For years, I have been trying to get a hold of a copy of HIM MONTHLY – #34 – (cover at this link) – and recently I got the next issue, HIM MONTHLY – #35, which contains these lovely images of TOBY and Ross Sanderson. Still need to get pics of TOBY and Morgan Winner, and Peter Moran
if you want to sort through all mentions of “workout” on BJland, and find a clip that’s NOT the promo clip let me know – I gotta get to work!

Shivaree pt 1 and Shivaree pt 2 found in the NOVA collection The Cruiser
Bud Wilson**, Chuck Stears, Clay Hughes, and Ron Stevens
what the F is a Shivaree???
**Bud Wilson – while seemingly only appearing in one film, Shivaree, I’ve found him in a magazine that makes me want to figure out if there is a corresponding film. More on that in a subsequent post.
Tom DeSimone, Director of ‘Chatterbox,’ ‘Hell Night’ and ‘Reform School Girls,’ Dies at 87 – sigh. Dunno what to say, but NONE of the headlines mention the porno work – but you will get this – “who emerged from the world of 1970s gay adult movies to direct such mainstream cult films as…. I know I am biased.. anyway. I love the nude photo, I need to dig up the magazine (In Touch, perhaps) and scan better quality.
this is photo most obits show – I’d like to see the full bottle of wine!
Not an obit, written 2 years ago, but this – Unsung Auteurs: Tom DeSimone discusses his adult film career in more detail than any of the obits I’ve read since hearing the news last night.
Just last week I began re-working BJ’s TOM DESIMONE page; great gay film maker – but hadn’t hit “publish” yet.
I never met Tom, but he did email me many many years ago offering a copy of the then impossible to find Confessions of a Male Groupie – (or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Electric Banana) – (1971) – one of his proudest works – and he asked (since I was an early blogger about porn) if I had an original copy of his The Idol (his PROUDEST work) because he had carefully selected the music, but Hand In Hand changed that not long after it put it out on VHS. I did not, but he sent a VHS copy of Confessions – and I was blown away – not for the sex, but the music, editing, and shear FUN! As he explained, everyone in this film were personal friends of his, the “freaks” he ran around with, and he was aching to do something other than typical porn.
Sweet Lady Mary –
My you can’t always get what you want post from some years back.
That Boy Next Door, starring Guy Tait and Tony Craig
Neither fella would grab my attention walking down the street, but that promotional flyer above certainly did! And despite the ad below, I think Guy Tait is the hotter one – lightly furry, that tie and office slacks!!!? C’Mon! And that tease at the end after Guy jumps into the pool!
photos (other than ads/promotional) from the NOVA magazine That Guy Next Door
promo clip for Hot Trash (1981) Directed by Darr Michaels (one-hit wonder?)
Starring: Gino Delmar, Eddie Harris, Rick Faulkner, Francisco Luis, Billy Lewis, Ted Stephen, Ben Barker, Greg Dale, Chris Burns, and Shane. Introducing David; cameo by Tom Dunn
no surprise i absolutely LOVE the sleezy voiceover! I have 1982 as the date, and the cast listing in a different sequence – that’s from my saved auction file, which usually reflects the cast in the order it appears in the movie. If 1981 is correct, I wonder if it was Gino’s or Rick’s first?
letterboxd listing –
I wish I hadn’t sold this one – mostly because I am curious about Rick Faulkner‘s pornformance.
Here are my notes from my 2006 eBay auction:
Director: Dar Michaels (1982) PRE CONDOM – 75 minutes running time
Starring: Gino Delmar, Rick Faulker, Eddie Harris, Francisco Luis, Billy Lewis, Ted Stephen, Ben Barker, Greg Dale, Chris Burns, and Shane. Introducing David; cameo by Tom Dunn
This Hawk Production features sex at a construction site as its theme. A landlord frets over the progress of construction as his father is about to visit. “Strong on sex and weak on imagination, this virtually continuous sexual romp highlights a great looking cast that is both ethnic and diverse.” – Bijou Video
ahhhh the days I had to use euphemisms for sex acts in those auctions!
let me hold those for you, Gordon
