The cover of the book simply titled ‘Vera’ (1962) by Harrison Marks featuring the model and actress Vera Day. A simple but stunning close-up of Vera for the cover.
Jackie Parker – Kamera No.40
I’ve been staring at this images for weeks (apart from the obvious reasons to stare!) as the model looked so familiar, but I couldn’t put a name to the face and figure! Then yesterday whilst editing the Lorraine Burnett and JP set it came to me … It’s Jackie Parker!
Now I’ve seen several sets where she has posed with Lorraine Burnett, but I didn’t know until now that she had actually posed for GHM and appeared in Kamera? This is one of two shots of her that appear in Kamera No.40 (1962), but did she appear in any others? I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that she posed for GHM, as the models of that time seemed to have done the rounds with all the popular photographers. What does surprise me is that there is no reference to her as modelling for GHM, but if these are the only two images he published then like me she may have been missed!
Sophia Dawn – A Designing Young Lady!
Some more tri-colour goodness from the pages of Parade! This time it’s the alluring Sophia Dawn in various stages of undress without actually getting undressed. This double paged spread was from Parade No.1201 (15th December, 1962) and my favourite shot must be the one directly above, where she nearly got all her kit off!
There was something about the sheer elegance of Sophia Dawn that just does it for me. The lips, eyes and the beauty spot and that’s before getting any further than her face!
Another original scan of mine!

Vera Day Nude
Two shots of Vera Day from the hardback book ‘Vera’ by Harrison Marks showing off a nude Vera in the top shot, with obvious re-touching and a shot in the familiar mirrored bath. Several models including Pamela Green and Tina Graham have posed in that bath before and one assumes this may be in GHM’s flat?
Ann Austin – The Right Treatment
Ann Austin just about covering her big boobs from the centrefold pages of Parade No.1198 (24th November, 1962) I would guess that it was used from the same set used in Hi-Life Magazine in 1964. One of my original scans of the magazine itself :)
