Today we have a two part celebrity set, with part one being nudes. We begin
with a shot of Burt Lancaster that I somehow managed not to post until now.

Arnim Meier

Arnim Meier is shown above in a scene from 1978's Germany in Autumn. Better known for his other films which were directed by his love Rainer Werner Fassbinder, he killed himself
in Fassbinder's apartmen after the couple broke up in 1978. What a waste!
Richard Harris

Richard Harris starred in This Sporting Life in 1963. He is somewhere in the above scrum in an oversized bathtub, but I don't know which one he was. We see him with another actor below.

Celebrity Day, Part 2 - Hairy Boxers
Part two of our celebrity series features hirsute boxers, starting with Jim Jeffries. He famously was called "The Great White Hope" when he fought (and lost to) Jack Johnson in 1910.
Below we see him as World Champion, 1899-1905.
Bobo Olson
Honolulu born Carl "Bobo" Olson was sometimes called the Hawaiian Swede due
to his mixed ethnic background. Better known for his stamina than his skill,
he had a fairly successful career as a middleweight.
Paul Sykes
Sometimes celebrities are infamous rather than famous. This is Paul Sykes, an English boxer
whose success at boxing and weightlifting was overshadowed by his criminal history. Never
able to handle alcohol or stay away from it, he engaged in a string of violent crimes that
kept him imprisoned for 21 years. While in prison, he routinely assaulted guards and other
personnel. He fathered six children, two of whom are currently serving life sentences
for murder, just about the only violent crime Paul Sykes was never convicted of.
He was a regular attendee at the Baptist Church in Wakefield, but it didn't seem
to help much. He died of pneumonia aggravated by cirrhosis of the liver at age 60.
Charles Bronson called him the toughest guy in Britain.
Scott LeDoux
Closing part two with a 1983 shot of Scott LeDoux being weighed in for a match with Frank Bruno which turned out to be the last of his career. Gotta love the colored BVDs.

Poolside Nudist Day
Our theme today is poolside nudists, and we start with a guy
who may be trying to pull someone into the water.
Nonplussed
This guy seems a bit nonplussed. Perhaps he wasn't expecting to have his picture taken.
If so, it would be unusual since nudist gatherings had strict permission rules.

John Barrington Day
Get ready for blotches, spots, streaks, and stray pieces of equipment in the pictures
because it's John Paington Barrington day. Actually several of todays photos are
above average for this photographer, including our opener of Manu Leonardis.
Yves
Even the spots, streaks, and unfortunate cropping can't keep
us from appreciated the handsome Yves Lecoadou.
Steve
Many observers are uncertain as to whether John Barrington intended from the start to include
all the lighting and other gear, or if he was just too lazy to crop it out. From what I've seen
of his work, it could easily go either way. The model here is Steve Wengryn.
