Dedicated to the published work of Harrison Marks & other prominent photographers of the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. Along with popular glamour models such as June Palmer, Pamela Green, Dawn Grayson and others
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 couple of very colourful views both in terms of content and colour from Exciting No.26 (1969). Another full magazine scan from my collection of Exciting & Cover Girl magazines showing off some fabulous views of a European model. Loving the hair and heels in the shot and think the pink bi-colouring emphasises the model and view quite well.
The cover of Cover Girl No.25 from the mid 1960s and featuring a different view than you would normally find on this type of publication. These European publications normally heavily feature models with a full on bush, popular in Europe at the time. This edition is one of the few to feature a shaven model on the cover and within, and rather nice she is! Plus, you wouldn’t get such an open and explicit cover on a magazine like this in the UK.
I also published a different bi-coloured view of this model here.
I’m trying to build up a collection of both Cover Girl and Exciting magazines, but they are hard to find in good condition. So far I’ve managed to acquired 7 editions of Cover Girl, 5 of Modern Girls and 10 editions of Exciting, including the very rare No.1. Still more to go but slowly getting there! :)
A bi-coloured view from the inside cover of Exciting No.21 (1968) of a model on the phone in just stockings and heels.
Another hairy view from the inside of Exciting No.21 (1968). This time a very nice black and white shot of a model in white heels and stockings on the bed showing off her bush!
I now have 17 editions of Exciting in my growing collection, and they are certainly different from the magazine style of Harrison Marks and other UK photographers. Most shots are by Serge Jacques, and he certainly had a more open and differing style for his models to pose. Not everyone’s taste, but the style of the magazines and models has intrigued me, so thought I’d explore them a bit more! ;)
From my growing collection of Exciting Magazines, the front, and rear cover of Exciting No.26 from 1969. This curly haired beauty isn’t shy in showing off her front and rear either, with two very open but classic continental poses on view. I’m not sure if her hair is natural or a wig, but the collar and cuffs certainly seem to match!
I love bi-coloured shots like this, especially this type of view! This comes from the pages of Cover Girl No.10 published in the late 1960s. I also adore this model, her chic look and the obvious view!
Some of you may know the titles ‘Cover Girl’ and ‘Exciting’. These were published by Nordisk Bladcentral, Copenhagen and distributed by Sangko-Norden and both magazines followed a very similar format. They both featured colour covers and back pages of a featured model, as well as a colour centrefold. The rest were black and white shots, but sometimes with a single coloured border or bi-coloured. All the models had one thing in common, they were nearly all natural and showing off their thick bushy curls. Most of the images of the girls were also mostly taken by Serge Jacques.
This model was a slight exception, as she had half-and-half down below, hair on top and smooth lower down. I also love how in this shot she is literally pulling her top up to flash her tits, with her knickers half down exposing her pussy!
Continuing from my collection of Cover Girl. The front and rear cover of Cover Girl No.24 from 1968. I love the concept of a front view on the main cover and a rearview on the back. I think I prefer the rearview of this edition, as you get a great view of the model’s great arse as she leans over a very retro style chair.
A nice uncensored view on the front cover to that no doubt caught the eye of potential European buyers.
Some will say that this type of magazine and post isn’t for them, which I totally get. For me, it’s about capturing and revisiting a magazine that’s disappearing fast in today’s world. These magazines are over 50 years old now, and printed versions are becoming rare. Take into account that these type of magazines are also disappearing because they are seen as not acceptable by certain groups in society today. It makes it even more important to capture and celebrate these magazines, the models in all their fabulous glory and the photographers that pushed the boundaries back in the 1960s. Sometimes it just seems like we are going backwards in our views and everything needs to be censored in case it offends one group or another!
I say just enjoy it for what it is in your mind and if not just move along :)
A fabulous blonde and a fabulous arse from Exciting No.8 (1967) A front a rear view in one from this bi-coloured page featuring a gorgeous blonde posing for Serge Jacques. What a great round arse she has and the rest of her figure is pretty good too :)
Dipping into another of the magazines in my collection. This time a rather nice bi-coloured view of Freida from Exciting No.16 printed in 1967 by Nordisk Bladcentral.
Freida is one of my favourite models from this type of magazine and was photographed by Serge Jacques. She appears in several editions, plus I have a set of original contact sheets of her and some prints. I identified her from this magazine as one page offers photo sets of different models and she is named on that page.
This is a fabulous pose of her kneeling on that chair in stockings and blouse with one leg up. It gives us a great view of her round arse and just a hint of pussy below :)
