Thank you kindly Von, I was 21 in ‘67 and always carried a few rolls of Tri-X in ma gun belt – sort of Johnnie the Kid. ;-))

I love it! It reminds me of my mother… she was in her 20’s in the 60’s. So beautiful and glam!
John Hooton replied
I thought she was great and under rated in her own country. They preferred foreign girls!

She was tall and just right for the catwalk – clothes hung perfectly on her! :-) xx

Sharon Perrett
Gorgeous model, gee I was only 6 in 1967, wow she must have been really tall what wonderful long legs she has too
John Hooton replied
Hi Sharon, the legs were pretty long but made longer with a shift and tilt lens. I think she was a great model but the Italians seemed to prefer blondes. :-(

Stunning
John Hooton replied
Thanks Matt. Oddly Italians preferred European models and Marisa did not get much work, but I agree with you.
