Barbara Peckinpaugh by Edmund Leja


The elegant Barbara Peckinpaugh, taken by US photographer Edmund Leja in 1980 from a set of original contact sheets. Barbara only worked as a model for a short period of time from 1980 until 1986 under various names and seems to have mostly done glamour or softcore work apart from two hardcore movies. Sadly no longer with us, as It’s reported that after her short career in modelling, she committed suicide. In nearly all her photo’s she’s blonde, but this shot was at the beginning of her short career, so obviously her natural colour.

Edmund Leja (1919-2002) was based in West Hollywood at the heart of the early Southern California nude photography industry. He was also friends with Andre de Dienes and both shared several model contacts including Diane Webber, Collette Berne (Playboy cover model, July 1960), and Sue Snow and Tammy Saunders. Leja discovered and photographed three Playmates for Playboy magazine Teddi Smith, Miss July 1960, Donna Michelle, Miss December 1963 (and 1964’s Playmate of the Year), and Lori Winston, Miss June 1964.

Edmund Leja photographed over 200 models between the 1940s and the early 1980s, and until I came across these shots of Barbara, I assumed he only shot glamour shots similar to those published in Playboy. Apparently not as there are several shots of Barbara showing off a lot more (as members can see), but at least the collars and cuffs match showing she was a natural brunette :)

Sliding Into The Weekend!

Slipping into the weekend and the new site with a random shot from my collection. This beautiful oiled creature comes from an original 1980 35 mm colour slide. No name on the model, but it seems to come from Imperial Press and was taken by Jerome Bischoff. No idea who he was, but guessing both the model and photographer were US based?

Barbara Peckinpaugh – Front & Rear!


Another two shots of the stunning US model Barbara Peckinpaugh. Taken by US photographer Edmund Leja in 1980 from a set of original contact sheets in my collection. I seem to have a thing for showing doubles of Barbara, as both shots are rather nice. She was quite a beauty with a fabulous figure and I love the freckles across her top and shoulders.

Shane Spreads! (Explicit)

A magazine spread from the naughty collection from 1980 featuring Shane (Lesley Cooper) from Whitehouse No.41. It’s a bit more explicit than usual but it’s Lesley and I have a thing for her and I published two other shots from this same shoot here.

You can see the difference in content between magazines of the same time. Escort that appeared in general newsagents was less open in the way the models posed, whereas Whitehouse although not fully hardcore definitely pushed the boundaries more, hence not as available apart from sex shops or under the counter if you knew where to get it!  You can also see how far the models would go in posing, with the same model posing for glamour only or all the way through to hardcore. It’s amazing who you find doing the full range when you start to look :)
