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.

Vera Day – Nude & In Colour!

One of the few fully nude and colour images of Vera Day from ‘Vera’ by Harrison Marks. Classically posed on yet another leopard skin rug and it seems a leopard skin or sheepskin rug were de rigueur for any respected photographer back then!

She Walks in Beauty Dust Cover

The dust cover to the hardback book ‘She Walks in Beauty’ (1964) featuring from bottom to top, Margaret Nolan, Marie Deveraux, Rita Landre (Pamela Green) and unknown  Lee Southern (Grace Jackson).

Another on my list of books to get an actual copy ( I should write a list!)

Thanks to MadMax for identifying Lee Southern in the top image :)

A More Familiar Cleo Simmons

Two shots of a more familiar blonde Cleo Simmons from Nouvelle Serie De Revue No.65.  Unlike other images from this publication where pubic hair has been added back in, these shots of Miss Simmons seem to show her beautiful true natural bush.

June Simpson – Photographic Rhythm Cover

The always glorious June Simpson on the cover of Photographic Rhythm No.1 by Lawrence Vern. I’m not sure you’d get away with a model today sitting astride a leopard skin rug including head, but you could then.  The leopard looks in a state of shock, but so would you with June Simpson sat astride you naked, or maybe not!

Lots of restoration to this cover as it was in bad condition and had a big strip of sellotape down the spine, which you can just see, but a good effort I think!

Rita Van Ryan

Rita Van Ryan by Russell Gay (1967).  I saw this on an auction site and can’t say I’ve come across her before or even if the photo was by Russell Gay, but a wonderful image all the same.  Nice to see the curves of an Ebony babe from the 1960’s as they were far from common back then, but equally as appealing.

Anyone come across her before or seen any other images?
