Kay Fitzsimmonds sharing a familiar bed with a large stuffed bear! I didn’t notice the bear in the shot until I started editing it, but then who would be looking for it when Kay is centre of attention. A great shot of Kay from Kamera No.27 P25 (1960) posing on a well used bed with familiar striped bedding, so either GHM only had one set of bedding or the bed was only used occasion for shots like this.

Another unknown 1960’s model sent over by John from Oxxbridge Galleries from a scan of an original print. This one shows a model in black panties, a pair of small tits and guns to match! Not quite sure why the guns, but it did make me come up with all types of suggestive titles, such as, who will unload first, give me both barrels and many more about loaded weapons, but I settled for the title above :)

A new shot of June from John and one of several I have from this set. Taken at Strobe Studio’s this set features June topless wearing a pair of sheer black panties in various poses on and off a sheepskin rug.
You can also see in the background the psychedelic wallpaper that has featured in various other shots of June at the same studio, including a set of her dressed in long tunic. I’m unsure if all these shots were taken at the same time, but I’m sure she went through several wardrobe changes in a session, so it’s possible? Plus, she has the same long hair style in all of them?

It’s always good too make new contacts with similar interests, but then who doesn’t like looking at naked women from the past? So it was great to receive contact from John at Oxxbridge Galleries in New York. John is the owner of a New York City based gallery that specializes in nude photography and presently they have a project under way where they are trying to identify a large number of vintage nude model photos from the 1950’s-1960’s. They use to have someone who did this for them, but he is getting on in his years and his health no longer allows him to do this. So they contacted me via the site, as long time admirers and wondered if I knew of anyone who would be interested in such a position. I said I would post the details of the position (below) to see if anyone that uses my site would be interested.
John also runs a large eBay site, selling a large selection of Vintage erotica, which you can find a link to here, but it is based on eBay.com, so you may not get to see all the great images, as they seem to block some adult content if you access the site outside of the US!
Not only that, but John sent me some great vintage images that I can share on the site as well, such as the one above. Not my normal subject area, but who could resist an unknown model with a fantastic body and I just love the padded fireplace in the background! I have others from John to share and look forward to seeing more over time, but it’s always good to make new contacts with shared interests, so thanks John for the images and making contact :)
John’s advert:

A restored colour shot from a Pamar slide of Pamela Green posing nude on a rowing boat on the Isles of Scilly in 1958. This shot along with a few other’s I have were taken by Harrison Marks as part of a shoot for his hardback book ‘Kamera on Location’. There are several different shots of Pam posing with this rowing boat within the book and all black and white, but these are the first I’ve seen in colour. Beautiful views in the background and foreground for all to see :)

Someone requested another Hanna Viek shot, so as they asked so nicely, here is a fourth shot of Hanna posing in a leather armchair. This one being a much closer in view, as you can only just see the chair, but you do get a much better view of Hanna’s magnificent assets, which can’t be a bad thing, can it?
Two shots of Pamela Green, Mary Deighan and Madeleine Mado (Maria Hale) from Kamera Backstage (1959). Both shots are very elegantly done, with all 3 models fitting well into the same shot. My favourite is the top shot with Mary and Pam wearing the nipple covers or pasties, whatever they are called, and Madeleine in the background. The bottom shot is all about the use of light and shadows bouncing off the bodies of the 3 girls, and it works very well with the shape of the bodies and the different perspectives. One of my favourite early Kamera Specials. :)

An upfront image of 1960’s model Paula King giving us an eye watering view of her plumped up cleavage from the 1960’s Glamour book. That blouse is only just keeping them in!

An early colour shot of June posing with just an umbrella as cover! Restored from an original colour negative from John, this shows a young June posing nude with just an umbrella as a prop. I’m not sure if this was ever published, but I’m sure I’ve seen this shot or similar with the umbrella somewhere before, but at the moment exactly where escapes me.

Not really relevant other than it’s a great quality shot from a medium negative scan and worthy of sharing!
The 1970’s Porn-star, with the equally appropriate name, Lisa Love, who was also known by the more boring names of Sally O’Neil or Gertrude. Nothing boring about this shot of Lisa and her lush body and pussy and I have a few more of her to share at some point :)
