Tom Douglas

The last two photos in this post were recently added to this blog.  In the top photo we learn a little about Tom Douglas, a 21 year Texas native who stood 5ft 11in tall and weighed 145 pounds. 

The photo is from Physique Pictorial Vol 16 published in 1968.  Mizer informed us Tom had some stomach ulcer issues and he needed surgery but he did not like the idea of anyone cutting him open and (to Mizer's knowledge) he never followed the doctor's recommendations.  

Mizer also told us Tom was a "natural model".  That means he had photos available of Tom in the nude.  The year was 1968 and obscenity laws were relaxed to allow that type of photo in the US Mail.  This made Tom one of the first AMG models to go "all natural". 

I'm not sure where this photo is from but I'm going to guess it's also an AMG product.  Here was Mizer using the see-through pouch to test the boundaries of what he could publish. 

And finally, here's Tom in all his glory.  I'm pretty sure this was published in a later issue of PP magazine.  He was a handsome guy and I would bet Mizer got a considerable amount of fan mail on him.  Let's hope Tom eventually had his health issues attended to.
