Cherry Gilham Revealed


I’ve posted shots of Cherry Gilham before, who Terry Sparks discovered in 1971, but this is the full re-edited set. This was the first nude set she ever posed for in March 1972. They all show her posing amongst the cushions in a chain bikini bottom, and we get to see her beautiful smile and even more! One can only admire the magnificence of that lush thick pussy she tries to hide, but then shows off.

Cherry also appeared numerous times on the Sun’s Page 3, several film parts and wrote a regular column in the Daily Mail newspaper.  There is plenty out there about Cherry if you Google her name, but I, for one, love this shot from Terry and the others that I’ll sort out soon.

Three Fanni’s!


Three different colour shots of Fanni Leigh (Polly Eltes)by Terry Sparks, two in a house location, the other in the sea at Pegwell bay. I’ve posted these individually several years ago, but these are bigger, and better edited.

These appeared in the pages of the 4th edition of Club International in April 1972, including a double page spread (boom boom!) with Fanni as centrefold of the month.

Franni Leigh: Skirt No.25 Cover


Fanni Leigh (Polly Eltes) on the cover of Skirt No.25 with the photo taken by Terry Sparks. I always like it when I come across a published image either on the cover or within the pages of a vintage magazine that I also have in my original collection and this falls into that category. I recently published a similar black and white version of Franni by Terry here, then what do I find on my travels but a magazine cover featuring one of the shots, but in colour. Unfortunately I don’t have any colour shots from this set of Franni, but at least I now know the colour of her top!

Fantastic Franni

Another shot by Terry Sparks from my collection of his contact sheets featuring Franni Leigh, who has already appeared on this site several times before. I love this pose from Franni topless in black panties, a superb view.

As already explained, Franni wasn’t her real name and beneath that wig she was actually fashion model Polly Eltes. She worked for the likes of David Bailey and others, with this being one of her few full nude modelling assignments. Today she has come full circle and has become a successful photographer behind the camera, working for interiors and lifestyle magazines.

Monique: Much More Than a Handful!


An unknown male enjoying more than a handful of Monique Devereux! These shots are original negatives and are from the 1972 Maximus glamour film ‘Medium Rare’. The film features Monique and this unknown male having badly simulated sex in and around the bedroom! Not sure about the wig Monique is wearing or why her hairy bush looks so grey, but he seems to be enjoying himself.

Cherry Orchard: No Hiding Place For Modesty!



Over the past years I’ve been busy scanning and editing my growing collection of new models taken by Terry Sparks and Cherry is one of those models! When I say new I mean new to me, not new work! Scanned from a set of 10 contact sheets with 120 different images I love this shot of Cherry trying to cover her modesty and failing as she poses in front of a mirror. A stunning model that looks familiar to me for some reason, but a fabulous slender figure on show and as with most glamour models from the early 70s onwards showing off a very full thick bush indeed!

Terry certainly had an eye for capturing his models in the best light, but I’m not so sure about the names he gave them sometimes, as I’m assuming Cherry Orchard wasn’t her real name? Saying that Cherry Orchard has a certain ring to it and probably works well for this model.

Again these are a different era and type of image to the early Harrison Marks and Russell Gay images you would normally find here, but a little bit of diversity never hurts. Especially as most of the stuff I’m posting now is original never seen before stuff that I’ve come across on my travels and worth sharing. As always a big thank you to Terry for the dates and names of the new models :)

On The Edge with Maria!


A beautiful posed shot of Maria Edge by Terry Sparks in 1972. I love the way she is sat on that stool, legs wide apart with her hands crossed in front of her. The fact she is wearing just fishnet stockings and a necklace and looking away from the camera all adds to the composition of the shot.

The Sinful Jeanette Marsden


Jeanette Marsden, the third and final model taken to Crete in May 1972 by Terry Sparks, along with Mandy Kuypers and Leanarda Colombo. Two beautiful shots of Jeanette’s tanned body with just a hint of bush in the shot, as she poses on the sea edge. I couldn’t find much about Jeanette and her career, other than she had a few minor appearances in soft-core films, including one in 1973 titled ‘The Sinful Dwarf’.

Suzette St. Clair Sets


Four different images of Suzette St. Clair by Terry Sparks, taken in different rooms of a house in 1972. I have multiple images from each set, all showing off Suzette in different rooms and items of clothing. I think my favourites and the denim shorts and her posing in the living room in the dark bodysuit.

Which set would you like to see next?

Pippa’s Perfect Pair


Two shots by Terry Sparks from his trip to Crete in May 1972. This was Pippa Pascale, Pippa was the younger sister of Vicki Pascale (Marianne Morris) and her real name was Mandy Kuypers and was probably better known under her real name. Fantastic views of Mandy stood in the sea, flashing open her wet blouse.

Mandy was again another model I hadn’t come across until Terry sent the shots through. She followed a similar route to her sister, a spread in Mayfair, a few soft core glamour films etc.
