Hairy Physique Models Day

Today we look at ten hairy models from some of the best physique photographers.

We begin with Tony Segal photographed by Bruce of Los Angeles.

 

Jim Higgins

Pat Milo didn't photograph all that many hairy models, but Jim Higgins is an exception.

And he took quite a few pictures of him, so expect to see more in future sets.

 

Unknown X 2

I picked this one up during the sack of tumblr, and both the model and photographer are unknown, 

at least to me.  That has to be the most prodigious happy trail I've ever seen.

Avery Willard Unknown

This hairy unknown posed in only his boots and mustache for Avery Willard.

 

Chuck McAmish

Bob Carr of the somewhat obscure Bobco Studio took this 1967 photo of Chuck McAmish.

 

Jon West

We get a really nice smile in this AMG posing strap picture of Jon West.

 

Kovert Unknown

This is what happens when you slather oil on a really hairy guy.

Kovert of Hollywood produced the photo of an unknown model.

 

Richard Reagan

Finishing the set with Richard Reagan as photographed by Bruce of LA.  If he looks familiar, 

it's because I featured a different photo of him in a Labor Day series a while back.

Scroll down for our annual Veterans Day special.

 

Veterans Day 2025

For Veterans Day 2025, I'm doing something different and going on the lighter side.

We will be looking at wartime buddies in a variety of situations.

Some of these became lasting friendships and perhaps more.

 

T-shirts

I know several of you will appreciate the white t-shirts on these two.

 

Doughboys

Here we have two Doughboys from World War I.

 

Double Date?

This looks like a double date to me.

 

Shorts or Undies

I can't decide if these two are in shorts or underwear.

 

Sailors

I find these African-American sailors to be quite charming.

 

Beach buddies

These two sailors seem quite friendly.

 

Train Sleepers

This is one of my favorite World War II photos ever.

 

Royal Hawaiian

I think this was made on the porch of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki.

 

Helena Sergeants

These two sergeants had their picture made together in Helena, Montana.

 

Mixed services

The Army and Navy seem to be getting along well here.

 

Deck

Our last two Veterans Day buddies posed on the deck in front ot their tent.

 

Billiards Day

It's billards day, and we start with a photo made at the Gold Coast in Chicago.

They're tying some guy to the pool table for what I am sure were nefarious purposes,

and it was just a typical night at that Chuck Renslow enterprise.

 

Frank Larson

Here we have Frank Larson by Calafran Studio.

 

Stan Smith I

This is Stan Smith who will appear again later in today's set.

 

Repeat

Mr. Wavy Hair is a repeat from six and a  half years ago,

but I don't think many of you will object.

 

Target

This is supposed to be by Target Studio, and one 

of the men is supposed to be named Kovacs.

 

Sitting

In my hometown pool hall, sitting on the tables was a no-no.

 

Stan Smith II

One more time for Stan Smith, only in color this time.

 

Gold Coast II

Here's another shot made at the Gold Coast in Chicago.

I'm not sure if Chuck Renslow actually took these, or not.

 

Lean

This image is about lean in more than one way.

 

Bad hair year

Our last naked pool player seems to be having a bad hair year.

It took him at least that long to grow that mop.

 

1930s Day

It's 1930s Day, and we start the show with a 1936 self portrait by Paul Outerbridge.

Mr. Outerbridge (1896-1958) was a very successful American photographer

who took dozens of female nudes, but only this selfie of a male.

 

Unknown Derriere I

Online vintage photo resellers often group images together, and this came 

from a group of pictures of all derrieres with the only designation being "1930s."

 

Hood ornament

This is another of those 1930s photographs that could have inspired a hood ornament.

 

Mystery Man

Try as I might, I haven't been able to find any more photos 

of this mystery man, never mind who he might be.

 

No info

I found this in a group of unattibuted 1930s photos with no additional information.

 

Elio Luxardo

This is a 1930s piece by Italian art photographer Elio Luxardo.

 

Lutz 1930

This may be Mark Lutz, a photographer in his own right 

who posed for and inspired Carl van Vechten.

 

Unknown Derriere II

Here's another from that uncurated group of 1930s derriere photos.

 

Clevio Massimo

Clevio Massimo and his muscles appeared on the cover of Strength and Health in September, 1935.

 

"Nature"

My source labeled our last 1930s photo 

as "Nature" without mentioning the sword.
