Pamela Green – 1950's Chic! (1955)

A shot of Pamela Green looking very chic in a shot from a set of her wearing black pants, scarf around her neck and a tucked in blouse from 1955. This shot comes from an original silver gelatin photograph, but the same shot also appears on page 50 in ‘Pamela A Portrait in Studies’ by Harrison Marks also published in 1955.

A Postcard From Shelley (1950's)

Before he produced Kamera and his other publications Harrison Marks used to contribute to publications such as Carnival, Fiesta and other small format magazines. He also took photographs of models and actresses that were used as postcards. Above is a good example of a postcard from the 1950’s of actress Shelley Moore (whoever she was?). Nothing risqué about these unless you class a cleavage shot as risqué?

Eve Eden – Cleavage You Could Park a Bike In!

It must be an intermammary cleft sort of day for me today, or cleavage shots to the rest of you! Another great smile from Even Eden, but nothing can distract you from looking at that great cleavage on show and as the title suggests you could park a bike between those amongst of things!

A Figure Hugging Pose! (1957)

From Kamera Special No.1 (1957) comes this figure hugging pose by an unknown model. Early in the publication timeline of Kamera, this shot is more in line with the early publications of Fiesta, where Harrison Marks used to publish models scantily clad in underwear rather than nude. There is something about this shot that appeals without having to show bare skin, be it the stockings, the figure hugging corset or maybe the panties with little bows on it! A classic shot!

Tantalizing Tina (1964)

Tina Graham (Christine Carter) in the reflection of a mirror looking very serious! Taken by Ed Alexander and published as part of his book – Ed Alexander Photographs English Beauties. He seems to have had a flair for this type of shot as there are other reflection/mirror shots in the same book, all equally as enthralling.

Marilyn Monroe – Fiesta Magazine, July 1957

Not my normal post, but one I couldn’t resist! I’m a big Marilyn Monroe fan and I used to post images of her on an old blog, but there are so many images out there of her I got a little bored! I came across these shots and hadn’t seen them before and they were in an early Fiesta Magazine (July 1957), along with some other of my favourite models.  Anyway I loved the classic cover and her as the centrefold, so decided to post on here for a change :)

Enjoy!

Lorraine Burnett by Eva Grant (1957)

Lorraine Burnett posing in a red and white polka dot bikini from Fiesta Magazine (June 1957). This was from a feature of articles by Eva Grant called ‘changecoat’ showing how the appearance of a model can be complete changed by clothes, hairstyles. lighting etc. This was changecoat No.6 featuring different images on Lorraine Burnett.
