Elaine Desmond Uncensored & Retouched (1963)

I always find it fascinating when I come across an image of a model published in Kamera and have a copy of the original to compare it with.  The above two shots are a good example of Elaine Desmond published in Kamera No.51 (1963).  
The first shot is the original uncensored shot of Elaine showing us everything, including her smooth fully shaven mons pubis area. The second is the same shot, but published in Kamera after the retoucher has got hold of it to get it past the censors! If we ignore the quality difference between the two shots I still know which one I prefer. Although back when this was published, something was better than nothing in terms of titillation! Two great shots of Elaine which ever version you prefer.

Elaine Desmond – River Dance! (1966)

A shot of Elaine Desmond down by the river taken by Harrison Marks and sent through by Kevin from one of his original negatives. Location wise I’m still not sure this is Ewhurst, but rather a location down in Cornwall, as I’ve seen similar shots at this dam used in Kamera on Location 66 with Gill Evans.

Elaine Desmond – Etudes No.7 Cover

Elaine Desmond sporting a wicker hat on the cover of Etudes Plastique Album No.7 (1955) by Belorgey and Roland Carre.  A wonderful 32 page French magazine, but unfortunately the only recognisable model is Elaine on the cover, the rest although very nice are unknown French/European models.

I must say that for a 59 year old magazine it is in exceptional condition, as these magazines have detachable covers similar to a dust jacket.  That means the magazine inside is nearly perfect condition with no wear to the page edges of discolouration. It came as part of a bundle of magazines I aquired and rather than putting it to one side to gather dust I thought I’d have a go at selling it on eBay.  Take a look if interested, but in the meantime enjoy the cover :)

Elaine Desmond – The Perfect Pick Me Up!

A luscious looking Elaine Desmond with a cup of coffee, the perfect pick me up for a cold morning.  Not sure about the yellow shag-pile carpet though and looking at those nips (as I do!) she looks a little cold too!  Anyone know where this image was published?

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)

Kamera Special No.4 & No.5 Covers


The cover of Kamera Special No.4 featuring Elaine Desmond perched precariously on some mussel cover rocks!


The cover of Kamera Special No.5 featuring a much happier Jutka Goz as she didn’t have to balance on some dodgy rocks for this shot :)
