The Pioneers of the Leather and Biker Scene

From: The Advocate

The Satyrs Motorcycle Club

In 1953 The Wild One was released. It starred Marlon Brando, looking for all the world like a Tom of Finland drawing come to life, as the leader of a rough-and-tumble motorcycle gang. In 1955 James Dean became the icon of troubled youth in Rebel Without a Cause. And at the same time Tom of Finland was working on his iconic drawings of leather men that he would submit to Physique Pictorial in 1956.

The mood in America was taking a rebellious turn. The leather and motorcycle zeitgeist was in full bloom. Gay men had become a part of the post-World War II biker culture in the '40s. Leather bars were springing up in major cities and simultaneously, it seems, pioneering gay motorcycle clubs were formed: the Satyrs, established in Los Angeles in 1954; Oedipus, also established in Los Angeles, in 1958; the New York Motorbike Club and early San Francisco clubs, including the Warlocks and the California Motor Club, started as well. Leather clubs for gay men opened in Amsterdam and Berlin in the 1950s.

This was a counterculture within a counterculture. The men who were drawn to the scene weren't so much into camp, show tunes, and cashmere sweaters. The soul of the scene was a masculine independence.

Doug Kimball

From: atomicum@yahoo.com [retromenplus]

 A while ago I became interested in finding more pictures of infrequent nude model Doug Kimball. He was a handsome blond musician and athlete in San Francisco who posed for various publications and photographers in the early 1980s. 

He was featured in an issue of Blueboy about the first Gay Games (see javelin photo). He also posed nude and erect in Manifest volume 4 number 4, August 1982 (I have no access to a scanner. It was an oversize tabloid short lived publication.)

 I've included the pictures I could find. I don't know the provenance of the car shot, which I found on Tumblr with no attribution. 


 A San Francisco pal said he was quite the popular fellow, had done a series of nudes for Crawford Barton, which are rare, and had made a few short porn films, but didn't know the titles. Doug died of AIDS in 1989 (see obit from the Bay Area Reporter Obituary Project.).




Any other images would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Anna Marie "Patty" Duke (December 14, 1946 – March 29, 2016) was an American actress of stage, film, and television.

The following year she was given her own show, The Patty Duke Show, in which she played "identical cousins". She later progressed to more mature roles such as that of Neely O'Hara in the film Valley of the Dolls (1967). Over the course of her career, she received ten Emmy Award nominations and three Emmy Awards, and two Golden Globe Awards. Duke also served as president of the Screen Actors Guild from 1985 to 1988.

Duke was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 1982, after which she devoted much of her time to advocating for and educating the public on mental health issues. She died on March 29, 2016.

His ubiquitous influence

From Beyoncé to Beck, you'd be hard-pressed to find a reputable musician who didn't marvel at Prince's powerful contributions to pop, rock, soul, dance and R&B over a four-decade span. Not many people could change their name to a literal symbol and get away with it, let alone change it back to Prince and emerge arguably even more respected on the other side.

Long Live The King.

Timelessly Embedded: Erik by Pride of Paradise

From: Favorite Hunks & Other Things

'With that amazing head of hair I saw Erik as a Michelangelo's DAVID look and posed him and asked him to express as much as he could in a timeless fashion.'

Pride of Paradise

 There have been several artists who have evoked Michelangelo's DAVID while described a model or a piece of their work.  This is of course understandable given the Renaissance sculpture is an iconic symbol of both masculine strength and youthful beauty.  I have a bit of a theory, although have no evidence whether or not it is accurate or not.  It has proven however, consistently true throughout the entire nine plus years that I have been doing FH. 

 My theory is that we all have a 'David'.  A vision or symbol embedded in our thoughts and imagination which represents the physical features we have created in our mind of the perfect male. For me, the particular vision was formed when I was about 10 or 11 years old.  Looking back, I see it was formed by combining the features I loved from a guy I went to school with, combined with a few actors I loved, and one particular guy I met while spending a  week at a cabin on the beach.

'The images of Erik on the furs in the sun light are still a highlight on my model mayhem pages. He has wonderful eyes and I love his head shots.'

 My David has hair much like Erik's. Long, almost shoulder length, a bit messy and most certainly with some wave and curl. Given I was about 11 or 12 when my vision was first formed, and I wanted him older, maybe 18 or 19, someone to look up to and learn from.   He was  bit taller than me; strong, but not too muscular;  great butt, medium sized penis, and always with pubic hair  He also smiles and laughs.....a lot.

 This vision provided the stimulation for many fantasy's and many many orgasms.  The vision is really not about reality, or about the type of men I am attracted to in real life. Clearly as I got older, my tastes in men grew and changed as well.  I don't use the physical characteristics of my fantasy to in anyway interfere with my decisions about who to see or hang out with.  The vision however, is always there to pull on when I need or just want it.

 Where my timelessly embedded vision does come into play is when working with images and artistic works for FH.  Although I am proud of the diversity of men I feature on the blog, there have been quite a few models who have partly, or fully evoked my fantasy vision into a reality through their images. I can't help it but feel a stronger and deeper connection to these images and the model and artist who created them.

