Give me some beautiful hair!

What ever happened to hair?

There was a time when smooth chests and hairless bottoms were a rarity. Guys were proud of their fur. Porn stars were covered in it. And then the world changed. Now hairy men have been relegated to a small niche within the porn world (read: bears), while men in the industry wax, pluck and zap the hair from their bodies.

"The fashion dictate of our slick high gloss culture in the last two decades looked down upon male body hair ... [but] today we say YES to natural growth of hair," says company Bruno Gmunder. It has gathered together 260 pages for 'Hair,' an anthology dedicated to the man that mother nature once created so brilliantly: masculine and sexy, muscular and hairy!

From the illustrations of Tom of Finland to the photographs of Joe Oppedisano and Dylan Rosser, 'Hair' is an anthology "for everyone who just shrugs their shoulders when the epilated Adonis appears in the aftershave commercial."

"Hair" is available at Amazon.com.
