Countdown to Mardi Gras: NOLA Slideshow of Street Scenes Seen
Parties, protesters and counter- protesters. God is Unfair? No shit, Sherlock. He’s the Top, and it’s a life-long scene that ends in a snuff. Enough? There is always more where that came from. That’s the way it works, you see. More to come…

Flogging the Peg Boy! Sexy Sailors from London’s Studio Royale.
Another interesting vintage photograph. From Studio Royale of London.* It’s got that mid-century film still thing going on and a nice reference to the old law of the sea. Whether in the legitimate Navies or their pirate shadows authority condensed into the will of a single man, the Captain, and was enforced by, among other things…the sting of the lash.
For another mid-century photo, this one of mysterious provenance, click here. For more on homoeroticism on the high seas, check out Hans Turley’s Rum, Sodomy and the Lash: Piracy, Sexuality and Masculine Identity. NYU Press, 1999.

Point. And. Shoot!

Patrick Mulcahey informs us that the model is John Pruitt, a favorite of Colt Publishing. Gerard Koskovich ids the photographer as Jim French, aka Rip Colt. Thanks, Guys!

mundies
meme: a shortening of the word mimeme, from the Greek for ‘to imitate’ originating from mimos, ‘to mime’…
In an online photo context, let’s call it ‘monkey see, monkey do’…
Over at some of my other hangouts, photo memes are a means to generate quick content, interact with others and often a chance to show off the booty…
Mundies is short for Monday Undies. Allow me to demonstrate:
I have a thing for underwear; I have a thing for no underwear. I have a thing for underwear as outerwear.
What can I say, other than, “If you wear ’em, share ’em!”
