been scanning a lot lately – for some reason stuck in this mid-80’s mode – Torso, Manscape 2 (like above) and of course the usual Mandates, Honchos, etc.

the setting appears to be the West Side Piers from the early 1980’s, but the color photos are from a 1990 Honcho magazine, from Target Studios. This is PAKKO, who we first met in 1981 in Target Album #3; the black and white photo below is from that publication. Pakko doesn’t appear to have been in any films.

edit/update: TWO of the 3 above links were off/wrong!!! as of 10/22 they’ve been fixed. sheeesh! Time for a new intern/editor!

It’s unusual for me to post nearly all of a photo spread – I like to pick and choose, perhaps crop a bit, and present what I think looks good on the computer screen. But lately, having begun paying better attention to who the photographer is, I’ve stumbled on a few with this photography credit: Nick Rodgers! Scroll down to the third, and probably one or two more where I didn’t crop out the photography credit – and I’m now compiling a list of where else (so far, HONCHO magazines) his name pops up. (and nope, the model’s name is no where to be found)





Meanwhile, if anyone wants to take a stab at putting the centerfold together, I’d be ever so grateful. – thanks, LedBear!!





the model (Karim) is not quite my “type”, but the photograph is by Michel Guillot – who’s work (and body) I enjoy quite a bit. I’ve been discovering/rediscovering MANSCAPE 2 magazines from the mid 80’s to early 1990’s – where Guillot has some work, and most notably “Starbuck” – who must by Jon Target, right? Anyway – Manscape was a digest sized publication that was primarily friction fiction, erotic art, and some photos; then at some point, full-sized Manscape 2 appeared in the spring of 1986, with more (and larger!!) photographs and still plenty of erotic art and friction fiction.
Back to Karim – now that he’s “posted” I’m getting a better appreciation for those luscious thighs, what’s between them, and of course some nice musculature – it must’ve been the 80’s hair that turned me off initially – but of course, if I met him in 1986, I’d be all over him!
