In the early days of physique photography, hairy models were very rare because the great majority of thos who posed were competitive bodybuilders who removed their body hair to better accentuate muscles. Today's hairy men are mostly from the 1960s and mostly not bodybuilders. I have, however, tried to pick some well built men. This AMG picture of Alan Arnold is the first of four you will see in today's set by Bob Mizer. Apparently he did not shy away from photographing hairy models. But then again, he took such a sheer volume of pictures (over a million at last count), that it would be hard not to include more than just a few.
With that peter and those low hangers ... Put him on the bus, Jerry.
ReplyDeleteTurning his head to the side renders the magnificent specimen unapproachable. Pity.
ReplyDeleteI see what you mean.
DeleteBut why is it so fashionable to have men without body hair when a hairy or very hairy male body is so beautiful! Thanks for this beautiful series, Jerry. Just one regret: all these models are from the front... :-)
ReplyDeleteI have a hairy derriere set coming up in a few weeks.
DeleteIt's not fashionable, it's insanity.
ReplyDeleteReally.
DeleteBel homme hirsute.
ReplyDeleteProlifique Mizer had such a wide selection of men in so many images, he must have made the photo film manufacturers a fortune.
They probably gave him a discount for bulk purchases and still managed to make money off him.
DeleteYum-O-Dee Exx
ReplyDeleteHe quickly became one of my favourites and I have often wondered what his story was. He seemed to be far and apart from Mizer's usual suspects.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't appeat to be the stereotypical Mizer model.
