Gay Bdsm

The other art in the scrapbook are from a very poor quality I decided however to add them anyway. These came from the collection from Charles “Chuck” Renslow (1929-2017), co-owner of Chicago’s Gold Coast bar; publisher of the magazines Triumph, Rawhide, and Mars; and founder of the long-running International Mr. Leather contest and the Leather Archives and Museum.
