June Palmer on Everyones Favourite Sheepskin Rug (Original)

I was looking for some inspiration for a colour image when the following image popped up from John W to save the day!  


The amount of brilliant June content that John provides, I sometimes have to control myself not to publish it all in one go! Fortunately when I saw this one I just had to edit and publish it there and then!  Not only do we see a gorgeous June in all her glory (including some bush!), but the infamous sheepskin rug makes a re-appearance. 

These photo’s of an older June continue to amaze me and although they show more of June than ever, it amazes me how she cleverly poses herself so that she never reveals too much!  None of those legs wide open shots showing everything from our June, that became so popular with everyone else in the 1970’s.  Not that you would expect it from June either.

Enjoy!

June in the Office (Originals)

Two images from two different photo sets, with different underwear but the same office set, but both originals! The second shot in the tan stockings comes from a set of 6 photo’s from John, who has also dated the set. As he said in his own words ‘The calendar doesn’t give the year, but it does say 1st November and that was a Monday. That happened in 1965 and 1971, so I suspect the latter, as there seems to be an early electronic calculator by the telephone’.  Well spotted and worked out John!

To add to that evidence, June has long hair similar to those shot in this set. I love the office backdrop in these shot’s, but I can’t get the the image of the boss sat at his desk and asking ‘Miss Palmer could you take something down for me please?’ and she certainly does take things down later in the shoot!

June Palmer – Wet & Blue! (Original)

June Palmer with long hair posing in a wet blue dress!  Taken in the 1970’s at ScottLee Studio’s and other shots of June with the same styled long hair would put this shot at 1971.  This comes from a set of six images and love the gold background in the shot.

Angela Duncan – Mayfair Magazine

Following in the footsteps of Margaret Nolan, June Palmer and Ann Walker, an appearance in Mayfair Magazine for Angela Duncan.  She appeared on the cover of Mayfair Vol.5 No.10 (October 1970) and as Mayfair’s Girl of the Month as above.  Sorry, don’t have a very good copy of the cover, but love the shots in white stockings and panties!

Terry Graham as Fay Richmond

Three stunning pages of Terry Graham as Fay Richmond from Girl Illustrated, Souvenir Edition No.2 (March 1970).  She has also appeared in other magazines as Laela Simons, but GI seems to be the only magazine where she appears on various occasions as Fay.  I must admit the above colour shot in just tight rubber boots is one of my favourites, even with the editing out of the pubic hair!

June, The Short Leather Dress & The Manacles! (Originals)

Another start to the week and another JP original from John, but this time a set of four images as I’m feeling generous and productive this morning!  This set shows June in a short leather type dress and stockings slowly stripping to reveal more, including a white underwear set!  These are the only four provided by John, but my imagination and me are hoping there are more to this set, especially going beyond the final shot here, as that’s just a damn tease!





The shots provided were in sepia, so again all I’ve done is restore and remove blemishes.  These were probably taken in the 1970’s and possibly at Strobe, but not confirmed.  As John points out the set seems to be a bathroom set with the tiles, but then there are the manacles attached to the wall, so not your average bathroom, well not in my household anyway! 

Enjoy a wonderful set!

Monique – A Walk on the Wild Side!

If you read this blog more than once you will know as well as publishing images of my favourite models from the 1950’s and 60’s by GHM and other photographers, I’m also interested on what happened to them beyond. Did the models carry on, did they retire or did they take up a totally unrelated career, are just some of the things that interest me.  Some are easy and already well documented such as Margaret Nolan, Pamela Green and June Palmer, but for others it is less well known what happened to them.

Well thanks to a great article by Gavcrimson on his blog a little more light has now been shed on Monique Devereux (Monique Leitzau).
A Monique Devereux (Original) Posing for GHM with a Studio Background.

Gav’s article aptly called ‘All the boys love Monique Deveraux‘ goes into detail about the less glamorous side of modelling and amateur photography through the eyes one of such amateur photographer named Dave.  I won’t go through the details as you can read Gav’s article from the link above, but what it does do is give us a small insight (via Dave’s own page) about Monique.

Dave’s own page about Monique (Here) throws up some interesting things about Monique post her GHM days, such as …
  • She lived and worked around the Tipton/Dudley area.
  • She worked as an assistant in a photo shop in Walsall and modelled for a photo studio attached to the shop.
  • She allowed a more ‘hands on’ type of photo session for some amateurs.
  • Her boobs were FALSE! She had silicone implants, this I did not know, but I suppose the hands on approach confirmed this!
  • She continued to live and work in a bar in the Wolverhampton area.
Dave also comments that he also photographed Paula Page and that she was fairly short and this made her boobs looked disproportionately large. He also enjoyed the softness of her boobs before she stopped modelling, which indicates another more hands on approach.

So for all the glamour we see in the publications of GHM, there was also a more down to earth side to the models, where they continued to model and earn a living through the avenues of amateur photography. Much to the pleasure of those such as Dave that had the opportunity to photograph these models and then share the outputs with us.

 Thanks go to Gav for a heads up on his article and ultimately Dave for sharing his insight into Monique!

June Palmer Coloured From Girl Illustrated

It feels like a bit of a June Palmer day, not that there is anything wrong with that!  Another coloured version of June Palmer from my friend Oldiznewagain over on Tumblr and it always amazes me how good he gets the skin tones on these!

The original comes from Girl Illustrated magazine published in 1970 and is part of a set of 4 images and I’ll be publishing the full set of images later.

The Look! – A June Palmer Original

This wasn’t going to be my intended post of an original June Palmer shot this week, but when I saw the above shot from John W last night I just had to share!

June sure could work the camera as everything about this shot just oozes sensuality! The look in her eyes (which are green!),  the chin resting slightly on  the pushed up cleavage, or the tongue brushing across her teeth!

Absolutely stunning!

The image comes from a 35mm slide scan and is pretty much untouched, other than the odd speck of dirt removed and every detail can be seen in such an intimate and close-up shot.  It’s part of a set of 8 photo’s that John got from Teri Martine herself, but it’s unknown who took the shots.  The Sheepskin rug makes another appearance and a chaise lounge in other shots, so it’s an educated guess that these were probably taken at Strobe Studio’s and by Arthur Howell.

It goes without saying that the JP images John provides are blowing me away, so I know I say it, but thanks must go to John for sharing his collection with me and then you.
