He luvs his sox...

Scotty Cunningham by Bruce of LA

We had a request in the CBox a while back for AMG's Steve Buono -- who is much better known as Bruce of LA's late-60s muse Scotty Cunningham.

Scotty was definitely sex on a stick -- a killer body, with a sometimes-goofy face, but so happy, confident, and out there! He's been a favorite of mine since I first got into this hobby oh-so-many years ago.

My favorite series of Scotty is when Bruce has him in a black knit cap, black t-shirt and black sox pulled half-way up his calves -- oh, baby! The first photo is a 5x7 that I actually own -- newly acquired from eBay -- it was a pose new to me and I just had to have it! So, I'll pay the bills next month... ;-)

George Hackenschmidt - The Russian Lion

I collect pics of the turn of the (20th) century strongmen whenever I find them -- the classical poses they took are direct inspirations for the physique photographers of the 40s and 50s, and they were the men who created the base for the bodybuilding/fitness world we have today.

My favorite strongman was the Russian wrestler Georg(e) Hackenschmidt, the Russian Lion. Google him -- you'll find pages and pages on him. His autobiography, published in 1908 and kept in print for decades afterwards can be found scanned in its entirety here.

Born in 1878, he lived to the ripe old age of 90, passing away in London in 1968.

I think he's simply stunning.

Seaton in Sox!

Chuck Renslow's Kris Studio came into its own in the early 60s, presenting a rugged kind of guy that was a major contrast to the twinkie-type that was taking over the fading physique era. Chuck often found his models at the gym or the bar that he owned with his life partner, Dom Orejudos (aka the artist Etienne).

Naked men in their sox and sneaks (or better, boots) are a major turn-on for me. These three shots of hunky Johnny Seaton are old favorites of mine!
