Mid-Century Dreamboats

001jon_whitcomb0116

I grew up looking at mom's Ladies' Home Journal, McCall's, and Redbook. I learned every romantic illusion from the illustrations and fiction. Exquisitely handsome men, often distracted or overly animated, with women looking at the men as if they were gods or silly boys. But here's the deal: The guys all looked a little gay to me, even when I was a kid. Art by Jon Whitcomb
