Two shots of a young Tina Madison wearing nothing but a pair of dairy earrings whilst posing in different studio settings.
June on Glass, Box 1 Plate No.7 – Seated View (Original)
The 7th glass photographic plate of June taken by Leslie Bainbridge in the studio (12th August, 1960). This shot has June sat with her legs out to one side as she plays with her necklace, unfortunately there is a shadow on the right hand side and I’m not sure if that was in the studio at the time or on the glass plate itself. Still a worthy shot of June :)

June Palmer – A Quick Drinks Break! (Original)
We’ve had cigarette’s, now for booze and fast cars! A brilliant shot of June posing for a publicity shot or advert I assume, sat on the back of a vintage car with a glass of wine in hand.
The Grasshopper Inn, which is prominent in the shot still exists today and can be found in Westerham, Kent and is advertised as a privately owned, recently restored, beautiful Tudor building set in the idyllic Kent countryside. There are many images of the Inn online, but I couldn’t find this particular view, but I’m sure it has changed considerably since then! It is also close to Oxted and I have other shots of June from this same shoot with her sat on the bonnet and roof of the darker vintage car at a crossroads with Oxted on a sign.
The darker car is possibly a Jaguar, as may the white one be, but not 100% sure? A great piece of June Memorabilia that is different from the normal glamour related stuff and a snapshot of things back then.
Update: Thanks to MadMax who sent this message to me – ‘The cars are both Elva Couriers and this looks very like a publicity photoshoot for advertising or brochures. Elva were based in Bexhill, then Hastings so this part of Kent would have been almost on their doorstep.’. Madmax is spot on because if you go to the Elva website there are two colour photo’s taken outside the Grasshopper at the same time as the one above, one even has June in it with the title “Arrive in style and enjoy a glass of ‘warm’ beer and a Babycham for your lady.” – Fantastic and thanks to MadMax.
On further searching I’ve found another shot of June posing in a bikini in a white Elva here, that identifies the car as a 1961 Trojan-built MkIII Elva Courier. I also found ‘Fast Elva Ladies’ Page featuring June in two shots as well here. Which then also led me to this image of June I’d already posted in the now identified car :)
I love stumbling across things like this and all from one image :) More images of June and the Elva to come …

Lorraine & Jackie – An Oiled Pair!
I seen several shots frm this set of Lorraine Burnett and Jackie Parker posing oiled up and nude on what looks like plastic sheeting, but this one I particularly like. I think it’s again all to do with the lighting and use of shadows and the reflection of the light off the oiled boobs of them both.
I also don’t think the shot would have worked as well if Lorraine hadn’t been blonde, as the contrast between her blonde hair and shadows also works. You can’t see much of Jackie, but what you can see is good enough :)
Valerie Jones & Her Glass Cutters!
Another of the less published models of Harrison Marks on this site is Valerie Jones, and the only other shot I’ve published of her is this one. One thing obvious in both shots is Valerie’s ‘Glass Cutter’ Nipples, as in both shots and a few others I have they seem to be very pointed and prominent. One assumes it was the natural state of them, more than anything else. :)
Paula Page – Just My Cup of Tea! (Original)
I haven’t posted a Paula image for a while, so thought I’d dig out one from the collection. This is a cracker, not only because of the fabulous view of Paula and her beautiful behemoths, but also I love the intricate headboard to the bed and matching cover. It also looks like she had a cuppa on the go, which leads to thoughts of titles like ‘Coffee, Tea of Me!’ and I know what I’d chose every time. You can’t beat a decent cup of tea whatever the circumstances, but on this occasion it may have gone cold!
Connie’s Seaside Splash!
Connie Fielding, dipping her toes in the sea wearing a stunning bikini that’s coming off at the shoulders! It’s actually Eve Eden or Rosa Domaille, but she went under the name Connie Fielding during this period of her career, when most of the shots of her were taken by Ed Alexander. No rude Rosa in these shots’ as they are actually quite tame compared to the many other shots we’ve seen of her under her various names!
Rita Landre – Luring You In! (1960)
I love this set of Rita Landre (Pam Green) on the Alley Set, which appear in Kamera No.23 (1960) and I particularly like the top shot! Wearing just her fur shawl and stockings stood against the Parisian posters, she looks like a very high class lady of the night, waiting for her next gentleman visitor. You can see all of the shots from this set I have so far, including a stunning colour shot here.
