Pat Milo Day

It's Pat Milo day, and we start with Ron Gregory sitting on some steps.

 

John Davidson

Some fine beef on display in this rear view of John Davidson.

And no, this is not the TV actor and singer of the same name.

 

John Adams

I've seen this model listed as both John Adams and John Quincy Adams.

 

Tony Sabatino

We get a nice peekaboo from Tony Sabatino.

 

Larry Pearson

The angle Pat Milo used to pose Larry Pearson gives us a different sort of view.

 

Chuck Baker

In our second outdoor photo of the series we see Chuck Baker in a wooded area.

 

Zofe Larrey

I somehow find myself imagining that Zore Larrey is pulling on a giant 

industrial lever in one of those 1930-ish dystopian European movies.

 

Bob Baxter

Pat Milo only used the giant hand prop from this photo of Bob Baxter a few times.

 

Cherokee

Here we have a rear view of Everett Lee "Cherokee" Jackson.

 

Billy Chapman

Finishing the Pat Milo set with Billy Chapman doing a Man of Steel pose.

 

Skinny Dipping Day

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Beer Barrels

These men may have found a good way to keep their beer cool.

 

Team

Enlarge this one if you can to enjoy the bulges a bit more.

Mr. Third from Right has a bit smile for us.

 

Duo

The guy at right seems shy, but then he does seem to have more to show.

 

Glutes Galore!

Instead of putting my favorite of the day at the beginning or end of the set, I'm planting this one in the middle.  Friend and frequent contributor Dee Exx sent me this fabulous photo of Japanese sailors about to go for a swim in their fundoshi.  Just look at those fine bottoms!  Thanks, Dee!

 

Off to the right

Most of these skinny dippers appear to be looking off to the right.

 

Latvia

This undated photo was made in Latvia, and two of the men have great tans.

 

1903 Swedes

My source says these are Swedes from 1903.

 

1950

Stauch's Bath House on Coney Island was the setting for this out of focus 1950 photo.

 

Dock or Barge

These clever fellows are making a floating dock (or is it a barge?) out of empty oil drums.

 

Roy Blakey - Variety

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Roy Blakey expanded his horizons beyond dancers and stage actors.  

His work began to feature more masculine models and he pushed his style boundaries somewhat, 

even going so far as to do photo sets for Honcho, Mandate, and After Dark.  Today I will feature 

a mix of both his newer and previous styles with emphasis on the new.  The picture 

above appeard in a 1980 French magazine called.Des Hommes Des Reves

 

Lynes Influence?

The cropping here reminds me of George Platt Lynes, and it marks 

something of a departure from Roy Blakey's usual style.

 

Hands and Chest

The hands and hairy chest really stand out on this Roy Blakey model.

 

Honcho I

This Honcho centerfold from the early 1980s showed a shift in Roy Blakey's style.

 

Darryl Robinson

I find this 1971 photo of dancer Darryl Robinson to be quite striking.

 

Gigolos

Roy Blakey published a somewhat edgy coffee table book called Gigolos in 1981.

I was not able to find a name for this bearded model.

 

1981

This 1981 photo shows a return to Roy Blakey's early style,

but the double peekaboo is a new element.

 

Honcho II

Joe Porcelli posed for the second photo from Honcho in today's set.

 

Surly

Eric Ryan appeared in a Mandate photo spread in 1980 called "Surly."

 

Greg

Closing with this 1975 photo of a model listed only as "Greg" which was attached 

to one of Roy Blakey's many obituaries and tributes.  Mr. Blakey's beloved niece 

Keri Pickett made a point to mention his male nude photography in her own

 memorial, and she asked the mainstream press to follow suit.
