A Frosted Rear! (Original)

Another beautiful shot of Maria Frost posing on the familiar orange sofa. This time a nude rear view of Maria and her fabulous peachy arse. No idea who the good looking chap is in the photo on the drinks cabinet?

These 35mm colour slides are a bit rough around the edges, but still come up pretty good after restoration. Nothing really frosty about this shot or Maria’s rear 🙂

Maria Frost – Boots & Frilly Knickers (Original)

A beautiful shot of Maria Frost posing in grey boots and yellow panties with frills! This comes from a large set of 35mm negatives sent over by Paul from Firebird, including several sets of Maria including this one. I’ve also included the first shot from the set below, where Maria is fully dressed in a very short little yellow dress.

The set is very familiar with the orange sofa and drinks cabinet and I’ve seen several other models posing on this set. In fact looking through the sets that Paul sent over several other models are also posing on this set, so maybe all taken at the same studio or by the same photographer, unfortunately no identification of either yet!

Who’s Who on Electric Ladyland Cover (1968)

The Jimi Hendrix Album ‘Electric Ladyland’ is 50 years old this year and one of it’s controversial and banned covers back then featured a bevvy of naked beauties posing on a black background. Several years ago I got asked if I could identify any of the models and back then my knowledge was lacking, but now I’ve been asked again and on revisiting the cover I realize that I can now name several of the models and recognize several more.

Back then the cover photographer, David Montgomery, said he found the girls in The Speakeasy nightclub in London, which may be true. But I know those I’ve identified were also well known glamour models appearing in many of the magazines back then and worked for the likes of Harrison Marks and Russell Gay. I’ve numbered the models I can now identify and the list is below, plus a few I recognize and have images of but have no name.

1. Jenny Lane
2. Maria Frost
3. Nicole Yerner
4. Cindy Neal
5. Rena Brown (Reine Sutcliffe?)
6. Maya Zell
7. Ann Day?
8. Nichola Austine
9. Unknown but Familiar (Worked with GHM)  
10. Samantha Bond 
11. Helga Berk

The two blondes front left also look familiar, but can’t put a name to the lovely faces. Anyone recognize any other models?

One of the models named Reine Sutcliffe was interviewed in Melody Maker in 1968. “It makes us look like a load of old tarts. It’s rotten. Everyone looked great, but the picture made us look old and tired. We were trying to look too sexy, but it didn’t work out.”

Thanks to Les for contacting me and asking to look at it again 🙂
