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
I more refined and tame shot of Clyda Rosen than we normally saw. Looking stylish in her shorter swept hair, we get a topless view of her posing outside against an old wooden barn door. A beautiful shot of Clyda and her magnificent pair!
I’ve managed to get a full set of 36 images of the ‘Oh Nurse!’ set, featuring Angela in the countryside dressed and stripping out of a nurse’s uniform. I’d published those I’d previously found, but I’ll get the rest edited and published when I can. This one is an early shot in the set as it has Angela still clothed, if only just, but bursting out from her tight-fitting bra!
I’ve also had it recently confirmed that her real name was Trudy Eyre by Terry Sparks, or that was the name her wrote on the cheques when he paid her for modelling sessions with him. I didn’t know Terry had even photographed Angela/Trudy, but he’s sent me through a selection of his shots of her and some look very familiar indeed and ended up in some popular men’s publications back in the late 1960s. But those shots are for another day and another post. :)
I’ve published the dark haired beauty in this shot before and have several other shots of her, but I first came across her in this shot posing with Jean Rogers. Jean is another late 1950s model that caught my eye, or at least her big tits did! She appears in many late 1950s prints, both alone and with other models and seems to enjoy changing her hairstyle frequently, mostly with wigs, as I’ve seen her with short blonde hair and darker variations.
The other thing I like about Jean is her figure, as it’s truly a natural curvy figure with a bit of a tummy on her, which isn’t a bad thing as it just makes her look even better. A great contrast in this shot between the models, a sort of thick and thin combination to enjoy!
A top-heavy shot of Harrison Marks model Erica, restored from a scan of a print sent over by John from Oxxbridge Galleries. A simple but effective shot showing her greatest assets!
And the final letter for the 2015 Christmas Calendar goes to Sissi Mississippi and an original shot from one of my own negatives. Sissi looks stunning in this pose, especially her hair and dark eyeliner around her eyes, and that’s even before we look at her body! Although the shadow from her thumb does make the shape of her pubic hair look rather odd!
Well that’s it for this year’s Christmas calendar and I hope it’s kept you entertained on the run up to the festivities? All that’s left is to again wish everyone a Merry Christmas and that things will slow down after today as I take a break and enjoy the holidays myself. There may be some more posts, but not as regularly as normal. Normal service will resume in the New Year.
Another appearance on this blog for Mary Millington, although unlike some of my other favourite models she can legitimately be here! Mary’s career is well known and documented, including one of her most famous and successful films ‘Come Play with Me’, filmed by non other than Harrison Marks. There are other links to Mary and GHM over her career, so I thought I’d share an image of her here, not the normal stuff rather a tasteful semi dressed shot, as the other stuff can come later.
Another titbit I’ve just found out whilst looking on the Mary Millington website. The fictitious ‘Bovington Manor’ in Come Play with Me was used by Harrison Marks to shoot scenes for his film, The Nine Ages of Nakedness in 1968 and eight years later to film Come Play with Me and it’s literally two miles down the road from where I live! Now a manor hotel it’s still open for business and a little piece of GHM history I didn’t realize was on my own doorstep!
A smoking hot shot of a very sophisticated, but nude Sylvana Manto (Madelaine Bannister) posing in long black gloves from the late 1950s.
A very sexy, sophisticated look with those long black gloves, earrings, and the cigarette holder. Although, the cigarette would be frowned upon today. Still, it’s a fabulous shot of Sylvana and her curves. :)
A stunning view of Susie Shaw taken by Harrison Marks laying on a carpet in his flat and published in Kamera No.48 P33 (1962). There are five shots of Susie in this edition, either on the carpet such as this one, or posing in the kitchen. I even have one of the original negatives from this set, which I will post at a later date. Susie is a new GHM model to me, but she sure had a fine figure and bosom on her!
Paula Page on the loft set from Kamera Special No.4 P53 (1964) and looking at this shot it seems to comes from the same set of images that also appear in Kamera No.30, where Paula also appears on the cover.
A cheeky little shot of Dawn Grayson posing in a very short sheer pink négligée that leaves little to the imagination! Taken outdoors at the same location as this original shot of Dawn and Gloria Lomax. It comes from a scan of an original 35 mm Kodak slide from my own Dawn collection and is only one of two shots I have from this set.
