Kamera Calendar 1964 (Jan – June)

The first appearance of Vivienne Warren in the Kamera Calendar and my favourite shot of the first six months. Vivienne is the only model to appear twice in this year’s calendar, and for a change Pamela Green in her many guises only appears once (excluding the cover)

Vivienne Warren & Ann Walker

A double feature! Vivienne Warren & Ann Walker posing against a window at Ewhurst Manor and it looks like very little editing was needed on AW’s pubic region, as it looks shaved to me!  Originally from an edition of Kamera and re-published in Magnificent Models No.1 by Nostalgia Publications.

Kamera Calendar 1963 (Jan – June)

Time for another Kamera Calendar, this time we go back a bit to 1963 and the cover and first 6 months.  

The cover of the calendar is a puzzle, according to some there were two versions on the calendar each year. One was for the general public, without cover and one for garages, business etc that was mounted and had a cover, or it could have been the other way around!  I’ve seen some on their original mounts on eBay with a cover.
 
Anyway on to 1963, including a cover :)
 
Cover – Tina Graham (Christine Carter)
 
January – Bridget Leonard
 
February – Ann Walker
 
March – Marie Deveraux
 
April – Pamela Green
 
May – Jackie Salt
 
June – Rita Landre (Pamela Green)
 
 
Thanks must go to John W for this set of scans and for getting his A3 scanner out so I didn’t have to stitch the images together :)

Annie Walker – The Mystique of a Mature Woman

An older Ann Walker (34) posing in Mayfair Magazine Vol.11 No.10 (October 1974), original images and text included below.  She sure looked good and I love the last two images below, what a glorious full natural bush she had!  Anyone know if the modelling agency part was true and if she’s still in the business?


The Mystique of the Mature Woman – Annie Walker

Back in the supposedly swinging sixties before Mayfair and others like it appeared to revolutionise British men’s magazines,  the ‘pin-up’ reigned supreme.  Black and white, coyle posed, tastefully lit studies in which bare boobs were OK, but pubes and sizzle were strictly verboten.  Even so, despite the blandness of the studies, one girl seemed to project an aura of sexuality that set her apart.  Her name was Annie Walker and she was just about the most popular and sought after model of that time.


Some ten years ago though, Annie gave up modelling and opened her own highly successful modelling agency in North London.  She’s now 34 years old, a sleek 34-22-34 and pleased to return if only temporary, to the modelling scene.  ‘It’s all very different now’ maintains Annie.  ‘Everything used to be terribly posed, but now it’s much more relaxed and natural.  I wouldn’t have posed for the more blatant pictures that some magazines carry at the moment – I much prefer Mayfair’s style.’  Annie’s modelling career started when she was 18, posing for students at the St Martin’s Art School in London, from which she quickly moved on to magazine work and the her own agency.


With Annie’s background and past appeal in mind, she seemed to us the natural answer to all the oft-repeated requests for a photoset on an ‘older woman’.  ‘I don’t know whether younger men see me as the mature type,.’ says Annie.  ‘To be honest it’s not something I’ve really thought about.  But I do like to be treated as a woman – being the chased rather than the chaser. I’m not married, so I socialise a lot. Men? Oh, those in their 30’s usually.’ Which says much for their taste. Here’s to ten years time Annie.
