> Also the famous photographer Robert Mapplethorpe did a great series with Lisa Lyon back in the day. He may've been a Schmoe too.
If you know anything about Mapplethorpe , his main sexual and "artistic" interest was in the male nude form - reflecting his personal lifestyle in the gay clubs at the time . He did however also take some striking pics of women.
There was a biopic about him a few years back. I watched mainly due to thinking a story set in that 70s Warhol NY scene would be interesting and I knew Lisa Lyon had been a muse of his. I can't remember much other than it was all a bit grubby, seedy and grim. I vaguely recall a fleeting bit of Lyon-based FBB content but it was very much a tiny side-piece to the narrative. Do not watch this film if you're just after some FBB titillation, you'll be left deflated!
Not in the way you think. The reason that Michangelo's women are often so muscular is that he based his figures on male models and reused his existing drawings from life as that was part of a lifelong expression of aesthetic beauty and some art historical references suggest he was possibly gay. He became infatuated with a man who was half his age, though there is no evidence he had any sexual relations with anyone as he was mostly a loner and quite an unpleasant character in many ways.
The breasts are somewhat grafted on to male bodies, both in his painting and his sculptures.
The (female) Sybils are a clear example of the use of male "body doubles":
Thought the reason this was bumped would have been for the Kyler Murray/Valentina Shevchenko tweet. https://x.com/k1/status/1779375378848711156
Feel like they’re not actually dating, but who knows
