Mitchell's Fetish Art for October - The Swimming Team

The National Swimming Team were delighted with the skimpy trunks in team colours, which they were given to wear at the World Championships. At a boozy send-off celebration they all decided to wear them on the plane travelling out, to demonstrate their pride in the team.

The Championships were being held that year in a country not renowned for it's liberal attitudes and sense of humour. When the border guards spotted them queueing at immigration, wearing nothing but swimming trunks (that covered very little), the whole team was immediately detained.


Their wrists were tied together and they were locked up together for several hours in a small, hot, and very smelly cell. It was clear something needed to be done to placate the guards. It was the Team Captain saved the day by volunteering to take one for the team in the end. This sufficed to ease his passage but the rest of the team had to watch uncomfortably as he negotiated the Officer in charge. They were all wondering, if they had to make a similar sacrifice, how on earth would they obtain replacement trunks in time to take part in the Championships?

mitchmen's war No15 - The Batman No 3 - The Aussie Driver

1. AUSSIE GUNNERS

 This picture of a an Australian gunnery team in action presses an number of buttons for me.

The bare torsos of course, but also the shorts and the chunky legs in rugby-style socks.

The abundance of muscles, hairy chests and even nipples is quite unusual for this genre.

I have added colour to these images to bring out those attractive features 

(and edited out some gratuitous racism from the text).

The blond character in the foreground is a male stereotype of a by-gone age, 

but the two characters behind him seem more contemporary, they are nicely drawn
 with some sexy body grooves dissappearing into their shorts.

I'd say this artist likes men.

(On a historical note, some Brits might be surprised to learn that
the Aussies also suffered aerial attacks on their home soil during WWII)

2.

 The shorts shown in this image are closer to the regulation length and a lot less interesting!

In the story 'Davis' is a Brit who has been assigned to this Australian outfit, thus setting the scene for a classic 'outsider' story. This gains extra spice from the fierce rivalry between Brits and Aussies, which has been nourished by over 100 years of encounters in sports where both lay claim to being 'Top Dog'.

As I write this England and Australia have just shared the spoils in 'The Ashes' cricket series
and are about to contest the Rugby World Cup. 

3.

 The attackers do return and take the Aussie defenders by surprise.

Davis (in the trench) sees a driver caught out in the open.

These two frames have a clever yin-yang interlock at a number of levels. Visually it portrays the looping swoop of the attacking aircraft very well. A modern artist would probably blend the frames together more but this old school method is equally effective. The right hand frame is also a little gem in the way it catches the menace of the attacker and the vulnerability of the fleeing driver. We can see he has been hit in the back, adding a twist of pathos.

The inclusion of Davis in the foreground shows him as a brave man but rather foolhardy in these circumstances. He rises with arms spread for balance but it creates something of a 'rescuing angel' effect. There's a hint of homo-eroticism in the way these two are shown running towards each other, almost like lovers who are being re-united.

4.

 This touchy-feely image does not entirely dispell that impression!
Continuity nerds will find fertile ground for comment in this group of images. 

5.

Here Davis seems to be nestling next to the soldier protectively, 

and his chin appears to be resting on the Aussie's hairy chest
Are his eyes closed or is he peeking?
We can only imagine where his right hand is!

Note an actual nipple and a rivulet of sweat breaking the modesty rules,
an unmistakeably homoerotic image. 

6.

The drawing technique falters in this image and I have slightly altered the soldier's face to make it look better, Davis touches the soldier's head, but he's surprisingly tender. His face is a model of concern for the serviceman, but his eye-line sees to be directed at those generous pecs (properly minus nipples this time).

The bottom half of the soldiers body is constrained by the 'portrait' oriented frame here but the artist has shoe-horned in a sexy upraised left thigh on the far side - and very short shorts.
In the lower foreground that's not his right thigh you can see, but his raised right knee.
It's obscuring the crotch area (and maybe that's just as well).

7.

In the story, Davis is hurt by the Aussie's reminder that he is still an outsider

and the rejection of his genuine concern for the injured man.

