This one looks a bit of a stalemate!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Royale Studio and it's later incarnation, Hussar Studio, had a brief existence from 1957-63 but reputedly bore the brunt of the arbitrary actions by the British authorities to suppress any form of homosexual expression. They were not the only studio to produce images like this and never featured explicit frontal shots but, uniquely amongst British Studios of the time, they produced photo sets showing men dressed or partly dressed in British military uniforms (tailored to fit tightly) and often involving in corporal punishment scenarios. This seems to have attracted special attention from the Police who confiscated offending material at whim.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This image is taken from the new <a href="https://royale-hussar-studio-by-mitchmen.blogspot.com/">Royale Studio Open Archive</a> which is attempting to assemble as complete a collection as possible of the Studio's images. </div><div style="text-align: center;">This particular set is <a href="https://royale-hussar-studio-by-mitchmen.blogspot.com/p/37-wrestling-urgay-v-lamprill-tibl.html">No 37, Urgay v Lamprill</a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>Modelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08812836550986543153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090200593219844.post-10225638122297921722023-07-01T12:46:00.001-07:002023-07-01T12:46:00.136-07:00Boxing Green<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggZ71KeX27rEkGUhvHo3AXKFuGQfygJT3VG_BhDF320tXv3U4vRaFlOXzzM354wXpe5fcVYn_0XMu5ceAOsXaPWPd3pSOsPlIOMNTVUe7ONLjbU5qhe3_H0qqS7RqO8SlPq9JyUq5dwFjmTJUSszOzZIbNbnYWarQChCYVRSLV6pFN26eNKVsEwYIm/s659/Drawpr0n%20-%20boxer%20little%20mac%20boxer%20-%20Copy.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="659" data-original-width="500" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggZ71KeX27rEkGUhvHo3AXKFuGQfygJT3VG_BhDF320tXv3U4vRaFlOXzzM354wXpe5fcVYn_0XMu5ceAOsXaPWPd3pSOsPlIOMNTVUe7ONLjbU5qhe3_H0qqS7RqO8SlPq9JyUq5dwFjmTJUSszOzZIbNbnYWarQChCYVRSLV6pFN26eNKVsEwYIm/w486-h640/Drawpr0n%20-%20boxer%20little%20mac%20boxer%20-%20Copy.jpeg" width="486" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><b>DrawprOn - Little Mac<br /></b></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> A saucy image of <a href="https://duckduckgo.com/?q=little+mac&t=newext&atb=v345-1&iax=images&ia=images">Little Mac</a> who is a cute character from combat games.<br />I'm not sure he ever went into a fight dressed like this <br />But in the gay imagination it's entirely appropriate, cute kit for a cutie.</div><div style="text-align: center;">For some reason I like the green outfit that's his trademark too.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Seconds Out!</div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">~ <br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">In this multi media age games characters are no more confined to computer games than superheroes are limited to comics.

Those images, largely published in black and white, were barely able to pick the surface. This splendid picture of a man caught in a rainstorm shows why. The wet fabric of his trousers clings to his thighs in the Royale manner, framing but not revealing sensitive, adjacent areas. His thinner shirt, however, becomes translucent in the wet, almost transparent and skin tones and other detail show through. </p><p style="text-align: center;">Breyette is an old hand at discreet portrayals of manly physiques but the stubbled face he has given this one is right up to the minute. Removing his jacket is an entirely rational response to the drenching he has received but combined with the wet effect it creates the titillating suggestion of a man stripping off in the street. <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">Visit <a href="https://www.breyette.com/">Michael Breyette Art</a><br /></p>Modelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08812836550986543153noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1109090200593219844.post-64443242395478887692023-02-01T00:40:00.051-08:002023-02-01T00:40:00.191-08:00Floral Trunks<div><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOrJblj2z5BouO4Dc3t6QE5fQnaI8VDoIs9pxyiZeRHcns6OoJPVLZBL3AiIi11_IuVuPdgJxue487RhCtg015wntYebNlPd8w9ElvTlTCMRUN4aXF_WRJJ0UnCI12dRx0sN3T-7sXf3VucJjyhNOEPfrIJDav24h_RO0Cy0U-vy2y5SZJErCacegU/s1349/Marcuse%20amour%20by%20David%20Castilla.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1349" data-original-width="1080" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOrJblj2z5BouO4Dc3t6QE5fQnaI8VDoIs9pxyiZeRHcns6OoJPVLZBL3AiIi11_IuVuPdgJxue487RhCtg015wntYebNlPd8w9ElvTlTCMRUN4aXF_WRJJ0UnCI12dRx0sN3T-7sXf3VucJjyhNOEPfrIJDav24h_RO0Cy0U-vy2y5SZJErCacegU/w512-h640/Marcuse%20amour%20by%20David%20Castilla.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"> It's summer time now, down under, a perfect excuse to indulge my little

Slominsky has found a gay, romantic angle on the boredom of quarantine isolation, showing a man being serenaded by his neighbour across the street. The singer shows his unrequited love by his song, no doubt, but the fact that he's wearing nothing more than his guitar says more.</p><p style="text-align: center;">The scanty dress of both men might also be attributable to the weather, because this is Catalonia in Spain. The flag draped over the adjacent balcony is the symbol of the independence movement there. Balconies are very significant in Spain, traditionally used to protest.
