I’d forgotten about this one as I’ve had it ages and got it originally from eBay and restored it but then forgot about it! A beautiful shot of Marie Deveraux on sheepskin rugs by Harrison Marks from the late 1950’s.
Marie & The Rug!
Erica & The Striped Shirt
Erica posing on the loft set wearing a striped shirt and pigtails. One of the two shots of Erica that appears in Kamera No.87 (1968), this one appearing on page 8. It was probably from a much earlier date as GHM had a tendency to throw a few old shots into the later editions of Kamera.
Ann Walker From Karama No.1
One of several shots of Ann Walker from the pages of Karama No.1. This set consists of Ann in a short see through negligee posing in front of a background of old newspapers stuck to the wall. Unknown as whom took the shots, but very similar style to that of GHM.
Marie Deveraux – Figure Quarterly Vol.15
An early studio shot Marie Deveraux from Figure Quarterly Vol.15 (1957) taken by Randall Gay to advertise her act fan dance act in the London nightclubs of the late 1950’s.
A Pictorial View of January 2014
I love this thumbnail archive view of my posts for January over on Tumblr, I just wish that something similar could be done on here for the archive as it looks so much more appealing than a list of post titles! I might do this at the end of each month, just as a record of the year :)
It also gives you a good view of any common themes that seem to be appearing for that month.

Pamela by Harrison Marks
The cover of the hardback book ‘Pamela’ by Harrison Marks. A wonderful study and book containing images solely of Pamela Green from 1955. All the images show Pam with short dark hair or the first early pictures of her wearing the red wig as Rita Landre.
The book itself contains 66 pages broken down into 3 different chapters, each containing a different set of Pam photographs. ‘By The Shore’ shows images of both Pam and Rita posing at various locations on the beach and in the sea. ‘Studio Nudes’ is self explanatory, it shows Pam posing nude in various poses within the studio, so much more formal full length poses. Finally there is ‘Art of Glamour’ where she poses in various costumes as herself and Rita, including some imaginative uses of a chequered shawl and white mink shawl/coat.
A wonderful book for any collector of GHM or Pamela and thanks to Yak from the official Pamela Green site for sending me a copy :)
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?
No Disguising It, Those Belong to Ann Austin
Ann Austin wearing a short light wig, but you can’t mistake the look, figure or the bosom! From the pages of Square No.1 (1960) by Roger Davis. I counted 10 images of Ann with and without wigs in this magazine I’ve never seen before, so great little find.
More Laid Back Loveliness With Paula Page
Another shot of Paula Page by Harrison Marks from this set, which has Paula leaning back naked against a large curved wall. It’s also noticeable in both shots that she shaved her pubic region at the time and you can see just a peak more than normally allowed.
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 :)