Nevertheless, he chucks the man affectionately under the chin like an unrequited lover.  

From the expression on his face, the fallen soldier doesn't seem to mind.

Unfortunately the stretcher bearers interrupt them at this little intimate moment. 

The artist supplies another nice rendering of the Aussie's physique 

with ample muscular definition but a slender build. 

Nice shorts too, with just the tiniest hint of a bulge!

8.

The CO admonishes Davis for his foolhardy behaviour and life/war goes on.

~

As is my wont, I imagined a different outcome to this scene

in which the swirling homoerotic undercurrents gain a fuller expression.

In my version images 1-5 tell the same story with the same suspected gay twist.

There's a new picture 6 (below)

It's love/lust at first sight for the two men 

(and no, for you sceptics, the Aussie isn't concussed!

- but his wounds have miraculously healed.)

Davis is glad that zips haven't been invented yet.

7. New Version

As you might expect, the Aussie is taken by surprise by the offer.

Why would this Officer want him as a servant?

Australian blokes don't do service, especially for Poms.

But on the other hand, he is attracted to the man,

and it might turn out to be a cushy billet, 

safer than driving mobile targets for enemy aircraft anyway!

8. New Version (click to read the smaller, trouser text)

Davis' casual, hands in pocket pose takes on an explicit meaning
You'll gather the Aussie driver said 'yes', well 'maybe' at least.
We wish him a speedy recovery!

These images are taken from War Picture Library No 1696 'The Darkest Hour'
(I also used this cover image in a previous post No 7 Flashing The Flesh)

 I can't say if this is the same artist, but you can see a similar appreciation of men.

As this cover image suggests, Davis ends up in the jungle later on
 and there's more bare flesh action when he comes to the rescue of another man
who is captured and being tortured by the enemy.
(bit of a pattern here!)

Chet Chastain - A Villain of the Ring - 5

There's a saying that when the going gets tough........
Chet's certainly finding it tough against Mark Muscles here
who lifts him like a rag doll in a nasty throttle hold.

I've included a number of shots from this contest in this series, if you enjoy seeing a seasoned villain getting a lesson, I recommend a visit to wrestler4hire.com to view more of this video 

He's getting another clobbering here from Jesse Vane on the Pro circuit.
Chet gives us a nice shocked expression (coupled with remarkably revealing trunks!)
At this point as they say "....... the tough get going".
Photo credit Brian Photo

That saying certainly applies to Ring Villains, and Chet is undoubtedly tough,

but tradition has it that the 'getting going' for baddies usually involves turning tail.
But then, who would not quail when confronted in a cage by Danny Demented?

Unfortuately, being dragged back in by the hair is equally traditional.
Chet doesn't have a lot of hair to grab, so it probably hurts more.
He wears this latest humiliation as well as ever, it has to be said.

Chet's trim frame is key to his visual appeal but it makes him vulnerable to lifts as we have already seen. Being cast as the proverbial sack of potatoes is not supposed to be part of a bad boy image, especially when it comes with a painful, back-breaker twist and the knowledge that a bruising drop to the mat is just round the corner.
Chet's trunks reveal no signs of distress as yet though.

This pained expression suggests that the battering is starting to tell
Chet suffers more hair-pulling and back pressure from Flash LaCash,
who squats on Chet's bottom to obtain additional leverage.
His manic grin speaks for itself. It ain't over yet, Chet! Don't cry!

Chet goes into squeal mode as Tristan Baldwin starts to establish his ascendancy.
This single-sided restraint hold has limited scope for delivering pain
so Chet's reaction seems a trifle OTT, however,
his torso is wide open to Tristan's clenched fist, if he doesn't get going soon!

Too late! This crab hold is about to get fierce judging by Tristan's face
Which seems to suggest a sensual anticipation of leisurely revenge.
It's not all in his mind either, viz: the well- filled orange trunks.
Chet's face is a study in resigned dread.

It must be galling to be flung around by men who don't look agile or fit!
Off-balance and pinned in the corner by a choke hold that could finish him,
Chet seems desperate here, sensing control slipping away to The Mountain,
 but he still finds time for a sexy pose for his fans.

