Vintage Vic

In 1954, these photographs were shot of Vic Seipke, then one of the top competitive bodybuilders and physique models. He was in his early 20s at the time, weighing in at about 200 pounds and measuring 5'9". I found a news article about Seipke from a few years ago. He's now in his 70s and looks fantastic for a bloke his age.

When these images were made, male nudity was quite rare, hence his little modesty covering, although Seipke did a few tasteful, artistic nudes during his modeling years. He's straight and married, and you have to wonder if he knew that collectors of his images were a little "different." Nonetheless, he apparently wasn't homophobic. I love straight heartbreakers who aren't homophobic.
