I walk alone and yet I never say goodbye

my apologies

i see at least 3 weeks worth of unanswered emails in my various in boxes (not a euphemism); not that there's a lot, but i've just been even more lazy than usual when i get home from work. but I'll slog thru them eagerly reply to them over the next couple of days, i promise

those stylish studs from men's fashion catalogs

hmmmmm, another obsession, 70's porno guys in 70's men's catalogs - grrrr

false alarm?

I may be needlessly excited, but I stumbled upon something on the interweb this morning, and snatched this pic (ewwwww, i typed snatch!), a still I don't think I've seen before - at least not outside an actual long-gone porno theatre....

Richard Locke's first film

DREAMER

"You don't have to see DREAMER with someone you love, DREAMER is someone you love."

directed by: J. Clinton West (aka Jim West) (1975)

Starring: Clay Grant, Richard Locke (no beard, just the mustache!), Dave Daniel, and Mike Mitchell

I love this trailer! Nicely edited with great music, alternating the moods from the film from passionate to pensive..... Of course, it is yet another example of one of my pet peeves, soon to be detailed in my upcoming book - How HIS VIDEO has ruined our great gay vintage porno past. I've detailed a bit of my rant for this film here - DREAMER; no respect - basically an 87 minute film chopped down to 65 minutes! Grrrrrrr....

(bad pun with word LOCK in it, perhaps spelled locke)

why do something well if you can do it half-assed? The picture on the right is from a 1987 issue of MEN, and the one on the right I am guessing is from MANDATE, (but I can't be sure) - the motorcycle helmet he is wearing/sitting on alludes to his performance in the 1975 film Dreamer. The photo of him pulling on the condom is from the period when he came out of retirement in the mid 80's to promote safer sex.

Ah Men

mmmmmmm, Gordon Grant (too often his first name misspelled as Gordan, sigh) and Bill Cable (known to most Colt Studios fans as Stoner) in this ad from an Ah Men catalogue. Ah Men was a male clothing company that I believe started in the mid to late 60's, and survived at least til the late 70's. For you younger guys, think International Male or Undergear; for serious collectors of male clothing catalogs, think That Look from the 80's. Off the top of my head, I can think of at least two other porno stars who modeled for Ah Men, Paul Barresi and Ty Arthur. Looks like another item for that long list of "to be researched further projects" I'm compiling for when I lose my job.

"why don't you just give me some of that?"

HOT HOUSE

"Excuse me; where the hell's the toilet?"

director: Jack Deveau (1977)

I love this clip, which I first posted as ROGER & PEE back in 2005 - check out the original post, gives a bit more info.

Dear Daddy, my name is Brad. I go to school at NYU.....

DADDY DEAREST

"Dear Daddy, my name is Brad. I go to school at NYU. I'm 20 years old, horny, and I need a Daddy!"

directed by: Arthur J. Bressan, Jr. (1984)

Starring: Richard Locke, Daniel Holt, Johnny Dawes, Robert Vega, Dean Johnson, Andrew Dupree, and Jan Boscamp.

One of those film-within-a-film pornos that I love so much. This one is about porno filmmaker, Daniel Holt (obviously mirroring the real life director, Artie Bressan), making a porno called Fuck Me, Fuck Me Daddy. The film-within-a-film stars Dean Johnson (at the time a doorman at NYC's Boy Bar) as an NYU student who answers a personal ad for a daddy (portrayed by Richard Locke). Daddy Dearest explores the director's past relationships, and his fantasy that one day, one of the young stars of his films will be interested in him and stay after the porno film is completed.

pissy mood

A week or two ago I as out, by myself, drinking beer, leering at the handsome men, bouncing my head to the occasionally decent music, and thought I heard the DJ, or announcer, or someone loud announce that they'd be doing some sort of piss contest. As the night wore on, and the beers continued to fill my belly, he would pop back on the microphone, soliciting volunteers, but to no avail. Waiting in line for one of the two solo bathrooms, i was really in the mood to let it go, but somehow, alone, just didn't feel right. I looked around the room, saw several men who's faces I'd like to get to know, who, in fact, looked pissworthy. Yeah, that would be fun, I'd think, looking at bearded man with hairy chest peering out of his shirt - hoseyoudown, hosemedown. Look at goateed man over there, another pissyworty gentleman, those tight levis would look better wet. Sigh, into the bathroom by myself, realizing no one was looking back and thinking similar thoughts in my direction. I pulled it out and aimed downward. Playful mood was changing to something else, but as i caught myself in the mirror, I decided to change direction. Aiming up, hitting the reflection, my sourface changed briefly to a smirk. One of you out there could be in here, you could be having some serious fun with a decent man, but no, I'm in here alone; the sink, mirror, floor got flooded, bladder empty for now, buttonfly rebuttoned, door opens as I take one more look around and head out into the cold....

