Vintage Adverts: Assignation in the Sun with Veruschka

1970s, Nostaw, Penthouse, Tonik, veruschka, Vintage Adverts

Veruschka, soft against timeless stone, creating a textural interaction of forms … AND TONIK IS ESCORT!

Interesting to see a saucier version (i.e nipples!) of these adverts appearing in Penthouse…

Vintage Adverts: Veruschka – The Different One

Veruschka in Florence, blonde against bronze. Today against history, substance against shadow… and Tonik is escort.

This is not helping with my deep desire to return to Italy as soon as possible.

If anyone can point me towards what photoshoot this might be a candid from, I would be exceedingly grateful!

No, I haven’t distilled some Essence of Veruschka. It’s another in the series of adverts she did for Tonik by Dormeuil. One day I hope to complete the set.

Veruschka: A re-think

1970s, menswear, sexy couples, sunday times magazine, Tonik, veruschka, Vintage Adverts

She’s starting to grow on me; I think it’s jawline empathy or something. Sexy guy; very well dressed, as well. I think there was a series of these, and I will scan more if I find them again.

Veruschka goes cheap

I must admit, I’ve never really understood the whole Veruschka ‘thing’. I mean, clearly she’s never encountered the ugly stick in her life but I find her looks to be a bit….well……blahhhhhh. I like unusual, quirky looking people and she is frequently described as ‘amazonian’ and exotic but I simply cannot understand or see this.

Anyway, I slightly changed my mind when I saw this gorgeous spread in The Telegraph Magazine (something of a Seventies boutique bible at times) from 1972. Touted as “The price of looking like Veruschka is less than you think” and showing her in inexpensive British Boutique clothes, she actually looks quite cute for once…..and I really love the background of Woburn Abbey.

The front cover in a Jeff Banks smock is my joint favourite with the window shot of her in Bus Stop cheesecloth. But they’re all pretty fabulous……enjoy!!
