Searching for 1968 Physique Pioneer Mike O'Donnell

I was asked to check if anyone knows the name of this model, who did nude physique portraits in the 1960s.  He appears under the stage name Mike O'Donnell.

Most of the models from that era were amateurs, whatever trick the photographer happened to invite home last night, or saw on the street and asked "Do you want to make a few bucks?"  Their careers began and ended in anonymity.

But Mike O'Donnell seems to have appeared in several publications over a period of years: 

J. Brian Presents Rick's Tricks of 1968 (Rick Dion Studios)
Galerie Golden Spurs
Rick Dion's Ephemera
The Phallus
Tiger (aka Tiger Man)






The tattoo on his left forearm looks like a scale with three lines over it. Tattoos were rare in 1968, unless you were in the navy.

That uncut cock is rare for Americans of the Baby Boomer generation.

He's not very muscular.  That's a 30-pound dumbbell, and he needs two hands to lift it.

He was living in Portland in 1968.











He's reading a straight porn magazine, so he's straight, or at least that's the impression the photographer wants to give.













He looks a little younger in this black-and-white photo. Probably from 1966 or 1967.

They only had nude photos in physique magazines beginning around 1965, so this twink was an innovator.
















That's all I know, except that Rick Dion was publishing out of Portland, Oregon.  Box 73 at the One Institute Gay Archives contains some samples of his models: Rene, Race, Tuck, Scott, Pete, Gary, Rod, Kurt, Jack, Cy, Randy, Shannon, Mike, Lee, Pete Shea.

And Tiger Man was published in L.A.

And there's a buffed Bollywood actor named Tiger Schroff.




Dig the old-fashioned telephone.

There's a Michael O'Donnell at Rockefeller University, who got his B.S. in Biochemistry from the University of Portland in 1975.  Around the same time, and he has the same jaw.  Connection?

Probably not.  I imagine that this well-endowed young ex-sailor vanished into the youth counterculture without giving anyone his real name.

Anybody know who he is?

Nude Photos of Craig Sheffer, Maybe

57-year old Craig Sheffer is a dramatic actor most recently seen on The Mentalist, CSI, and Psych. But back in the early 1980s, he got his start in the soap One Life to Live, the Brat Packer movie That Was Then...This is Now, and Voyage of the Rock Aliens (1984), a weird Ziggy Stardust- Grease pastiche about rock-and-roll-playing aliens invading a high school.  He played some sort of David Bowie-John Travolta rock god with nice abs.











Around 1982, Craig was photographed by pop artist Andy Warhol, who of course liked photographing gay, bi, transgender, and gay-for-pay men.

He photographed Shaun Cassidy around the same time. 

Several photos of Craig have appeared, including some purported to be him nude and aroused.













I'm not sure. This guy is quite hairy, and Craig is smooth.



















And what 22-year old wears a cock ring?

















Oh, well, at least the cock is impressive.

Choose Any Two of these Eight Jocks

Ok, it's -25 outside, there's no mail service so my new Pogo Volume 4 won't arrive until tomorrow.  I'm in a bad mood because the chapter I rushed to complete on time is just sitting on my editor's desk, with not even a "thanks for all your work," and my sure-fire hit story about Prince Charles' hookup is getting only a tiny number of pageviews.

No one cares about Prince Charles being gay?

It's too cold to go to the gym, so let's play "Which Would You Choose?"  Here are eight men, all white, young, and smooth-chested, unfortunately -- I would certainly appreciate some variety.  Apparently members of a sports team, or pretending to be.  You get to have sex with two of them.  Any sex acts you want.  The only conditions are:

1. The two hookups can't be standing next to each other (they'll gossip, and get all jealous, etc.).
2. You can't go through all eight and then decide.

Ready?



#1:  Nice oval face, stupid hair, good chest and abs, but I don't like the looks of that cock -- too long and narrow, like a snake.  I'll go on.

#2: Nice cock, but ugly as sin.  Next!
















The guy sitting is not available, darn it!

#3.  Dumb hair, homely face with a faux-sultry expression, trying -- and failing -- to "make love to the camera."  Next!

#4:  I don't like the furrowed cartoon-villain brow, but the hair is nicely styled.  He's got an outtiebelly button, which I find attractive, and a cut cock.  I wonder how much of it is hidden behind his buddy's shoulder.

My first hookup will be #4.













#5.  That means I can't choose #5.  Pity - he's the hottest so far.  Beautiful face, nicely coiffed hair, perfect body (if you like them hairless), and a thick semi-cut cock.

#6. Cock is very long, but I can't see the rest of the body, so not enough information to decide on.  Next!



















#7: A face that could stop a clock, and his body is too long and lean for my tastes.  Looks like rather a small cock, too.

That means I have to go with #8.

#8:  Face looks a little too grade-school bully-like -- I expect him to be stealing my lunch money and shoving me into my locker.  Very nice pecs and a glory trail -- after all this Nair, seeing any hair anywhere is erotic. But I don't care much for that cock -- too small, and it's one of those where the foreskin never retracts.

Well, if I have to, I have to.  I'll just close my eyes and think of Brad Pitt.










The middle guy has the biggest cock of the group, but his physique leaves something to be desired.  If his availability ever changes, I'll be happy to make him hookup #3.















Here's what they all look like together.
