rockshots


I was hoping to do a fuller post on photographer Michael Rock, and gay greeting card company ROCKSHOTS – but click that link and it’s broken! Who can forget the “Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.” card??? I know he used Ron Raz a lot as a model (given the chance, who wouldn’t??!!), and if you click thru you’ll see Santa Ron. Michael Rock’s photos appeared in MANDATE (frequently in 1977, but other years as well), most notably the January 1980 issue (see pic below), including cover; also in at least the January 1983 Honcho, multiple issue of PLAYGUY…. Anyone else remember ROCKSHOTS?

oh wait – the Michael Rock / Rockshots article has been moved to the Archives – yeah!

Playguy SANTA

wish I had a better version of this photo by Roy Blakey; also wish I could narrow down the month this PLAYGUY, Vol 5, No 1 – I am fairly sure it is 1980 – December? January?

STUDIO TCS

  • Summer of Scott Noll (1981) dir Mark Reynolds
  • All American Boys (1982) dir Mark Reynolds
  • A Summer Fantasy (1982) dir Mark Reynolds
  • Doing It (1983) dir Steve Scott
  • Gold Rush Boys (1983) dir Steve Scott
  • Buster….: The Best Years (1984) dir Mark Reynolds
  • Fantasize (1984) dir Mark Reynolds
  • One Size Fits All (1984) dir Mark Reynolds
  • I Do (1984) dir Steve Scott
  • Best Friends (1985) dir Mark Reynolds

Can’t recall why this TCS Studios post got started, and remained in the drafts folder for a couple years. A note “8 minutes previews” was my only clue, so I tracked down the clip, and you see it above highlighting some of the 8-10 films from this Studio. I listed only the ones I think were produced by TCS, and if you look at GEVI you’ll see a handful more distributed by them as well.

Of note, as I hadn’t really followed Mark Reynolds career – “Larry Ginsburg (real name) began in 1974 marking film loops under Brentwood’s Starline brand although there were several Starline films he did not do. An interior designer he had never seen films until just before he decided to do his own. After “creative differences” with Brentwood, he founded the Trade!Mark Studio. He formed TCS studios as a separate company with different “standards.” Here he did one film and then used Steve Scott as director because Scott already had done good sound work on Face to Face and Reynolds had not worked with sound. Cameraman Tom Howard said the Reynolds preferred younger guys who had less experience, making the filming more difficult. He was also said to take much more time filming than others like Steve Scott.”

Curious where GEVI gets this from – I show Face To Face as a Steve Scott film (but yes, I agree Scott is great at sound); and Reynolds only doing one film for TCS? – at least half are credited to him! hmmmmmm OK, i am re-reading; he did one film, then got Steve Scott on board, not necessarily to do all the rest of the films for the studio.

The above clip I think I downloaded just to capture some images for when I sold the VHS tape –

Flesh 1995


Flesh 1995 at Gay Erotic Video Index


Director: Ken Holloway (1985) pre-condom – 78 minutes running time

Starring: Ian Phillips, Chris Allen, David Ashfield; with Vincent Thomas, Chris Thompson, Jimmy Jagger, Rick Gerard, Paul Auchon, Chad Combs (AKA Chad James), Tony Kennedy, John Andrews, D.L. Smith – special appearance by Shawn Victors

I sold this tape back in 2006/7; these are some notes from that eBay auction – and I’ve recently downloaded for your viewing pleasure, a (not too awful) copy of the movie. As you can tell, the description is geared towards what eBay would allow in a description (topping, not fucking) and what buyers were looking for (precondom was the big thing to highlight if it applied). Let me know if this old description holds up! I am posting this without viewing the video – I was actually hoping to get more stills from the magazine, but alas, now that eBay has dried up as a source of pics…. enjoy!

“Flesh 1995 is an exciting science fiction fantasy that blends a hot futuristic plot with plenty of hard stud action! A limited nuclear war has rendered 95% of surviving male population sterile. The ruling power has decreed all sex for pleasure forbidden – only sex for procreation is declared legal. However, a few handsome, endowed young men have been licensed to have sex for pleasure in order to appear on the government owned TV program, “Sexarama”! Flesh 1995 is their X-Rated story.”

  • Two guys ( Paul Auchon , Tony Kennedy) do an erotic dance in the nude for the TV show before uniting for uncut oral and anal sex.
  • Chris Allen talks dirty with a tuxedoed buddy (Jimmy Jagger) as they like each other’s foreskin and have oral sex. Then dirty-talking Chris tops.
  • A macho man in a uniform instructs his partner to strip and service him while he wields a knife and a nightstick.
  • Two men in uniforms, Chris Thompson and Vincent Thomas, are ordered to allow their boss (Ian Phillips) to service them. All three men are uncut and share oral. Chris Thompson utilizes a nightstick before topping the boss condomless.
  • David Ashfield, in a baseball uniform and jockstrap, a blond, and Chad James engage in a 3-way. They are joined by the tuxedo-clad host and uncut Chris Allen. Dave tops Chris condomless, nice close-ups. Chris Allen shows off his hard, muscled physique as he stands over hairy Chad James.
