Hairy Derriere Day


A few weeks ago I ran a hairy men series, and I promised our friend Albert the Gay Belgian 
that I would put on a hairy derriere series, so here it is.  We start with an 
unknown model from the March, 1984 edition of Honcho.

 

Jeff Cameron


This is supposed to be Jeff Cameron.



 

Sideburns


The sideburns are a secondary element here.

 

Lou Marshall


Here we see Lou Marshall by AMG.



 

Colt


I think this is from Jim French's early days at Colt.

 

Happy Trails


Is there such a thing has happy trails on the back?



 

Earl Lawrence


That's Earl Lawrence at right with an unknown (to me, anyway) friend in the AMG shower.

 

Hanging in the Dunes


This guy is sort of hanging out in the dunes.

 

Laura Ashley


If I haven't already posted this guy and his Laura Ashley wallpaper, I should have.

 

Mateus?


Is that a bottle of Mateus in the fridge door?

 

Questionable


This was listed as vintage on a dodgy website,
but I'm including it despite my doubts.
The reason should be obvious.

Blogger Favorites II - Early 20th Century


For the second installment of my favorite photos by type, we look at the early 20th Century.
We start with a French physical education photo that might be by Prof. Desbonnet.

 

Leopold Mercier


These two wrestlers were photographed by Leopold Mercier in 1900.

 

Swimmers


I go goofy for vintage men in striped bathing suits,
but I wouldn't mind seeing Mr. Left without his.
Can I have it both ways, please?

 

Sturdy and Confident


This isn't the best photo in any technical sense, but the sturdy
 build of the man and his confidence come shining through.

 

Atelier 1910


All I know about this one is that it came labeled "Atelier 1910."

 

Maurice Deriaz


When I last posted this 1902 Hercules themed photo, I mentioned that it might have been one of the Deriaz Brothers.  Turns out that it was Maurice Deriaz with an unexpected mustache.

 

Two sides


 


This is one of those "best of both worlds" photos that gets front and back in one shot.

Unexpected choice


More than a few of you are probably looking at this and wondering how it made a blogger favorites series.  Well, there's something about the happy looking fisherman that makes want to know him.  This working man is obviously comfortable in his own skin and exudes a special kind of masculinity.

 

Socks


When I first saw a thumbnail of this one, I thought he was wearing gladiator sandals.
On closer examination, however, I saw they were striped socks and fell in love.

 

Tumblr Snag


The last image in this round of early 19th Century favorites is from an long disappeared tumblr 
blog called Antique Erotic.  It was a very well curated operation, and I miss it terribley.  
I'm sure there's a Classical reference there somewhere, but it's lost on me.

Models Named Tom


Today's physique models have one thing in common besides being attractive and well built men.  
They are all named Tom.  I'm posting them in alphabetical order by photographer,
and we start with Tom Douglas by AMG's Bob Mizer.

 

Bruce of LA


Tom Mathews went on an outing to the California desert 
for this photo by Bruce Bellas, aka Bruce of LA.

 

John Graham


British photographer John Graham photographed Tom Knott (left) with an unknown model.
I posted this six years ago and thought it was worth a repeat.  I think they are beautiful.

 

Kris Studio


Chuck Renslow of Kris Studio photographed several 
models named Tom, and this one is Tom Muscolino.

 

Dave Martin


Tom West posed for Dave Martin in 1965 in a photo
 that seems better each time I look at it.

 

Scott Masters


Tom Darrin looks serious in this Scott Masters photo.

 

Metecue


We get a nice happy trail and a smile in this Metecue photo of Tom Pryor.

 

Pat Milo


Not that long ago, I posted a different Pat Milo photo of Tom Nevins.
I wish I had more than just two images of him.

 

Troy Saxon


Tom Pollack posed for Troy Saxon in the woods with a bamboo staff.

 

Unknown Photographer


I couldn't do a series on models named Tom without including Tom De Carlo.  I'm using this unattributed photo for two reasons.  First, I'm hoping someone knows the photographer,
and second, it's one of only a few photos of him that I haven't already posted.
