There is no doubting that it’s Ann Austin on the cover of this US magazine Glamour Parade (February 1959), but interesting that the magazine has her named as Ellie Manning on the cover.

Thanks to Paul from Firebird Records for the cover and additional info that unfortunately the only other image inside the magazine is the same shot in black & white. No indication of the fact that she’s a British model, in fact it suggests she’s from New York! But we all know how the magazines and photographer’s back then liked to embellish on the truth around model names and where they came from :)

A great clear colour shot of Ann in white lace panties and negligee with the negligee open but strategically placed to cover her ample bosom enough to get her on the cover!

Dawn Grayson – Pick Of The Pin-ups! (1970)

Dawn Grayson looking rather sexy with her hair up on the cover of Beautiful Britons No.178. I’ve seen several shots of Dawn in this underwear and wearing her hair like that, but for some reason I like this painted cover version better. A great smile as she leans against the side of the armchair as well.

Ann Walker on the cover of Solo No.26 (1962) by Harrison Marks. Posing in an office location and wearing that odd polka dot hat or bow as in this shot. I think she was maybe meant to be a maid or servant of some sort, as in another shot from the same magazine she is also seen wearing a matching polka dot apron, but not a lot else. In total there are 8 images in Solo No.26 of Ann in this outfit and she could serve me like that any day!

Hyldagarde – Kamera No.75 Cover (1966)


Hyldagarde otherwise known as Hilde Beck adoring the cover of Kamera No.75 (1966). 

Hilde was recruited for the role of a slave girl in the Harrison Marks glamour film ‘Favourites of the Pharaohs, Episode 3 – The Slave Market’. She featured on the above cover of Kamera No.75 and ten other pages of stills taken on the Egyptian Set. A second shoot of Hilde followed, this time at GHMs’ London flat, and seven photos from this shoot are reproduced in Kamera No.78. She also appears in the 1967 Kamera Calendar along with two 35 mm Colour Slide Sets No.41 and No.42.

Kamera No.1 Cover (1957)

At last I’ve managed to get a copy of Kamera No.1 (1957) by Harrison Marks and featuring Pamela Green as Rita Landre on the cover. It’s not in perfect condition, as the cover is coming slightly away from the rest of the magazine, but what do you expect for a magazine that’s 60 years old this year! The rest of the magazine is in very good condition with all pages crisp and clear, although for a first edition it was only 32 pages long compared to later editions at 48 pages.

Pamela Green as Rita Landre on the cover looks fabulous in her prime kneeling on that red bedspread. Another gap in my Kamera collection filled, only another 32 editions out of 89 to go!

Bea Bea Chu-Chu – A Solo Affair! (1961)

Bea Bea Chu-Chu on the cover of Solo No.22 (1961) by Harrison Marks. Another magazine from the Solo collection providing a complete set of images and poses of one model, this time Bea Bea. Although not one of my favourites you cannot deny she had a great pair of tits on her!

A Very Stern Looking Ms Burnett (1957)


Lorraine Burnett looking very stern on the cover of Kamera No.4 (1957) by Harrison Marks. Obviously not impressed by something as she stands there hands on hips thrusting her ample bosom forwards. Although you can’t take her too seriously stood like like with very little on, now can you?

Bournemouth Never Looked So Good in the 80’s! (1981)


Another staple diet for me back in the 1980s was the Paul Raymond publication Escort, which was always on my buy list each month, although not many copies survived!  

I loved how they published so-called girls from major UK towns each month, all looking fabulously hot and willing to strip or drop their knickers for the camera. I liked to believe at the time they were actual girls from that town, but looking back now, most were professional models. Such an example is the very ample Angel from Bournemouth, who willingly flashed her big tits and hairy pussy within the pages of the magazine, but is actually Jennifer Eccles. Jennifer went on later in her career to do far more than stripping in front of the camera, but stayed a favourite of mine even to today.

Kamera Magazine No. 70 to No.89 (1966-68)

An early Christmas present to myself arrived today :) Consecutive copies of Kamera from No.70 through to the last edition at No.89. All are in very good condition considering they are 50 years old, the pages are clean,crisp and flat with no fading and the colour on the covers as you can see is very good as well.

Very pleased with my purchase and it fills a big gap in my collection of the later Kamera editions, which surprisingly are harder to come by than some of the earlier ones! This little lot also features some of my favourite models such as Barbara Halks, Hyldagarde (Hilde Beck), Velma Loftus and June Palmer of course! This should keep me busy scanning on the run up to Christmas and it’s a tough job, but someone has to do it! Not that I mind staring at pages of naked women each day :)

I also have some duplicates, so look out for those being sold off to help my addiction in the near future! The duplicates are No.70, 80, 81, 86, 87 and No.88 if anyone is interested and wants to make me a reasonable offer?

The Diane Weber Album (1959)


The cover of the Diane Weber Album, published by Kamera Publications. Although this and a few other magazines were published via Kamera Publications, they were not Harrison Marks’ photographs, but imports from the USA. This particular magazine featured photographs of Diane Webber (Marguerite Empey) taken by Bunny Yeager. A very nice collection of photo’s of Diane posing down at the beach.
