BEEFCAKE








As promised, I would include some of my older material, maybe I was just a little ahead of the times … I have often seen tributes in these past couple years in magazines for the retro PHYSIQUE PICTORIALS including the recent OUT Magazine among various other strictly fashion magazines. These photos I shot, along with doing the styling and grooming myself, in the Summer 2003 issue of the defunct Italian magazine K>CODE. The editorial was not appreciated by the editor in chief, was considered too ‘gay’ and some of the pages were cut. Is it not strange that anytime a editorial uses sexy, handsome men, it is considered gay. The PHYSIQUE pictorials of Bob Mizer represent a place in our history just as much as the masculine perfection of the statues of ancient Rome and Greece, male beauty as portrayed by MICHELANGELO and Da VINCI and the ideas of masculine beauty portrayed in the military and early years of Hollywood are all measures of male iconic beauty. Maybe I am old fashion but I will always prefer men looking like men, save those ephebic examples for the others. Is this saying that the majority of people prefer unattractive models? Do women prefer sexless men? uuuuuummmmm … I think people should take a long look at themselves and come clean. Thanks Mr. Bob Mizer…
