The more I look at this magazine, “Hustler” (the male version, no relation), the more subtleties I see. This is in some ways the most stylish gay porn magazine I’ve ever seen! I’ve already blogged extensively about the wallpaper, the bedsheets, and the page layout. This time I was going to write about just the clothes, but there is sooo much more to drool about. Read on.
But what about the clothes? In a word, delicious. Look at that lamb’s wool vest. Sonny Bono made those vests famous along with the matching fur boots. But don’t stare at it for too long cause in 30 years you might wrap yourself around a tree while skiing just like poor old Sonny did. (BTW, was Sonny Bono sacrificed for bad fashion or for being a Republican? Hmm.)
Beyond the vest we see both budding porn stars wearing the same style collarless shirt with zipper and a big round pull tab. I had one of those shirts, too. In brown. And don’t forget the jeans with bleach spots! I remember having to put bleach spots on my own jeans because you couldn’t buy them in stores that way until sometime in the 1980’s.
But let’s look closely at the rest of this 1970’s fashionable gay porn tableau. Besides the fashion disasters, there is also the velvet couch, a look that never really goes out of style, I guess. But prior to the 1970’s you’d only see velvet couches in whore houses. The carpet is not shag, but it’s green sculptured carpet that was almost de rigueur in the day. (My sister chose the same color and pattern in three different residences during that period.)
Moving on, posters pinned to the wall were never allowed prior to the hippie days of the 70’s either. The chain lamp is a nice touch. (I have one just like it in the basement.) But the one iconic item that I almost missed is the velvet painting on the wall! Score! I think we have a winner here!
If you enjoy my enthusiasm for questionable style from the 70’s AND you like to see naked men fucking, it is your duty to become a VIP Member of Vintage Bareback.
