Christopher atkins

Im pretty sure he was aware who his biggest fanbase was. Even pre internet, it wasnt hard to figure out.
Yes he’s very aware NOW. He has said multiples times that gay men make up 90% of his fan base.

But he had far more young female fans back when these photos were taken… he and his handlers may have been under some small delusion that photo shoots like this appealed to girls and women. But like almost everything about his career, it was the MALE fans that were snatching them up. Just like his Playgirl.

I mean it was supposed to be a riff on the famous Nastassja Kinski Richard Avedon poster. Which were supposed to be sexy because of the whole Eve legend. So already he was kinda feminized. Snakes of course are notorious phallic symbols.
So he was basically draping himself in a giant cock! How gay is that lol?!
 
Apparently yes. He used to sign his nude photos.

Thanks for posting this. I love this photo and I hadn’t seen it for awhile. More proof from back in the day of his ease with his gay fans and the fact that we have always likely masturbated to his images :)

I was at the Baby Jane signing event in West Hollywood ages ago. So, long ago that it pre-dated social media and Internet ads. I just happened to see about it in the local gay press. Baby Jane's was a gay gift shop/memorabilia shop in Weho that hosted signings for the likes of Mr. Atkins. By the time I arrived, he was wearing just a vest and happily signing naked pics of himself. Acting is an odd profession. (I searched for a pic of the event and it is just as I recalled).
