Have a good night, guys!

The look that says...

"Are we almost done here? I just want my twenty dollars already..."

jock in jeans

Joe Tiffenbach is back...

...continuing from the series I posted back on February 2 -- and thanks to Anonymous for the ID!

ripped!

smooth as silk

the phone always rings at the most awkward moments...

I love half-naked guys in black t-shirts.

Ken Dockter by AMG

I have folders within folders within folders of photos that I've collected over the last decade, so I am constantly re-discovering photos that I haven't seen in years and thinking "Wow! How could I forget I had that one?" Case in point -- this beautiful shot of Ken Dockter by Bob Mizer (a superlative scan by Dan!).

Dale Curry au naturel

Normally associated with AMG, these shots could be by Mizer's associate Fred Kovert. A beauty, in any case!

simply stunning! part 2

This one is courtesy of Paul, in response to a post back on February 11. He was pretty sure it was the same guy, but as his face is turned away he didn't want to claim it 100%. Well buddy, you have a great eye -- just look a few inches back from the wrist in both pics and you'll notice the same dark mark! Now, if we can just find his name (the quest continues!)...

Hank Mason by Adam

No idea who "Adam" was, but I'm pretty sure these images came from either "Muscleboy" or "The Young Physique."

Helmut Reidmeier by Champion

Hi, Maciste... ;-)


(Getting closer to the big reveal...)

Jim Nelson by Milo

Love the use of the mirror in the second shot!

Lennart Petterson by Sven Swede

A hallmark of the Swedish photographers were the large numbers of men in sailor caps...!

Jan Rudman by Stan of Sweden

Oh, daddy...!

Joergen Hermansson by Foto Grafo

A little something for Tor --

I'm sorry to say that I am unaware of any photographers from Norway. However, your next-door neighbor, Sweden, has produced a few studios -- "Stan of Sweden," "Sven Swede," and the more well-known (but sadly anonymous) "Foto Grafo." Little is known about any of these photographers, apart from their post office boxes. If there were some physique photographers from Norway, I'd love to find out about them!

(I did have a huge crush on Norway's Gunnar Rosbo back around 1980!)

Freddie Mercury and Queen

Good morning, guys. Sorry, no pic posts today -- I'll have some up by Wednesday (I'll try sooner, though).

Been feeling kinda melancholy - wasting time following links on the computer while playing mp3's from my library.

An image I found -- Freddie Mercury wearing a hat made of bananas! -- sent me to YouTube to make sure it was real, and indeed it was, from the video for Queen's "I'm Going Slightly Mad." It had been so many years since I'd seen that video that I'd forgotten the gorilla! Anyway, once I'd seen that video again, I had to go right to "These Are the Days of Our Lives" -- they kind of bookend the whole idea of Queen.

I was working in a record store when the first promo material showed up for "Innuendo," the album these songs came from. The sight of Freddie in such a skeletal state was one of the greatest shocks I'd ever had -- a singing and performing powerhouse revealed to be in his last days! Though AIDS had ravaged his body, his voice was still triumphant. His final, whispered "I still love you" -- his goodbye to his fans in "These Are the Days of Our Lives" -- still chokes me up after 18 years...

I still love you, too, Freddie -- and the world will never forget you!

Reg Park by the seaside

Thanks to Robert for this wonderful shot!

Rudolph Valentino and I...

... hope you had a lovely Valentine's Day!

unknown muscler by AMG

A sterling example of my favorite kind of physique!

Christopher of Miami

Helmut Reidmeier by Champion

Oh, those come-hither eyes...!

Zdenek Routa by Joe Weber

The square of pseudo-shag carpet is a hallmark of Weber's photography.

Sven Holm and David Knight by Dick Falcon

Many of the men photographed by Dick Falcon -- including these two -- gained wider popularity when they were shot by Falcon's fellow photographer, Walter "Champion" Kundzicz.

Randy Cornelius by Pat Milo

"Corner of Carl's Room" -- early 1900s

A photo that was recently sold by the eBay dealer "Gargantua" along with two enlargements -- a true bachelor pad (note the motto "Don't Marry")!

simply stunning!

I think this one is by Russ Warner. His face is just-so-slightly out of focus -- he must have barely moved just as Russ snapped the shutter! I'd love to find a full-length shot of this wonderful model.

trim reclining stud!

more sailor buddies!

"Shining Light" by Annie Lennox

One of the greatest voices in rock is back with a new song, so uplifting --!

With thanks to one of my favorite men, Will Clark, on whose blog I just found this!

Good night, guys!

Pat Burnham by WPG

Pat must rank as one of Don Whitman's greatest models. Whitman is justly famous for his outdoor photography, but by no means was he a slouch in the studio, as this beauty demonstrates!

Noel Peters by Champion

"National Geographic," huh? And I'm sure he keeps it by his bed to read the articles...

Kim Fox by Bruce of LA

One of my fantasy boyfriends...!

Herding Cats (2000)

The ESPN website places this commercial at #9 in their list of the best Superbowl commercials. I've had a soft spot for this one from the first time it was shown, and through the miracle of YouTube, I just saw it again for the first time in 9 years. I hope you get a kick out of this month's LOLcat!

Might this be the cutest drawing Dom Orejudos ever created?

Good night, guys!
