John Stone

Pat Milo perched John Stone on a bar stool for this well lighted picture.

 

Charlie Wall

Dave Martin put Charlie Wall on a bar stool for this one,

and for some reason I can't take my eyes off his sharp haircut.

 

Chuck Betz

Chuck Betz appears here on a bar stool that was cutting edge design at the time.

 

Hank Strothers

Rather than using the visible patio furniture, Hank Strothers posed on a bar stool.

 

Charlie

Charlie Wall seems to be flexing with one arm 

and playing imaginary castanets with his other.

 

Leather jacket

If our last hairy guy had ditched the leather jacket, there might be even more fur to see.

Having said that, we still have a pretty good image.

 

Bar stool

The model gives us a hockey stick shape while using a bar stool in a different way.

 

Cliff Dollard

Although out of character for Walter Kundzicz, simplicity 

worked quite well in this photo of Cliff Dollard.

 

Overhang

Several kind viewers sent me copies of this barstool overhang,

but Uncle Vic's was the first to roll in, so he gets the credit.

 

Matt

Until recently all but one of my frontal nudes 

by John Palatinus were of this model, Matt Carroll.

 

Robert Rex by Pat Milo (I think) Day

Robert Rex worked for Bob Mizer of AMG, Chuck Renslow of Kris, and Pat Milo . . . and those are just the ones I know of.  He was obviously a popular model, but I have to admit that I post his photos to please others as I don't like his looks myself.  (I post lots of photos I don't like by the way.)  Anyway, I'm giving him his own day, and I'm fairly certain that these are all by Pat Milo despite some lingering doubts about two.  We start with Mr. Rex on a stool on a platform.

 

John won't marry

Yeah, that sounds very familiar.

 

Modest Mike

Ending the Milo outdoors series with a demure Mike Berg.

 

Kris again

I'm ending the Walt Needham series with this very impressive magazine shot by the great Chuck Renslow of Kris Studio.  It's only appropriate that a fine model and human being like Walt Needham was photographed by the best in the business such as Mr. Renslow, Bruce Bellas, and Dave Martin.  From the high school Latin Club to the cover of Today's Man to a position on the faculty at Yale,  Walt Needham was one of the most outstanding men to grace the pages of this blog.

Milo bar stool

You can just barely see it, but Don Hawksley is 

perched on a bar stool in this photo by Pat Milo.

 

Milo Men - The Outliers

I was going through my Pat Milo files organizing some one-model series, and noticed that 

he had a lot of great looking men pose for him who only have one or two photos in my

 collection.  (That doesn't mean there aren't more out there somewhere, though.) So I put 

together a little group of them for our Monday.  We start with Chuck Bateman on a bar stool.

 

Bill

Never let it be said that Pat Milo had no sense of humor.  Not only does this unconventional pose delight the viewer, but the model, Bill Mohrer, seems to be having a great time.

 

Bruce of LA took this photo of John Nogar on a bar stool.

 

Men on Bar Stools

Our theme for Tuesday is men on bar stools, starting with this photo of Rusty Steele by Troy Saxon.

One look at this photo of Scott Manley on a stool should tell you 

why he was probably the most popular Champion Studio model.
