Bob Mizer's mother Delia measures Bud Counts for a fitting.
For the newly initiated, Delia often made posing pouches for Bob's models to wear in his photographs. Other measurements were often used in Bob's brochures when he gave the model's stats.
Mama Mizer, just imagine she got to measure Bob's physique models for their posing pouches. She indulged her son's hobby and livelihood. Bud Counts was encouraged to pose for physique photogs by his mother. Mama Mizer and Mama Counts were great broads....:)
Delia Mizer cosi paziente con Bob. Immagina che la tua casa vanga invasa da uomini muscolosi che posano nudi nel tuo salone ! Solo l'amore di una madre lo tollererebbe. Dio benedica Mamma Mizer.
Thanks for sharing this - I've never seen a photo of Delia. She had a rough life - losing her husband, sisters, and one son at a very early age. Clearly Bob, Joe, and Maude (her daughter) were very important to her, and thankfully Bob was determined to support them with is work - and we are all better for it. He doesn't get the credit that he deserves as a true pioneer of gay rights! That's gotta change.
