DirtyMocchaBB - I Think We Look Real Good

 

A nice group of real, hunky cowboys.
They find new arrivals irresistible.
(Provided they look just like them). 

Such is life! 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - I Have Been Waiting For This Moment (1)

This construction site opportunist is more open.
About both his preferences and intentions! 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - I Have Been Waiting For This Moment (2)

The unlikeliness of seducing this handsome prey, in broad daylight, on a building site makes you imagine there must be some disreputable leverage at work. But we all have our kinks, preferences

  - and skeletons in our closet.

 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - Please Queue Up While I Clean Your Body

Perhaps this sexy, building sight ritual has something to do with it.

The men look as if they put up with it just to please the boss. 

He wants his hunky workers to look clean and smart.

But, it's also a good excuse to get close up and personal. 

 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - You Asked For It

 The boss of this office seems to have similar odd ideas about keeping his staff clean. It's bad enough when the office cleaners come in and sweep up while you're working. When they come in to vacuum you personally, it's far more distracting. 

And more than a little disturbing

 

You can see this operative is single-minded, not about to let project deadlines deflect him from his allotted task. This employee must submit to being cleaned! I suspect the underwear exposure (and vacuuming that will follow, down under) is a gratuitous punishment for resisting. 

 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - This is the beginning

All controversial office procedures have the same ambiguity baked in: just whose benefit is this for, exactly? 

 

The artist's caption is even more doom-laden than mine. It looks as if there's not going to be much privacy allowed either. I wouldn't want to be in Peterson's shoes, but I wouldn't mind making a tactile check inside his shirt!

 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - I Feel Fit And Good

This worker looks shell-shocked. Not wanting to be found lacking in the breast scan, he took a triple dose of muscle enhancement powder last night. Now he wonders if it was a trifle hasty. 

Like AG-Rens Transformers, he's busting out all over.  

 

Not only that, his shorts, worn at the boss's insistence, are now so tight that they are extremely uncomfortable to sit in. But if he stands up, they are going to become an irresistible homing beacon for his wandering hands.  

 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - Worship My Feet

I can't say if this is an employee perk or the exploitation of a PA. You never can tell. The AI construction of the boss's figure is a bit off, but I couldn't resist that splendidly, face-smothering foot and the open crotch beyond. Tight, grey suits are almost obscenely erotic.

 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - You Seem A Little Lost, Can I Help You?

 

It's easy to get confused when you join a new organisation, but Dale was completely flummoxed when the boss relieved him of his shirt at their first meeting and strapped a collar round his neck. It wasn't how he thought Office hierarchies worked.

 

It was so unexpected after he'd been give a welcoming drink of fresh coffee. Everyone else gave him the lousy stuff out of the machine, but the boss prepared one from scratch, just for him. Afterwards, he felt unable to resist his instructions for some reason. 

 

Despite his compliant mood, however, he just couldn't bring himself to take off his trousers. He got as far as undoing the top button, then froze. Something from his upbringing wouldn't let him do it.

 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - Oh No, My Briefs Are Showing!

"Never mind" purred the boss, "I obviously miscalculated your dose. But I'm happy to do it for you, as you are such a promising prospect". He knelt and slowly undid Dale's zip.

 

 "Nice red briefs" he commented, "but I'm afraid only white underpants are permitted in this office. I'll have to confiscate them, but you can come back for them, when you finish work. I'll even put them back on for you". 

 

"Yes Sir. Thank you Sir", Dale replied obediently, not realising he'd be using that phrase a lot during the end of day review, which he hadn't been told about yet.

 

 Some of this artist's captions are priceless, others simply baffling!

 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - Come On, Give In

 This was one such daily review, I'm told, though reportedly not much work was discussed. There's a marvellous controlling strength in the boss man here. I dread to think what the title means, the poor wretch in the wheelbarrow position seems to have 'given in' quite a lot already. The sacrifices one makes for career advancement! 

 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - I Need A Ride

It was not unknown for the long-suffering (male) citizens to be relieved of their clothing on their way home. Everyone else on the train looked the other way, of course, calculating that the poor sap would need to borrow money or cadge a lift from someone, and it certainly wasn't going to be them driving a naked man home. That's the effect commuting has on gayest and kindest of men.

 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - You Are Arousing Me

 

Seemingly good Samaritans sometimes offered a hand,

but often turned out to want payment in kind. 

Or payment in pants, you might say.

