ouch ouch ouch!! watch out for the splinters, man! Oh, Charley Smith – seen here from Mandate, and we know he’s graced the cover of Blueboy at least twice – September of 1980 and 1981; appeared in Blueboy at least twice more (January 1980, March 1982) + 1980 December Numbers, Honcho 1982, and of course the above March 1983 MMandate – and I am sure our JohnnyLlama can tell us more.
Meanwhile, enjoy a few more from a recently acquired Blueboy, below.
One reply on “splinters”
Way to put me on the spot BJ!
Just kidding, and thanks for the mention.
I really thought I had said all there was to say about Charley Smith in my post from 2021, but after checking my notes it turns out I do have a few tidbits to add:
In addition to the mags you listed, there was an earlier Mandate appearance in the May 1981 issue.
Also the following:
Bronc Dec 1981 (in nothing but cowboy hat, black leather chaps, and boots- sooo hot)
Stroke Aug 1983
Bunkhouse Sept 1996 (likely a reprint of an earlier photoset)
Numbers special issue Urban Cowboys in 1985 (probably a reprint of his earlier cowboy photoshoot)
B&W prints and color slides by photographer Graven Image (I know almost nothing about these except they are probably from the same set published in Mandate March 1983 with the “splinters” ha) According to Smutjunkies “Probably Graven Images most popular & published model.”
I suspect he was only active in gay porn (as a print-only model) from 1980-1983 and despite all these appearances in all these mags probably only posed for about 4 or 5 photoshoots total. The rest would be reprints of the same sets.
He was from Texas, so he probably had a sexy accent. Here’s a 2005 quote from a “Stephen” who supposedly knew Charley: ”Tireless little disco stud from a small town near Houston. Made a living cutting hair, but wasn’t much good at that. Liked working out; laying around a pool; and, mostly, incredible quantities of the old in-and-out. I knew him in Dallas in ’81 and ’82.”
Finally, I think he is one HOT little muscle puppy whose thick, dark, scrub brush mustache is one of the most impressive I’ve ever seen.
OK, that’s it. Really. I’m sure you’re sorry you asked.
