Underwear Day, Part 1 - Civilians

It's underwear day on the blog, and it's a two parter.  We start the civilian component of the show with two cuddly guys.  And yes, a T-shirt is considered underwear in some circumstances.

 

The morning after

"Did we do what I think we did last night?  God, were we ever drunk."

 

Hairy

I think this hairy dude is working out in his undies.

 

Posers

Mr. Scumbeast sent me this with the caption: 

 Bob and Ted prevail upon a passer-by to take photographs of their romantic tryst.

 

Come hither

Whether he knows it or not, this guy is giving us a come hither look.

 

Underwear Day Intermission - Ads

"No, no.  It's really this long.  These damn underpants just make it look small."

 

Hmmmm . . .

I wonder if there were enough guys concerned about their low hangers 

knocking into their knees to keep this company in business.

 

Underwear Day, Part 2 - Military Men

The second half of the men in underwear set features military men.  I don't know why this guy bothered to roll down his tightie whities to get more sun.  He's probably on a ship in the middle of the ocean with a bunch of other guys who are quite used to nudity.

 

Drinking buddies

I think the two clothed guys may be working at getting Mr. Middle drunk 

so they can take advantage of him.  They've already got him down to his underwear.

 

For some reason the two men in the bunks are intensely interested in the guy taking off his pants.

 

Eye contact

The guy in the door of the tent looks like he's shaking the sand out of his pants.

 

Quartet

The last underwear post of the day shows four sailors, probably here in Hawaii.

One of them seems to be in a swim suit, and they all seem quite friendly.

 

Everyone loves a sailor

Familiar

I keep thinking I should recognize this model.  Hopefully someone 

will ID him because I'd really like to see more.

 

Real sailor?

The uniform top this model is sitting on might be his own, 

or it might be a physique photographers wardrobe prop.

Pair

Our only duo is also our only color shot of the day.

 

Lei man

The lei and palm trees imply Hawaii, but something tells me this was made in California.

 

Wayne Pickett

A quick Google turned up an name, Wayne Picket, and a photographer, AMG for this one.

 

Milo?

I'm getting a Pat Milo vibe from this one.

 

Wishing for more

This is yet another sailor who leaves me wishing for more,

both in terms of no posing strap and different photos.

 

A real one?

If that jumper is British, as I suspect, this might be a real sailor because several of the English physique photographers were known to recruit actual servicemen to pose for them

 

PaJaMa Day, Part 1 - Assorted Photographs

Today's PaJaMa series will be a three parter, and part one consists of some assorted photos, starting with this unknown (at least to me) model sitting against a wall on a dropcloth.

 

John Butler

The pose is interesting in this picture of John Butler.

 

Jack Fontan

 I don't have an exact date for this PaJaMa photo of Jack Fontan, but it is probably late 1940s.  

I do, however, have a location, Fire Island.

PaJaMa Day, Part 2 - Ted and Chuck Reprise

A while back I posted a PaJaMa series of photos of star crossed lovers Ted Starkowski and Chuck Howard.  Since then I have found three more photos from what has become known as "The Stairwell Session," and the make up part two of today's set.  We start with Chuck Solo.

 

Through the spindles

This one brings some interesting thoughts to mind.

 

Together

And here are Ted and Chuck together.  I posted a similar photo of the two in the same spot in the stairwell a few years ago, but this one is different and more charming in a way.

 

PaJaMa Day, Part 3 - The Smithsonian Donation

After her husband Jared French's death Margaret Hoening French donated several boxes of PaJaMa Collective photographs to the Smithsonian Instution.  Many of these are either "down and dirty" proofs that were used as studies for art or quick snapshots of mediocre quality.  Some however, are either artistic or of important individuals.  Part three of our PaJaMa series features some of the latter, starting with this beautiful 1939 image of a man in a semi-outdoor shower.

 

George Platt Lynes

This is the great George Platt Lynes, a photographer 

of male nudes who was not afraid to pose nude himself.

 

Unknown

No model's name was given for this one.
