We were all topless, all clad in skimpy black satin bikini bottoms and black nylons (with seams) that had tight elastic bands to keep them from falling down (so no garter belts). She was followed by a hair stylist who backcombed my limp, over-bleached hair to give it volume. After I arrived and signed in, a makeup artist applied foundation to my face and neck and then skillfully highlighted my lips and eyes. The movie was shot in a warehouse located in the San Fernando Valley. It was my memorable birthday holiday that kept the timeline firmly in my mind. ![]() I can’t pinpoint any other photo shoot as precisely as I can this set. My agent told me about the movie assignment two days later and I started work the following week. I had a memorable 23rd birthday in Las Vegas on Jand returned home to Los Angeles on July 29. I can pinpoint the date so precisely because the four-day assignment occurred in a single week, starting either Monday or Tuesday. It lasted four days, beginning on August 5 or 6, 1963. My final modelling job took place on a movie set. Like #2 above, it was never published in a 1960s magazine.īelow is Batters Blonde #3 colourized by Old iZ New. It later appeared in The Little Book of butts, published in 2013. This photo appeared in The Big Butt Book, published in 2010, where it was featured as a two-page layout. It was also published in The Little Book of Legs in 2013.īelow is Batters Blonde #2 colourized by Old iZ New. Although a great picture, it never appeared in a magazine during the 1960s when my other strawberry blonde photos were published. This photo appeared in The Big Book of Legs, published in 2008 and I received a 8 x 10 print of it from the book publisher. So this photo, which shows me beaming while the camera is recording my antics, was not published. The photo below shows that I was just having fun while moving from pose to pose. Why wasn’t it included? I think because I look sultry in the Donna Cole array - sensuous and exhausted at the same time. I found this one on the internet and immediately recognized it as part of the group that was taken at the same time as the Donna Cole photos. Numbers 2 and 3 have been colorized by Old iZ New from a high dpi images I provided to him. There may be others floating around the internet. Here are three pictures that were not published in those magazines but were definitely taken by Batters on that movie set. I have only scanned one photo from the large (and cluttered) Nylon Jungle set and so it will be a long time before that complete collection appears. Pictures from three of those magazines have now been posted to this blog. In the write-up, I mentioned that these photos were published in four magazines - Champagne, Late Show, Tip Top, and Nylon Jungle. Do not expect a book that departs significantly from his other books, but treat this one as yet another contribution to his art and you will not be disappointed.The previous post, Donna Cole by Elmer Batters, described in detail the circumstances wherein Elmer Batters photographed me with Strawberry Blonde hair. His subject is thus drawn into prominence surrounded by a wealth of other feminine features that add superbly to the superb banquet of images of the female body. Batters uses an individual style which is instantly recognisable in its use of scenes, perspectives and inventive cropping. Batters has many albums to his name, published by the accomplished Taschen publishing house, a legend in the presentation of erotic images in a way that is totally sympathetic to lovers of the erotic female body. Not a few of the images in this magnificent collection show women in the act of kissing feet. In one of the short essays included in this collection of photographs he claims to be a 'leg man' rather than a fetishist, but to a non-expert the distinction seems a little close. Elmer Batters was an erotic photographer who specialised in the appeal of the female leg and foot. ![]()
