Light & Shade Magazine Covers (1950’s)


A set of covers from the publication ‘Light & Shade’ from the late 1950s. I have a set of 15 covers from No.1 to No.15, but have no idea if that is a full set? These were produced by Russell Gay and published by Dalrow Publication Ltd. Pennine Publications, Bolton. A very similar set of magazines in the same style, including Tricoloured covers was published under the title ‘Line & Form’, but by Eva Grant (I also have a set of these to edit and post).

I love the covers of this magazine, especially the use of one primary colour per cover. I think my favourites are No.8, No.9 (June Simpson) and No.12.

Not Such An Unknown Amateur


I recently received a collection of negatives from a contact taken at some point during the 1960s, including these 3 nude shots of this unknown model. At first, I thought they were just shots someone had taken of an amateur housewife in the front room, but it seems I may have been mistaken.

I recently came across a late 1960s publication called Satin Flash, which is very similar in style to Nylon Flash, Range, and others. All feature single models, duo’s or sometimes groups doing a striptease and as the titles suggest wearing nylons. Some feature well known models to this site, and others I don’t recognize. Well, Satin Flash No.40 features the above model stripping and exposing herself in various outfits. So, maybe not such an amateur after all, although I have no idea who she is and if the 3 shots I have ever appeared in a publication. Not the best figure I’ve seen either, but very natural and the same half smile in all shots.

Cleo Simmons: A Devil At The Door!


The shapely form of Cleo Simmons by Harrison Marks. Posing in the doorway of the coven set Cleo looks perfectly posed on tiptoes and kneeling showing off her ample curves. The Devil’s Head pops up again in these shots, but works well against the stone wall and step.

Vicki on The Rocks!


Marianne Morris (Vicki Pascale) on the rocks! Taken by Terry Sparks on a beach in Rhodes in 1971. From a large set of images of Marianne taken by Terry, but I do love the three different views we see here.

A Rocky Outlook!


An unknown model taken by Leslie Bainbridge, probably for his H&E magazine. This comes from an original print in my collection, but no idea who the model is? A great view and smile with plenty on show, not sure about the rocky position!

Elizabeth Flynn: Desktop Desire!


Two shots of Elizabeth Flynn sat on a desktop at Ewhurst Manor in black gloves and heels and fishnet tights. Elizabeth hasn’t appeared much on here due to a lack of good images, but these are wonderful shots of her and her figure and perky tits! Not sure who took the shot, but not sure if it was Harrison Marks.

Eva Nieman: Pearls & Curls


The start of a large set of 35 mm black and white negatives of Eva Nieman in the studio. A cracking shot of her wearing a pearl necklace, with curls in her normally long straight hair. I’d say they were taken at Jason Studio’s as the Chaise lounge in the background and other furniture matches images of other models taken at Jason.

Smooth Creams & Jellies!


The stunning Dawn Grayson giving a knowing look as she sits in a white bra with pleated skirt pushed up to flash her stocking tops. An original negative of an image that probably appeared in an edition of Spick & Span or similar.

As a housewife in the 1960s, it was always useful to keep up to date with the latest recipes for smooth creams!

Modern Girls No.28


The cover and centre spread (literally!) of Modern Girls No.28 from 1969. From SVEA Press AB in Sweden, these magazines came from the same publishers as Exciting and Cover Girl.

Published in the 1960s these magazines featured two models that performed a strip of each other, down to stockings and heels and other items of underwear. I have 32 editions in my collection, with the early versions being just a naked strip of the girls. Later versions, as with Exciting and Cover Girl, were a bit more open and obvious, as you can see! Typical European models of the time, with several familiar models appearing across all three publications.
