404. The old trunk in the attic - Anti-freeze Loveless style

The old trunk in the attic over at the Bunkhouse at Loveless Motel never disappoints.  This must have been a favorite of Loveless Lodge founders and owners Edgar Loveless and Sinjin Birdwhistle.  Anti-freeze must have meant something entirely different in the 1920s. "It's going to be a cold cold winter, but I'll never freeze when you're around"

214. Second Date

 These two fellows  met 2 nights ago at the Bunkhouse, and are now inseparable.  They're getting a room at Loveless Motel, enjoying even more services such as fresh designer linens, daily newspaper and evening turndown service.  And as soon as we catch the guy who's stealing the towels, newspaper and chocolates, he's headed straight for the Hoosegow!

193. The well-clothed man, and the nearly naked man

Our activities coordinator Jack Leyendecker has recently returned from a scouting trip and has hired a helper for the summer season here at Loveless Motel.  Business meets casual. Jack gets all his outfits directly from Mssrs. Swallows and Dewitt at Suit Up, located off the lobby.

150. Old reels - Edgar Loveless and Sinjin Birdwhistle

These old reels were found in the trunk in the attic at Loveless Motel, and must have belonged to Edgar Loveless and Sinjin Birdwhistle, the cousins who built the original Loveless Lodge. This is private stuff, and must have been from their New York City days. Seems like role play isn't such a new thing. They must have been good pals with the cameraman.

149. Ten Cents a Dance

The old picture box up in the attic is a testament - Loveless Motel hosted great parties then, just as it does now - these lads kick up their heels to the strains of an unknown orchestra. Those picture boxes up there are a bottomless source of wonder - even an old celluloid reel occasionally pops up. 

148. Yesteryear's Queers' Word of the Day #15- Lavender Cowboy

Lavender Cowboy

An effeminate gay man

-1920s-

"Vernon Dalhart in the late 20's sold over a million with his classic "The Prisoner's Song," but it was one of his very last recordings, in 1939, that got my attention. He was not the first to record "Lavender Cowboy," but his was the recording that was declared a "blue record" by the radio industry, therefore banning it. And, we know that the Vernon Dalhart version of the song was banned by radio"

The Lavender Cowboy by Harold Hersey from "Night" 1923 He was only a lavender cowboy, The hairs on his chest were two, But he wished to follow the heroes And fight like the he-men do. But he was inwardly troubled By a dream that gave him no rest, That he'd go with his heroes in action With only two hairs on his chest.

First he tried many a hair tonic. 'Twas rubbed in on him each night. But still when he looked in the mirror Those two hairs were ever in sight. But with a spirit undaunted He wandered out to fight, Just like an old-time knight errant To win combat for the right. He battled for Red Nellie's honor And cleaned out a holdup's nest He died with his six guns a-smoking With only two hairs on his chest.

86. Loveless Venue - Toys for Boys

 In these uncertain times, $3.00 can seem like a small fortune.  But considering what you get for that money, how can you not get at the breach of a Big Dick at Loveless Motel.  Toys for Boys, located off the lobby.

83. Yesteryear's Queers' Word of the Day - #6 Playing Checkers

Playing Checkers

Moving from seat to seat

in a darkened movie theater

in search of interested sex partners

1920s

"I went to see Ben-Hur at the Rialto Tuesday, and during the Roman warship rowing scene, I got up and went to the back row and played a game of checkers with a few of the other lads who were there"

 

65. Yesteryear's Queers' Word of the Day #3 - Jocker

Jocker

Strictly a top man!

He only tops because he thinks that doing anything else 

would mean he's queer, and of course, he's not.

-1920s-

"That Jackie - he's only a jocker because he's never been fucked by a real man - but he sure likes getting fingered!"

63. Bunkhouse Overflow

 The Bunkhouse at Loveless Motel can get pretty busy.  But don't worry - the Mat Room in the gym can handle overflow until a bed becomes available, as long as no one tells the fire department.
