What better place than my blog, for sharing interesting pictures? And what better picture to share with you this week, than this one? I don't know what newspaper it came from, but it's obviously from a few decades ago, when people were much more conservative. That's why it's so amazing that this picture was even published at all! The caption below the picture reads, "Cheering Manager Bucky Harris in the clubhouse."
I did a reverse image search. Turns out it's an old NY Times photo that has been photoshopped by an artist called William Thomas.

Evidently the picture is copyrighted, so I'll take the picture off and replace it with the link. Thanks for letting me know!
Deletethe beauty of photoshop, a flick through the other images made me think, I had a lover years ago that was in the NYMBC, he had Christmas cards from Tom of Finland and a beautiful studio photo of himself taken shirtless with a leather biker jacket slung over his shoulder revealing his tattoos and pierced nipples. I would love to have had those off him, but we drifted apart and I heard he died several years ago aged 89. I do however have a John Craxton pen and ink portrait of another lover which I hold very dear.
