Connoisseurs Choice Vol.4 No.1 Cover Featuring June Palmer


A small 14 by 21 cm (5½ by 8¼ inches) magazine consisting of 24 pages of mostly full page photo’s of models nude, topless and in various types of lingerie.   Undated but probably late 1950s, and this copy contains 4 full page shots of June Palmer that I’ve not seen before (I’ll scan & publish them soon!)

There are also some great adverts for photo sets and models for hire with some well known faces, such as Lorraine Burnett and Virginia Green to name two!

Album Modelstudier Covers

Another different foreign magazine called Album Modelstudier, which was a digest size magazine (6.7 x 9.6 inch) published in Denmark by Forlaget Studia Publications in the late 1950’s and 60’s.

The magazine consisted of 24 pages including covers, with a colour cover and black & white photographs of models in various poses in natural environment. 
Again the early issues have models on the covers I don’t recognise, but by issue No.30 onwards they start to get very familiar again :)

Bettie Page Leopard Shoot

In 1954, during her annual vacation to Miami, Florida, Bettie Page met photographer Bunny Yeager.  At that time, Page was the top pin-up model in New York. Yeager, a former model herself and aspiring photographer, signed Page for a photo session at the wildlife park ‘Africa USA’ in Boca Raton, Florida. The Jungle Bettie photographs from this shoot are among her most celebrated and include nude shots with a pair of cheetahs named Mojah and Mbili. The leopard skin patterned Jungle Girl outfit she wore was made, along with much of her lingerie, by Bettie Page herself.
