Pamela Green in Colour (Coloured)

Another cheating post with two more images coloured by Oldiznewagain, this time Pamela Green with both images from the late 1950’s. One has her with dark hair and the other with long blonde hair, but a wig and not the blonde hair we are so familiar seeing her with in the 1960’s. Coloured version followed by the original :)

Lorraine Burnett in Colour (Coloured)

I can’t keep up with the quantity and quality of the coloured images at which Oldiznewagain is churning them out, so cheating and taking the easy option and adding a few in one post to try and catch up!

Two shots of Lorraine Burnett coloured from two of my original posts, with the original after each coloured version.


Kamera Special No.1 (1957)


Kamera on Location (1958)

Both very good coloured versions of the originals, but my favourite is the top one as the colours look more realistic. It’s probably easier to colour a person and the skin tones than an outdoor location, as the sand, rocks and grass in the second look slightly unnatural. I also note that by colouring the images Oldiznewagain loses some of the grain and texture from the original black and white versions, giving the coloured versions a smoother feel. Again, not a criticism, rather an observation, as I know I couldn’t do anywhere as near a good a job as these and leave that to Old!  Restore yes I can do that, colour not on your life!

Yana by Harrison Marks

The model only known as Yana taken by Harrison Marks and published in Foto No.9 in the late 1950’s. A classic beauty and such a wonderful look, simply stunning :)

Lydia Barton & The Leopard Skin Nipple Pasties!

You learn something new every day, who knew these small round caps covering the nipple and areola were called nipple pasties! Here is Lydia Burton wearing a set of pasties and matching choker and leopard skin panties from Kamera Special No.1 (1957) by Harrison Marks.

Pasties emerged in burlesque and striptease from the 1920s as a way to avoid breaking the law by performing topless or nude and came to be regarded by some as more aesthetic and erotic than showing the actual nipples. Me I prefer to see a nice pair of nipples, but add some tassels and I can see the appeal!

Julie The Mimic! (1957)

The ever beautiful Julie posing for Harrison Marks from Kamera special No.1 (1957). Taken in his Gerard Street flat and notice that Julies pose mimics that of the small statue in the background? Some nice big earrings again, this time moons!
