[HT/New York Post]WHERE have your clothes gone, Joe DiMaggio? A full-frontal nude photograph of Joltin' Joe is hanging in a San Francisco art gallery, part of an exhibition, "Hunted and Gathered," of photos from the collection of museum curator Robert Flynn Johnson. The image shows DiMaggio, circa 1940, before he became intensely private, in a postgame shower, wearing a goofy grin. Asked how he obtained the photo, Johnson joked to the San Francisco Chronicle, "I have friends in low places." The nude Joe is not for sale. "It's too interesting a photo," Johnson says.
Makes sense that a dude named "Johnson" is the curator of the museum. It's actually being displayed at the Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco.
Those of us at the OSG HQ are really creeped out about this. It's one cultural experience we think we will pass on.
