Teh Vintage Gay
My off-lj friend Holly sent me this link to the most fabulously homoerotic WWII era towel ads.

Buff bronzed soldiers frolicking naked under the palm trees together.

No. Really.

I've uploaded the highest-resolution versions to my photobucket and they're behind the cut.

I'm fond of the natives in the background, giving the traditional "WTF White People?" stare.

I knew I couldn't be the only one thinking that.

Also, I didn't know they could show ass cracks in ads in the 1940s.

That is gay like the gayest damn gay thing I have ever seen. Gay. I love it.

It's too bad the pictures are too busy to reduce to 100x100, cause such GREAT images.

OTOH, they'd make awesome friends only banners.

The slogan "How to make your towel last longer and stay 'durable for the duration'" has me snickering.

Is that Corporal Klinger there in the first one with the palm leaf? And the guy next to him seems to have sustained some kind of horrific injury to his ribcage.

I guess even SCREAMING GAYNESS can't hold back the tragedy of war.

That just proves there were gays in 1940, they were all just working in the advertising industry. Sneaky little buggers.

I love the fact that the first one is titled "True Towel Tales ... as told to us by A Soldier". It's kinda got that Penthouse Forum feel, y'know?

I would maybe be able to see this as a product of the times, and not just totally fricken GAY, if not for that dude with the palm leaf, I mean WTF!?

So very, very gay.

My, the blond gentleman in the canoe appears to be having a very... intense moment, doesn't he?

(Also, boys, the natives didn't think you were wacky for bathing in a canoe, so much as for the public orgy naked frolicking. I'm guessing.)
