beardsBeards: An unshaved history:

Kevin Clarke

The Gay View on Men’s Beards

In his new book, Kevin Clarke, bestselling author of Porn – from Andy Warhol to X-Tube, shows us beards from the gay perspective. In addition to his view on the clones of the 1970s and their recent return, there are interviews and facts about beards as well as photographs showing how erotic a man’s beard can be. Clarke takes us on a sexy photo tour of his view on history of the beard trend, The beard as an expression of the modern man and the tribes he aspires to be apart of.

The essays examine facial hair from a queer perspective and the 256 pages of photos range from great historical ones, hot men kissing to a solo happy ending with a man snatch.  History fans will enjoy seeing the beards of Jesus, Henry the 8th, Abraham Lincoln, Vincent van Gogh and Walt Whitman, while pop culture aficionados will appreciate the inclusion of modern bearded celebrities such as George Michael, Hugh Jackman, Tom Selleck and the Village People.
