Leonarda Colombo – Sun Hat Stunner! (Original)

The final one for today and I’ve left the best to last (in my opinion), with a stunning shot of Leonarda Colombo by Terry Sparks.

After my last shot from Terry, he contacted me again with some more new shots, including this one and some more great little stories attached. Terry mentioned that the trip to Rhodes was financially quite lucrative and so the following year he took another three girls to Crete for a week in May, 1972. It was a disaster due to the fact that it rained all day and every day until the day before they were due to fly back. So they worked like crazy on that final day and managed to get a few decent shots, including the one above. The girls were Jeanette Marsden, Leonarda Colombo and Pippa Pascale and I’ll reveal more about those girls later, as I have shots of them all.

I’ve never come across Leonarda before, if that is indeed her real name, but what a stunning shot Terry managed to capture of her, her body and let’s not forget that magnificent bush on display! I may be biased here, but Terry’s work always manages to amaze me, from the way he gets the model to pose, looking so natural in doing so, to the clarity of the shots, under the circumstances 🙂 I have a growing collection of shots from Terry, which I’m proud to show off on this site and always enjoy the next set of shots that thankfully come my way and long may that continue. You also forget looking at these shots that they are over 40 years old and it’s no wonder that the likes of Russell Gay and others were more than happy to publish Terry’s work whenever they could. Saying that I’m sure there must be out-takes for shots with the models I haven’t seen, as Terry only sends through the best shots, but who wouldn’t 🙂

Thanks as always to Terry for another stunner!

Lip Smacking Marianne! (Original)

The final two shots I have of Marianne Morris posing on a beach in Rhodes taken by Terry Sparks, plus two German magazine articles featuring the Rhodes 3, again obviously taken by Terry. Marianne looks fantastic in the two original images from Terry and although I love the shot of her running her tongue over her lips, I think I prefer the second shot. I just love the pose of her laying back on the wet sand, with the reflection of her body showing in the wet ripples of the sand.  A perfectly composed shot from Terry and a great additional prop of the large necklace!

The two magazine articles show all three of the Rhodes models, Marianne Morris, Venetia Day and Dinah Challen posing in the sea and on the rocks and love the colour shot of all three of them. Dinah in those long black boots and blue panties looks fantastic and a shame I’ve n ot got any of those from Terry 🙂

Thanks as always to Terry for sharing his original images with me and still a few more Venetia Day shots to go before I run out!

Margaret’s Marvellous Mound! (Coloured)

Another of my Margaret Nolan posts expertly coloured by Oldiznewagain and a favourite from the shots of her that appeared in ‘She Walks in Beauty’ shot in 1964. The original black and white version can be seen here.

Nancy Roberts – A Sunny Outlook! (1959)

A second stunning shot of Nancy Roberts posing on a beach with only a sun hat and beach towel for shade. It comes from a photographic glass plate and was taken in September, 1959 at the beach near Sheplegh Court, Devon. What a body on view, including a peak of her uncensored bits. I’ve also realized that this set of shots of Nancy come from the Michael Winner film ‘Some Like It Cool’ (1962) and although she is never credited in the film, Nancy appears on several posters and lobby cards advertising the film. The shots in the posters seem to be at this location and in similar positions.

Nancy Roberts – Just a Sun Hat For Shade! (1959)

I try to keep the posts and images on this site relevant to the area I’m interested in around Harrison Marks, Russell Gay and their publications, but sometimes I get sent or find shots that push those boundaries. I try and find links between the models and photographers or locations, but sometimes a shot or model doesn’t fall into those categories, but is too good not to post. I also have a number of favourite 1970’s models that don’t meet the same criteria and in the past I have posted shots of them on my other blog over on ‘Daysgonebyporn‘, but keeping several sites going takes time and effort of which I’m finding I have less and less.

Therefore I’m going to push the boundaries of what I post on this site (which is by far the most popular) and if you indulge me post a few none related posts and models. The vast majority will still be related to the main topic on the site, but you can expect the odd unrelated model or image going forward, for which I make no apology 🙂 Most of the shots will still be originals and of the quality you would expect, just more variety.

