Vanda Hudson by Harrison Marks (1959)

  By

Vanda Hudson was an Actress/Model/Singer (1937-2004) that had small parts in a number of British movies in the 1950’s and 60’s. She appeared in a set of Pamar Colour Slides (1959), of which this is a scan of one of the slides, plus appearing twice in the 1959 Kamera Calendar. She appeared on the January page in a shot similar to above on the spotted background and the November page, with a fur stole and red background. It’s not known if she posed or appeared for Harrison Marks other than these times.

Della’s in The Pink! (Original)

  By

A couple of colour transparencies of Della Fox posing nude in the studio. Unfortunately both had degraded very badly to a purple/pink hue and I was only able to recover the colour as abvoe, but there was just too much pink to remove, hence the title 🙂 Still worthy of sharing here, as what shots of Della aren’t? Especially a nude and oiled Della!

It’s Curtains For June (Originals)

  By

Two original shots of June scanned from 35mm negatives by John W and restored by my good self. both show a longer haired June posing in front of some silk curtains, one wearing a slightly opened (pink) dressing gown and a rear view of June with a red sheer sheet around her waist. The silk curtain is also a red and I know this because I have the two same images in colour, but from smaller poor quality scans. This does raise the question as to why there are both colour and black and white negatives out there of the same shot? One assumes they were mass produced for sale as slides in both colour and black and white?

Two great shots of June in front of the curtain that work well in black and white, as well as colour.

Nancy Roberts – An English Rose!

  By

A great shot of Nancy Roberts nude in the garden posing as she inspects a rose. This is from the same set as a shot with her, June Palmer and a friend that I posted over on my Just June site, which originally came from Magoothings over on Tumblr. As previously mentioned I think this could have been taken at Sheplegh Court by Leslie Bainbridge, but a complete guess 🙂

June Palmer – Three Birds in a Bush!

  By

I came across this shot over on Tumblr posted by Magoothings and had never seen this shot of June before. The shot taken in a garden location features not only a young June, but also Nancy Roberts (stood) and Maureen Frawley a third unknown model. I never knew June had posed with Nancy, but it would make sense that their paths must have crossed at some point and this is one of those occasions. At a guess I think this location may be somewhere like Sheplegh Court around 1960, with the photographer being Leslie Bainbridge? Only because both June and Nancy posed for Leslie early in their careers, but I may be completely wrong.

It’s still a great photo of June and friends and when I asked about it’s original, Magoothings said he’d seen a copy of this shot on eBay Germany, but I could find it to see if there were any others.  Thanks to Magoothings for letting me share this great image, plus another of Nancy over on Kamera Club, and if anyone can shed any light on this image or the third model, please do let me know?

Edit: Thanks to Portland, who has identified the third model as Maureen Frawley 🙂

Unknown Model With A Handy Belt! (1960’s)

  By

An unknown 1960’s redhead (wig?) model posing nude in the studio with a very unusual accessory over her shoulder! I’m not quite sure what it actually is, but it I think it’s a belt with hands either end that interlock to form a belt, but I could be wrong! Comes to something when I’m more interested in the belt over a models shoulder than the fact she’s naked!
