Shower 19

Mr. Scumbeast called this one Shower 19.

 

Germans

I don't know if the star of our final skinny dipping photo just got depantsed, or if the other men are just making sure he faces the camera.  The group is from Mr. Scumbeast's WWII German collection.

 

Dave Allen

Mr. Scumbeast sent me this one labeled only as "Bottoms Up."

I later identified him as Dave Allen by Kris Studio.

 

Amateur #118

Mr. Scumbeast said this one was amateur, and he called it Male Nude 118.

 

"Au naturaal"

My dear late friend Mr. Scumbeast, aka Ken Suffolk, freely admitted to poor spelling skills.  

He sent me this photo labeled "Au naturaal," which might reflect the fact that he 

spent the last years of his life in The Netherlands struggling to learn Dutch.

 

Random Beef Day

Mr. Scumbeast sent me this and called it "random naked guy."

And no, that's not how I came up with the name for this theme.

 

Adjustment

Mr. Scumbeast said this fellow was adjusting his jock.

 

Tall and Short

This is the first of two contributions from Mr. Scumbeast in today's set.

It was part of his "Barracks Room Ballads" series, subtitled "Tall and Short."

 

1941

Mr. Scumbeast sent me this only noting, "Drying off, 1941."

 

Posers

Mr. Scumbeast sent me this with the caption: 

 Bob and Ted prevail upon a passer-by to take photographs of their romantic tryst.

 

Ken Suffolk, Mr. Scumbeast 1949-2014

It's ten years since my friend, collaborator, and muse Ken Suffolk passed away.  He was an amazingly generous man and the consummate vintage photo collector.  Today I am posting ten of his favorite photos of models, starting with one he used to kick off a set on Ipernity with the caption,

"And now, we proudly present . . . "

 

French

This is a French bodybuilder from 1900, and I'm surprised that Ken 

didn't have something sarcastic to say about the photo.

 

Lookout

Lowhanger lookout.

 

Muscles

No catchy caption for this, just muscles.

 

Dune

"Dunes Cruiser" was the name Mr. Scumbeast gave this one.  Ken liked beach scenes

 so mucth that I will do a future series jusr for those.

 

Male nude

For some reason, Ken called this one "male nude" - singular.

 

Too sexy

"I'm too sexy for my shirt."

'Nuff said.

 

Corner man

Ken rather unimaginatively called this on "corner man."

I can think of at least two things that might describe him better.

 

Billy Wood

Oddly, Mr. Scumbeast, a Briton living in Amsterdam, found this photo in the Library of Congress 

digital collection.  He didn't seem to have noticed that it was athlete Billy Wood.

 

Vintage Come-on

Ken called our last model "Vintage Come-on."
