AMG Model Code Symbols?
David Anthony Wyatt
character analysis" code symbols on many of the photographs published
in the pages of "Physique Pictorial" in the 1950s-1970s?
The late photographer Bob Mizar encoded his impressions of the models
he photographed at his "Athletic Model Guild" into a series of
symbols. The corners of the pages of the magazine are strewn with arrows,
squiggly arrows, stars, squares, horizontal dollar signs, zig-zag lines,
and a host of other marks.
I'm just wondering if the key to the symbols has been published anywhere,
or has appeared on a web page.

I came across an abbreviated explanation of the code within the past
few months........duh, but I can't remember where. Which means it's
out there somewhere. Just keep looking, I guess.

To my knowledge the complete code has never been made public. Copies
of it do exist: I know of two copies in the hands of private
collectors who were AMG customers in the early 1960's (I have in fact
held one of these copies in my own fair hands), and the current owner
of AMG, to whom Mizer bequeathed his collections, intact, upon his
death in 1992 almost certainly has it as well. However, so long as
any of the models to whom Mizer applied the code in his brochures
still lives I cannot imagine that anyone will knowingly make the full
code public.

But beware - it's a pretty bad movie.

I took a fifteen year old gay boy to see the movie (at his request).
I really enjoyed watching his reactions.

Oh, wait - your taste in music sucks, too. So I guess I'm not offended,
after all.
