Wilhelm von Gloeden was a 19th Century German who moved to Taormina, Italy and took up photography of young men. He was also known to have bedded quite a few, and had to leave the country at one point to avoid arrest for "corrupting the youth." (Something tells me a lot of those guys had been around the block, but whatever.) Anyway, I'm making it von Gloeden Day, starting with a group of five nudes, most of whom are not quite as youthful as the typical von Gloeden model.
I have to say I prefer the older models.
