Nudists - Conventional Good Looks


Today we look at some nudist men with what I call "conventional good looks."

 

Flower Power


I would say this is a Summer of Love flower power episode, 
but our subject doesn't really look the type.

 

Medallion


Although I'm sure it's not what y'all are looking at, this guy displays
 that very popular 1960s men's accessory, the medallion.
His is more understated than most.

 

Profile


Sometimes full profile views are nice, and this is a good example.

 

Derriere


This is our only derrierre shot of the day, but I think it's a nice one.

 

Surprise treat


And here is our surprise treat of the day.  Those of you who have followed this blog for quite some time probably remember the search for the identity of a model we initially called "Brawny."  Well, we finalally found out that he was John Chapman . . . or at least that was the name he used to model.  The shot above comes from a photo spread about a fun loving group riding motorcycles on a beach.  I think it was a Wyngate & Bevins production, which would account for the physique model.

 

Dramatic


It seems like whenever I see this often photographed nudist, he is in some sort of dramatic pose or situation.  Was that just what he did, or did the photographer direct things?  Probably the latter.

 

Aviator


This guy was part of an expansive photo essay about three nudists who flew to a remote bush area 
for a day's adventure.  I believe our friend here was supposed to have been the pilot.

 

Grin


I like the coy grin on this one.

 

Mystery object


I don't know what that attractive man is holding,
but he looks amused by having his photo made with it.

 

Not playing


This fellow posed on a shuffleboard court, but he 
was goofing around and not playing at the time.

 

In the grass


Our last nudist is nicely posed in some dead grass.
I hope they didn't have a wildfire.

Early 20th Century Men


It's early 20th Century day, and we start with a photo that I am
not quite certain as to vintage.  Either way, I like it.

 

Curtain


The model here is making the dropcloth background look like a curtain.

 

1909


This one is from Germany in 1909.

 

Academy of Physical Culture

This gentleman of a certain age had his photo made at the Academy of Physical Culture in Paris.
Looks like he was quite successful and probably near the top of his class.

 

Folded


It looks like some idiot folded this one.

 

Multiple


Although the fig leaves are unfortunate, there's a lot going on here.

 

Javelin


Something tells me this javelin thrower is a German.

 

Stripes


Many of you know that I go nutty for men in striped antique bathing suits,
so here's my latest find.  The pony's nice, too.

 

Theodore Hey


All the info that came with this one was "Theodore Hey."



 

Best


I saved what I think is the best of today's images for last.
This young man in backyard sunlight is sublime.

Bryan B's Kovert of Hollywood Collection

Today I'm posting our monthly series from the amazing array of classic era physique photographs sent to men by Bryan B.  This time it's Kovert of Hollywood day, and we start with A. Deux,
one of two somewhat unusual (for Kovert) hairy models in the set.

 

Ron Buxron


Fred Kovert managed to set up some unusual poses,
as seen here with Ron Buxron.

 

Joe Lauriano

 


The oddly off centered blocking on this photo takes nothing away from Joe Lauriano's physique.

Freddie Shields


Here we have Freddie Shields, a relative rare hairy Kovert model.

 

Bob Lyone


That tile floor shows up multiple times in Kovert photos, and the oversized chess piece is used as a prop in at least half a dozen of them.  The model here is the blonde and heavily greased Bob Lyone.

 

Bob Mizer


This friends, is a very young Bob Mizer.  He posed for Kovert of Hollywood
before striking out on his own as a photographer.

 

Carmichael


All I have for this model is a surname, Carmichael.



 

Buck Lewis


Freddie Kovert and/or his production team really slathered the oil on Buck Lewis.

 

Michael Brocke


This is Michael Brocke with his wasp waist and a staff.

 

Pat Parris


Our final donation from Bryan B's Kovert of Hollywood 
collection is Pat Parris, sometimes spelled Paris.  
Many thanks yet again to Bryan B for his generosity!
