The start of a set of eight 10×8 prints featuring the glorious Dawn Grayson stripping out of a white fur coat. The set progresses as she reveals more, including a black underwear set with peek-a-boo bra and stockings. The style of the shots reminds me of Russell Gay, but no stamp on the back to say who took the shots. Dawn looks as magnificent as ever!
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.
