Centerfold Day

Chuck Betz, aka Chuck Dietz, is giving us a welcoming look to start off centerfold day.

The photo is by R.A. Enterprise, but I don't have a magazine title.

 

Frank Hlivjka

Most of my photos of Frank Hlivjka give no photographer attribution, and this one is no exception.  

I have read, however, that he worked mainly for R.A. Enterprises.

 

R.A. Enterprises

Today's featured studio is R.A. Enterprises, the outfit run by Richard Fontaine in LA.

We start the show with Ralph Smith and an interesting backdrop.

 

Bob Treichia

Richard Fontaine used some oil when he made this picture of bob Treichia.

 

Rick Anderson and Dick Sylvester

I found this stray page from an unknown magazine and noticed that it had two R.A. models.  

I think both the photos and models (Rick Anderson and Dick Sylvester) are quite good.

 

Frank Hlivjka

Here we have Frank Hlivjka and a single swim fin with a fish net in the corner.

I have several R.A. photos with nets, another of which appears later today.

 

Don Monroe

The poolside setting works in this reclining shot of Don Moore.

 

Bob Storr

Bob Storr gives us a schoolboy grin while measuring his thigh and sitting on a classic desk with an inkwell.  I had one of those in elementary school.  The ink well was useful for storing spitballs.

 

Don Fuller

I've posted other R.A. Enterprises photos of Don Fuller before,

but somehow managed to leave this one out until now.

 

Chuck Betz

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

 

Rick Anderson

This photo of Rick Anderson is attributed to Richard Fontaine, the guy behind R.A.

 

Ray Fowle

Our last R.A. Enterprises photo os the day is Ray Fowle and a fishnet.

I think the hair took a lot of work and product.

 

Mac Force

Our first R.A. photo is a guy they called Mac Force, surely not his real name.

Read the print piece up top to start the series with a chuckle.

 

Ivan Davis

We get a nice smile from Ivan Davis.

 

Rick Anderson

I'm pretty sure I've posted this shot of Rick Anderson before in one of my random beefcake series, but it's worth repeating, especially since we now know who he is and who took the picture.

 

Chuck Betz

This montage of Chuck Betz is nice, but I don't know if Richard Fontaine

 did it, or if someone came along later and put it together.

 

Frank Hlivjka

Frank Hlivjka is sprawled on some sort of animal skin.  I was going to tell everyone to say his 

last name three time really fast, but realized no one could pronounce it even once.

 

Robin Roberts

Robin Roberts posed in a patio door for this one.

 

Bill Etienne

Richard Fontaine showed some artistic flair in this derriere photo of Bill Etienne. 

 

Rich Hill . . . or is it Hilla

I've seen this attractive reclining model listed as Rich Hill and as Rich Hilla.
