Bulges Day

It's Bulges Day on the blog, and we start with two pre-steroids bodybuilders.

 

Three sailors

It doesn't take much imagination to guess what these three sailors were up to.

 

First Prize

The men on either side of the swimmer look like they just won first prize for a bull 

at the County Fair.  Mr. Swimmer looks pretty pleased with himself for that matter.

 

A different sort

Here we see a different sort of bulge from an English football team.

 

Blurry

This one is blurry, but we still get the view.

 

Take your pick.

Take your pick.  The only one not showing a bulge is the man at center.

 

Peekaboo bush

We get a peekaboo bush shot along with the bulge in this photo 

of a guy who must have just washed his hair.

 

Boater

This swimmer is holding a boater hat while his two friends are wearing theirs.

 

Brothers?

My source labeled these as "two brothers, " but that may have been a euphemism.

 

1915 Acrobat

Our last bulge of the day is a tidy number on an acrobat from 1915 who dresses left.

 

Ed Fury's Younger Days

This summary is not available. Please click here to view the post.

Bruce II

Bruce of Los Angeles took this picture of Ed Fury and Paul Moffitt.

That's supposed to be Mr. Fury with his back to us.

 

AMG?

I've seen this photo attributed to AMG, but as you will see in a later post,

a group of similar shots in a catalog have been pegged to Bruce of LA.

 

Bruce III

A rear view this time from the Bruce column photo shoot.

 

Ed, Reg, and Sam

Left to right we have Ed Fury, Reg Lewis, and Sam Calhoun at a competition.

 

Catalog Item 4

This is cropped from a catalog page I found on line which said the photos were by Bruce of LA.

I have not found any corroborating information, but several well curated websites list many of the individual pictures from this session as unattributed.  Anyone know for sure?

 

Edmund Holovchik

Mr. Fury was known as Ed Holovchik when this picture

was made at Muscle Beach in the early 1950s.

His full name was Rupert Edmund Holovchik.

 

Bruce IV

Mr. Fury looks very young in a third one by Bruce.

 

Punchbowl

Mrs. Mizer's crystal punchbowl is the backdrop for this AMG item.

 

Catalog Item 13

Our last picture of Ed Fury is another item from the purported Bruce catalog.

Photo 13 is similar to another photo in today's set from the same shoot. 

 

Nudist Refreshments

Today we view some nudist men getting various sorts of refreshment.

Here we see a guy chatting up the server at the camp snack bar.

 

Hitting the bottle

I'd love to know what kind of bottle that was.

 

Big bite

I hope that chicken leg quarter he's about to bite into is done.

 

Another bottle

Here's another one where I can't make out what sort of bottle that is.

 

Faucet drinker

This guy is getting a dring from an outdoor faucet.

 

Has to be French

With all those baguettes, this guy has to be French.

 

Bear prepping for Barbie

In my absolute favorite photo of the day we see a nice 

Aussie bear getting some meat ready for the barbie.

 

Paper cup

This guy looks like he's drinking from one of those little paper cups.

 

Watermelon

Mmmmm . . . watermelon!
