Sam Hunter and Keith Stephan Photographed by the Athletic Model Guild

What a thrill it was to stumble upon this excellent photograph of Sam Hunter posing with Keith Stephan!

I now know the Athletic Model Guild took this image in the series featuring the duo posing in the mansion used in the Hollywood classic film, Sunset Boulevard.

10,000,000 Views and Counting

I woke up this morning to see the views of this blog have surpassed 10,000,000.

That's certainly a lot of vintage beefcake viewing!

To celebrate this milestone, I selected this photograph of one of my favorite models, Keith Stephan, taken in the 1950's by Bruce of Los Angeles.

I'm pleased with the interest in this blog.

I maintain it to record for posterity the names of vintage beefcake photographers and models, as well as to acknowledge their endeavors, from the end of the 1800's to the middle of the last century, to invent in a more homophobic, less permissive world the concept of beefcake:  the widespread popularity of viewing male beauty purely for the pleasure of it.
