Leonarda Colombo – Sun Hat Stunner! (Original)


The final one for today and I’ve left the best to last (in my opinion), with a stunning shot of Leonarda Colombo by Terry Sparks.

After my last shot from Terry, he contacted me again with some more new shots, including this one and some more great little stories attached. Terry mentioned that the trip to Rhodes was financially quite lucrative and so the following year he took another three girls to Crete for a week in May, 1972. It was a disaster due to the fact that it rained all day and every day until the day before they were due to fly back. So they worked like crazy on that final day and managed to get a few decent shots, including the one above. The girls were Jeanette Marsden, Leonarda Colombo and Pippa Pascale and I’ll reveal more about those girls later, as I have shots of them all.

I’ve never come across Leonarda before, if that is indeed her real name, but what a stunning shot Terry managed to capture of her, her body and let’s not forget that magnificent bush on display! I may be biased here, but Terry’s work always manages to amaze me, from the way he gets the model to pose, looking so natural in doing so, to the clarity of the shots, under the circumstances :) I have a growing collection of shots from Terry, which I’m proud to show off on this site and always enjoy the next set of shots that thankfully come my way and long may that continue. You also forget looking at these shots that they are over 40 years old and it’s no wonder that the likes of Russell Gay and others were more than happy to publish Terry’s work whenever they could. Saying that I’m sure there must be out-takes for shots with the models I haven’t seen, as Terry only sends through the best shots, but who wouldn’t :)

Thanks as always to Terry for another stunner!

Lip Smacking Marianne!

The final two shots I have of Marianne Morris posing on a beach in Rhodes taken by Terry Sparks, plus two German magazine articles featuring the Rhodes 3, again obviously taken by Terry. Marianne looks fantastic in the two original images from Terry and although I love the shot of her running her tongue over her lips, I think I prefer the second shot. I just love the pose of her laying back on the wet sand, with the reflection of her body showing in the wet ripples of the sand.  A perfectly composed shot from Terry and a great additional prop of the large necklace!

The two magazine articles show all three of the Rhodes models, Marianne Morris, Venetia Day and Dinah Challen posing in the sea and on the rocks and love the colour shot of all three of them. Dinah in those long black boots and blue panties looks fantastic and a shame I’ve n ot got any of those from Terry :)

Thanks as always to Terry for sharing his original images with me and still a few more Venetia Day shots to go before I run out!

June Palmer – Laid Bare in The Office (Original)

The final two shots (that I have) of June stripping down to nothing whilst in the office. Taken around 1971, according to the calendar in the background, June looks fantastic in next to nothing as she poses on that desk and beside the chair! Love the wood panels on the walls and the red telephone, but if I had a choice for things in my office it would definitely be a nude June!

Three More Cherry Treats!

Three more shots of Cherry (Cherri) Gilham following on from these I’ve already published. Taken by Terry Sparks, they again show Cherry posing in different ways in a chain bikini on set amongst the pillows. The final image also gives us another glimpse of her full and glorious bush, which is more than you normally saw from her in her page 3 days!

Thanks as always to Terry for sharing his work with me and being able to post it on this site.

Janey’s Bedtime Look! (Original)

Excuse the deviation from the norm today, but I just fancied posting a few random favourite models amongst the normal posts. Another big busted favourite of mine from my early posting days was Canadian model, Janey Reynolds (Joanne Frawley). This is one of the better shots of her from the early 1970’s, but she regularly appeared in the late 60’s posing with Kim Knowles in some very dodgy wigs and beehive hairstyles, which you can see over on my Tumblr site. She looks stunning in this shot posing on the edge of the bed in stockings and her boobs don’t look as big in this shot as others, but big enough!

A Day in The Sun!

A second shot of Venetia Day by Terry Sparks whilst on location in Rhodes in 1971. Unlike the first shot here, this is a wider shot of her, soaking wet with her arms out wide, as she stands in the sea.  I love the pose and how the water glistens on her wet dark body. Another stunning shot shared by Terry :)

June Palmer: Bird With a Bush (1973)


Another original shot of June from 1973 taken by an amateur photographer that met and photographed June on occasions, this one showing her in a reclining view on a chaise lounge. The original was again very orange, either on purpose (filter) or due to negative quality, so converted to black and white. The focus seems to be aimed higher up June’s body on her face and upper torso, rather than the lush bush seen at the bottom of the shot (shame!).

Sylvia McFarland – Full Bodied Beauty


A pleasant diversion from the norm in the shape of Sylvia McFarland, another of my favourite ebony beauties from the 1970s, with the most massive set of boobs on her! Sylvia and Roberta Pedon must be two of my favourite really big-titled models from the 70s! There are lots of images out there of Sylvia, some of which don’t show off her assets or her in the best light, but this shot is one of the better ones. I also have a second shot from this set, at a much wider angle where you get to see Sylvia’s full on glorious thick bush, that is hinted at in this shot.

Mary Millington – It’s a Fair Cop!

Ah, the number of cop or truncheon jokes I could have used for the title of this post were endless! Mary Millington posing in a non standard WPC uniform, possibly from the 1978 film ‘The Playbirds’ that followed in the footsteps of the 1977 film ‘Come Play with Me’ that was written and directed by non other than Harrison Marks. So now I have a valid reason to post some MM shots on this site, but I’ve still not decided if I’ll publish any of the more explicit shots of her yet, unless anyone has a preference either way?

Another indirect link to Harrison Marks was that Mary at one point was on the books of Strobe Studios under the management of June Palmer :)
