1922

This  is supposedly a 1922 photo of Charles Atlas in a posing strap, and I like it because it shows a bit of bush and has him in a somewhat unusual pose.  Oh, and that bulge is nice, too.  What I can't figure out is how the posing strap is attached and just what his hand gesturing indicates.

  1. Looking at pictures of Charles Atlas when I was a kid, even though he was in trunks, used to make me pop wood. Had I seen THIS photo...Wow. He does seem to be nicely hung. And he was good looking. Do you know who took this pic?

    1. I wish I knew who took it. Mr. Atlas was indeed a fine looking man.

  2. This photograph is of historical interest, demonstrating that a century ago, the moral climate and the ethos of the Victorian period still obtained. Forty years later, photographers were censoring their own work - Bob Mizer's film of Don Hawksley and John Hadnagy wrestling - because they feared prosecution for showing pubic hair.

  3. it is an string thong posing strap, the very thing white string is visible just below the black scratch starting close to the belly button.

  5. Maybe he's signaling "quote, unquote"

    1. I just realized that he might be playing imaginary castanets.
