Lorraine Burnett – All Made Up! (1958)

A very glamorous and made up Lorraine Burnett from Kamera No.21 (1959). Seen here posing nude and with heavy make-up and kneeling on a very familiar towel/rug that I’ve seen in other early Harrison Marks shots. He definitely re-used his props!

Beach Beauty Pamela Green (Coloured)

A stunning coloured version by Oldiznewagain of Pamela Green posing on racks down by the sea. I didn’t recognise it as one of my posts initially, until I realized it was posted back in January and a lot has happened since then! Love the ocean colour in this shot!

Beauty in Curves!


A classic early Harrison Marks silver gelatin photo of an unknown model (well, to me!) from the 1950s. I’ve seen some of her before, but this one is by far the better quality, and I just love the thickness and curves of her hips and figure.

Julie – Checking The Make-up! (Original)

Another original shot of Julie by Harrison Marks (From Kevin) giving us a great view of her as she looks at her reflection in the mirror. Interesting to see Nivea on the dressing table and if you look closely you get a glimpse of Julie’s lovely bush, cracking shot all round!

A Figure Hugging Pose! (1957)

From Kamera Special No.1 (1957) comes this figure hugging pose by an unknown model. Early in the publication timeline of Kamera, this shot is more in line with the early publications of Fiesta, where Harrison Marks used to publish models scantily clad in underwear rather than nude. There is something about this shot that appeals without having to show bare skin, be it the stockings, the figure hugging corset or maybe the panties with little bows on it! A classic shot!

Marie Deveraux – A Sandy Outlook (1958)


A very beachy view of Marie Deveraux from Kamera on Location (1958). Sitting topless in the sand dunes wearing a sarong, blond wig and scarf. The scarf was obviously an accessory for the shoot as they all wore them and I know they were popular back then, but why wear both the wig and scarf? Anyway, who cares about the scarf with that view. :)

Marilyn Monroe – Fiesta Magazine, July 1957

Not my normal post, but one I couldn’t resist! I’m a big Marilyn Monroe fan and I used to post images of her on an old blog, but there are so many images out there of her I got a little bored! I came across these shots and hadn’t seen them before and they were in an early Fiesta Magazine (July 1957), along with some other of my favourite models.  Anyway I loved the classic cover and her as the centrefold, so decided to post on here for a change :)

Enjoy!