 I have often wondered if all artists and photographers, some with intention, some, maybe subconsciously, also look for their won David, the one they have created in their minds, when seeking models to capture and shoot.  So much of art is exploring.  Exploring not just what we know  and what we love, but things we'd like to know more about and to go deeper into places we have dreamt about exploring.

'Erik had seen a picture of a woman in a headdress and being half American Indian and half Mexican... Erik was VERY into being photographed in them.  They have become very politically incorrect and I have often been told they are a disrespect to the tribes.... sad.... I love them, Down the road, I think I will have the balls to used them again.... Art is Art.'

Although Erik looks a bit like he stepped out of the 1500's when Michaelangelo first created his David, Erik is very much of the 21st century. Erik is from a town not far from where Michael Deer from Pride of Paradise lives, and works as a security guard to support his family. They connected through ModelMayhem and have worked together twice. I did't ask photographer Michael if Erik was his David, but I do know the California based artist knew instantly there was something special, and something powerfully timeless about Erik's look and his physical presence in front of the camera.

 'Eric's face in the lens is amazing to view. He gives all the depth of a young James Taylor, Jackson Brown other icon of soft, sexy, seductive in a natural way artiest. He has a beautiful body as well. Timeless belly, full penis, an all around beauty.'

 Michael describes Erik as being comfortable being naked for the lens, even more so during their second shoot.  'Erik is a fun loving guy in real life, a bit of a geek and a goof off. Nice guy all the way around.'  I love all of Michael's images of Erik, but I think especially the image below.  In part because that smile so reminds me of my own timelessly embedded vision.  Erik was also a bit self conscious about his teeth and smile, so it was especially great to get such a great big smile during his shoot with Michael.

“SELFSUCKING”

From: Ismael Alvarez

Every “macho” in the world has ever tried it, so do not deny it. Although not everyone can succeed at it. I’m talking about sucking your own inner thigh. Basically, what everyone commonly knows as SELFSUCKING.

I have to confess that when I was a young (and not so innocent) boy, I was able to do it quite easily. But as I grew older, plus the lack of practice, it has turned into a very difficult task to accomplish. I rather prefer to have it sucked by anyone else ;)

I’m telling you all this because of a very simple reason. I’ve uploaded a new illustration to PATREON based on that issue. If you still don’t know what PATREON is, just take a look to THIS LINK. There you have all you need to know about it. To sum up: at PATREON you’ll find a lot of illustrations and pictures that you won’t be able to see anywhere else (at least by now). It’s a platform where you can support your favourite artist and, as a reward, you get access to exclusive material.

You can see the whole illustration by clicking on THIS LINK. I hope you like it :)

More and better very soon, and LET’S SUCK BEFORE THE WORLD ENDS!!

“AUTOFELACIÓN”

Todos los machotes lo hemos intentado alguna vez, confesadlo. Unos con más fortuna que otros. Hablo de chuparse la entrepierna uno mismo. Lo que vulgarmente se conoce como: AUTOMAMADA.

Yo tengo que confesar que cuando era más joven lo practicaba con bastante facilidad, pero con el paso del tiempo, y la falta de práctica, la cosa se ha complicado mucho. Me sale más a cuenta que me la chupen XD.

Todo esto viene a cuento por una simple razón. He subido una nueva ilustración a PATREON justamente de esta temática. Si aún no sabéis lo que es PATREON, podéis echarle un vistazo a ESTE ENLACE. Ahí os lo cuento todo detalladamente. Resumiendo: en PATREON encontraréis muchas ilustraciones y fotografías que no veréis en otra parte a corto plazo. Es una plataforma para apoyar a tu artista favorito, recibiendo tú a su vez cierto tipo de recompensas.

Podéis ver la ilustración completa en ESTE ENLACE. Espero os guste :)

Pronto más y mejor, y ya sabéis: ¡A CHUPAR, A CHUPAR, QUE EL MUNDO SE VA A ACABAR!

Director Peter Weir cast Gibson as one of the leads in the critically acclaimed World War I drama Gallipoli (1981), which earned Gibson a Best Actor Award from the Australian Film Institute.The film also helped to earn Gibson the reputation of a serious, versatile actor.

In 1995, Gibson produced, directed, and starred in the epic historical drama film Braveheart, for which he won the Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Director, along with the Academy Award for Best Picture. In 2004, Gibson directed and produced the financially successful and controversial, biblical drama film The Passion of the Christ.

Louis Virtel snaps on Jeopardy!

Last May, the gay YouTuber channeled In Living Color’s “Men on Film” and gave a serious snap after successfully answering a question about Arthur Miller’s The Crucible.

The clip went viral, eventually landing in the hands of House Republicans, who used it to promote their Snapchat coverage of Obama’s State of the Union address.

Virtel was understandably incensed that the Evil Empire had co-opted his moment. “Hey, GOP! Your candidates are horrifying garbage who’ve done nothing for LGBT rights,” he tweeted. The reason people liked my snap was because it defied regressive, homophobic, scary-ass losers like you.”