 

 

DirtyMocchaBB - My Neighbour Says He Loves My Tan Lines

Even in their own homes, men were not safe. The creeping criminalisation of secret, voyeuristic, picture-taking drove those addicted to the sport out into the open. There was no law that forbade brazenly man-watching someone on his own property (paparazzi-style). Just as long as they didn't touch and didn't publish anything, the police regarded any complaint as just a 'domestic'. 

 

DirtyMocchaBB -Two Cowboys, Hot and Hunky

 

I'm closing this selection with another cowboy picture that is sensuous, romantic and very erotic. The styling may be pure AI, but it's created colours and texturing that make the picture memorable in its own right. One for the living room wall.

Steve Masters - Greasing The Saddle

This image can't be found in the beefcake publications of the sixties, it's far too suggestive. Master's title seems to imply this is a regular rendezvous for the cowboys, a male brothel perhaps, which would account for the dodgy wallpaper and the rather deprecating title!   

 

'The saddle' doles out lubricant to a cowboy whose intense gaze and thin smile has a pretty scary look about it. Particularly when he's holding his belt like he wants to use it on someone's ass. In fact, you can interpret the image as showing that he just has done so, the rent boy rubbing his bruises rather than lubing himself. Luckily, the other cowboys seem up for fun rather than tormenting their steed. 

 

I've seen this image with the eyes of the two central cowboys blanked out (like the nipple shapes here). I'm inclined to think that could be the original version, because I can't think why anyone would make such an alteration, retrospectively. To modern eyes, it adds a menace that is coldly inhuman rather than lustful. The image above is a more complete version anyway, showing the bed in the foreground. That would have been a controversial ingredient in its day, sex in a bed is intimate and personal, not just a discharge (for which heterosexuals could be excused).

 

The styling of this image has a look of the 50s about it, the chair design being a part of that. The 'hollowed out' drawing style was later the trademark of the British artist, Bill Ward, in his cartoons.

 

 

Steve Masters - Men In a Bed

 

This picture illustrates perfectly the heightened intimacy of getting into a bed with a man. They are not actually having sex, but it's strongly implied. This looks like a hotel room so we can bung in the word 'seedy' as well. 

 

The sailor with his cap still on and sweetheart tattoo epitomises casual, 'rough trade' but this looks pretty affectionate and genuine. The highly stylised, drawing style has produced a picture that is more sensual than might be expected for such sparseness. It cocks a snook at the Peeping Tom in the background, conservatively dressed and looking very disapproving. 

 

 

Steve Masters -Matelot

 

I've censored this image to meet the blog rules, 

but you can see it unspoiled on 'X'

 

This early image in the same style is self-explanatory, a bit of R&R between men of disparate sizes and exceptional physiques. The title of this piece is probably derived from the cockleshell hat, the rear man is wearing. Masters associates it with fishermen in other images. He's also wearing a (just visible) rolled-up singlet with horizontal hoops, a nautical style (a la Gaultier, below). 

 

The background imagery looks like conventional room furnishing, apart from a rope-like construct that disappears through an elaborate hole in the wall like an anchor cable. The subs raised arms give a 'come and get me' tang of the bordello again.

 

Matelot Hoops

There's a further, early image in this style at my 'X' account that ceases to have any meaning if it's censored, but it's actually more interesting for its fetish ingredients than its dix. It features a biker with a captive in a baseball cap (subtly roped round his ankles). Masters uses his 'double vision' technique to disguise a sharp object as a book.

 

 Masters' proclivity for S&M is well-documented and his early images as 'Kurt' feature leather dungeon scenes, which unfortunately are too extreme to show here. The examples I have are poor quality reproductions anyway.

Steve Masters - Cop and Biker

This image bridges the gap to Masters' better known style. The biker cum matelot reels back in wonder at the cop's enormous package, which has a pouch hidden in it, like a kid's picture puzzle. The cop's assets are supplemented by a truly 'bent' handlebar, which curls over his hip like a spare part at an orgy. 

 

The biker is wearing a matelot striped top that is sexily cropped. His jeans are already undone, but both men seem half undressed anyway, as their clothes seem to dissolve away below shoulder level, revealing nipples and abs. A bulbous fuel tank beneath the biker, between his thighs, signals the erotic momentum. 

 

 

Steve Masters - 'Lands End'

 This seems like a typical 60s surfer image at first sight, more wall hanging than erotica, with tasteful nudity. In fact, the two protagonists in the foreground are bikers, one a serious enough enthusiast to wear goggles. His discarded clothing, meticulously detailed in the foreground, is erotic in itself. No underpants! 

