Face It, Tiger… You Just Hit The Jackpot!! (1958)


An appropriate title to this image of an unknown model photographed by Harrison Marks for Kamera No.7 (1958). The tiger skin rug seems to be a prominent feature throughout this early edition of Kamera, not that it really distracts from the key focus on the image. For those geeks amongst us, the title is a reference back to The Amazing Spider-Man No.42 (November 1966) and the introduction of Mary Jane Watson (MJ). Who makes her first appearance in this comic and utters these words to Peter Parker/Spider-man when they first meet. It has become something of a catchphrase for the character.

Another small piece of trivia about me, is that I also used to collect comic books from the early 1960s onwards, including Spider-man. My collection exceeds over 6000 different comics and titles and if sold could buy the wife a new kitchen, but don’t tell her that!

Pretty in Pink Corset!


What’s not to like about this late 1950s colour glamour slide? Such a classical pose in fishnet stockings, pink corset and of course heels and a hat! The latest fashion and what every respectable woman needs to wear for her husband in the bedroom. :)

Looking Up at Thelma (1958)


A topless view of Thelma from Kamera No.11 P19 (1958). Taken in what appears to be in the living room of GHM’s flat, as we can see that familiar diamond wallpaper and horse picture in the background.

The Prominent Figure of Yvonne Vella


Another shot of the Latin looking Yvonne Vella from a restored 1950s silver gelatin photo, showing off the perfect lines of her figure. A superb view of her figure as she kneels, pushing her tits out between her squeezed together arms!

Backstage in Black (1959)


The unforgettable Madeleine Mado (Maria Hale), Mary Deighan and Pamela Green posing in the dressing room from a 35 mm Pamar colour slide sent over by Kevin. Although this image of the three girls was taken at the same time as the other images that appeared in Kamera backstage, this specific shot doesn’t actually appear in the publication, so maybe only ended up as a slide?

I love the fact it looks like just a snapshot of them all as they undress, but I’m sure it was posed, which shows how natural all three were at posing. Pam looks great stepping out of that petticoat, revealing her black underwear. :)

A Hairy Outlook From the 1950s!

A different shot of an unknown model from an original silver gelatin print from the 1950s. Different in the fact that the model is natural in all areas with hairy armpits and pussy, although her lips are still very visible below. A great figure as well, so worth sharing! :)

Thelma by Doug Burn


An original scan of a medium format negative of Thelma by Doug Burn from the 1950s.  Thelma was another lesser known Harrison Marks model that appeared for him in Kamera No.4, 5, 9 and No.11 (Cover) in 1957/58, then seems to have disappeared? It now looks like she did some other modelling in the 50s for other photographers as well.

This was sent over by Tim, a contact who has a collection of 1950s negatives by Doug Burn including Thelma, Lorraine Burnett, June Russell and other models and actresses from that period. Interestingly, the index card for Thelma also has the name Bahia Ali, so another different name. Tim is also selling his negatives over on eBay, so go take a look here. :)
