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 🙂

The successful applicant would work remotely from home identifying digital images we sent them. The models to be identified are a mix of early burlesque stars, adult models and mainstream movie stars from 1949-1969. If interested in the position please email us at [email protected]
That’s a nice picture, she definitely hasn’t got any clothes on! By the way, is that a small pile of logs behind her?
Nothing gets past you Roop! And yes a pile of logs in the fireplace, although for show I would imagine more than anything else!
Jeez – exactly what we did for years at the old myarchives ..haha .. problem is mag names not always reliable except for the odd photog mag
I know Kev, maybe someone from there will see this and be interested, who knows? They seem to have lots of 1950/60’s unknown Burlesque models and US models, so not really my area of expertise, but great to see them!

Cool! Just looked at her Facebook site and blog, may need a more detailed investigation later 🙂
