Jules Bacon by Lon of NY

I can't believe I haven't posted any shots of Jules Bacon before!  The autographed magazine you see below is the latest addition to my collection -- and below that you'll see the uncensored version.

An absolutely stunning scan of this 30s-era model by Alonzo Hanagan -- all thanks to our good buddy Robert for sharing it!

Believe it or not, that is a real posing pouch in a Lon photo!

Clive Poster by Lon of London


Seeing as how it's winter... from the mid-50s... attributed to Lon of London (Will Dominic aka Domenique) though it could be by the original Lon (Hanagan) as well...

One last model for tonight -- the splendid Raul Pacheco!

Howard Eastman by Lon of NY



I love Lon of NY, so let's have some more...

That's Benny Piekaiski [sp?] with Howard in the second pic...

Marvin Eder by Lon of NY




At one time the strongest man on earth, Marvin Eder is a true giant of the bodybuilding world. His name may not be on the tip of the average bodybuilding fan's tongue, but check this out for some great facts, images and inspiration!

In an alternate universe, he's also my boyfriend... man, what a beauty!

Sorry the pic is so small, but the subject is so beautiful...

Elmo's competitive bodybuilding career spanned more than 20 years!

In Living Color - Luis Santiago by Lon of NY


A "sequel" to the shot posted on July 29 -- a bit of an odd expression on his face, eh? Like Lon snapped him as he was getting ready to put his "game" face on...

(I don't know what the date of 1969 in the file name is in reference to -- this sure looks like a 50s-era shot to me.)

Sailors!






Sailors have been the source of many a gay man's fantasy for thousands of years (Jason and the Argonauts, anyone?) The "real thing" can't be beat, but a good looking man in just a sailor cap will fit the bill nicely, thank you. Here's a tiny look at what I'm on about....

[2 authentic sailor snaps, a portrait by Lon of NY of what may be two authentic swabbies, and Ray Bloom and Tony Mueller by AMG.

Jerry Rocco by Lon of NY






Alonzo Hanagan was a New York-based photographer who specialized in nudes in the 40s and 50s. He was a prolific photographer for the mainstream musclemags of the 40s and 50s, and he published several physique magazines [of his own work] as well. Not all of his models dropped their posing pouches for his private shots, but a lot of them sure did -- just like Jerry here...