In the hands of such a huge man, the simple, double arm twist is lethal,
and difficult to escape from. Chet's got something to howl about now and duly obliges.
Mountain's happy grin suggests a wish fulfilled, a bad boy helpless & humbled.

Who's the tough guy now?

Guido Genatto looks suitably dignified and dominant as Chet grovels.

In bad boy encounters this can often be a dangerous moment, 

an opportunity for a sneaky trick, a suckers punch.

But against Guido? Rather you try it than me, Chet!

Even when he's on the back foot, Chet still looks sexy

He wears a look of shock and indignation here,

 as Biff Farrell, who looked like a cute novice in part 3, 

shows his strength and hoists him.

Biff's punishment list for Chet includes this devilish, sexy back-breaker

Which has extreme potential if his legs push upwards.

It softens Chet up (well his back anyway) in preparation for the next hold.

Which is the good old Boston Crab,
Biff's chunky thighs and buttocks speak of great power potential here.
He's hardly begun to apply it yet and already Chet is wailing.
He'll be regretting his earlier, sneaky trick now!

If you don't like it, you can always end it Chet!

But Mark Muscles seems to be bulging with effort to keep his mouth closed

The ref seems to be prepared for a long wait too.

The opportunity for Chet to submit passes 

and, willingly or not, he soldiers on against hopeless odds.

Lifted aloft again and paraded in a most ignominious way.

Referee Brendan Cage undresses, he must have seen something he likes!
These boys just can't get enough of Chet!
Who can blame them?

~

My apologies to these sexy boys if I have misrepresented them in any way.
I probably don't need to explain that I have arranged these images to suit my own interests and narrative. The action sequence and outcomes of individial bouts featuring Chet may be quite different to my description here.

Chet Chastain - A Villain of the Ring - 4

When a bad boy goes too far, it's soon pay-back time......in like manner.

Tristan Baldwin gives Chet a painful taste of his own trickery
just when he thinks he's got the match in the bag.

Against Danny Demented's  bulk Chet's always been on the back foot
and now discovers he's not the only man to use dubious tactics when he's in the driving seat, getting a face claw that produces a fine torso shot for on-lookers.

Flash LaCash manages to turn a mouth-invading claw into something even more humiliating as Chet sprawls helplessly between his legs.

A fierce- looking Dolph Danner demonstrates that the ropes can be a fickle friend,
trapping Chet in a creative tangle that leaves him down on his knees
 and hopelessly exposed to back leverage.

Guido Genatto also uses the ropes against him, choking off resistance.
It's outside the rules and the ring but Chet can hardly grumble
about getting a dose of his own medicine.

Hoisted by his own petard, Chet is forced to crawl in shame

Part of a string of humiliations dished out for him by this opponent.

Chet's muscular torso is impressive but unresisting
as Guido mashes his superiority into his face.
Chet's bulging trunks here might be giving Guido other ideas........

He traps Chet in the corner and reverses into him, battering his manhood.
I'm not sure if Chet's expression reflects physical pain
or revulsion at the implications of intimacy.
(I love the cut of his trunks here).

The ultimate humiliation for a bad boy?
Chet is put face-down on the mat and mockingly humped by Guido Gennatto
Whose own trunks are unexpectedly revealing here.

In some ways it's even worse when two less awesome opponents gang up to make him look inept.
Alex Oliver teams up with Austin Cooper to gain some revenge for his own suffering at Chet's hands,
Putting Chet into a spinning 'Rack' which creates interesting shadowing in Chet's trunks.
I'm beginning to think he likes it!

Alex may not be the most skilled of wrestlers or the most evil,
But he doesn't let his image stand in the way of adding extra pressure
 to Austin Cooper's over-the-back examination of Chet's pain threshold.

We saw Damien Rush hoisting Chet like a sack of potatoes in a previous post

Now he's rubbing his nose in the ring dirt with a casual authority that is scary.

Suddenly Chet's cute little ass seems symbolic of a humiliation worse than defeat.

