Perhaps this is a good example where one can appreciate the exterior only.

It seems his wife was the receptionist, and when the caller respectfully said he was writing an article on the golden age of physique modeling, she became very brusque and basically hung up on him after some sharp words.Vintage Muscle Menhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08244653188564625879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524340241288844456.post-88579833877198078222022-11-23T15:41:07.279-10:002022-11-23T15:41:07.279-10:00Glenn Bishop, such a handsome man and so contradic...Glenn Bishop, such a handsome man and so contradictory.<br />One of the golden boys of that era in physique photography.<br />Willingly posing and selling his image to a gay audience.<br />Marketing swimwear, appearing in physique magazines and making a very good living from it all. Then towards the end of his physique career writes an opinion in a physique magazine that they and their customers are deviates. Deviates whose monies put Mr Bishop through chiropractic shool<br />and enabling him to enjoy a successful career and life in that field. <br />Years later an author writing a book about physique history, sought out Mr Bishop for an interview and was given a rather rude brush-off, so sad.<br />Other physique models from that golden era, men like Dan Lurie, Ed Fury, Vic Siepke, Richard Harrison, Joe Leitel and others, remember with fondness and good-humor their physique modeling and knowing who those customers would be. Mr Bishop should have taken a lesson from those MEN and their outlook.<br />Jerry, I highly recommend the book Male Beauty:Post-War Masculinity by Kenneth Krauss. It has a great chapter about Mr Bishop and other chapters on other physique models and studios.<br />-Rj inthe IEanonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525362039231038208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524340241288844456.post-34347141033699285052022-11-23T15:18:17.264-10:002022-11-23T15:18:17.264-10:00This comment has been removed by the author.anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13525362039231038208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6524340241288844456.post-4604454931225714132022-08-28T06:26:30.550-10:002022-08-28T06:26:30.550-10:00I didn't know about his pay level, but I'm...I didn't know about his pay level, but I'm not surprised.
