Bad . . . or sad?

Whatever happened to:  Alexander T. "Mad Dog" Mains  


When I started working on the "Bad Boys of Physique Modeling" series, Alexander Thomas Mains immediately came to mind.  I found, however, that when I delved into his personal history and the available records, he turned out to be more sad than bad.  I could find no record of criminal convictions, although he was described by some as a brawler.  Bob Mizer found him congenial and easy to work with.  He had a sense or humor and wasn't afraid to poke fun at himself and the genre in which he worked.  So you look at this series decide.  Was he bad or sad? 

Provenance note:  Although several of today's images were included in the generous donation of the Bill D. Collection, I actually had all of these photos in my collection prior to that kind act.

  1. He mostly just looks young to me in this photo. Definitely more innocent than bad. But, those thighs are like Popeye’s forearms! Impressive and very attractive.

    1. A very nice young man. I would like to know his further fate, in addition to that described above. I'll add an answer. Each person is individual, there are those who explode after a wrongly spoken word, there are more restrained ones. I think that it has everything, both impudence and some naivety with sadness.

    2. It is a pity that there is no option to "edit" or "change". You never know the user wants to change the answer written earlier.

    3. I agree. Google Blogger is not the greatest platform, but they do tolerate nudity, so here I am. You probably read on to see that this man died an early death partly brought on by IV drug use.

    4. It is very, very sad that this was the fate of Alexander, I still thought that everything was more or less good with him. Well, judging by the customs that prevailed in those years, this is not surprising. Yet he was a very handsome young man.
