Margaret Nolan – The Art Mistress (Video)

A nice little clip sent to me of Margaret Nolan doing a little strip (No nudity though!) from one of my contacts.  The clip is actually from the 1966 film ‘The Great St Trinian’s Train Robbery’, where Nolan played the ‘Art Mistress’ for the school, who had to revert to stripping when the school closed, due to fire!

Nice Little Clip of Margaret Nolan.

Enjoy!

Safe Shoes Prevent Purlers!

Another original June Palmer bit of memorabilia from John W*.  A British Safety Council poster featuring June Palmer. This is an old fax, sent from London to New York on 12th November 1966. I wonder if any of the original faxes survived?
 
For those that don’t want neck ache, the original text on the fax read:
(WITH AMS BUDGET STORY BY EDDY GILMORE)
(NY.20-Nov.  10)–WATCH YOUR PURLEY GAIT!–The British Safety Council is mailing 20,000 factories a poster featuring pretty model June Palmer in high heeled shoes taking a tumble and the slogan: Safe Shoes Prevent Purlers. Purler is Cockney slang for falling on your rear. The Council suggests that the posters be put up on factory bulletin boards as a warning that high heels cause falls.(APWirephoto by cable from London)
(a51200pw)1966 
It seems The British Safety Council had a thing for using popular models of the time on their posters, as Dawn Grayson caused quite a stir when she appeared on a poster for eye protection.
I’m really pleased to be sharing this unique images, as I think it should be shared, but please where possible if you share elsewhere link back to this original.

Margaret Nolan – Goldfinger Title Sequence

I don’t normally do GIF’s, but saw this on Tumblr and as it’s two of my favourite subjects I thought I’d share it!  I’m probably a bigger James Bond fan than I am 1950’s & 60’s vintage models, so to combine the two was too good to miss!  So here you have the opening title sequence from ‘Goldfinger’ cleverly broken down into 10 short clips, featuring Margaret Nolan’s body as a movie screen.  I think numer 2 and number 5 clips are my personal favourites!

Album Modelstudier Covers

Another different foreign magazine called Album Modelstudier, which was a digest size magazine (6.7 x 9.6 inch) published in Denmark by Forlaget Studia Publications in the late 1950’s and 60’s.

The magazine consisted of 24 pages including covers, with a colour cover and black & white photographs of models in various poses in natural environment. 
Again the early issues have models on the covers I don’t recognise, but by issue No.30 onwards they start to get very familiar again :)
