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
Denise Merton, taken by Terry Sparks in November 1971 posing sat on the bed with a familiar floral shawl type thing. Now I say this a lot on this blog as my memory seems to get worse, but I’m sure I’ve seen Denise before somewhere, other than all the images I now have of her! A stunning model with a great figure and long flowing hair, I’m sure she appeared in numerous publications, but I just can’t think where?
The start of a set of images of the very beautiful Patsy Henlow (Pam Hornby) posing for Terry Sparks. Patsy looks stunning, sat teasing us in the bath covered with bubbles, but not revealing too much. I have posted a few other shots from this set that reveal more here, plus more of this set to come.!
The shapely form of Trudy Eyre/Angela Duncan, taken by Terry Sparks. Another shot from the set of 9 new original negatives I purchased.
Leaning against a wardrobe in just bikini bottom’s and scarf, it gives us a great view of her curvy body and ample tits. Taken on location at an unknown house in the living room on 18th November 1969.
Sonia Mitchell, better known as Terry Graham, posing on a beach for Terry Sparks. The beach in question was down in Bournemouth, and the date according to Terry was May 1969. I published a small set of these shots a while back that Terry sent over from an old SVHS tape. Now I have a set of 11 contact sheets with over 130 shots of Sonia at various locations around Bournemouth and some at the flat in Notting Hill and all fabulous quality such as this shot.
Looking at this shot of Sonia kneeling topless like that on the beach I long for some warmer days, roll on the summer I say!
Something a little different this morning and one to warm you through on a cold winters morning! This original of Bobby Sparrow (love the name!) comes direct from Terry and his archive of vintage beauties that he’s had the pleasure of photographing over his career.
Taken in August 1972 at Pegwell Bay in Kent, this is one of two shots sent through by Terry showing Bobby posing nude on the beach in what seems to be a wig, but showing off her magnificent figure and bush! Until Terry sent these shots I’d not come across Bobby at all, and on searching there is very little out there about her. She seems to have posed for Oui in January 1976 and made a few appearances in some 1970s sex comedy films, but that appears to be it under the name Bobby Sparrow.
Bobby Sparrow without her wig, and Terry remembers that he worked with her several times during 1971 and 1972, mostly shooting the stockings and suspender belt style photo for the American market. She usually wore the wig and the only picture of her without one is above, but it does match them to a similar one published in Oui.
Terry also recounts that she was a very lively girl and good fun to have a laugh with. “I remember one occasion when she proudly showed me her pubic area trimmed into a heart shape. I think her current boyfriend was a hairdresser”.
“I don’t know what happened to her after about 1973 as we lost touch, but I did see a rather distressing article in a national newspaper sometime in the mid 1990s. It concerned an ex-glamour model called Roberta something, who had developed MS and was terminally ill. There was a picture of a very sick lady laying in bed, and I just could not make up my mind if it was her or not. I do remember that her real name was Roberta, so it may have been her, or it may have been someone totally different”.
Thanks to Terry for the story and hopefully the last part isn’t true, and it wasn’t Bobby, but unfortunately these things do happen. Thanks also to Terry for more shots of Bobby at Pegwell bay and that heart shaped bush!
Stella Jones by Terry Sparks from 1971 enjoying the sun on her naked body as she sunbathes. A fabulous pose on that sun lounger showing off her slender, svelte like body.
I remember my parents having a set of those loungers in the 70s as well. I also remember them being a bugger to extend out and legs regularly collapsing and having us in fits of laughter as the person sitting on it ended up in a big heap. :)
The gorgeous Pamela Alexander, taken by Paul Pantha (Terry Sparks). Taken down in Pegwell Bay on a chilly day as she strips off in the dunes. Terry remembers it being a rough old day with a cold Easterly blowing. Pam did well to not look too cold, although the hard nipples give it away!
Fabulous view of Pamela topless with jeans open from a set of contact sheets in my collection :)
Taken in August 1972 at Pegwell Bay in Kent, a colour shot sent through by Terry Sparks, showing Bobby posing nude on the beach. This one is a great shot of her posing and laying back in the shallow water’s edge, and you can just get a glimpse of bush, plus all the goosebumps, I think she was cold!
A new shot of Angela Duncan by Terry Sparks from an original medium format negative.
This ample helping of Angela came from a set taken at a house by Terry in 1970. What a delicious shot of her figure as she lies on the bed, showing off those beautiful big tits and those fantastic curves of her body. Even better as it’s in colour!
