Miscellaneous Babes

From Helmut Newton's Pirelli calendar, 1985

Susan (no last name) and Debbie Harry, 1977, shot by Swiss photographer and filmmaker, Edo Bertoglio. 

Bertoglio was a regular on the downtown NY art scene in the late 70's and early 80's. He made Downtown 81 (aka New York Beat Movie) with Maripol, starring Jean Michel Basquiat (and tons of my other favorites: James Chance, Kid Creole, Tish & Snooky, Roberta Bayley, John Lurie...the list goes on and on). It was shot in 1981, but wasn't released until 2000.

A 1970's makeup ad. I don't think they make it any more, but I seem to remember my mom having this brand around when I was a little kid.

My inclination is that this is a French new wave band called the Modernes, but I am really having a hard time verifying that.  JohnnyM let me know that this is an '80s French synthpop duo, Elli & Jacno, and that the photo is by Pierre René-Worms from 1981. Here is their MySpace page.

It says all that in the caption, and I tried to look up what I thought it might say, but it was too small to read!

Cher at the 1978 Yves St. Laurent's Opium launch party, held on a yacht in the South Street seaport, New York.

A shot from Brian Duffy's 1973 Pirelli calendar.

Bianca Jagger, Andy Warhol, and Jerry Hall at Studio 54. Not sure who the other woman is. Late 70's. I think the dude in the background may be Fred Hughes, Warhol's business manager.

Anyway, what's the deal with Bianca Jagger and Jerry Hall hanging out?

Charlotte Rampling. I'm usually not a big fan of one-shouldered dresses, but this fabric is really beautiful.

Uwe Ommer, 1984 Pirelli Calendar

The 1984 Pirelli calendar, shot by Uwe Ommer, is sexy and cool and hilarious, all at the same time.

The Pirelli calendars have been published annually since 1964 by the tire company of the same name (except for a break between 1975-83). It's a limited-supply high-art nudie calendar given as a corporate gift to important customers. Over the years, the calendars have been shot by several of the most super-major-popular fashion photographers out there, and its featured pretty much every famous model you can think of.

Over the years, the calendar has featured pretty much every famous model you can think of.

Here are some photographs from Sarah Moon's 1972 Pirelli Calendar. They are not in a particular order
