60s hunks

with a helping hand...

Ralph Pfundstein

This handsome man with the 'funny' name transfixed me some years ago when I saw pictures of him, care of the old Champion studios.  He epitomised for me youthful carefree innocence in a time before AIDS.  If you go right to the beginning of my blog, back four years to the very first page, you can see some colour photos of him that were floating around on the net (and still do certainly, in varying degrees of size and graininess).

Call it a lust across the decades.  If he is still alive he would most likely be in his 70s now.  An odd thought, as his features are frozen for me in the early 60s like some high school crush.  His face, his smile and his furry body all drive me a bit batty.  Ralph, if you are out there, drop me a line.  You can be my Walt from For a Lost Soldier...

Bob Mizer was cute

Here he is, probably around the early 1940s.  With his photographic work he launched AMG after World War II - and re-invented the 'Blue Boy' magazine.
