This ad featuring a quite healthy Patrick Swayze—cut straight out of a 1974 issue of After Dark, which succeeded Ballroom Dance Magazine as the world's preeminent entertainment magazine—is, as this listing points out, “perfect for framing.”In addition to “gay interest” stars like Dolly Parton, Peter Berlin, Barbara Streisand, and Marlon Brando, After Dark featured very gay ads, including those for porn studios and for important books like footballer David Kopay’s account of his gaiety, Paul Monette’s Gold Diggers ("Glittering, Glamorous, Gay"), and Michael Denneny’s Lovers: The Story of Two Men: "A poignantly true love story, with photographs!"
After the jump, an NSFW shot (maybe by Mapplethorpe?) of Arnold Schwarzenegger from After Dark.
