Light Me Up Sylvana!

Sylvana Manto in a topless pose having a smoke! Shots of these models posing nude or topless smoking always make me smile as it looks so unusual in today’s world where smoking is no longer sociably acceptable. Still a classy shot of Sylvana wearing those gloves as well and she could smoke like that in my presence any time!

Rosa Domaille – You Can Leave Your Coat On! (Original)

Stunning shot of a younger Rosa Domaille (Eve Eden) posing in stockings and fur coat and not much else! A simple and effective shot where you can just imagine Rosa walking into the room in that fur coat and opening it up to reveal what you see before you! Thanks to Kevin for sharing this image from one of his original negatives.

Julie & The Floral Wallpaper! (1957)

She certainly had a thing for big earrings, as here she is wearing nothing more than earrings whilst posing in front of a reoccurring floral wallpaper that appears through-out some of Harrison Marks early shots. The stunning Julie from Kamera Special No.1 (1957)

A Postcard From Shelley (1950's)

Before he produced Kamera and his other publications Harrison Marks used to contribute to publications such as Carnival, Fiesta and other small format magazines. He also took photographs of models and actresses that were used as postcards. Above is a good example of a postcard from the 1950’s of actress Shelley Moore (whoever she was?). Nothing risqué about these unless you class a cleavage shot as risqué?

Marie Deveraux – Through The Valleys of Sand! (1958)

A view from above of Marie Deveraux laying back covered in sand from Kamera on Location (1958). Taken on location in the Isles of Scilly by Harrison Marks this is a great shot of Marie, but I can’t work out if it’s been retouched. I think she was clean shaven below, but the angle of this shot looks off, but there is sand in places down there!

Who is Lustra?

There has been a great discussion on who the unknown curvy model is on this earlier post, kicked off by myself when I posted the first of two shots where she appears in Kamera No.25. The second shot from No.25 can be seen above, plus further evidence below that she also appeared and modelled under the name ‘Lustra’
Evidence suggests that these two shots are almost defiantly the same model that appeared in Kamera, as the facial features are the same as are the size and shape of her tits :) The following two are less definitive, but probably her as well, with the bottom shot the lesser of the four.
Thanks must go to Jeff for suggesting the name Lustra and PhilD for providing the photographic evidence from the long lost ‘MyArchives’ site. We’re still no nearer actually getting a proper name for this well endowed model, but we now know she was known as or modelled as ‘Lusta’.  Any more insight or evidence on this model would be gratefully accepted as always :)
