The cover of the first edition of Amber by Russell Gay, featuring a model I recognize but unable to name at present? This first edition featured classic models posing in underwear or topless such as Nancy Roberts, Erica, and Rochelle Lofting and was published towards the end of the 1950s or possibly the early 60s. Classic stuff from Russell Gay and up there as some of my favourite early glamour publications along with QT, Model, and Coral.
Doreen Pierre: Cover Girl

The fabulous Doreen Pierre on the cover of Girl Illustrated. No, it’s not the original cover, but one created by myself, along with a coloured image.
Della's The Right Choice!
Della Fox from the distinctive cover of the 1950s magazine Connoisseurs Choice & Modelling Review Vol.5 No.2. Other covers I’ve posted of CC & MR can be seen here.
June Russell – Femme Cover (1958)
Crushing corsets is June Russell on the cover of the Harrison Marks publication Femme. The first issue of Femme appeared in the summer of 1958. It had a Harrison Marks’ photograph of June Russell on the cover, but it featured photographs ‘from Britain, America, and the Continent’ of nude and seminude female models by other photographers as well as GHM himself. The 1958 edition had no issue number and may have been a one-off, but another issue appeared some time later. From this issue, ‘Femme’ reverted to the tried and tested 7″x 5″ pocketbook size and appeared as The New Femme No.1.
A stunning shot of June Russell in white corset, pink frilly knickers and fishnets and the floral wallpaper makes an appearance in many of GHM’s early shots.
Another Exciting Front & Rear!


The front and rear cover of another edition of Exciting Magazine. This time Exciting No.15 featuring a model in stunning blue satin high heels showing off her slender figure. Not quite a full rearview, but near enough! And I’m not quite sure what it is she’s sitting on, but looks like some type of dressing table.
A Taste of France!
Another model from my collection of contact sheets from the Cover Girl/Excite Magazines, with this one teasing us to what she has below her jumper! I have several sets of this model but for some reason only two of her in this jumper. I love her figure as she lifts her jumper to reveal it below, especially that slight curve to her stomach as she kneels on the chair! Nice heels and stockings as well :)
