Weekend Onesie:
Physique I
Found these up for auction on eBay; a bit of vintage gay fun... and history.
For we are nothing, if not our images - be they selfies, amateur, or professional.
Here we have a pair of clean cut lads, strutting their stuff nearly in or in the buff in nature - the only setting that can rival that potent aphrodisiac known as 'youth'.
One can only imagine what a welcome sight these photos were as they arrived via the U.S. Postal service - for such sets were sold in the backs of a certain kind of 'men's' magazines or erotically-charged novels. Be it the lonely farmhand, the closeted construction worker, or a hypocritical U.S. senator.
Yes, these photos served a purpose! And still do.
Pity, the listing failed to mention the photographer's name or his studio. If you happen to know, share the info in the comments section. We'd love to learn more.
As for now... enjoy them in the spirit they were created.
They sure knew what they were doing!
Another weekend.
Another new month.
Where has the time gone...

Wonderfully refreshing.
I've no idea about the photographer or studio, but I do know a lovely, broad set of shoulders and back when I see one. Or two!
There's a store in Ptown that sells vintage images like this. We have a few framed and hanging in our house. Love them.
