He may be only 22, but Hungarian BB Istvan Nemeth is already showing a nice flair for bad taste, and, in the second pic, a nice flair in general:

This will be a one-off, unless others have examples of BB kitsch they'd like to share or a strong desire for me to hunt down some more.

Deet,
Don't have the link, but Mike Mentzer, of sainted memory, posed for some SERIOUSLY kitschy shots with his then-girl friend, Cathy Gelfo, in an issue of M&F, titled, "The Perfection of Man". He looked great in his sabertooth loincloth, though!

Always happy to join you down muscle memory lane, Mdlftr, but IMHO, these are almost tasteful. (Perhaps nostalgia has coated them with a veneer of gold-plated kitsch.) The text on the other hand...

At first glance in mentz 2 at the upper row of pics, it looks like his cock is wrapped up and laying across his leg.

I almost got happy for a sec.

Go ahead and get happy, for more than a sec if you want. Isn't artistic interpretation up to the viewer?

I remember this layout VERY clearly. Like 1981/82? I had a manila folder of clippings I kept as "favorites" (obviously, a pre-cursor to keeping them in electronic form two decades later), and these got pulled out often. :-)

Maybe it's because I saw them at a young, impressionable age, but Mentzer's lines to me are way sexier and more attractive than some of the blocky types winning contests these days.

ALL these photos are obviuosly painstaking re-creations constructed by an international team of reknowned authorities on the Romagyptossyiriababylocromagnon period!(my favorite!)100% authentic.Sort of.

Of course! If you just start with the assumption that Mentzer embodies male perfection, [He DID win the 1978 Universe with a perfect score. He was the first. Lee Labrada did it next.] it's totally understandable!!

I also have the (in)famous(?) poster, circa 1979, of Mentzer standing relaxed, one hand on a hip, the other huge gun just hanging there! MAJOR inspiration for workouts! Esp. chest and tris!

Thanks for the Pix, Deet! May your photo backlog increase!

It appears right before the "Conan" period, and shortly before
"Red Sonja" era! Truly a s-pec-tacular tri...er.."Time" in art history!
