Disco Fever (PNSFW)

Cher in 1973
(not touching the debate on Cher's "self-identified Cherokee" ancestry)

In the seventies, it was cool to be an "Indian", unless, of course, you happened to be an Indian.

I happen to know some Apaches.  I can say with some certainty, there's nothing Apache here!  Check out the shiny, blue fringe on Mr. "Butter Popcorn".

No Apaches here, either!
Did you catch the play tent?

This could be the Hipster Pretendian Theme-song:

Perhaps Ke$ha will cover it next!
Don't you just  love the Album art? Thankfully, we're spared the video with this one. 

Of course, that is a re-make of this song:

I know it's from 1968 and not disco, but it's just too awful not to include.

What's a disco post without The Village People?

Felipe Rose honors his heritage by dancing in a loincloth, again.

Oh, but we've come so far since the Seventies, right?

This is a Norwegian band called Wig Wam. I'm just as confused as you are. 
Look them up on You tube if you're bored or really hate yourself.
(btw- that guy's shirt says "I Chief; You Nothing!" or something to that effect, I found it odd.)

Awful goes amatuer Mappelthorpe (NSFW)

Oh yes, there are more winkte inspiration photos by Dan Nelson.
So when does the male nude cross over from fine art to porn?  When a fluffer is required.  None of Dan's photos have crossed into that territory, yet. (Yes, I checked all the knobs...didn't enjoy a second of it...thank you very much)
In some ways this is worse than the velvet-worthy painting.
Why?
He posed for this.  Obviously, this model thought this was an okay thing to do.  Alright, he isn't naked like many of the other Dan Nelson photos, but he's still wearing feathers. Reminds me of another cheesy  romance novel cover.
Should this image bother us?
