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!

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!

June in June! (1957)

June Simpson featuring on the cover and inside pages of Fiesta Magazine (June 1957), including the double page centrefold. These shots have June with short cropped blonde hair, rather than the more familiar long blonde curls when she posed for Harrison Marks.

Lorraine Burnett by Eva Grant (1957)

Lorraine Burnett posing in a red and white polka dot bikini from Fiesta Magazine (June 1957). This was from a feature of articles by Eva Grant called ‘changecoat’ showing how the appearance of a model can be complete changed by clothes, hairstyles. lighting etc. This was changecoat No.6 featuring different images on Lorraine Burnett.

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!

Lydia Barton (1957)

Lydia Barton from the pages of Kamera Special No.1 (1957). Another stunning beauty that posed for Harrison Marks in the late 1950’s appearing in this magazine and also the first edition of Femme. I think I’ve seen her in early editions of the pocket editions of Carnival, but unknown as to where else she went on to appear.
