Venetia Day covered in sand as she poses naked on a beach in Rhodes for Terry Sparks in 1971. A great shot of Venetia with her arms flung back and wearing that large bead necklace that Terry preferred and as worn by Vicki Pascale and others that posed for him. Another sunny shot and I’d have offered to rub that sand off her if needed 🙂
Marianne Morris (Vicki Pascale), Venetia Day and Dinah Challen (Linda Rome) by Terry Sparks taken on a beach in Rhodes in 1971. A fab shot of all three as they lay out naked on the sea edge enjoying the sun. I’m not sure if Dinah is looking at the camera or eyeing up one of those cold bottles of Coke, as I’m sure it was hot thirsty work laying there like that! One also assumes the single bottle of beer was for Terry?
I now have many more shots of these three taken by Terry in Rhodes, thanks to a fabulous collection of original contact sheets I’ve acquired of Terry’s work, of which there is plenty more to come!
A new solo image of Venetia Day by Terry Sparks. This time a full frontal shot of her as she poses thigh deep in the sea off Rhodes, with the sun glistening off her wet body and a hint in the shadows of her dark thick bush! A scan from one of 3 sets of contact sheets of Venetia I’ve recently acquired, so I now have plenty more to come.
It seems fitting to do a post of Venetia today as it is Black Friday (boom boom!) Not quite what they meant or very politically correct, but then I prefer my Black Friday to the madness out there!

I’ve posted several individual shots of the three models Marianne Morris, Venetia Day and Dinah Challen by Terry Sparks on Rhodes, but very few of them all together, but it’s very nice to find this article in Girl Illustrated Vol.5 No.1 (1971) with them all. They have Marianne down as Viki Pascal, which I knew she modelled as, but Dinah as Linda Rome is a new name to me. Some great shots of the three and I even posted the original image of Ventia posing arms up on her own sent over by Terry here.
It’s always nice to find stuff by Terry, even better when it’s in Girl Illustrated and thanks to Beutelwolf over on VEF for the original scan.
A front and rear view of Venetia Day posing topless on racing cars at the 1971 Earls Court Motor Show! Rather risqué at the time I would think, but she definitely drew the crowds and photographers posing in just a white bikini bottom.
