Library Day

Today's theme is naked men in the library day, and we start with what is in all likelihood a modern photo.  There is a vintage element there, however.  The man is supposed to be Paul Levalley, a researcher who wrote an article about the history of nudist publications, many of which were stored in the library shown.  Mr. Levalley also wrote a book on nudity and culture.

 

Floral Armchair I

This is the first of three appearances in today's set by that floral armchair

and the first of two by this particular model.

 

Basking

I would say the model here looks like he's basking in the sun,

but he's in the library, so it must be something else.

 

Bit of a Mess

I probably shouldn't dignify this messy scene by calling it a library.  How about 

"messy bedroom with a pile of books?"  Having said all that, the model 

and his hair pattern are a delight.  Happy trails, anyone?

Floral Armchair II

Here's that floral armchair again, and it's the same model in a different pose.

Only a watch

This model took off everything but his watch.  Both the books 

and the carpet were already old when this photo was taken.

 

Subdued Armchair

This armchair has a more subdued print and a smiling model.

 

Trollop

Many years ago Miss Magnolia Thunderpussy and I both came across a different photo of this model in another setting.  Both of us had our trollop alarms go off simultaneously.  Yes, I know that's horribly judgemental, but such was Ipernity in those days, and such was MMT and her cohort.

 

Oddball

The leather upholstered armchair is a classic, but I can only 

describe the cowboy model (if that's what he is) as oddball.

 

Peakaboo

We get a peekaboo tease from a model who seems 

to be in a combination bedroom and library.

 

Floral Armchair III

That floral armchair makes its third and final appearance of the day.

The gruff looking model seems a bit excited.

Polaroid

The usual fixative streaks are barely present in this Polaroid.

Our subject seems to be enjoying his magazine.

 

Reader

Our last Polaroid shows a guy reading a book . . . or is he looking at the pictures?

 

Bookworm

This guy is enjoying a book and a sunbath in a barren looking field.

 

Models with magazines of a certain type

Today we take a look at some models who posed with girlie magazines.  The classic era 

physique photographers often kept those on hand to, uh, entertain the models.  We start with 

a guy named Chuck Hall photographed in a sailor uniform by Pat Milo.  Oh, and I'm tagging 

all these "reading" despite the fact that none of the models were likely to have had 

any interest in the articles, such as they may have been.

 

Marilyn

Although LIFE was by no means a girlie magazine,

the Marilyn Monroe cover qualifies for the series.

It seems to have affected the model somewhat.

 

Amateur?

This one looks amateur.
