Lorraine Burnett – QT Beauty


Lorraine Burnett as the QT Beauty from the centre pages of QT No.13 by Russell Gay. Strategically placed bow and long blond hair covering the essential bits!

Anyone have a date for this magazine, or any of the other QT magazines, as they don’t seem to have publication dates in them?

Elaine Desmond – Etudes No.7 Cover

Elaine Desmond sporting a wicker hat on the cover of Etudes Plastique Album No.7 (1955) by Belorgey and Roland Carre.  A wonderful 32 page French magazine, but unfortunately the only recognisable model is Elaine on the cover, the rest although very nice are unknown French/European models.

I must say that for a 59 year old magazine it is in exceptional condition, as these magazines have detachable covers similar to a dust jacket.  That means the magazine inside is nearly perfect condition with no wear to the page edges of discolouration. It came as part of a bundle of magazines I aquired and rather than putting it to one side to gather dust I thought I’d have a go at selling it on eBay.  Take a look if interested, but in the meantime enjoy the cover :)

A Smoking (Hot) Ann Austin

A Nude Ann Austin showing off her curvaceous body as she lays by the fire reading a magazine and having a smoke! Taken by Harrison Marks in his flat and another appearance of one of his cats in the foreground.  

Beautiful Nude From Photographic Rhythm No.1

But who is she?  This one is driving me mad (easily done!) as I know the face and body, but the name escapes me, so can someone name her please?  She appears throughout ‘Photographic Rhythm’ magazine No.1 by Lawrence Venn (late 1950’s) and a stunning beauty, just need a name?

An Early Blonde Pamela Green

A very early blonde Pamela Green taken by Harrison Marks from the 1950’s. Looking at the second smaller shot I would say this was probably a blonde wig rather than the dyed blonde hair she became so familiar with later in her career.

June Simpson by Lawrence Venn

The distinguishable June Simpson posing on leopard skin rug for Lawrence Venn. This was taken from the pages of Photographic Rhythm No.1 (1950’s) by Lawrence Venn and featured models such as Eve Eden and others that I recognise but can’t name yet.

The magazine itself is a 34 page medium format (9 x 7 inches) publication featuring full page black and white nudes, with a back page of photographic technical data to make it all seem legit.

Note: This image may look edited as though it’s be cut out and pasted onto the background, this wasn’t done by me (I’m not that clever!) but part of the original publication!

Rita Landre – Beach Babe! (Original)

An original of Pamela Green in an early shot of her as Rita Landre taken in 1954 by Harrison Marks. The red wig was purchased from wig creations and taken on location to St. Mary’s on the Scilly Isles in September of 1954. Pam wore the wig for the first time on the isles, which then later became synonymous with her Rita alter ego!
