Thanks Clint Jeremy Allen White looks great in this one.At 10:50 Robbie Benson seems to be the second guy from the left He still looks great to this dayLoved the Vincent Price bookends
@@CollidePress I don't know if that photo was behind the scenes from Ode to Billy Joe🍏🍎🍊. The two guys to his left look familiar but not the guy to his right. Of course when you look these things up they show what the people look like now.
Another magnificent selection of men. I am attracted to personality more than faces. Facial expressions, gestures, touching, affection, connection to others are what I tend to focus on. I like the symbolism of the multihanded clasp. The almost kiss of Sal by James. I would have hated to wear stiff high collars.
Thank you, Ray. I'm a sucker for faces and personality. Depends on my mood, I guess. As for stiff collars, I hate wearing pants...so anything restrictive isn't my cup of tea. :-)
@@CollidePress As I now live in the tropics and I no longer need to go out to work, I can sit and move around my house in the nude. I only wear clothes to go out of the house or, less commonly, expect visitors. Let everything hang loose. This is one of the many reasons that I dislike the prudery and censorship of nakedness and genitalia.
Wonderful montage of handsome men. I love the real vintage photos--especially, the men with flattop haircuts. You have some examples here at 1:25 (quasi, at least), 2:57, and 10:10 (another quasi). I would estimate that these photos were from the '20s or perhaps even the late 1800s. Yet, most accounts of the origins and history of the flattop haircut place it post-WW II, particularly in the '50s when it enjoyed exceptional popularity. Yet, this clearly is not accurate, since there are many examples of photos of men with flattops dating back at least to the 1800s. Clearly, they were far more common after electric hair clippers were invented, since they make it much easier to cut.
Thanks, RJ. I'm not familiar with the history of hair--maybe because mine deserted me? lol--but I would venture to guess it's fallen in and our of vogue for a long time. But like you said became easier to cut and maintain with the advent of electric clippers. That said, my ritualistic "end of hair" haircut years ago was done with scissors. I found a barber willing to do it old-school because I wanted it to take as long as possible to watch my once long locks get whacked off. Thinning hair wasn't a good look on me, but a buzz cut looked a helluva lot better. :-)
@@CollidePress I have a full head of hair but had a flattop for over a decade as an adult and then a buzz for about the same time. Over the past year, I've returned to my longish brushed back style of the '50s.
Another group of gorgeous men. But would love to see more diversity; there are so many beautiful guys who aren't white: how about reels featuring more of them? 😉
Point taken. I find it hard--though not impossible--to find vintage photos of non-white men. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for the gentle reminder...cuz I think most men are gorgeous. As for reels, do you mean shorts? If so, I'm taking a break from those...mine aren't popular enough to make them worth doing.
Handsome men, start to finish! The man sprawled across the motorcycle looked like a Tom of Finland model come to life!
I don't know for sure, but I suspect that shot was inspired by Tom. Maybe Mizer. Maybe someone else? So many men, so many photographers! :-)
A nice collection photo's Clint, thanks Chris
Much appreciated, Chris! Cheers. 🌈✌️
