Body parts : a woman looks at men's

Description
-
A Defend Gay’s the Word briefing document about the seized titles lists a book called ‘Body Parts’. Its author and publisher are unclear. The book presented here is a candidate for the correct book, but we cannot be sure. Actress and photographer Christie Jenkins, who was initially inspired by the bodies of male ice-skaters (some of whom are spotlighted in the book) presents here a selection of black-and-white photographs of men. The photographic models are named, and feature in sections focussing on specific body parts, including the subtly described ‘Middle Part’. Some images are published with just a question mark, and readers are invited to guess who is featured. The cover model is Leland (Lee) Nicholl, Jenkins’s ideal of “the perfectly built male”.
