Dawn Grayson – Kitchen Capers!

Dawn Grayson nude in the kitchen and posing for Ed Alexander for his book of English Beauties (1964). As Ed himself says, when photographing the nude indoors, a change from plain studio backgrounds can sometimes be made by using the average home as a setting, as long as the setting doesn’t detract away from the model.  Trust me, my eyes are firmly focussed on the model here!

Eileen Sheridan – QT No.13

Eileen Sheridan from the inside back cover of QT No.13 (1959?). 

The interesting fact about Eileen is she was the first winner of the Miss United Kingdom title in 1958. So if the timelines are correct, she did this either just before or just after winning the title, I wonder if they knew! She also won the Miss Great Britain title in 1960 and was also known for her association with the London underworld ‘firm’ headed by the Kray twins. A very colourful early career indeed!

Sophia Dawn – It's All Glamour & Tin Foil!

A coloured shot of Sophia Dawn by Russell Gay, which in itself is a wonderful shot of Sophia in pink panties, but what’s with the background! It reminds me of ‘Blue Peter’ and ‘here’s one we made earlier’ with all that tin foil!  The tin foil covered base seems to pop up with regularity as well, especially on Russell Gay shots.

Pretty in Pink

Having a random kind of day, so not a normal post, but an unknown model to me.  No links to GHM or the others as far as I know, but I just liked the original image and restored it to the version above.

Sheila Osborne From Kamera No.47

Another cracking unknown model this time from page 4 of Kamera No.47 (1963). What a gorgeous figure and bum, but can anyone ID her as I’ve not come across many images of her before now?

Thanks to Portland for the ID of Sheila Osborne, who also appeared in QT No.58 (1962), another unknown model identified.

Pamela & The Pearl Choker

Another early Pamela Green nude by Harrison Marks from the 1950’s, this time posing nude wearing just a pearl choker around her neck. An elegant pose from a scan of an original silver gelatin photograph.