 

Masters employs a hybrid outline/shaded technique for the clothing that is fascinating technically. There's a slightly unreal quality that contrasts with the wearer's realistic nudity. The towel trailing between his legs looks wet and seems to show an appropriate outline beneath, but it's well disguised. 

 

The middle figure seems to be gazing out to sea as he undresses. His cap is not the conventional biker style, but more that of a seafaring captain, the nautical theme Masters often returned to. However, the jock suggests he's not pondering the mysteries of the Ocean. He's holding his belt stretched tight, suggesting tension (and perhaps a desire to unleash it). The end emerges from his clenched fist upright and looking like a banana, but I don't think it's his lunch. Not literally. His clothes also dissolve into outlines.

 

 The reclining figure in the background probably is a surfer or sunbather. There's a collage-like disconnect between him and the other figures that suggests to me that he, or his (sanitised) tackle, is the true object of the middle biker's attention. As though these are sketches for a larger, wide landscape picture.

 

I must admit I didn't know where Land's End was in the States*, although it turned out I'd actually been there a few years back. It's on the Pacific Coast side of San Francisco, not far from the Golden Gate Bridge. A popular cruising area, I believe.

 

*My efforts to find the answer to this seemingly simple question showed just how much Google has lost the plot as a search engine in recent years. It's much vaunted AI feature insisted there was no such place in the US, but, surprise, surprise, there was a clothing company of that name that I ought to know everything about. 

 

Thankfully, Wikipedia came to the rescue further down the page with that priceless commodity Google is no longer interested in - information. I can't wait for someone to launch a proper search engine again that supports research rather than advertising, I'd be willing to pay for it.

 

Steve Masters -Showers

I love the secret bottom-touching in this playful and fairly well-known locker room image. It's the best example I have seen of a coloured Masters picture. Authentic or not, I don't know, but it hasn't come from a magazine, it's an original picture. It looks as if it has been exposed to water damage, but that has fortuitously created a compensating effect of steaminess.

Free Checks at the Pump 

RR has a portfolio of sexy encounters between petrol pump attendants and drivers. Some are romantic. Others show one or other of them making the first move. Mature men and sexy jeans add pleasing dimensions to this one. You just don't do this to a thirty-something!

 

Pumping Gas

 I particularly like this one. The customer shamelessly flaunting his body is a great image in itself. He seems bemused by the pump attendant's comic response, but then it's pretty obvious that erotic subtlety is not his style!

 

 

Where D'ya Want It?

RR also visualises the pump monkey as a bit of a himbo who dresses in skimpy shorts at the behest of the owner to draw in customers. New boys who are unfamiliar with exotic car models may be the victim of mischievous customers, exploiting their naivety.

 

Dressed For A Hard Ride

Paths that wind through woods are a favourite stomping ground for AI art creators. You never know who you might meet on the trail so it's a good idea to wear suitable gear. 

 

Careful What You Wish For

Secluded trails are prime territory for cruising. RR invokes the 50s look in this eager, young face. He might be a bold, new boy learning the ropes, but looks are sometimes misleading. Nice to see that this stud takes precautions but doesn't discriminate.

Pillion Pupil 

There's a retro look here as well, which is apt in the context, as the biker who picks up the surfer type can be traced back to the 60s imagery of Etienne's 'Road Kings'. This biker isn't wearing leathers but a leotard, which replaces mysterious, dark sexuality with sporty freshness. It wouldn't earn him any brownie points from a safety point of view, but does no harm at all to his sexual allure. The opportunity to embrace him from behind, astride a bike, is one not lightly refused!

 

 

Cow Pokes

This was the golden age of American teenagers enjoying the freedom of driving and posing in their parent's cars and hanging out at drive-in venues of all sorts. However, the gay flirting pictured here was at best discreetly under the radar.

 

It was a time when men were starting to show their bodies, and there's some great imagery of shorts here. Not sure about the boots, but they do enable a comical slant. This image complements the ongoing 'Scout' posts at the Royale Studio gallery, which were contemporary.  

 

God Bless Jeans 1

One of the distinctive features of RR's work is the use of media mock-ups, like this billboard for jeans. There's a whole series of these with varied brands and different wearers, plus a range of rips and tears. It's hard to improve on the basic, undistressed look on the right bottom, though. Capable of provoking a range of imaginings. The bike parked underneath makes it look like he's just hopped off to pose in the magic window.