porno is hard

Last week, just coincidentally the day I was preparing the Boys of Venice movie trailer, I get an email saying "Do you have any info on Butch McAlister aka Rick Masters?" I was about to shoot off a quick answer, pointing the gentleman to the last time I discussed this hot porno star, then realized I had incomplete info there - he's been in 4 films, not just three! Now this morning, I realize the count might be FIVE, and I need to do some more research before I get it right. So I figured the pick above, (with Clay Russell) from a magazine called Marine Set Up (which, as far as I know, was just a photo spread, not a film) might hold y'all over til I have more time to do more research. I can tell you he seemed to have nearly as many aliases as films - Butch Barnes, Butch McAllister, Rick Masters, and maybe even John Towers.

re post from Jan 2006

Sailor In The Wild

Director: William Higgins (1983)

Starring: Bill Henson, Brian Thompson, Leo Ford, Buster, Rick "HUMONGOUS" Donovan,Cory Adams, Aaron Gage, Will, Matt, Dave Sommers

Rick Donovan in his porno debut as a pool boy. Sound ho-hum?? Well, with Leo Ford as his cocksucker and bottom boy, not on your life! (Actually, if you've seen the film, you know the best moment is when Leo first goes down on Rick, as Rick is still limp, and Leo's hair is all messy and tussled from the swim they both had; then it cuts away to Rick's face, enjoying the blowjob, camera pans down to Rick's hard dick going in and out of Leo's face, and Leo's hair is suddenly combed and slicked back!) Anyhoo, here's a trailer from the film.

garsh, just listening to the voiceover for this trailer puts me back into the Bijou Theater 25-30 years ago! Just the way he says: That HOT, Texan filmmaker - with the disturbingly wrong emphasis/pause...

yeah, someone still reads it!

How cool to wake up with this hangover after drinking too much beer, foolishly thinking if i just waited til all the lights went on at 4:15 at that gash darn bar, someone would follow me into my cab going home... anyway, where was I? apparently the beer is still in me (where were all the recycling bears, anyway?) - what? where was i.... cool to wake up with hangover? where's my editor? ....just trailing off rambling..... oh yeah, email request for old posted clips to get re-posted, but you figured that out already from the reassuring picture above of Bruno enjoying Mr Mitchell.

Director: Lou Thomas (aka: Jon Target), formerly of COLT STUDIOS (1978?) - Starring: Bruno & Rod Mitchell - original post back here

Butt Hole Road

OK, surely I am the last person on the planet to see this, but its so rare that reading the New York Times has me falling on the floor laughing - check this out - No Snickering: That Road Sign Means Something Else. I think my fave is North Piddle.

this n that

never offer jocksniffing services publicly like in yer blog, as you'll likely be disappointed at the lack of takers - so NO! NO! NO! - i don't care how many of you try to shove yer jocks in my face at the Pinups 8 After party 10:00pm at Nowhere Bar tonight, aint gonna happen - I will not inhale!

In other news, a few weeks back I'm poking around my supergreatfantastic webhosting service - DREAMHOST, and clicked on, or signed up for, some sorta beta-something, and now I have UNLIMITED GOSHDARN BANDWIDTH! What does that mean to me? you inquire - it means you can surf through my archives and email me with a Hey Dude, can you put up that old clip of so-and-so doing such-n-such? and if you say it nice, perhaps with sexy inducements (or beer), I might just do it.

Rangers Lament

update on Al Parker's film Rangers. A reader wrote in that he remembers seeing the missing "bear" scene in "A Night Alone with Al Parker" - and while the usual online resources gave little details about the content of that compilation video Al put out in 1988, I was able to figure out who the bear is. Remember my computer crash a few weeks ago?? I thank the gods I recovered it, as I still have the html file from selling a copy of "A Night Alone with Al Parker" back in 2001. Here's my eBay acceptable brief description - Al in the woods with Daniel Holt and bearded Zeke James (bootlaces, big rubberband) - probably from "Rangers" - now I need to look thru my old tapes and see if I am correct (even the chopped up VHS version should have the full credits intact) that the scene was in fact in Rangers - or, perhaps was filmed at the same time, but not released until Night Alone. Of course, now I am sorry I didn't keep Night Alone!

i got nothin'

you'd think i'd have more than a porno cartoon, but i don't
