Two shots of 1950s US model Judy Geeson showing off her stockinged leg and garter, as well as more of her slender body through an open white négligée.
Dedicated to the published work of Harrison Marks & other prominent photographers of the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. Along with popular glamour models such as June Palmer, Pamela Green, Dawn Grayson and others
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 :)
Angela Duncan stretching out and enjoying the sun on a sun lounger showing off her exceptional assets taken by Harrison Marks in the grounds of Ewhurst Manor! Are those sun loungers still around, as I remember them as a lad and trying to expand them and set them up. Only to sit on it, lay back and it to collapse in on me, ah those were the days!
Saying that, I never saw anyone like Angela sunbathing on them like that!
A restored original silver gelatin print of Della Fox. A fabulous shot of her, but I’m not too sure what that is on her shoulder, don’t think it’s a fox, but it made a good title! I suppose it might be a mink or something, but still a bizarre thing to have in the shot and draped over her shoulder. Maybe the photographer thought he needed to add something more to the shot, but what’s wrong with just a naked Della?
A beautiful 10 by 8 print of Lesley Draper. I’ve posted a few shots here of her, and she seems to have posed for several photographers including Leslie Bainbridge.
I love this shot of her posing in a striped blouse held together by the slimmest of bows! The lighting on her face and hair is perfect. :)





A member kindly reminded me that it’s about time we had another Ann Austin post, so I’m not one to ignore requests and here we are with not one shot of Ann but 10! Yes, admittedly it’s only 5 pages with two images per page, but still you got to admit it’s rather good. From the magazine Six No.6 we have a short haired Ann doing a slow and sensuous strip from black underwear and tweed skirt to just her heels! There’s no mistaking the fabulous Ann Austin body and curves in those last 2 shots. :)
