Dedicated to the published work of Harrison Marks & other prominent photographers of the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. Along with popular glamour models such as June Palmer, Pamela Green, Dawn Grayson and others
A shot from 1968 by Serge Jacques of one of his French models that appeared in the Cover Girl magazines.
A different view in that unlike most models of the time, she has a half-and-half view rather than fully natural or fully shaved. A style that seems to be more in keeping with women of today, tidy on top, smooth below. More open than UK views, potentially done so that viewers could see the details of the lips and still have a natural feel, maybe?
Overall, a fabulous shot of an attractive model in stockings and heels with her legs open :)
Continuing from my collection of Cover Girl. The front and rear cover of Cover Girl No.24 from 1968. I love the concept of a front view on the main cover and a rearview on the back. I think I prefer the rearview of this edition, as you get a great view of the model’s great arse as she leans over a very retro style chair.
A nice uncensored view on the front cover to that no doubt caught the eye of potential European buyers.
Some will say that this type of magazine and post isn’t for them, which I totally get. For me, it’s about capturing and revisiting a magazine that’s disappearing fast in today’s world. These magazines are over 50 years old now, and printed versions are becoming rare. Take into account that these type of magazines are also disappearing because they are seen as not acceptable by certain groups in society today. It makes it even more important to capture and celebrate these magazines, the models in all their fabulous glory and the photographers that pushed the boundaries back in the 1960s. Sometimes it just seems like we are going backwards in our views and everything needs to be censored in case it offends one group or another!
I say just enjoy it for what it is in your mind and if not just move along :)
Another shot of Sylvia McFarland stripped off and ready to do a spot of mirror cleaning! With the reflection, we get a double helping of Sylvia’s massive tits and full, thick pussy from as many angles as possible.
A random rearview of an unknown model from a 35 mm colour slide in my collection from the 1980s! One of many random slides I’ve acquired over the years for no particular reason other than the image appealed to me for some reason at the time. With this one, I think it was the position of the pose and her eyes. ;)
The stunning curves of Julie Collins and another from the portfolio of Terry Sparks. Standing on the bed nude Julies figure in this shot looks perfect and her tits look rather big! A delicious pair one might say :)
Julie is a favourite of mine and first caught my attention when she appeared in the later editions of Kamera by Harrison Marks. Since then I’ve managed to collect several original negatives of her by GHM and several contact sheets including this shot from Terry.
Alicen Warden (Robin) posing on a Cornish cliff top overlooking Bedruthen beach. Taken by Harrison Marks as part of his 1966 trip to Cornwall, a great shot of Alicen and her figure. A perfect cliff top view, and although I was recently in Cornwall the views were good but not like this. :)
A fabulous double page spread (literally!) from the 1967 publication, Exciting No.15. These double pagers tended to be on the rear of the main centre spread of the magazine, which was a triple page spread! The double page shot also tended to be bi-colour, similar to this.
I love this shot of this model in those long black boots, jumper pulled up to flash her tits and legs apart showing all. She kind of reminds me of the UK model Jenny Lane, but slightly more attractive. :)
Another of Elaine Collins, just because I saw it and liked it. Yes, it’s on the explicit side and not to everyone’s taste as she spreads her legs and pussy, but at least some thought went into the shot. Rather than getting Elaine to just look and spread, the photographer has actually thought about the shot and used the light and shadows.
I love the way the shadows fall across her tits, partially covering them and her face. Her hands are spreading her pussy, but again they are used like a type of frame to highlight what lies between. Overall it has a certain quality to it making it more erotic than explicit? It’s certainly different from the usual smile and spread shots of the 1970s, I think?
Another gorgeous shot of Elaine Collins (Georgia Jackson) by Howard Roark from the 1970s. This shot of Elaine was from a set of 120 images from several original Howard Roark contact sheets. A more open shot from Elaine this time, legs spread, showing that dark thick pussy highlighted by a chain belt and fishnet stockings.
Love the way she’s also pushing those big tits up to show them off, not that they need highlighting further :)
Another shot of one of those rare ebony beauties from Terry Sparks in the form of Yvonne Perrin. Photographed in 1974 it’s a more revealing shot as she pulls her panties to one side to show off her dark bush below.
She’s also wearing the large bead necklace worn by several others of Terry’s models here.
