Léonardis était un «boy-toy» préféré de la jet-set de la Côte d'Azur. Barrington à découvert Léonardis à l'Eden Plage à Cannes. Léonardis a été posé à l'extérieur sur un plage isolée à proximité et à l'intérieur d'un hôtel-pension. -Beau Mec
Mizer was said to have gone to France in 1962 and met Barrington in Cannes. Barrington introduced Mizer to some of his models and the gay nightlife of Cannes. Barrington said the models were surprised that Mizer insisted they wear posing straps for his photoshoots, as Mizer was afraid he would get in trouble with photos of full nude men while going through customs ! As Barrington said of Mizer, leave it to an American to get wild and cruise hustlers in Cannes, and then be afraid of taking some photos of male models full nude. -Rj
I’d say Barrington and Mizer both had issues stemming from being in the gay avant garde professionally while living in a time when, personally, they had to play straight. Mizer had already gone to prison, which explains his caution, but then Barrington would go home to London to wife and boyfriend, so, pot, kettle?
