Military Day

Today's them is the military, and we start with the obligatory shower shot.

 

Delousing

Trench warfare produced perfect conditions for lice, so all the armies had to take elaborate 

measures to deal with them.  This is a German delousing facility from 1916.

 

Five in a bed

I'm sure this wasn't the usual sleeping arrangement,

but it must have been fun while it lasted.

 

Bucket

It looks like this WWII German soldier is about to be doused by his bucket wielding friend.

If so, I think his towel could easily get soaked as well.

 

Latvian Rifle Regiment

This is a Latvian rifle regiment exercising on a beach near Jurmala in 1916.  At that time, they would have been in the Russian Imperial Army.  Enlarge and you might see some peekaboo items.

 

Estonian Recruits

Thought I'd sneak in this pair of Estonian interwar recruits.

They look pretty good from any direction.

 

VD Inspection

Here we have what looks like one of those impromtu VD inspections in the field.

This time, it's the American army, but several others did it.

 

Buddies

No nudity, but I really like this snapshot.

 

Germans 1915

Here we have some Germans on a beach in 1915.

 

Poilu

I found our last military photo in a group labeled "Poilus," an affectionate term for early 20th Century French soldiers that roughly translates as "hairy ones."  The photos were cropped from what appears to be an art textbook.  That makes sense because a method was taught at that time for making clothed men appear more natural by sketching them nude first and then adding the clothing later.  American muralist Allyn Cox used this method, and I've posted examples here.

 

80s Porn Stars

It's 80s porn star day, and we start the show with Jeff York.

 

Nick Chase

Nick Chase posed with some ropes and pulleys.

 

Ivan Duncan

This climber is Ivan Duncan by Don Nell.

 

Rod Mitchell

This is Rod Mitchell in a 1980 photo said to be by Target.  I think this might have been the inspiration for the iconic drawing below by Richard A White.  The other guy looks like Mike Morris.

 

Jim

All I have on this handsome model is a first name, Jim, and a year, 1982.

 

Charley Smith

Graven Images took this photo of Charley Smith that might have been a Mandate centerfold.

I hate it when they divide the images, and we can't see if there were staples.

 

Mark Wolf

Here we see Mark Wolf climbing out of some sort of hole.

 

Jon King

Jon King posed beside a window for this photo by an unknown.

 

Mickey Squires

Mickey Squires never fails to please,

no matter which side we see.

 

Mystery Magazine

We can see that this is Steve Cole photographed by Jim Moss, but does anyone 

know the name of the Spanish language magazine in which this appeared?

No less than three different image search engines came up blank.

 

Name that Model Day IV

It's name that model day again, and first up we have a Kris photo of a guy who some sources have listed as unknown and at least one has listed with multiple names.  Anyone know who he actually is?

 

Dave Martin

Dave Martin kept better records of his models than most of his peers,

but I haven't been able to find names for these two handsome men.

 

Lon of New York

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

Cub Studio

Cub Studio produced this image in 1970.  The hairy model is 

quite a contrast to the twinks we often see from that time.

 

AMG

This blond playing the bongos on the floor is by AMG.

 

Pat Milo

I love the facial expression and the fur pattern on this Pat Milo model.

 

Kovert of Hollywood

This picture of an unknown by Kovert of Hollywood has a silver screen feel to it.

 

Denny Denfield Duo

This attractive pair appeared in a book of Denny Denfield's photos called Comin, at Ya,

a post career rendition of some of his work in a 3D format.

 

Joe Weber

Joe Weber took this photo of a shiny model.

 

Bruce

And I leave you with a fine model by Bruce of LA.
