Honcho Day

The first male nude magazine other than Playgirl that I ever bought was Honcho.  I got it 

in a now defunct drugstore on Royal Street in the French Quarter in the summer of '78.  

Today we'll look at ten pages from 1978 to 1985, starting with this guy whom I've

 seen referred to only as Frank.  He appeared in August of 1985.

 

Roy Dean Ad

Sometimes the ads in Honcho were almost as good as the features.

This one for the great Roy Dean was in the June, 1978 issue.

 

Steve Cole

Steve Cole was billed as a hunk on a log in December, 1985.

 

Gunther Keller

Colt produced the photo of Gunther Keller that stretched over two pages in October, 1978.

 

Inset

They may or may not have stolen the concept for this 

inset from Playgirl.  It appeared in February of 1985,

 

Subscription page

Even the subscription form page in April, 1979 was well decorated.

 

Rear view

I feel like I should know the model in this derriere 

photo from December of 1985, but I don't.

 

Falcon Ad

Jim Fisk is the main attraction in this unusually subdued Falcon ad from July, 1978.

 

Rooftop

This rooftop shot is from December of 1982.

 

Best for last

I saved my favorite of Honcho Day for last.

He appeared in June, 1979.

 

Models Named Mike Day

All our models today are named Mike, starting with Mike Wilson by Pat Milo.

 

Mike Dubel

I just posted another photo of Mike Dubel less than a week ago,

but I had to include this Doug Juleff treasure for Mike day.

 

Mike North

This is Mike North by Troy Saxon, aka Stuart "Pinkie" Rosenberg.

 

Mike Mangione

Mark One Studio of Montreal, Canada produced this picture of Mike Mangione.

 

Mike Bradburn

One of my favorite Kris Studio models is Mike Bradburn.  Even in a posing strap, 

as above, he looks mighty fine.  Since I know some of you will whine about not 

getting a full frontal, I putting one below that I posted several years ago.

Closing out the set with another Mile photo.

Tightie Whities Day

It's tightie whities day, and we start with a mature man in his living room.

 

Meh

It doesn't happen that often, but this picture got a "meh" reaction from me.

 

Mystery

I have no idea what these guys are doing.

 

Sniffing?

Is this guy sniffing a pair of tightie whities while wearing another?

Or is he using them to hide his face?

 

Rough trade?

I'm getting a rough trade vibe from this one, but I could be wrong.

I've been wrong lots and lots of times.

 

GIF

Here we have a GIF of a young man and a classic pickup truck.

 

Another mystery

Here's another one where I don't have a clue about what is happening.

Whatever it is, the guy at right seems to be in charge.

 

Doctor visit

"Don't be afraid of the doctor!"

 

Initiation

I think this is a TKE fraternity initiation, and the newspapers are to protect the floor 

from whatever is being dropped on this poor pledge.  Raw eggs?

 

Trio

I think this trio is trying to impress us.

 

Repeat

This is a repeat from seven years ago.

 

Getting out

Finishing the tightie whitie set with Everett Everyman getting 

out of his clothes in an open space with homes nearby.
