Yes, that's a goat on Bob Mizer's roof.


In the course of taking over a million beefcake photos, Bob Mizer used thousands of props, and those included an interesting array of animals including geese, caged birds, a chicken, dogs, cats, a goat, monkeys, and probably a few others I can't remember.  Today we will focus on the goat which appeared around 1967, starting with this shot of Andre Boersma.  The goat doesn't seem too concerned about Mr. Boersma whacking her with that log.  Interestingly, a Boer is not only an Afrikaner, but also a type of goat.  And yes, I'll get to a series on those monkeys in a few weeks.

    1. The goat was alive, and I suppose it was used to add drama?

  3. Bob Mizer created some great backgrounds. Could have been a set designer for the Movies.

    1. Well, he was in LA, so there were plenty of examples to follow.

  4. Mizer nearly had a zoo going on there at the compound. Did you ever see the python? It was at least 8 feet long and it even had a name, which I think was Demetrius.

    The AMG model Ed Taylor (star of the epic film SLAVE SHIP) was one of the few African American models from that period. Mizer and Ed had an unusual relationship. The two of them constantly argued and bicker at each other like two old ladies. But Ed took it upon himself to feed and care for the animals and for that Mizer gave him free board at the house.

    P.S. The goat was real.

    1. Thanks for the great story! Yes, I have seen the python somewhere, but the photos of snakes in my AMG collection are smaller. Maybe it was a baby then.
