WTF! This is just too appropriate! Talk about camp appeal! Look at the gun and holster. Did he need the money? I still say “Ah Men!…Ugh Clothes! Seriously, do you know anyone who would actually wear these gaudy rags? On a similar note, there’s a picture of Sammy posing with bearded gay/straight porn star, Jim/Rick Cassidy, in the #19 issue of In Touch magazine. Did you ever see it? It’s the one with Paul Barresi on the cover. You’ve never posted any pictures of the great J.C. Cassidy was never completely nude in any of his pictures or stills. He’s always wearing a watch or some jewelry. I thought it was also campy and appropriate that he would pose with Sammy, fully clothed. Both men loved their bling.
(Hope these links work!)
The JC meme; rolls on! Mercy, my second reply to this post, from 14 years ago! Yes, there is a connection, to Sammy Davis Jr. and Jim Cassidy, believe it or not! Bear with me!
Both Cassidy and Sammy, loved jewelry! There’s an old Fred Travelana joke, that when Davis Jr. “raised his hands, airplanes would land!” LOL!
Here’s the In Touch photo – page 53, that I mention in my first reply above. It seems to be some kind of celebrity/charity event. Both Cassidy and Sammy; seem very chummy, with each other!
On the right side, descending order column: Sammy Davis Jr., David Carradine, and evangelist preacher and actor, Marjoe Gortner (he just died on October 2nd – 82 years old)!
So many vintage nude models; and gay porn stars, posed for the “Ah Men” fashion catalogue – pure camp appeal! They got started in the late 50’s, believe it or not – what an institution!
I still say, “Ah Men … Ugh Clothes!” because the styles were so gaudy and naughty – “Duds for Studs.”! : /
BELOW – I posted this 1972 ad before, from the summer brochure. From left to right: Unknown Chick, Dakota, Jim Cassidy, Jimmy Hughes, and Unknown Male Model.
As usual, the swimwear looks ridiculous! But Dakota aka Ken Sprague, looks especially appealing – winning! : D
BELOW: Wow, he actually looks pretty hot here, despite the silly Speedo! I’m guessing this must be from an Ah Men catalogue, but I could be wrong. Who else designs prints, on bathing suits?
Bill Cable, Hog Chopper, Tom (Colt), Ric Drasin aka Jean Claude, John Iverson, Robert La Tourneaux, and Jon Nicholson, weren’t the only nude models; who were on the cover of the San Francisco magazine, “California Scene”!
Wow, to think back in the day, this magazine was only 50 cents. They later raised the price to 60 cents.
