Uncle Dirty

Mike Belleme's photo essay on his "Uncle Dirty" is a fascinating portrait of an old man that lives by his own rules and refuses to age. An ex-bodybuilder, Uncle Dirty is obsessed with pasting enormous cut-out penises on pictures of muscle men and wearing enormous stuffed thongs.

Damn, Uncle Dirty just rocks! Not everyone's cup of tea I'll imagine, but cool anyway. I have an uncle who got a penile implant in his early 80's. He told just about every woman at my mom's funeral about it, and got more brash as the afternoon went on. He went from descibing it medically to finally just saying "I have a new fake dick." When you're in that part of life, I guess you shouldn't care too much. I like Alga, too. Gorgeous photographs. Thanks for sharing.

Mahatma Gandhi gone horribly, horribly wrong...

I remember when the midtown branch of NYPL had open stacks, there was this guy who would sit in the middle of the room with all the muscle magazines. He would spend the day peering at them intently. His eyes were bad, so he used a big magnifying glass. Maybe this guys brother?
