In addition to the collection of pictures (and some movies as soon a I find them), there will be a couple of background stories told by people who met nude-model Sylvia Groess in the years of her carreer – between 1975 and 1983. Mr Keith Richard - keefriff - recommended to post this little stories not here – in the picture-section – but to create a new thread.
This is what I did.
Those of you with enough imagination to create what I would call „movies in your mind” will find „Sylvia Groess and the spirit of the 1970s” at Vintage Erotica Talk right here:

Adventure No 5 is a story about a Playboy shooting in Northern Africa. Assistant Michael remembers how he drove a 1950s Dodge military truck from Vienna to Zarzis, Tunisia - with Sylvia as his company:

The cutline under the page from "seXclusiv” again tells a phony story - as in most articles of this kind of publications. It’s about model Sylvia in this case testing how it feels to walk the streets. Doing this around the railroad station "she plans to service at least a dozen Johns in one night”. I have no idea if the magazine ever got sued by the model or if she just accepted that most of her pictures in seXclusiv presented her as either an amateur slut or as a professional whore.

Later - at the other side of the station, the cargo terminal:


Plus a calendar sheet from 1978: "On the street at night: A nude truck slut ready to join the bunk."

After Uwe D was Sylvia's partner at the shooting of "Black Mass” he
met her again one night at the house-party of a famous vineyard pub...

To my information, Sylvia persuaded her long-time girl-friend Beate to pose with her in five different shootings...
The first one was for a series of poster to advertise „Studio 24”, an epigon of legendary „Studio 54” – the New York original created a boom of discos with similar names all over the world.
The second shooting appeared to be far more sexy – at least to what Sylvia has to show. It was shot at a location in Vienna. Beate still was a little shy only presenting a little of her bust:

Some of these photos appeared as very damaged - huge scratches, water-marks and faded colors. I restored them - what also explains the variation of colors.

Look at Sylvia's face in the next one - I enlarged the picture. Isn't she the most typical "1970s model-face” as we all used to love them in those years When I say "model-face", I actually have advertising- or fashion-models in mind...




The third appearance of the two girls was the daring public appearance „A night in town” – already posted, see page 5.
The fourth - - called „Praying Mantis” – is the most saucy. The girls appear as „secret agents” and Beate appeared in total nudity for the first time. This pictorial also includes some lesbian scenes.
(Amoung all the porn-stuff Sylvia did with all those male partners, amoung all kinds of kinky and bizarre pictorials - humiliated, bond, badly treated and fucked – even including a dog as a sex-partners, there are no classic lesbian scenes to be found. It seems, Sylvia was willing to do almost everything, except HC-shootings involving her own sex.
The last of her appearances in company of Beate is more of a glamour-shooting featuring Sylvia wearing a hat and a suit, while Beate wears Sylvia’s long silver dress, seen in her very early strip-tease feature from 1976.

The client wanted to have a blond model for a big advertising shooting - rejecting model Sylvia Groess. But than the art director took the girl to a dinner with Mr. T. Three days of shooting a nude model in different bathroom stagings is what followed. You can't watch a nude girl for a long time without making use of the opportunity...

So far I knew the picture was shot at 6 o’clock in the morning in a shabby pub hall in front of a juke box - six in the morning at a rock`n´roll event in Vienna - a lot of people, a lot of drinks, a lot of dirt, a lot of sweat. The guy who shot the Polaroid said, it was the wildest party he ever been to. He saw Sylvia dancing, drinking and hanging around...
