I’ve posted several individual shots of the three models Marianne Morris, Venetia Day and Dinah Challen by Terry Sparks on Rhodes, but very few of them all together. So, it’s very nice to find this article in Girl Illustrated Vol.5 No.1 (1971) with them all. They have Marianne down as Viki Pascal, which I knew she modelled as, but Dinah as Linda Rome is a new name to me.

A nice nude rear view of Eva (Eve) Nieman from Carnival Magazine (December 1969). A stunning view of her bum and there are two other pages that feature Eva in the same edition in various poses, mostly topless. Several feature her in a frilly white cap/hat that could even be a shower cap, very bizarre!
An image of Bea Bea Chu-Chu in the studio by Harrison Marks and from an original negative. Interestingly, I first thought this was a retouched or censored shot, but as it’s straight from the untouched negative, maybe not? The reason for the question was that in all her other shots she is showing off her very natural dark pussy, whereas here it seems to have gone?
After careful study, I’m still not sure what has happened, you can clearly see hair, but not to the extent of her other shots and it seems almost white? Possibly they powdered it with makeup or something, god knows why, or maybe they did something to the area in developing the negative? It certainly looks different that’s for sure, but Bea Bea sure does have a fabulous curvy figure and big round tits, all that distract you nicely. :)
Vanda Hudson taken by Harrison Marks from a set of Pamar Colour Slides (1959), of which this is a scan of one of the slide. Nothing risqué about this shot, other than a flash of cleavage through the opening of her white outfit, plus a hint of nipple through the material. It’s still a very elegant shot of Vanda in the studio with the vivid red background.
Beneath the blonde wig and gloriously naked and exposed is none other than Gloria Lomax from a restored 10 by 8 print published by Russell Gay. Kneeling beside the armchair with all her charms on show, this is the second shot from this set of Gloria, the first one here. I love this set, but alas only have the two shots, but always on the hunt for more. :)
A glistening Frankie Amos from a restored 35 mm colour slide posing in the studio only in her high heels, but looking very oiled up! I wasn’t able to restore the colours of this slide completely, but there is actually something quite appealing about the shot and it having the red tinge. I love the way Frankie is stood and how the oil over her body glistens in the light and think the hint of red actually adds to the shot, so worth sharing.
One of my favourite models posing at my favourite location, June Palmer, on the doorstep of the Cottage at Ewhurst Manor. She’s even wearing the open long black négligée as seen here and one would even suggest that this shot was taken by Harrison Marks, due to the model, location, and attire. :)
A stunning view of June and her body in front of that infamous door, and thanks as always to John W for this shot and a collection of new June images that he recently sent over.
Carrying on with the summer feeling with a favourite model from the 1980s in the form of Karen Mifflin cooling off at the sea edge. It seems Karen had a propensity for sunny locations or getting wet as a model, as nearly all the shots I have of her involve her doing one or both, such as this shot.
Not that I’m complaining as this olive skinned beauty suns her fabulous body and dark lush bush, but that sand is going to be a bugger to get out that hair ;)

Dawn Grayson & Gloria Lomax as Melissa & Jenny from the US publication ‘Girl Friends’, appearing both on the cover and a small 3-page article titled The Inseparables!
Funnily enough, both girls were friends or knew each other in real life and originally came from Luton, travelling up on the train to London for modelling jobs. Nice to see them appearing together in these photos, although I do have an original of them posing together with a third model posted here. Not sure about the dodgy wig Gloria seems to be wearing in these shots, I assume it’s a wig!
Peta Gareth (Karen Townsend) taking a shower from a still from the Harrison Marks film ‘The Girl Upstairs’. Peta doesn’t seem to have appeared in any of the standard Harrison Marks publications, but did appear as Karen Townsend in Mayfair Vol.6 No.12 (December 1971) and Whitehouse No.6.
What is certain is that she did a number of adult films for Harrison Marks in the late 1960s and 70s. These included Lorita on a Summer Night (1973), The Girl Upstairs, The Swingers, The Barn Orgy, A Night at the Bistro Bordello and Zum Knutschkeller. The last being the German hardcore version of A Night at the Bistro Bordello, which also included an appearance by Ava Cadell. What all of these films do show is that Peta wasn’t a shy girl and was happy to perform in front of the camera and do full hardcore scenes, leaving nothing to the imagination!
