Don Hawksley Photographed by the Athletic Model Guild
I must thank a generous fan of this blog for this catalog of photographs of Don Hawksley taken by the Athletic Model Guild.
I think Hawksley in and out of leather while hanging around a motorcycle a very good thing, indeed.

Eugene Meyer Photographed by Kovert of Hollywood
Persistence resulted in my locating these images of Eugene Meyer taken by Kovert of Hollywood.
Already on this blog are slightly different versions of the images of Meyer standing.
The photograph of him seated exists elsewhere on the blog, but includes the addition of a crude fig leaf.

Forrester Millard and Harold Gillespie Photographed by the Athletic Model Guild
What a treat it was to stumble upon this photograph of Forrester Millard and Harold Gillespie taken in the 1940's by the Athletic Model Guild.
If you are regular reader of this blog, you know Millard was Bob Mizer's first model for the Athletic Model Guild. When you jump to this post on the blog, you can see two more images from this series of the duo adorable in the obviously chilly ocean.
I'm happy Gillespie's hairstyle has come back in style.

Unknown Models Photographed by Bruce of Los Angeles
Bruce of Los Angeles took this photograph of these unknown models.
The tattoo and chest hair of the seated model led me to identify him as the model you'll see in this post on the blog. I believe both photographs are from the same series.

Pepper Gomez and Bill Brinkley Photographed by Bruce of Los Angeles
I had thought it impossible to find another photograph in Bruce of Los Angeles' outstanding series featuring Pepper Gomez battling Bill Brinkley in the desert.
I am beyond thrilled to be wrong.

Ray Jimenez Photographed by Lon
How astounding to find online this photograph of Ray Jimenez taken by Lon.
George Quaintance likely painted on the posing strap, as Alonzo Hanagan mentions this collaborative effort–which proved to be unpopular with his beefcake customers–in his book with Reed Massengill, The Male Ideal: Lon of New York and the Masculine Physique.
