Top Billing-ton

Just a quick update to post some new pics of perennial favorite Michael Billington, buff, hairy chested Brit star of UFO. You have to be a real stud to get away with the short-short cutoff look, and I think Billington pulls it off. He gives a certain dignity to the the Village People-on-the-Thames look. I'm not sure about the shiny gold collared blouse, medallion, and purple pants, however. I'm not sure anyone could pull that outfit off.

That Fuller Feeling

The all-time most popular post on this blog has been "Lonesome Cowboys", about Laramie co-stars Robert Fuller and John Smith, and some of the most popular search terms are "Robert Fuller" and "Robert Fuller shirtless". Fuller was one of the most handsome men in a period in TV history that specialized in handsome men, he had a nice, muscular body, and his bulge... well, fuller is a good word for how he packed a pair of jeans. And fortunately, for whatever reason, the conventions of the time called for the hero to be frequently stripped to the waist, tied up, or both.
