just throw on a Santa hat and …
kasznar kissing santa claus

Okay, Okay…. so I don’t have a photo of Rod Kasznar kissing Santa…. but I’ve been trying to figure out a way of getting them in during my “publish drafts posts – Xmas posts only exception” phase I am going thru


rockshots


I was hoping to do a fuller post on photographer Michael Rock, and gay greeting card company ROCKSHOTS – but click that link and it’s broken! Who can forget the “Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.” card??? I know he used Ron Raz a lot as a model (given the chance, who wouldn’t??!!), and if you click thru you’ll see Santa Ron. Michael Rock’s photos appeared in MANDATE (frequently in 1977, but other years as well), most notably the January 1980 issue (see pic below), including cover; also in at least the January 1983 Honcho, multiple issue of PLAYGUY…. Anyone else remember ROCKSHOTS?
oh wait – the Michael Rock / Rockshots article has been moved to the Archives – yeah!

Playguy SANTA

wish I had a better version of this photo by Roy Blakey; also wish I could narrow down the month this PLAYGUY, Vol 5, No 1 – I am fairly sure it is 1980 – December? January?

leave the bow on


I know I should just send you to last year’s link – Christmas Present…., and do so if you want more info, like the music, but meanwhile, enjoy another holiday clip
