Ric exhaled. “Sorry… didn’t mean to chub up again.”
Turk snorted. “Yeah, sorry boss—can’t help it.” Precum already forming at the tip.
“It happens,” Roy said. “Impressive… but we can’t have a sword fight in this shoot—turn your weapons away from the camera.”
They pivoted, still linked.
“Arms up—stay connected. Lean in,” Roy said, smiling. “Now this… this I can use.”
1. Unknown Models (but I think it might be Ric Dreslin aka Jean-Claude and Turk again??)
The white tank top lives in that in-between space—technically underwear, but not always treated that way. It’s the kind of thing a guy throws on under his work clothes… and then just keeps on when he gets home, cracks a beer, and starts messing around in the yard.
2. Ivan Prescott (I believe by Champion)(pulling on his socks)
3. Mark Nixon (dressing in the closet)
4. Gerald Oglesby (tank and baggy underwear)
Somewhere along the way it picked up the nickname “wife beater”—more about the stereotype than the shirt itself, pushed by old movies and a certain rough, blue-collar image. Fair or not, the look stuck: thin, tight, a little worn in… and doing a lot more showing than it probably should.
5. Buddy Houston (stumped)
6. Blue Max Hensley aka Jim Sexton aka William Sexton (reading)
7. Jorge (getting a hand)
For me, that’s what's hot about it. It feels like you’re catching a guy in-between—getting dressed, getting undressed… not really caring who’s looking. And of course, that’s exactly when I start looking a little closer.
8. Guy McCoy (sideburns and boulder)
9. Manfred Speer (stache and burns)(I have such a crush on this guy;p, something tells me this is his pseudonym...sounds like a way of saying "penis" man spear-haha)
10. Pietro Boseli (getting dressed or undressed)(I know he's not mid-century, but I'll make an exception for this beauty;)
Feeback?
Would love help confirming #1 models and #7 last name. Also, if anyone knows Manfred's real name...or any other thoughts or insights?..
