Franni Leigh: Skirt No.25 Cover


Fanni Leigh (Polly Eltes) on the cover of Skirt No.25 with the photo taken by Terry Sparks. I always like it when I come across a published image either on the cover or within the pages of a vintage magazine that I also have in my original collection and this falls into that category. I recently published a similar black and white version of Franni by Terry here, then what do I find on my travels but a magazine cover featuring one of the shots, but in colour. Unfortunately I don’t have any colour shots from this set of Franni, but at least I now know the colour of her top!

Fantastic Franni

Another shot by Terry Sparks from my collection of his contact sheets featuring Franni Leigh, who has already appeared on this site several times before. I love this pose from Franni topless in black panties, a superb view.

As already explained, Franni wasn’t her real name and beneath that wig she was actually fashion model Polly Eltes. She worked for the likes of David Bailey and others, with this being one of her few full nude modelling assignments. Today she has come full circle and has become a successful photographer behind the camera, working for interiors and lifestyle magazines.

The Fabulous Franni Leigh!


Another shot by Terry Sparks from my collection of his contact sheets and this time featuring Franni Leigh, who has already appeared on this site several times before here. This comes from a set of photos taken by Terry in August 1972 and the two previous colour shots on the bed are from this same set. Compared to my other posts and other shots I have seen this is very tame, but at the same time a very good shot of her, with you being able to see her small pert tits through that tight top.