Mark Muscles seems keen to make the same point with this bearhug lift
Seemingly splaying Chet's legs apart with his arm pressure
Even Chet's trunks betray him and collaborate in mocking his helplessness
by making an opening lips pattern either side of the centre seam
Brendan Cage laughs at him from the sidelines.

Even the photographer has deserted poor Chet, capturing his cheeky bottom in a provocative but less than flattering pose, as Danny Demented makes him grovel and crawl on the way to a defeat that was inevitable from the moment he  stepped in the ring.

Is this sexy underwear pose the end of Chet's come-uppance?
Nope, there's more to come next time

Chet Chastain - A Villain of the Ring - 3

We've seen Chet's an irredeemable show-off with a ruthless streak
Sometimes he's shows he's got a naughty side too.

This attempt to embarrass Brice Moore seems rather petulant
and probably not Chet's finest hour as a ring villain.

He looks the part more when stretching the rules against Ty Alexander,
simultaneously enjoying the chance to flex his pecs for us

Unfortunately, as a true bad boy, he can't resist slipping in really underhand tricks,

here catching Biff Farrell by surprise before the fight has even begun.

He successfully uses a similar ploy against Tristan Baldwin
Previously, we've seen him giving a good account of himself against this opponent,
but it seems Chet simply can't resist resorting to skulduggery.
However, Tristan's no pussy, is Chet playing with fire?

You don't need a diagram to know that Chet is up to something naughty here.
It's a great way of humiliating opponents if you can pull it off (so to speak)

but is it wise to wind up two big guys like Blake Morris and Rex Lawless?

You're being a very bad boy Chet!

But every man meets his match eventually
and sometimes a bad boy can see that man coming for him

In this case it's the hulk that is Danny Demented.
Chet's apprehensive look at the camera speaks volumes.

.

. 

At times like this you can see the cocky confidence draining away
and contrary to the usual saying,  it is a very pretty sight.
Especially when his ring partner looks equally dismayed

and seems to be hanging back, pushing Chet into the firing line.

Here we see realisation dawning in mid contest after Chet's been put down.
He's looking cute and appealing, but that's not going to help him now.

Methinks this isn't going to end well for him.

. 

Chet knew it would be hard to pull off his sneaky tricks against Man Mountain

But you can sense his sinking feeling as he is pulled in close by the hulk

Trapped, with no way to escape, he's looking out of his depth for once.

Damien Rush looks far less formidable by comparison,
so when he teaches Chet what it's like to be paraded around
like a piece of ring baggage, it's got to be a bit of a downer.

 

Mark Muscle's strength also allows him to casually carry Chet over his shoulder,
Maybe he's planning to cart him off to the dressing room and showers.
You can see Chet doesn't like it, being helpless like this
Luckily (or unluckily!) Brendan Cage is happy to wait for his turn to torment Chet.

If being helplessly lifted in a stronger man's arms is humiliating, 

the tough guy act understandably wilts further when he's trapped 

 knowing that something nasty is coming his way from Danny Demented.

Something like this.

If Chet thought the corner padding would protect his assets,

It seems like he was wrong, Danny delivers a bouncing bomb.

Wait for it!
It ought to be a doddle for Chet to escape this telegraphed punch
But the Man Mountain has Chet so demoralised he can only stand and take it
like a rabbit trapped in the headlights, it's a great moment.

Mountain's follow-on lift seems to have Chet positively terrified
A cynic might think that those yellow trunks have sapped his morale.
Or perhaps it's Mountain's grip on his crotch that's triggered this grimace.

It's the moment a wrestler dreads when the legs are folded and trapped like this.

Yellow trunks are beginning to develop unpleasant associations for Chet
But his ass certainly looks pretty as Flash LaCash lines him up for a surfboard.

Flash has got Chet howling already, in another great pose for his admirers.
Sadly I don't have an image of the deadly lift.

When a bad boy's down, no-one seems to care!

Not even referee Brendan Cage, who stands by watching
as Mark Muscle makes Chet (in yellowish trunks) look very puny indeed.

Chet's fortunes may be on the slide but boy does he look good!
