I’ve noticed that a number of the blokes who appear in Phoebe Fay’s regular ‘Beefcake Friday’ offerings have the air of, shall we say, ‘confirmed bachelors’.
To this end I present the above chap in his sartorial splendour for a special Aussie ‘Lamington Friday’ Tribute.
Down, Phoebe, down!

It’s the natty scarf that makes the ensemble.
oooh he’s a darling
Wow . . . I’m speechless
You ain’t foolin’ anyone.
Ahhh, yes. The first few years of the ’70s were pretty confusing.
Cissy Strutt: … and the casually-hooked thumb-in-belt. Few people have ever perfected that.
nursemyra: Yes that’s what his bachelor chums think too.
Malach: Sorry – I should have asked permission before revealing your early modelling career to everyone.
jmf: I’m speechless.
Colonel: I don’t think the chap in the photo is confused at all. Well, perhaps about his fashion sense…
Almost Medal Worthy, I think. You could’ve been a sweater model, but noooooooooooooo. You had to go and make airport music. Pffff….
Hey – you’ve already got a medal for making me laugh. They’re like Scout badges – you’ll have to impress me in some other way if you want another one.
Hasn’t anyone noticed the helmet head!? This one looks like the outside of the helmet instead of the inside. I would call him a knob-head but that would be rude…
The scarf, the belt…on the out side! Stunning stuff.
Violet Towne: There’s enough hairspray in that ‘do to fend off the strongest sword blow.
Meggie: I dread to think where he’s wearing his underpants.
You think a guy like that wears underpants? And if so, boxers or briefs?
He’s a ‘briefs-on-the-outside’ guy if you ask me. At least in aspiration.