 

God Bless Jeans 2

I like this one because he's older and doesn't look like showing off his ass comes naturally. As if that rip only just happened, and he wouldn't have been showing it to us at all if the photographer hadn't made him lie that way round. He can't wait to make his escape!

Art by David Angelo 1

 

 The vintage gay art of the sixties that was printed in beefcake magazines of the time often seems quite amateurish, however this example by David Angelo has a pleasing blend of technical accuracy and sensuality. 

 

Inevitably, the model is clad in a posing pouch, a garment that often attracts derision in our own time, but the artist's treatment gives us a sense of size inside and entrapment, a straining to escape that shows us how the men of the time really saw it. Something truly erotic. 

More on vintage pouches 

 Angelo's drawing is based on a photograph of course, the model's physique and face looks rather like the great Rick Wayne.

 

David Angelo - Gunslinger

 

Cowboys were big in popular culture in the sixties, replete with handsome heroes. Angelo has given this one another idealised treatment, with prominent pecs and nipples straining at his tight shirt. The gun belt fulfils a similar restraining role below the waist. This last detail was not pure invention....

David Angelo - Wrestlers

For this image of two wrestlers, Angelo has cleverly used the same stark lighting to cover up a bold erotic statement. 

 

One of the fighters is caught in a position where he's off-balance and vulnerable. His flimsy pouch inevitably draws the eye, but it's also attracted his opponent's hand. It's groping underneath, in the shadow of his groin. This hold has nothing to do with wrestling! 

In addition, the fighter in the foreground is totally naked, and the dark shadow that hides his far leg accentuates the impression that he's presenting his backside to us. 

It's not simply the sexuality that is so daring, it's the homosexuality. In 1960, just putting men together in a picture was suspect.

 

The lattice pattern in the corner is not part of Angelo's picture, it's part of an adjacent image in a magazine spread. 

 

 

David Angelo - Pop Star's Finale

In 1963 when this picture was published, pop music was starting to shed its veneer of respectability with Beatlemania converting music concerts into manic, adoration events. With its focus on young love, however, it was (and still is) relentlessly heterosexual. Not many pop stars dressed in transparent shirts and matador pants like this (not yet). 

 

Nevertheless, many gay artists tried to incorporate pop into their images. Tom of Finland's 'Ringo' openly sought to subvert the idea of straight entertainers and I suspect Angelo is doing that here too, by showing us his rear view, tensed above opened legs, raised up on tip toes. The singer seems to be ignoring his female fans, who are noisily lusting after his front profile. He's casting aside, too, the female shape of his guitar*. "Come and get me", he seems to be saying. To us, not them.

 

Ultimately these images fail to capture the magical attraction of pop stars, because away from the mic', he's just another bloke. I think I have seen art images of a star being seduced on stage, but I can't cite it at present. Sex in front of a horde of screaming women is a bit niche for me!

 

*The singer's own shape has interesting undulations at waist level, with an odd fit into his pants at the left. It's almost as if Angelo couldn't quite decide how slim, how masculine to make him look.

 

 

Angelo - Slave Auction 

Ever since Victorian times, the Slave Auction has been a 'go to' for artists seeking to portray gender power play and sexploitation in a semirespectable way. It fitted readily into the adoption of classical settings by gay artists seeking to avoid censure in the 50s and 60s. 

 

Angelo's Romanesque take has a very unusual night setting, giving him an opportunity to play with light effects*. The physiques of the two spectacularly muscular men who are manacled and up for sale, are greatly flattered by it - to the benefit of their value too, I suppose.  

 

A key ingredient in this scenario is the depiction of the slaves' emotions. One is proudly displaying himself, seemingly indifferent to the fate which might await him. His companion is, if anything, more muscular, but seems to be cast as a younger servant. He reaches forward, holding up the cloth which screens their groins (for the time being). 

 

The bidders we can see in the audience seem to have their own favourites, suggesting these two will not remain united after the sale.

 

*Angelo seems to have achieved this night effect using chalk or crayon on black paper. It gives something of an etched effect. Some of the detailing is spectacular - the creases of the toga for example. Unfortunately, his characterisation of the second slave, using voluminous hair and rounded cherub cheeks is very much of it's time and doesn't work for us, even if we believed in such improbable muscularity to go with it. With a man's head and face, the whole image would work much better.
