Leonarda Colombo – Sun Hat Stunner! (Original)

  By

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!

More Marianne by Terry (Original)

  By

           

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 🙂

Voracious Vicki! (Original)

  By

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.

Madeleine Mado – Kamera Calendar, May 1960

  By

It’s been a while since I posted a page from one of the Kamera Calendars, so he is a scan of my own copy of the 1960 Kamera Calendar. This one features a studio shot of Madeleine Mado (Maria Hale) in long blonde wig stood at a dressing table.  I’ll be adding a gallery of the 1960 calendar shortly.

I’m still missing a copy of the 1965 calendar if anyone has one they are willing to share 🙂

Kamera Calendar, May 1969

  By

The May page of the 1969 Kamera Calendar features an attractive unknown model posing in fetching yellow slacks on a chair in what might be GHM’s flat.  I don’t know who this model is, but also have a cracking original shot of her from Kevin to post shortly.  In the meantime anyone know who she is?
