Lisa Petrucci from Something Weird graciously sent me a stack of magazines, including two issues of a publication called Wolf Bait. Given that my publishing imprint shares the name, it was only natural for me to showcase them, even if I don’t typically cover the American glamour scene — there Continue Reading
Magazines
From Figure Studies for Art Students to the magazine published by Harrison Marks, such as Kamera and Solo, join us we take a trip down mammary lane. Guaranteed no sticky pages.
The Bare Truth About Harrison Marks – Part 1
In August 1968, the weekly magazine Titbits ran a three-part interview with Britain’s top glamour photographer, Harrison Marks called “The Bare Truth”. Below is part one (dated 3 August 1968). I’ve transcribed the text to make it easier to read. It is worth pointing out Harrison Marks did eventually make Continue Reading
The Bare Truth About Harrison Marks – Part 3
Below is an article from Titbits, 17 August 1968. As per usual, I’ve transcribed the text for ease of use below. It is the final instalment into the “Naked World of Harrison Marks” by Vernon Gibb. You wouldn’t get the impression from the article, but George Harrison Marks was, in fact, quite Continue Reading
Harrison Marks gives Pamela Green to the World
Here’s another article from the archive—this time from Today, February 2, 1963. Today was The New John Bull which came out every Tuesday. And “bull” is the word, for Harrison Marks and Pam were never married. It just goes to show fake news isn’t a new phenomenon. The story about Continue Reading
Ooh-La-la! Parade Special
Below is the centre page article from Parade and Blighty, Saturday 27 Feb 1960. no. 1055. It is essentially a bit of publicity for Michael Powell’s film Peeping Tom in which Pamela had a part. I’ve transcribed the text for ease of use below. Interestingly, the article says Pam was Continue Reading
Modern Sunbathing
It’s nice to see Pamela Green gracing the cover of an American magazine for once. Modern Sunbathing and Hygiene, from what I can tell, ran from the early 1950s to the late 1960s, by which time it had become Modern Sunbathing Quarterly. It claims to be the American edition of Continue Reading
Cover Girl – Cocktail #11
Pamela Green appeared at least eight times on the cover of the Swedish men’s magazine Cocktail. The A4 magazine printed on newsprint was a mixture of short stories, cartoons and pin-ups with a colour centrefold. Here’s issue eleven featuring Pamela Green “dressed” as Rita Landre. For issue 5 see my Continue Reading
Cover Girl Rita Landre – Cocktail #5
Pamela Green sporting a gipsy look as Rita Landre for the cover of the Swedish magazine Cocktail, no. 5, 1963. It’s lovely to see Pamela Green’s assets being appreciated abroad. The magazine is A4, so quite large compared to similar English magazine of the time. At twenty-eight pages including the Continue Reading
Swiss Model Studies – Vitus
Vitus is an interesting magazine from Switzerland of all places. Twenty-two pages including the cover. There is a three-page article on Physical Education, which quotes Horace Roye from his book Maids (Elstree Publications, 1947) and even talks about the Swiss Federal Constitution of all things! Eight of the pages Continue Reading
A Bit of Bush – Carneval #23
Pamela Green featured on the cover of another continental magazine — this time Carneval #23, from Sweden, published in 1966. An A4 magazine of 16 pages including the cover with a black and white interior. Not to be confused with the English magazine Carnival. Pamela, on the cover as Rita Continue Reading
