Nestor by Les Demi-Dieux
Danny Fitzgerald, who worked under the studio name "Les Demi-Dieux," must have taken hundreds of photos of Nestor, second only to his most famous model, Richard Bennett.

John Palatinus one-day exhibit at The Chaps Bar in Liege, Belgium - Sept. 25!!!
My friend John Palatinus is wrapping up his holiday in Paris this week with a special detour to present a one-night-only exhibit of his work at The Chaps Bar in Liege, Belgium! This "vernissage" of his work is to whet your appetite for his next gallery show to be held in Paris, January of 2011 (more on that later!).
The exhibit is open at 4:00 PM this Saturday, September 25. John's European agent has also arranged for a small dinner event with John that evening (check the poster for details). The fetish party starting later that evening should be a blast as well!
Special thanks to Bernd for putting this evening together, as well as working on the Paris event, and the wonderful new website devoted to John at www.john-palatinus.com! You rock, buddy! I sure wish I could join you and John for this exciting evening!

alan on the airwaves - WTF?!?
Very short notice (because I didn't read my emails for a couple of days) -- I have been invited to talk about John and his exhibit at The Chaps Bar in Liege, Belgium on the weekly "Pinkwave" radio show broadcast on 106.7FM Radio Centraal out of Antwerp! Crazy, huh? !!!!! I'll be interviewed by Kurt and Paul on Thursday, September 23, sometime in the last half hour of the program -- 9:30 PM in Belgium, or 12:30 PM Pacific Time.
If you should so choose, you can stream the show live by downloading the playlist link for your media player of choice at this page (I use VLC myself).
My first ever interview! (By phone, of course -- maybe someday I'll be able to visit Antwerp and Liege and all the other fun places in Belgium!) Wish me luck, fellas!
Update, September 23 Sorry gang -- I got a call at 12:15 that technical difficulties in the studio meant the interview couldn't happen. Oh well! Deze dingen gebeuren!
Make sure you go to The Chaps Bar this Saturday, now!

Sheila E. -- "Sex Cymbal"
The song that should have been a massive hit, but wasn't...
Believe me, it's worth waiting for the 30-second commercial at the beginning to end -- a fun, sassy, sexy song -- with an appearance by a then-unknown Angelina Jolie to look out for (if you want) -- the last 30 seconds always blow me away -- just wish I could find a higher quality version!

unknown by Dave Martin
From a large file of unidentified Dave Martin pics I stumbled across a while back. I love the fact that this young stud was so obviously VERY EXCITED during his photo session! Martin's nudes are among the best ever taken, but his capturing this specific moment makes this one stand apart from even his other gems.
Especially for Stan -- thanks for the wonderful surprise! -- I dedicate this photo and today's other posts.

Tore Lind - attributed to FotoGrafo
Browsing through some unlabeled scans from "Tiger" #2 I found these early shots of the popular Tore Lind. Models and photographers are unattributed in the magazine, but most of the images are clearly from the Scandinavian studio FotoGrafo (the distinctive sailor cap is a dead giveaway). Tore would have some wonderful shots taken by Walter Kundzicz/Champion in the early/mid 60s, but I think these were taken before Walter's.
Gene Meyer by AMG
These pics are courtesy of regular visitor Robert -- I can't believe I hadn't posted some Eugene here before!
Both photos are by AMG -- I love the glow on Gene's back hair in that first shot. Funny how times change you -- 20 years ago I would have went "Ewwwwww!!"
The third photo shows how some magazine editors were worried with low-slung pouches. There is nary a trace of pubic hair, but he still felt the need to draw in a bathing suit.

It sometimes can be disconcerting to discover the actual color of some of those posing straps... :-)
Macy Gray! - "Kissed It" and "Beauty in the World"
I went to see the new "Sex and the City 2" last week and amid the terrible commercials one is forced to sit through before the feature starts was one for the "Bravo" TV network -- an absolutely abysmal channel. HOWEVER! I was very happy to sit through it, as the song featured over the visuals was from the upcoming album "The Sellout" by Macy Gray!
Macy is one of those artists you either love or loathe -- her voice is definitely unique. Her first three albums were on constant rotation on my mp3 player when riding the subway and bus to work in the mid-00s. The new album comes out on June 22 and I will buying it the first day and loving it that night!
Here are two live performances of songs from the new album, "Kissed It" (the Bravo commercial song) and "Beauty in the World" -- taken from the British TV show "Later with Jools Holland."

Meet John Palatinus in San Francisco this Saturday!
Hi guys,
I'm going up to San Francisco on Saturday to join my friend John Palatinus at the opening reception of "Chronotopia" -- "the National Queer Arts Festival’s annual visual arts exhibition [which] explores the past, present and future of queer people that will permanently alter the way you think about queer art and history."
The reception starts at 3:00 and I'm really looking forward to this exhibit. Aside from seeing John's work displayed with that of 60 other artists, I'm very intrigued by the wide range of queer art that will be on display, only a tiny amount of which is on display at Chronotopia's web page.
More from their website -- Where [else] can you see images of the first African-American drag queen crowned "Ms Gay Charleston, South Carolina, 1978” alongside beautiful 1958 beefcake boys and gun-toting cowgirl lesbians? Where do trans crafters meet specters of Felix Gonzalez-Torres and Emily Duckinson?
This exhibition captures the multiple dimensions of queer time and place; locates queer lives in relation to complex communities; and remembers historical moments that are framed and re-framed by the present. It also offers alternative approaches to the historical record that challenge a fixed chronology of events and complicate the idea of memory.
The exhibition’s multidimensional visions of our queer history suggest limitless potentialities and vantage points, where conflicting desires and narratives coexist, where ghosts converse with the living, where we imagine impossible possibilities, and where we record our histories in new and challenging ways--Chronotopia.
The event is being held at the SOMArts Cultural Center, 934 Brannan St, San Francisco. There is a map available here. The exhibit is scheduled to run through June 26.
It's going to be a whirlwind trip for me -- literally less than 24 hours in the city, due to work restrictions back home. But hanging out with John is always a blast, and hopefully we will be able to spend time with John's buddy Greg Day, himself an artist whose work is also part of Chronotopia (in fact, one of his images, "Ms. Africa," is the main advertising images for the show!), and we might be able to meet up with our new friend Bob, whom we met at the Antebellum show events.
I hope some of my readers can make it to this free event. John loves to meet fans of the Golden Age (and any other age, as well -- as the man himself is timeless!) and it would be a real gas for me to meet someone who actually reads this stuff! ;-)
Take care, fellas!
