Magnificent Models No.1 Cover

The cover of Magnificent Models No.1 by Nostalgia Publications reprinting the works of Harrison Marks from Kamera, some new and some reprinted, but most uncensored!

What is more interesting (to me anyway!) is the background of the Pat Davis image as it shows a copy of the Kamera Calendar featuring Pamela Green I posted here

Pamela Green & The Floral Bikini Bottoms (1950's)

Two early shots of Pamela Green with long blonde locks by Harrison Marks taken from original silver gelatin photographs. These come from an early set of a blonde Pam, but she is wearing a blonde wig in these rather than dying her hair peroxide blonde as she did later in her career. Although none of these shots appear, a similar shot of her in the same wig appears in ‘Pamela’ in 1955.

These are not her as Rita Landre as identified elsewhere, as the wig is very different and not auburn/red. Originally published by Filthy Gorgeous Media (who retain copyright) these were part of the extensive collection of Bob Guccione (Penthouse) photographs collected back when Bob and Harrison Marks collaborated in the late 1950’s for the Gucci Girls, who appeared in the variety magazine ‘Show Business’. They fell out shortly after, but not before Bob seems to have collected a wide range of early GHM photo’s including Pamela Green, Margaret Warhurst, Robyn and other early models.

Some great early Pam shots to enjoy!

Barbara Halks – Kamera Calendar, January 1969

The start of the 1969 Kamera Calendar today and we start with the January page featuring the lovely Barbara Halks posing with a red rose and from memory this was taken outside Ewhurst. No cover for the 1969 calendar and it seems to be quite random on if the calendars had covers or not.

Vera Day – Corset & Cleavage


Two simply stunning backstage shots of Vera Day wearing a great combination set of black corset, panties, and stockings. My favourite is the top side shot of her playing with the frills of the corset, but also getting a great view of that cleavage pushed up by the corset. Two very classic and classy shots from the 1962 hardback book by Harrison Marks, simply title ‘Vera’.

A Bamboo Framed Rona Scott

It seems that this bamboo frame was another staple prop for GHM as it appears like the sheepskin rugs in numerous shots! This time the frame is expertly used to show off the figure of Rona Scott and the use of the shadows from the lighting is near perfect. Look at the shadow from the bamboo cane that expertly hides her pubic region, clever or just luck?

Zigrinda From Germany

Another shot of Zigrinda by Harrison Marks, but this was published in the 1969 Tudor House Publication ‘Round The World Girls’ in T.H.P Vibra Colour, whatever the hell that is? The magazine featured 19 girls from different countries and it looks like 2 models that regualry posed for GHM appeared, one being Zigrinda. The other was Velma Loftus, who appeared as the Girl from South Africa. Being a late 1960’s publication and having seen other Tudor House publications, there was plenty of untamed bush on show in this magazine!

Susan Rivers By Harrison Marks (1956)

An early shot of Susan Rivers by Harrison Marks from the 1956 Carnival Annual. The same image along with another of Susan (below) also appear in the October edition of Fiesta from the same year. It seems that this image as well as the one below incorrectly name the model as Eva Wilde Pamela Green, which it most definitely isn’t! Although some shots of Pamela at the time have her with a similar short red hairstyle, they are different models and one of Pamela with this hairstyle also appears in the same Carnival Annual.

Pamela Green – Amazonian Beauty (Original)

Pamela Green with short dark hair looking more tanned than usual or slightly ‘blacked up’ for this shot. Taken from an original Harrison Marks silver gelatin photo this set features Pam nude with hooped earrings and posing with what looks like a glass orb or ball. Although this shot itself didn’t appear, others from the same set were published in the hardback book ‘Pamela – A Portrait in 58 Studies’ by Harrison Marks in 1955.
