alright, gumshoes. i’ve got a favor to ask.

i’ve been developing a nonfiction book for a few months now on former colt models. i would like to go beyond the hypothetical and actually talk to as many of these men as i can find. 

i said the last time i posted this that i was going for the big names (ie. jake tanner, tony ganz, buck hayes, kyle jessup, etc.) which would be great, yes, bring it. but in truth i am looking for ANYONE who modeled for colt or knows someone who did. particularly ‘70s/‘80s-era, before the company changed hands from jim french and colt men started looking like everyone else.

i have tracked down about a dozen of these men so far, but finding them is no simple task. many of them are long dead. many of them are rumored dead. many of them have simply left their alter egos behind them; started new lives with new wives and real names.

a lot of these men have no interest in talking. i can guarantee complete anonymity, if necessary. my intention is not to compromise what is at stake for these guys now. i’d really just love to hear their story. 

take ‘em or leave ‘em: these men and their stories are important parts of gay culture.

some of you may know these men personally. you may have seen them in a bar or the grocery store. any tips you can provide on whether these guys are even still alive would be INCREDIBLY helpful to me. 

REBLOG THIS. you can message me on tumblr, or email me at dionnewarlock@yahoo.com

thanks boys,
