Julie – Checking The Make-up! (Original)

Another original shot of Julie by Harrison Marks (From Kevin) giving us a great view of her as she looks at her reflection in the mirror. Interesting to see Nivea on the dressing table and if you look closely you get a glimpse of Julie’s lovely bush, cracking shot all round!

A Figure Hugging Pose! (1957)

From Kamera Special No.1 (1957) comes this figure hugging pose by an unknown model. Early in the publication timeline of Kamera, this shot is more in line with the early publications of Fiesta, where Harrison Marks used to publish models scantily clad in underwear rather than nude. There is something about this shot that appeals without having to show bare skin, be it the stockings, the figure hugging corset or maybe the panties with little bows on it! A classic shot!

Marie Deveraux – A Sandy Outlook (1958)


A very beachy view of Marie Deveraux from Kamera on Location (1958). Sitting topless in the sand dunes wearing a sarong, blond wig and scarf. The scarf was obviously an accessory for the shoot as they all wore them and I know they were popular back then, but why wear both the wig and scarf? Anyway, who cares about the scarf with that view. :)

Marilyn Monroe – Fiesta Magazine, July 1957

Not my normal post, but one I couldn’t resist! I’m a big Marilyn Monroe fan and I used to post images of her on an old blog, but there are so many images out there of her I got a little bored! I came across these shots and hadn’t seen them before and they were in an early Fiesta Magazine (July 1957), along with some other of my favourite models.  Anyway I loved the classic cover and her as the centrefold, so decided to post on here for a change :)

Enjoy!

June in June! (1957)

June Simpson featuring on the cover and inside pages of Fiesta Magazine (June 1957), including the double page centrefold. These shots have June with short cropped blonde hair, rather than the more familiar long blonde curls when she posed for Harrison Marks.

A Stunning Pamela Green Sketch!

I came across these shots of a Pamela Green sketch totally by accident over on Twitter and was totally blown away by them. They are done by the very talented artist Jennalee Auclair, who can be found on Twitter, Tumblr and pretty much everywhere else :)

The first image is of her sketch in progress, but even at that stage it’s obvious it’s Pam. the second shot is of the finish drawing and it’s amazing!

Both of these shots from Jennalee were obviously inspired by images of Pamela in the late 1950’s, when she had short dark hair and not the long blonde locks we are used to seeing. I would go so far as saying that the image below was used as the inspiration! 

I’ve tried contacting Jennlee to see if I can get a better copy of the finished sketch, so that I could publish it on here, but so far no luck! As an artist trying to succeed I’m sure she is far too busy, but based on what I’ve seen here and some of other other work I’m sure she will succeed, so good luck Jennlee and thanks for sharing such a great sketch of Pamela :)
