MALES in USA

back cover of one of the Males In USA publications put out by JDC Studios (Cadinot) – these one featuring the work of Jon Target (Target Studios) – model Brand (and here – Brand) – if you search “BRAND” on BJland you’ll get too any results, so I’ve linked 2 / 3 = including his AKA Brahm Van Zetten – I’m pretty sure the setting is Fire Island.

If I remember correctly, there might also be ROGER, Boyd Winner, and other models you’ve likely seen from Target.

Blues in the Afternoon


Rod Mitchell and Josh Kincaid

sigh.

Blues in the Afternoon (AKA Hit the Deck) (1979) – (mentioned before on BJland – I keep wondering why Target often has 2 names for their films. Perhaps the initial film release has one title, and when they re-released on VHS, along with a magazine, it got the new title? Just a guess. All images, save the 8mm advert just below, are from what I think is a publication called Blues in the Afternoon – or an extensive spread in something else – 25 pages in all, set in Fire Island – gotta be the Belvedere – right? Love the photography – and while my preference might usually by close-ups and medium shots, I enjoy Jon Targets eye for showing these beautiful bodies in the longer shots, with the awesome angles of the pool and deck on black and white. Having said that, my favorite photo of this pair is definitely the last one in this post.

who you may remember from such films as:

  • Blues in the Afternoon (pts 1 & 2) AKA Hit the Deck (1979) – Bullet Videopac 5 – with Rod Mitchell
  • Teacher’s Pet AKA Master Lesson (1979) – found in Bullet Videopac 9 – with Bruno
  • Against the Rules (1980) found in FVP008 – w/Mac Turner in pt 1; Mac & Eric Nolte in pt 3
  • Three’s Company AKA Coming Attractions (1981) – found in Bullet Videopac 8 – with George Broadway and Rod Mitchell
  • Tad’s Lads ???? – check out link, I don’t think so

I think this is the best place to pause, and read. My god what an ass! Isn’t Kyle lucky! Anyway, 3 loops for Target Studios; 2 include Rod Mitchell (needs its own post). Plus 2 for Falcon – on the same VHS tape ( Against the Rules has 3 parts, Josh is in #1 and #3; pt 1 is a bit disturbing, I have to say, as the “kid/cadet” keeps saying no to “coach”; pt 3, the 3-way, is portrayed as totally consensual). It’s interesting in porno world, you can do a couple of films in 1979/80, but the magazines can go on for years. In this case, I don’t know that any new still photography came out after 1980 – looks like everything was created off the films, and then, by what, 1982/83, with the popularity of home video, magazines reflected “new” VHS releases of films made years earlier, and featured these earlier imagery.

Two Three mysteries – Kyle Hazard and Josh – no film(s)? and stills of Josh and Branch Lester? Don’t think I’ve seen those. 3rd mystery, having pontificated that the stills are all from the film shoots, or about the same time, what about the July 1982 issue of Honcho, photos from FALCON, of Josh poolside? Same shots, or corresponding shots in the 1982 Falcon magazine FALCONERS #4 (promoting FVP008 “videopac” Against the Rules. No such corresponding film, as far as I know!

who you may remember from such films as:

I’ve not been able to find if that film ever made it onto VHS or DVD, but so far, no go
His limited output is a mix of solo shots, and paired with 2 other men – Joe Kellogg (seen below from Ramrod 4, and another man, I.D. as of yet undetermined – brown curly hair, paired up in Javelin 2 and HIM Exclusive No 15 (seem to be same set of photos). I may well have been terribly wrong, as I’ve got this pair also listed as “Dan & Jerry” – which you’ll see I have previously posted as a couple pics of the pair in my profile of Dan Donovan – I know the hair/facial hair is different for (these) brunette guy(s), but the face? different guys? I’ll add a few more pics below, and y’all can help me sort it out! Maybe I got the blond wrong, too!!!?


who you may also remember from such publications as:

who you may remember from such films as:



Target model Branch Lester (AKA Al Foshe, and Clyde when he modeled for Blueboy Magazine) – one film, solo, and all solo pics – but one set from – 1997????!! – is the only I’ve seen with him partnered. WHO IS THAT??

Anyway, when I wanted to add the video, it took forever to find the VHS tape down in the pornbasement, then realized I’ve got a new computer without the software conversion – ugh! But if you look down at the bottom of this post, you’ll see the quality of the tape probably wasn’t going to yield a god result – remember SP, LP, and EP speeds, are y’all too young? Alas, the internet saved me, and we have the nearly 9-minute film.
