oh, 1979 and to be a spokesmodel for a high quality product – available in money-saving supersize!
but seriously, I have long liked this model, his pose – the treasure trail, the eye-contact with the camera, the top button unbuttoned… but I wonder, have we seen him in photos or film outside of this ad campaign?
Many of you know I dig Joe Roberts – in fact you can see more Joe Roberts in BJLAND – but I didn’t realize I had one of his short films on a VHS tape I bought some years ago on the street, a West Village street fair, one of the few left that actually had folks clean out a basement and try to sell their stuff on the street (with minimal socks and sausage vendors, as well). At the time, I hesitated to make the purchase – not just becasue of the inconvenience of carrying around 2 tapes (what was the other one?), but more so because I was dating someone who, as it turned out, was a bit too hung up on my interest in vintage porn and my blog discussing that (and other rambling things!) But I bought it them anyway, while he was looking through another merchants stuff…
So, I finally digitized the tape, and below you can view this particular short film starring Joe Tharp (AKA Joe Roberts) and Daryl Paige. Gosh, I’ve even posted about A Good Day’s Work previously, but without the video. Enjoy!
Now, if you’ve read all the way to the bottom, do you think Daryl is thinking the whole time, “I need to take that comb out of my back posket and fix my hair” ???
what is he finding in there?
I was sure I must’ve posted pics, or a clip from Arch Brown‘s 1978 film, Pier Groups. But, alas, it appears I have not. So here is a preview/promo I stumbled upon while, of course, looking for something else.
Starring: Keith Anthoni, Alan Miles (Keith’s lover), Johnny Kovaks (Joe, the contractor), Rose Tattu; Pier Men – Victor Houston, Sven Jensen, Niles Long, Michael Penn, Ryder, Tone Stalione, Josef Tempesta
The cast list above is from the film itself, and the model “Niles Long” is NOT Myles Longue – some confusion happened some years back as the PM Productions packaging listed “Miles Long” – and at some point others thought they just misspelled Myles Longue (AKA Ed WIley) who was in fact in a Target film called Pier Pals which added to the confusion. You’ll see the same thing when you scroll down to the 2000’s VHS packaging as well.
My memory is that there is plenty of Pink Floyd, and some other late 70’s tunes (like Elton John) on the soundtrack. The tune for this preview is Cleanup Time, by Lewis Furey – not sure if that is also in the film.
Back when I sold a VHS copy in 2006, here is the beginning of my description: ” Keith Anthoni and his lover (Alan Miles) wake up and have morning sex. Meanwhile, Johnny Kovaks wakes up in bed with his wife, and gets a call from work – telling him to go to the West Side Piers to work up a demolition bid for the City. Anthoni has an unexpected day off – and passses neighbor Kovacs in the hall as he heads off to – those same notorious WEST SIDE PIERS! It’s fun to watch Kovacs work – measuring, jotting notes, non-chalantly moving past writhing bodies, in his construction outfit, as various clones eye him and realize he’s not there for sex like everyone else.” Of course, what I left out was that you might be disappointed with the ending – Johnny never engages with the other men, and in fact, each man arrives back at their apartment building at the same time, and Keith longingly looks at Johnny as he …. greets his wife! Arrrgggghhh!
previously: Pier Groups on BJland
I’ve long suspected that our JohnnyLlama works in a bookstore!
enjoy this clip of Johnny at work –
OK OK, from Heavy Equipment (1977); director: Lancer Brooks; – cast: Jack Wrangler, Roger, Chris Adams, Chris & Tim ; non-sex roles: Steve Tracy (Chester, the clerk), Adam Neumar (boss), Jennifer Cashoty (lady customer), and David Warfield (old man)
music: Roys Ayers Exotic Dance, and that gosh darn muzak/jazzy Working On The Railroad
note the lack of Kurt Williams name in the ad! CUZ he ain’t in the film (and least not a sex role) oh, and see me below cleaning the house trying to find my VHS copy of this film. Then, of course, taking a break with Mr. Wrangler
Seriously, it took a week to find the video – and – see below – my desk, the one I am sitting at as I type, and where I compose 95% of my posts… look on the bottom shelf… what the? Anyway, appears that I do have a version that has the sound properly synced – so maybe a future post?
Mr. Gay Nude – where are you?
someone used the term the other day, and 2 minutes later I stumbled upon this pic of Bryan Harris from the film Room Service Plus. Normally I don’t care for photos with an insert of a smaller photo, but jeez someone got it right here!
I thought of adding more, but let’s leave these two here, and someone can remind me later to find more Brian + Tico pics later.
Boilerman’s Tool pt 1 Director John Gamble (1976) Big Luke, Rip Roren, and Bruce –
Funny, I was super sure I had posted at least a pic or two of Big Luke, but alas, one mention is all I could find with a simple search. Anyway, that top photos is probably my fave of his… and while he is quite handsome, I must admit that the images that use the construction helmet to shadow his face are sexier – just the mystery, and you can then only focus on the body, the cock… you know. And luckily he was in at least one film, so here you go!
