Sylvana Manto or Madelaine Bannister?

So I’ve been seeing more and more shots of Sylvana Manto recently, so I did some digging around to see where else she appeared. In doing so I came across several early publications of Spick and Span featuring Madelaine Bannister, who on looking I am sure is the same person? Going under the name Sylvana she appeared in publications such as Fiesta, Kamera Special No.1 around 1957 and Kamera No.9 (1958)

If I were a betting man I’d say they were the same person and the Sylvana name was an alias made up by the likes of Harrison Marks or Russell Gay, but then most models didn’t use their real name at all so maybe both are? Can anyone add further proof Sylvana and Madeliane are one and the same?

Either way I’ve got some great original shots of her coming up!

Christine Carter Strips!

A great shot of Christine Carter (Tina Graham) by Russell Gay from the 1950’s Glamour Book seductively peeling down her stockings. It’s definitely Christine/Tina as I have another shot of her by Russell Gay in the same wig.

Into Rita's Boudoir

The sultry Rita Landre (Pamela Green) posing in her boudoir and looking very enticing in her fishnet stockings, garter and star choker. Similar shots of Pam as Rita appear in early editions of Kamera and would put this shot around the late 1950’s, somewhere around 1958/59? Thanks to Kevin for the original scan.

Suzi Shane in Widescreen!

Found on eBay a great shot of Suzi Shane by Harrison Marks on the living room set at Lily Place Studio’s around 1967. I’m not sure if this is the full shot as it seems to be quite wide, so possibly cropped? Either way a great top view of Suzi and loving the waist and curve of the hips in this shot.

Julie – Kamera No.9 Cover

Finally got my hands on a very good condition copy of Kamera No.9 (1958) featuring the ever exotic Julie! Plenty of Julie shots inside including the colour centre pages, along with other great early HM models, including Pamela Green (of course!), Margaret Warhurst, Sylvana Manto and Lorraine Burnett. 
An excellent conditioned copy with very little wear considering it’s age and all for the bargain price of £4.99 from eBay. Yes that low! I know most copies in good condition go for a lot more, but unfortunately or fortunately in my case eBay crashed last week for several hours and I was winning the auction at £4.99, but expecting it to go a lot higher. Anyway the auction disappeared during the crash and it’s end time passed, so I assumed it would be re-listed, but no I got an email I’d won it at the starting price and the seller honoured it! So thanks to the eBay crash and a nice seller I got Kamera No.8 and Kamera No.9 for a total of £11! Must have been my day as never normally that lucky on bidding.

Eve Eden – A Blonde on the Rocks!

A very colourfully dressed Eve Eden in light blue cardigan and pink pants, along with her dyed blonde hair. The blonde look didn’t last long, but I wonder if she had more fun as a blonde? Photograph taken by Ed Alexander as a black and white shot of Eve in the same attire appears here

Teri Martine – A Mature Look!

One for Phil D as he commented on what Teri would look like now? This is a few years old, but it still shows Teri when she was modelling and looking as good now as she did in the 1960’s. I think she’s given up now, but is still going strong at 69 and living in the USA. She regularly sells her catalogue of images on eBay, along with her back catalogue of June Palmer images and negatives, which were passed on to Teri when June passed away, as she was June’s best friend of 40 years

A More Revealing Annette Johnson

A more revealing and risqué shot of Annette Johnson posing in front of a fireplace giving us a complete view of her body, including her smooth pubic region. A great shot, but I’m not sure the photographer realized about the plaster on her big toe or forgot to retouch it out!
