A Bit of Ball Play with Gina Martin!

A whole new box of Terry Sparks and Howard Roark images arrived just before my holiday, so I’m slowly working through it to see what delights are contained within. One such delight is a set of images from Howard Roark of 1970s US model Gina Martin, including this set of her posing on and around a pool table. A very distracting view if you’re trying to play, but she could play with my balls any day! Sorry, too good an opportunity not to use that pun!

Another model with a stunning curvy figure typical of HR in the 1970s ;)

A Sandy Day!

Venetia Day covered in sand as she poses naked on a beach in Rhodes for Terry Sparks in 1971. A great shot of Venetia with her arms flung back and wearing that large bead necklace that Terry preferred and as worn by Vicki Pascale and others that posed for him. Another sunny shot, and I’d have offered to rub that sand off her if needed. :)

Yvonne By Terry Sparks


Another of those rare ebony beauties from the Terry Sparks archive in the form of Yvonne Perrin. Terry photographed a few, but the most famous from this site point of view will have been Sylvia Bayo (Lucienne Camille). Saying that, Yvonne has a great figure with a hint of full on bush in view and wearing a familiar necklace again!

Cherry Orchard – No Hiding Place For Modesty! (1972)


Over the past years I’ve been busy scanning and editing my growing collection of new models taken by Terry Sparks and Cherry is one of those models! When I say new, I mean new to me, not new work! Scanned from a set of 10 contact sheets with 120 different images, I love this shot of Cherry trying to cover her modesty and failing as she poses in front of a mirror. A stunning model that looks familiar to me for some reason, but a fabulous slender figure on show and as with most glamour models from the early 70s onwards showing off a very full thick bush indeed!

Terry certainly had an eye for capturing his models in the best light, but I’m not so sure about the names he gave them sometimes, as I’m assuming Cherry Orchard wasn’t her real name? Saying that, Cherry Orchard has a certain ring to it and probably works well for this model.

Again, these are a different era and type of image to the early Harrison Marks and Russell Gay images you would normally find here, but a bit of diversity never hurts. Especially as most of the stuff I’m posting now is original never seen before stuff that I’ve come across on my travels and worth sharing. As always, a big thank you to Terry for the dates and names of the new models. :)

Franni Leigh – Skirt No.25 Cover

 

Fanni Leigh (Polly Eltes) on the cover of Skirt No.25 with the photo taken by Terry Sparks. I always like it when I come across a published image either on the cover or within the pages of a vintage magazine that I also have in my original collection and this falls into that category. I recently published a similar black and white version of Franni by Terry here, then what do I find on my travels but a magazine cover featuring one of the shots, but in colour. Unfortunately I don’t have any colour shots from this set of Franni, but at least I now know the colour of her top!
It’s always quite satisfying when you see a shot like above and can identify the model, photographer and date it was taken. The original shots were taken in August of 1972, so one assumes this was published later 72 or 73? Unfortunately I only found the cover, so no idea if Franni went on to reveal more on the inside pages!

The Fabulous Franni Leigh! (Original)

 

Another shot by Terry Sparks from my collection of his contact sheets and this time featuring Franni Leigh, who has already appeared on this site several times before here. This comes from a set of photos taken by Terry in August 1972 and the two previous colour shots on the bed are from this same set. Compared to my other posts and other shots I have seen this is very tame, but at the same time a very good shot of her, with you being able to see her small pert tits through that tight top.
As already explained Franni wasn’t her real name and beneath that wig she was actually fashion model Polly Eltes, who worked for the likes of David Bailey and others, with this being one of her few full nude modelling assignments. She also had brief careers as a British actress and singer, but today she has come full circle and has become a successful photographer behind the camera working for interiors and lifestyle magazines. Thanks as always to Terry for the fabulous insights into his time behind the camera with these models.

The Magnificent Three!

I’ve posted several individual shots of the three models Marianne Morris, Venetia Day and Dinah Challen by Terry Sparks on Rhodes, but very few of them all together. So, it’s very nice to find this article in Girl Illustrated Vol.5 No.1 (1971) with them all. They have Marianne down as Viki Pascal, which I knew she modelled as, but Dinah as Linda Rome is a new name to me.

Sylvia Bayo: White on Black

A beautiful shot of Sylvia Bayo posing in the bedroom in white panties from an original copy of a 10 by 8 print I own. I’m always looking out for new stuff of Sylvia, so snapped this up when I saw it, as not a shot I’ve seen published anywhere before. No identifying marks on the back of the print other than it has a stamp for Galaxy publications. Although I believe the photo was actually taken by Terry Sparks for Russell Gay.

Magnificent Monika! (1970’s)


Hidden beneath the curly blonde wig is the 1970’s UK model Monika Ringwald, but that is about all she is hiding! Taken from a set of Monika posing in long negligee and blonde wig it shows her in all her tanned glory, with those tan lines helping to highlight her natural pussy.

Monika also posed for Terry Sparks during her career, and shots taken by him can be seen here. The first shot has a portrait of Monika in the background without the wig, so I wonder if this was shot at her home?

Monika Ringwald – Longshore Drift! (Original)

Monika Ringwald by Terry Sparks, propping up the sea defences down in Bournemouth in 1971. Looking like that I know she’d stop me in my tracks, but I’m not so sure about the tide! But who cares as I could look at those small white perky tits for ages :)
