Physique Mysteries Solved

You viewers often hear me lament my lack of success when searching for the names 

of models and/or photographers when I come across unidentified photos.  Today I am 

presenting some of my successful efforts, and as an added bonus, I actually found 

better copies of some of them.  We start the show with Ed Stevens by Pat Milo.

 

Bob Jensen

Of course Mama Mizer's crystal was a giveaway that this was by AMG,

but I had to do a few searches to learn that the model is Bob Jensen.

 

Kurt Freeman

Bruce of LA took this picture of Kurt Freeman.  I'd like to know

 if he used Butchwax or grease on his hair . . . or both.

 

Ernie Lopez

This turned out to be Ernie Lopez in a photo by the somewhat 

obscure Caruso which appeared in Your Physique magazine.

 

John Tristram

I couldn't identify John Tristram from the profile, but Google did.  While researching this, 

I learned that there are autographed prints of the photo fetching large sums online.

The photographer was George Price, someone I need to look into.

 

Bill Hillgardner

Lou Melancon took this impressive photo of Bill Hillgardner, someone I might 

have recognized if there were more photos of him in circulation.

 

James Grimes

The background once again gave me some help in figuring out that this one was AMG.

It took a bit of work, however, to figure out that the model was James Grimes.

 

Roland Jaux

Although I couldn't find the photographer's name, I was pleased to ID

this handsome fellow as Mr. France 1968, Roland Jaux.

 

Ray Cox

Had the tattoos been a bit clearer, I might have recognized Ray Cox by Ralph Kelly.

 

Dick Marine

Ending the mysteries solved series with Dick Marine by AMG.

 

Peekaboo Underwear Day

I got a request some time ago from viewer Victorian Barbarian for some men 

in underwear with peekaboo views.  (Sorry I took so long, VB, but better 

late than never.)  We start with what appears to be a barracks audiophile 

named Ken with a pipe and a reel-to-reel tape unit.

 

Horseplay

Here we have some horseplay with a bit of a reveal.

 

T-shirt

Those of you who fancy t-shirts as underwear will probably like this solo shot.

 

Bunk Buddies

Mr. Scumbeast called this one Bunk Buddies.

 

Rifleman

This GI seems pleased with his rifle.

 

Fun group

Even though the peekaboo is utterly minimal,

I had to include this fun loving group.

 

Squirrel Shoot

My high school buddies called this type of view "shooting squirrels."

They were referring to girls in miniskirts, though.

 

Trio

While it's easy to get preoccupied with the boxers and the guns,

the footwear in this photo is worth a look.

 

Cowboy Boots

I'd love to know what Timmons was the champ of, but we do know that he posed 

for his picture in cowboy boots and boxers with a partially open fly.

 

Tobruk 1941

This last one isn't a peekaboo fly shot, but we do get a nice view of the soldier 

at left's bottom. The men were Australian troops at Tobruk in 1941.  

Thanks again to Victorian Barbarian for suggesting today's theme.

 

Valentine's Day, Part 1 - Nude Pairs

For Valentine's Day, I'm posting a two part series.  Part one is the usual nudes, and part two is made up of some clothed, but interesting and attractive couples.  We start with a Colt image.

 

Bedroom

Two fine derrieres in this bedroom photo.

 

Valentine Bouquet

\

Von Gloeden photographed these two sharing a bouquet.

 

Staged

This one was obviously staged, but the play fighting is charming.

 

Blanket Buddies

The crossed legs of these two on a blanket tell us something.

 

Not models?

I get the feeling that our last nude couple were not professional models.

 

Valentine's Day, Part 2 - G-Rated, but Special

Part two of our Valentine set features some interesting G-rated photos.

Yes, there were gay hippies.  I knew quite a few.

 

Tchaikovsky and Kotek

The gentleman at right is the great composer Pyotr Ilych Tchaikovsky, and his companion 

is Iosif Kotek, a violinist with whom he had a tumultuous romance with in the 1870s.

 

Snapshot

This snapshot from the 1950s is heartwarming.

 

1975

I hope the two men in this 1975 photo lived to see the day they could really get married.

 

Princes

These two are Prince Valdemar of Denmark (left) and Prince George of Greece.   Valdemar was George's uncle, and the two are widely believed to have been long term lovers.  They both married women and had children, but it was clear to most observers that they cared most for each other.

 

The Best

I saved what I think is the absolute best Valentine picture for last.  They are simply beautiful.

And if any of you digital sleuths want to tell me it's AI, don't.  For once, I don't want to know.
