Dawn Chorus – Part 1

The first part of an article title ‘Dawn Chorus’ from New Kamera No.1 (1969) and featuring Dawn Grayson in long blonde wig. The photo’s from this article were shot by GHM on the ‘Hollywood’ set at Lily Place Studios in 1964 and include the very familiar long transparent dressing gown. Dawn’s alias when wearing the long blonde wig was Liza Martelle, another made up name by GHM!

My 50th Dawn Grayson post as well, in case your interested :)

Dawn Grayson & The Orange Dress (Part 2)

I’ve had this shot a while and it wasn’t until I posted the other shot of Dawn in the same dress I realized I hadn’t published this one! So, another shot of the delectable Dawn in that Orange dress, but unfortunately it’s stayed in place this time! Dawn also had a great set of legs on her too, which she’s showing off here very well.

A Medley of Models

Here’s a new one to me from the pages of Mayfair Magazine Vol.1 No.4 (December 1966) a line up of well know 1960’s models. Unless I am mistaken from left to right we have Lee Southern (Grace Jackson), Dawn Grayson, Teri Martine, Unknown, Bobby Shaw and finally Annette Johnson. Sorry I can’t place the lovely in red, but she looks familiar, but not a regular on here, anyone put me out of my misery and name her?

Thanks must go to Dasduffer over on VEF for scanning and sharing this, along with some new Dawn Grayson and Teri Martine material from early Mayfair issues, which I hope to share here soon.

Dawn Grayson – Kitchen Capers!

Dawn Grayson nude in the kitchen and posing for Ed Alexander for his book of English Beauties (1964). As Ed himself says, when photographing the nude indoors, a change from plain studio backgrounds can sometimes be made by using the average home as a setting, as long as the setting doesn’t detract away from the model.  Trust me, my eyes are firmly focussed on the model here!

Ed Alexander Photographs English Beauties

My latest purchase arrived this afternoon and one that I’ve been after for a while, but unfortunately it’s been going for silly prices on eBay, so I’ve always missed out.  By accident I found a copy for sale on Amazon yesterday at a very reasonable price, so despite my reservations I bought it, but for that price it had to be a very poor copy surely?  It arrived today, the day after I ordered it, it was very well securely sealed, then wrapped in brown paper and had a wonderful set of stamps attached (several Channel Tunnel ones if your interested).

Well to my surprise it’s a very good condition copy of the magazine, clean crisp pages, no discolouration and for a magazine 50 years old immaculate! So well played to the seller on Amazon for such a good buying experience, if only all sellers showed such commitment. 

Anyway onto the magazine! As the title says it’s full of English beauties photographed by Ed Alexander, including none other than Dawn Grayson on the cover (one of the reasons I wanted it!).  Published by Whitestone Publications in 1964 it’s a 112 page extravaganza of well known models, both clothed and nude, including Eve Eden, Sophia Dawn, Annette Johnson, Molly Peters and of course Dawn. The strange thing is apart from Annette Johnson, they are all using different or uncommon names, like Sophie Dorn, Kay Stern and Connie Fielding. A wonderful magazine and insight into glamour photography and lots of location shots inside and outside at Ewhurst Manor.

I’m off to scan a few pages to share with you all, then putting it up on eBay for an extortionate selling price (joking, it’s one of the few I may keep)

Dawn Grayson Figure Quarterly Cover

About time I had some more of my favourite redhead!  This time gracing the cover of Figure Quarterly Vol.45 (Spring 1966) a beautifully bound full size magazine, with this edition featuring UK photographer Ken Williams, who snapped many of the same models as GHM, including Dawn.

The Dream Team!

The dream team of June Palmer, Marina Jones and Dawn Grayson on the Roman bath set being directed by Harrison Marks himself!  I’m not sure which film this is from, as don’t recall seeing a film with all three of these models in?  In other images June looks like she is playing Cleopatra?

Happy Christmas & Thank You!

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Christmas for the coming festivities and hope everyone has a relaxing break with family, as I plan to do!

Dawn Grayson from the first page of Kamera Winter Special (1967) – Yum!


I also wanted to thank everyone for the support they have shown to this site since it started in March and to the new Just June site.  Special thanks must go to John W, Simon, Phil, David, Alexei, Roop and everyone else for all their great contributions from original images and scans to the great comments and information that they impart – Thanks guys!

I’ll continue to update the sites over the Christmas period, but not as regularly as normal.

Happy Christmas and see you all in 2014!

Cheers,

Wonder
