Fiesta Spring Special 1957 – Front & Back Covers

  By Uncategorised

I recently acquired a very good condition copy of Fiesta Spring Special 1957 from eBay and I’m slowly starting to scan and edit the pages.  There are some great photo sets from some vintage photographers, so I’ll share those as I scan them.  To start here are the front and back covers inside and out … Enjoy!

Here She Comes – HM Glamour Advert Featuring Pamela Green

  By Uncategorised
I was recently fortunate enough to acquire a copy of Fiesta Spring Special 1957 magazine.  On flicking through the pages I was pleased to see several photo sets by HM and this fascinating advert on the back pages.

As you can see it features Pamela Green, but also offers the reader ‘A new series of figure and pin-up studies.  Photographed in revolutionary 3D giving 100% added depth and brilliance’  I’m not sure I’ve come across any such photo’s but would love to see some if anyone has copies?  Anyway still a fascinating insight into a magazine and adverts from over 50 years ago!

Marie Deveraux

  By Uncategorised
One of the earliest and most honoured of Harrison Mark’s models. Marie Deveraux seems to have enjoyed a short but highly successful career. According to Marks, she quit the business after getting a job as a stand in for the film and went back to America with the film crew when the shooting was complete.  She appeared in no less than 70 films during the 1950’s and 1960’s including, Brides of Dracula, The Strangers of Bombay, Carry on Cabby, The Rebel and of course as a stand in for Liz Taylor in Cleopatra, which led to her making an appearance for Playboy!

Her modelling career seems to have been very short lived and worked for HM from 1957 to 1960. Rumour has it that Marie was introduced to Harrison Marks by a struggling young actor – Michael Caine!
