Making Hay in August!


The August page of the 1965 Kamera Calendar. Featuring Lee Southern sitting naked on some odd looking farm machinery. Obviously a hay collector or something similar, but who cares if you have a nude Lee sitting on it in your field! :)

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?

Bobby Sparrow: Bird With a Bush!


Something a little different this morning and one to warm you through on a cold winters morning! This original of Bobby Sparrow (love the name!) comes direct from Terry and his archive of vintage beauties that he’s had the pleasure of photographing over his career.

Taken in August 1972 at Pegwell Bay in Kent, this is one of two shots sent through by Terry showing Bobby posing nude on the beach in what seems to be a wig, but showing off her magnificent figure and bush! Until Terry sent these shots I’d not come across Bobby at all, and on searching there is very little out there about her. She seems to have posed for Oui in January 1976 and made a few appearances in some 1970s sex comedy films, but that appears to be it under the name Bobby Sparrow.

At The Water’s Edge with Bobby Sparrow (1972)


Taken in August 1972 at Pegwell Bay in Kent, a colour shot sent through by Terry Sparks, showing Bobby posing nude on the beach. This one is a great shot of her posing and laying back in the shallow water’s edge, and you can just get a glimpse of bush, plus all the goosebumps, I think she was cold!

Bobby at Pegwell Bay!


Another shot of Bobby Sparrow taken by Terry Sparks at Pegwell Bay, Kent in 1972. This shot comes from a set of original contact sheets by Terry and distributed to Lilo Korenjack who was his agent in Baden-Baden, Germany back in the 70s. I fortunately came across these and many other contact sets (over 700 contact sheets scanned so far!) by accident via Lilo’s niece, and now they are part of my collection.

A great shot of Bobby perched atop that piece of wood on the beach and a great smile too :)

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 here. 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.

Thanks as always to Terry for the fabulous insights into his time behind the camera with these models.

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.

A Thirsty Georgina Wilson! (1979)

I’ve had these two shots of Georgina Wilson and this Coke bottle for ages and may have posted them on one of my older blogs, but they still really appeal to me. I think it must be the way the water from the bottle runs down her body in the way, especially the second shot :) These plus other shots of Georgina appeared in Mayfair Magazine Vol.14 No.8 (Aug 1979) and until recently that was all I had.

Recently I’ve found out she actually modelled under another name, Linda Butler and I have 4 superb originals of her as well! So until I post the new ones, time to re-enjoy these shots of Georgina/Linda.
