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!
It’s always quite satisfying when you see a shot like above and can identify the model, photographer and date it was taken. The original shots were taken in August of 1972, so one assumes this was published later 72 or 73? Unfortunately I only found the cover, so no idea if Franni went on to reveal more on the inside pages!

The Fabulous Franni Leigh! (Original)

 

Another shot by Terry Sparks from my collection of his contact sheets and this time featuring Franni Leigh, who has already appeared on this site several times before here. This comes from a set of photos taken by Terry in August 1972 and the two previous colour shots on the bed are from this same set. Compared to my other posts and other shots I have seen this is very tame, but at the same time a very good shot of her, with you being able to see her small pert tits through that tight top.
As already explained Franni wasn’t her real name and beneath that wig she was actually fashion model Polly Eltes, who worked for the likes of David Bailey and others, with this being one of her few full nude modelling assignments. She also had brief careers as a British actress and singer, but today she has come full circle and has become a successful photographer behind the camera working for interiors and lifestyle magazines. Thanks as always to Terry for the fabulous insights into his time behind the camera with these models.

Goodnight Nurse! (Original)

[nonmember][/nonmember]

[member][/member]

A still from the 1972 Harrison Marks 8mm adult loop film “Goodnight Nurse”. The original film was silent and filmed in black and white and at first I thought the nurse was Gerry Brown, but I’m not convinced looking at this second photo following on from this shot, that it is Gerry?

This film was from the more adult range of Harrison Marks films, he did during the 1970’s as they featured short stories featuring more explicit views than his original glamour model films of the early 1960’s. I’ve not seen or got a copy of this particular film, so couldn’t tell you how explicit the actual 15 minute film is, but the stills from the film are uncensored and show off a very bushy model posing as a nurse!

Thanks to Jasmoff over on eBay I’ve also got a copy of the original film cover below, along with several other of Harrison Marks adult film covers . He is also selling off several of the films including this one if anyone is interested and has the facility to play or convert old 8mm films? Also if anyone has a copy of this film to hand I’d love a copy to add to my growing collection of GHM films and I must try and publish a few more!

Gerry’s Perfect Bedside Manner!


I didn’t recognize her at first with the short hair, but is this Gerry Brown, looking particularly stunning posing bedside as a nurse? I have no idea why she’s posing as a nurse, but at a guess it was probably part of a Harrison Marks glamour film, but no idea which one?

The Very Lush Leonarda Colombo (Original)


Of all the images sent through by Terry Sparks of different models that have posed for him in the 1970’s, Leonarda Colombo has to be a favourite! What a fabulous shot of her posing on the beach in Crete in May, 1972, with a big smile on her face from under the sun hat. And let’s not overlook her main assets, the stunning curves of her sun tanned body, those round tits and that dark, thick lush pussy, highlighted by the tan-lines caused by her bikini bottom.

Simply wonderful, but a real shame I only have these two shots of her, but a huge thanks to Terry as always for sharing his portfolio of beauties like Leonarda with us :)

Leonarda Colombo – Sun Hat Stunner! (Original)


The final one for today and I’ve left the best to last (in my opinion), with a stunning shot of Leonarda Colombo by Terry Sparks.

After my last shot from Terry, he contacted me again with some more new shots, including this one and some more great little stories attached. Terry mentioned that the trip to Rhodes was financially quite lucrative and so the following year he took another three girls to Crete for a week in May, 1972. It was a disaster due to the fact that it rained all day and every day until the day before they were due to fly back. So they worked like crazy on that final day and managed to get a few decent shots, including the one above. The girls were Jeanette Marsden, Leonarda Colombo and Pippa Pascale and I’ll reveal more about those girls later, as I have shots of them all.

I’ve never come across Leonarda before, if that is indeed her real name, but what a stunning shot Terry managed to capture of her, her body and let’s not forget that magnificent bush on display! I may be biased here, but Terry’s work always manages to amaze me, from the way he gets the model to pose, looking so natural in doing so, to the clarity of the shots, under the circumstances :) I have a growing collection of shots from Terry, which I’m proud to show off on this site and always enjoy the next set of shots that thankfully come my way and long may that continue. You also forget looking at these shots that they are over 40 years old and it’s no wonder that the likes of Russell Gay and others were more than happy to publish Terry’s work whenever they could. Saying that I’m sure there must be out-takes for shots with the models I haven’t seen, as Terry only sends through the best shots, but who wouldn’t :)

Thanks as always to Terry for another stunner!

Three More Cherry Treats!

Three more shots of Cherry (Cherri) Gilham following on from these I’ve already published. Taken by Terry Sparks, they again show Cherry posing in different ways in a chain bikini on set amongst the pillows. The final image also gives us another glimpse of her full and glorious bush, which is more than you normally saw from her in her page 3 days!

Thanks as always to Terry for sharing his work with me and being able to post it on this site.

Even More Cherry Revealed!

After my first post of Cherry Gilham by Terry a few weeks ago, a few more revealing shots of her this time! From the same set of Cherry posing amongst the cushions in a chain bikini bottom, we get to see her beautiful smile and even more! One can only admire the magnificence of that lush thick pussy on d it’s well worth seeing, even if in the second shot she’s trying to hide it from us. I don’t believe these were ever published, but Terry can correct me if I’m wrong, which is a shame as they are well worth seeing, but I do wonder if Benny Hill ever got a view like this? Thanks to Terry for sharing these wonderful shots.

Cherry Gilham – A BJ For Benny! (Original)

Just when I thought I’d run out of stuff sent through by Terry Sparks, a load of new images of his work arrive in the mail from him :)

This is Cherry Gilham who Terry discovered in 1971 and this is the first nude she ever posed for in March 1972, along with 12 others that Terry sent through from the same set. They all show Cherry posing amongst the cushions with this chain bikini bottom and range from topless like this to fully nude exposing a fine bush!  Cherry is probably more well known for appearing with Benny Hill in the 1970s on the ‘Benny Hill Show’, as one of the bevy of beauties that used to regularly appear on the show.  I was a big fan of the show myself and used to love seeing the speeded up chase sequences where Benny chased the scantily clad women, or they chased him. All good tongue in cheek smutty fun back then, but it seems behind the scenes things got a bit more naughty! Cherry also admitted in her autobiography that she gave Benny several blowjobs in his house after filming was over for the day, naughty girl! As well as working on the Benny Hill show, 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.

A big thank you as ever to Terry for allowing me to share his work from back then. I find his insight and little anecdotes about the models and his time with them so fascinating and always a pleasure to share.
