Disco Coolness

A brief perusal of the internet of Boney M videos and images will lead you to the conclusion that there’s a pretty strong case they may be the coolest band that ever was.

Singer and insanely cool dancer (just look here) Bobby Farrell is a weirdly handsome front man and the ladies dress like goddess/disco/alien butterflies most of the time.

I would have loved to have been a member. The only surprise is that they weren’t more popular outside Germany (where they were created).

Hunks »Ronn Moss

Ridge Forrester, Rowdy Abilene, Player

Jim has been using the imperfect but pretty awesome program called Tune Up to match our sprawling music library with titles and cover art.

Because of this, when the AM Gold classic, Baby Come Back came on, I beheld one of the most brazenly extreme 1970’s displays of questionable men’s taste. Tinted glasses, deep V necks, silver belts, indescribable coifs, handle bar mustaches and their name is PLAYER!.. Of course, I was instantly in love.

But, wait just a second… That guy in the blazer and silk scarf(!) doesn’t he look familiar?

Could it? It couldn’t. But maybe it could be… Is that the hunk from one of the best films ever made – Hard Ticket to Hawaii??

Oh my goodness, friends. I found out that indeed, it is the same man.

Rowdy Abilene from Hard Ticket sang Baby Come Back.

I’ll just let that sink in.

His real name is Ronn Moss and apparently everything he touches is pure gold. Which means I should probably have been watching The Bold in the Beautiful where he played a fashion magnate named Ridge Forrester!!!

Hunks »Fridtjof Nansen

Pioneer of Polar Exploration

Fridtjof Nansen of incredible (non ironic) mustache, soul piercing eyes and handsome face traversed land and sea to attempt to reach the North Pole.

While his expedition failed, his survival techniques were used by all subsequent pole expeditions.

Not satisfied to sit back after his exploring success, Nansen later became a humanitarian.

He won the Noble Peace Prize for his work with the League of Nations on behalf of war refugees.

His Oslo home, Polhogda, now a research center looks pretty amazing.

So on top of being a manly explorer, a total babe, and a good human being, the man also had good taste.

Hunks,Style Icons: Male »Little Richard

The King and Queen of Rock and Roll

Sure, now Little Richard is a goofball in commercials but, think on it, back when he exploded on the scene he was down right, out if sight, daring!

He was funny, omnisexual, and untamed. He let loose with unsuppressed screams and his hair! Oh my, his hair! Coiffed doesn’t even begin.

His influence is huge, most famous musicians name him as their gateway to rock and roll (Prince, Michael Jackson, James Brown etc).

Plus, (surprise, surprise) what a total babe he used to be. Right?

Hunks »Robert Cornelius

Hot Innovator

What a lovely coincidence that one of the worlds first photograph self portraits was of such a handsome man.

Smart too, Robert Cornelius, a chemist, perfected the daguerreotype and ran Americas first photography studios.

Hunks »Michael Monroe

Original Hair Band Boy

Hanoi Rocks’ Michael Monroe was such a beauty queen! My goodness.

He and his band are credited with creating the Los Angeles hair band “look”, at least that’s what I found on wikipedia when I woke up wondering who the first hair band was. (Don’t you wake up with similar queries?)

I have to say, and no disrespect to Mr. Monroe, but like most, maybe even all hair bands, I am far more interested in the style than the music. It’s always surprisingly lite and wussy.

Hunks »Helmut Berger

Austrian Actor

Well, hello Helmut Berger!

While several of his films have been on my radar of movies I should probably see one day (The Damned, The Garden of the Fitzi Continis) I have to admit I’ve never seen those devilish Giallo worthy eyes and devastating cheek bones in action.

(And unfortunately the one film of his in Netflix instant Beast with a Gun seems largely unwatchable.)

Still, he is undeniably, irrefutably a very very handsome man who would have been a perfect Jaime from Game of Thrones in his day.

Thanks to one of my favorite sites, Chained and Perfumed for introducing me.

Hunks »Colin Clive

It’s Alive!

Universal Films classic Frankenstein is still the ultimate adaptation despite many lesser ones throughout the years.

Of course Boris Karloff’s monster is most famous (thanks in part to make up genius Jack Pierce) but let’s not forget Dr. Frankenstein himself!

Colin Clive with his classic, yet severe Hollywood era good looks- strong chin, deep eyes – delivers an imitable performance of madness and obsession.

He dies tragically young of tuberculosis.

Hunks »Gregory Peck

Atticus Finch

Dignity. It is the word that comes to mind when you think of Gregory Peck both with his personal convictions and his iconic role as the justice seeking, perfect father figure Atticus Finch.

Handsome would be the other word that comes to mind.

Check him out in hipster beard mode below, growl!