A good example is the shot above. A stunning shot of Nancy Roberts posing on a beach with only a sun hat for shade. It comes from a photographic glass plate and was taken in September, 1959 at the beach near Sheplegh Court, Devon and the accompanying notes put Nancy at 20 years old in the shot. What a body and what a smile and thankfully I have several others of Nancy at the beach to share along with this 🙂

Enjoy the very enjoyable diversion and let me know what you think about expanding the scope of the site a little?

More Marianne by Terry (Original)

           

Some more shots of Marianne Morris (modelling as Vicki Pascale) who has already appeared on this site before with two other models here. Terry took Marianne and the other two models to Rhodes in the May of 1971 and took the above shots of her posing in the sea. The top shot comes direct from Terry’s collection, hence the better quality, but on my Internet trawls I also found the two page colour shots of Marianne.  At least one of the images was obviously taken by Terry in Rhodes and these images were published in a German magazine called Das Neue Sunny Girl Vol.5 No.3. I’ve also found several other images of the 3 models posing for Terry in Rhodes that appear in other German publications, so will post those separately.

Finally Terry has now sent me several of his own shots of the black girl that appears in the ‘Rhodes 3‘ shot, who was a model named Venetia Day, but more of her to come later as well 🙂

Tina Graham – The Bamboo Beach Bunny! (Original)

An original image of Tina Graham (Christine Carter) posing for Harrison Marks on a beach set I’ve seen used with other models, such as Ann Walker. Tina was the name that GHM gave Christine when she posed for Kamera, but as a model she was more well known as Christine (Chris) Carter and later as Chris Williams, as she married glamour photographer Ken Williams.

June’s Sunny Outlook

Beautiful shot of June posing nude in the sun, as she kneels on a towel with a rocky outlook as shelter from any unsuspecting passers by! I’ve seen the towel appear before, but a great shot of June as she enjoys the suns rays and you even get a slight glimpse of June’s smooth pussy!

Voracious Vicki! (Original)

As I’ve just come back from my holidays what better way to kick things off again than with a beach view from the Terry Sparks archive! This is Marianne Morris (modelling as Vicki Pascale) who has already appeared on this site before with two other models here, she is the one in the middle. Terry took Marianne and the other two models to Rhodes in the May of 1971 and this shot of her kneeling in the shallows is one of four that Terry sent through. Marianne later went on to do a spread in Mayfair and also had quite a large part in the film “Vampyres”, also as a model she worked under the model agency run by non other than June Palmer! What a great body, but not sure if that is a real necklace or a set of buoys around her neck! Thanks to Terry for a fabulous shot.

June Palmer – The Angelic Muse! (Original)

Another shot from this set of June posing on a beach down in Cornwall, but this one doesn’t give us much of a view. In view I obviously mean the scenery and not the wonderful body of June, which is on full display in this shot.

This shot reminded me of a conversation with a member this week, where he accused me of destroying his youth and the angelic image he had of June back then.  In his words he, along with many guys of his age group were completely besotted with June Palmer, but, he never really saw her as anything less than a beautiful artists model (muse) such as above.  Well apparently this site has opened his eyes to the more open and sexier side of June, where we see a little more of her later in her career. I must admit when I started the site for June the images I had seen were like those above and you can see where the angelic muse persona would come from.

I did remind him that I have never seen anything lewd from June, but I do know that throughout her career she was the ultimate professional and although the ‘Angelic’ image of her may be broken, she never gave in to the demanding pressure of more explicit imagery. The most you every get to see of June is full frontal nudity, with her posing playing with her tits etc, but nothing more. In my eyes that has only enhanced the appeal of June as one of the greatest glamour models, knowing she was human and a damn sexy one, but also knowing the appeal she had to her audience and never over stepping that mark.  All I need now is for some to shatter my image of her and prove me wrong about doing anything lewd, but I hope not!
