Barbara Peckinpaugh by Edmund Leja


The elegant Barbara Peckinpaugh, taken by US photographer Edmund Leja in 1980 from a set of original contact sheets. Barbara only worked as a model for a short period of time from 1980 until 1986 under various names and seems to have mostly done glamour or softcore work apart from two hardcore movies. Sadly no longer with us, as It’s reported that after her short career in modelling, she committed suicide. In nearly all her photo’s she’s blonde, but this shot was at the beginning of her short career, so obviously her natural colour.

Edmund Leja (1919-2002) was based in West Hollywood at the heart of the early Southern California nude photography industry. He was also friends with Andre de Dienes and both shared several model contacts including Diane Webber, Collette Berne (Playboy cover model, July 1960), and Sue Snow and Tammy Saunders. Leja discovered and photographed three Playmates for Playboy magazine Teddi Smith, Miss July 1960, Donna Michelle, Miss December 1963 (and 1964’s Playmate of the Year), and Lori Winston, Miss June 1964.

Edmund Leja photographed over 200 models between the 1940s and the early 1980s, and until I came across these shots of Barbara, I assumed he only shot glamour shots similar to those published in Playboy. Apparently not as there are several shots of Barbara showing off a lot more (as members can see), but at least the collars and cuffs match showing she was a natural brunette :)

Julie Collins & Her Massive Mounds!


Julie Collins posing nude by Harrison Marks as she sits astride a chair showing off her massive mounds and that fabulously full and curvy figure. I found a shot I’ve published from this set previously here, which seems to be from Parade or Carnival.

Dawn & Lisa – Kamera No.78 (1967)


The stunning pair of Dawn Grayson and Lisa Hamilton from Kamera No.78 P16 (1967) posing on the front lawn at Ewhurst Manor. The white wrought iron bench has appeared many times in other GHM shots, including this one of Dawn taken at the same time. Another shot where I also have the original negative, so members get to see a larger high definition copy of the same shot, plus a close up of Dawn and Lisa and those lovely perky little tits. :)

I love the shots of these two together and thankfully have many more to share!

Ann Austin – The Slow Reveal!

A member kindly reminded me that it’s about time we had another Ann Austin post, so I’m not one to ignore requests and here we are with not one shot of Ann but 10! Yes, admittedly it’s only 5 pages with two images per page, but still you got to admit it’s rather good. From the magazine Six No.6 we have a short haired Ann doing a slow and sensuous strip from black underwear and tweed skirt to just her heels! There’s no mistaking the fabulous Ann Austin body and curves in those last 2 shots. :)

New Trudy in Red!


The shapely form of Trudy Eyre/Angela Duncan, taken by Terry Sparks from a set of 9 new original negatives that arrived this week.

A fabulous shot of her sat on the floor in an open red négligée. I love that négligée as it falls open, revealing her curves and those big, round tits! Taken on location at an unknown house in the living room on 18th November 1969.

All shots posted from this set, can be seen here

A Happy Fireplace Spread!


A beautiful shot of a smiling unknown model from a 35 mm colour slide. Such a great smile from this model as she sits atop a fireplace showing off her body. I’d guess the shot was taken late 1960s or early 70s based on the full bush on show between the open legs and taken at Scottlee studios in London. 

No idea who the model is unless someone can ID her? The shot also has a Georgian feel to it with the wallpaper in the background and the choker she is wearing.

Sofa, So Good!


An original 5 by 4 photo of a blonde casually posing topless on the sofa. At first, I thought this may be just an amateur home shot, but I recognize the model, but not her name. It may well still be an amateur shot of her in a studio setting, but it has a very casual feel to it, I like.

Wanda Liddell – Retro Colours


Wanda Liddell from another restored 35 mm colour slide posing nude on a set, but highlighted by some rather psychedelic lighting. It gives the shot a rather groovy 1970s retro feel, which would be about right based on the information on the slide. The slide is a Kodak Ektachrome Colour Slide and has the date April 1973 stamped on it and is slide No.13.
