like this one from 1939.  A nice shirt like that is always a bonus.

 

Brothers?

Is it just me, or do these two look like brothers?

 

December 1963

Finishing with an item stamped December 1963.  The book cover says "Skins."

Pretty advanced for '63.  Visit myselfixion at:

Rod Crowther Day

It's Rod Crowther day, and we start with this unknown 

model who appears in a number of his pictures.

 

Joe Priest

Rod Crowther used a striped curtain for a backdrop in this photo of Joe Priest.

 

Joe Seivold

College lacrosse star Joe Seivold did a memorable photo shoot with Rod Crowther.

He didn't pose frontally nude, alas, but he impresses anyway.

 

Jack Craig and Bill Labette

Bleached

Ken Steele

Ken Steele looks serious perched on that rock.

 

Looking Skyward

The natural light is nice in this shot of an unknown looking skyward.

 

David Allen

David Allen is either getting in or getting out of his tightie whities.

 

Strader

Ending the Rod Crowther series with a model only shown as Strader.

 

Sweden Day

Today we have an all Swedish series, starting with a glacial valley lakeside scene.

Do you think the man in the background is trying to get our attention?

 

Text

My source only said this was from a textbook,

but anatomical or art anatomy seem likely.

 

Fridtjof Nansen

The top photo is a selfie by Swedish explorerer, scientist, and sportsman Fridtjof Nansen.

He sent it age age 67 to a lady he was trying to woo.  Below we see him at about age 30.

 

Shower

I don't have a date for this, but the plumbing looks 1930-40.

 

Fishermen

These three Swedes are demonstrating the best way to fish.

 

Mass swim

This large group of swimmers is a Swedish military unit.

 

1913

Here we see Sweden's combined swimming and water polo national team from 1913.

 

Relaxing

This is how Swedish men relax in the sauna.

 

Polar Bear

This brave polar bear had his picture taken in January 1902

at one of Stockholm's floating bath houses.

 

Horsemen

Closing the Swedish series with a group of cavalrymen I borrowed from Bob's Naked Guys.
