Bobby Sparrow – Bird With a Bush! (Original)

Something a little different this morning and one to warm you through on a cold winters morning! This original of Bobby Sparrow (love the name!) comes direct from Terry and his archive of vintage beauties that he’s had the pleasure of photographing over his career. Normally this type of image is better suited over on my Days Gone By Porn blog as it’s a more 1970’s type of shot, but as it’s from Terry I’ve decided to keep all his shots in one place.
Taken in August 1972 at Pegwell Bay in Kent, this is one of two shots sent through by Terry showing Bobby posing nude on the beach in what seems to be a wig, but showing off her magnificent figure and bush! Until Terry sent these shots I’d not come across Bobby at all and on searching there is very little out there about her. She seems to have posed for Oui in January 1976 and made a few appearances in some 1970’s sex comedy films, but that appears to be it under the name Bobby Sparrow, unless anyone knows her under a different name? I’ve also asked Terry if he knows any more about her. Still a cracking original shot of her 🙂

June on Glass – Box 1, Plate No.2 (Original)

The second shot of June from the first box (12th August, 1960) of photographic glass plates scanned by John. All of these shots show a naked June posing in various potions for the camera and this shot is described on the box as ‘Kneeling on knees front hands under chin’. A beautiful clean shot showing June’s body at it’s best and completely untouched by censors!

Again, below I have a print from the same glass plate showing the ‘mark-up’ of the shot for publication or printing. I don’t recall seeing any of these being published though?

June on Glass – Box 1, Plate No.1 (Original)

The start of a new set of over 30 images of June Palmer photographed in 1960, but what makes these more exciting is that these shots are scanned from original glass photographic plates that John has acquired! John has two boxes of 16 plates that he has scanned and sent over to me for editing and publishing, which I will share here over the coming weeks.

There is a longer story behind these than shared here, but more of that when I get more time, but for now I had to share my first edit from this set 🙂 Thanks John!

June Palmer – The Elegance of Black & White

Continuing the theme of different June Palmer shots today, we have a none nude shot or dressed shot of June found on the Internet. In this shot we see June posing in a contrasting black dress and white coat, add in the white scarf and we have a very elegant young lady in a typical shot from the 1960’s. If only those around seeing this shot were to know June was more famous for not wearing her clothes, but shush we didn’t openly talk about such things back then!

Sometimes I forget what I’ve published as this shot was obviously taken at the same time as this shot of June in front of a Triumph car in 1963 – Doh!
