Christy Canyon

From trip's fine shares, a few of the more interesting ones
that are new to me:

A pic from a mag layout of the Suze Christy & Peter session
that's not in the "official" set:


It's time again for "Cropped/Not Cropped"!

A nice find:

A few low quality but, I hope, interesting scans:



- The first is a mag cover (she's not inside) with a picture from a layout that, like the army barrack set with Chuck Martin, seems very hard to find. The CC Magazine List has it as having only one appearance. I've never seen any others, save for the familiar 'Like A Virgin' video cover.

- The third is another example (the upper pic) of a shot that's been in print, but isn't in the same series offered by ol' S*ze.

- The fourth is the 'Velvet 3-D' layout splash page.

- The last is a (wraparound, apparently) paperback cover.

To bring your eyes back to normal, here's a great
quality shot I've never seen:

I like in this set how you can see the poor weather rolling in... . It looks in the last two (to my eyes) like it even rained a little . I wonder if because Christy was getting so many bookings during this period, they decided to go ahead with the session regardless?

Found this at a blog. It's by one "Gern Blanson" (rrright...), who claims to have photographed CC at the start of her career. No idea if it's legit, but you can decide for yourself. I just copy/pasted it, so spelling and all the rest is his.

Oh yeah, here's what was posted with it to show his work:



"- Photographers for the men’s magazines are always on the lookout for busty models. They sell; DD are dollar signs to photographers. Some busty models present some problems to a photographers posting ability. Some
models just have a great set of boobs and no ass or to big a tummy. We have to work out tricks to make a model of average looks and figure a few notches above what she normally looks, so saleable pictures result.

A model like Christy Canyon solves all of those problems. It was hard not to take a great picture of her. So when I heard the buzz about this great model
with the fantastic face and huge tits I headed straight to the agency with my Polaroid camera and hoped she would show. 75% of the time it’s a no show and a waste of a photographers time to sit around in an agency to catch the first glimpse of a new model and a chance to book her first.

My first impressions of Christy came from a male model who used to birddog models for World Modeling. He kept raving about this girl he met on Hollywood Blvd. in a dress shop, or was it a lingerie shop? “God you gotta see this girl I met on Hollywood Blvd. She has these huge tits; his hands go up to his chest and out a half a foot. She’s gorgeous, I’ll get her to model, just wait and see!
Male models are always on the lookout for new talent. They get a finders fee about $100.00 bucks in those days. They could also be the first to work with her if she decided to do a boy girl layout. Girls always requested a guy they knew so the first time they did a boy girls layout for a magazine it went smooth.

After a few no shows, she came in and I arrived ten minutes after she went into the modeling studio to take her Polaroids. I think I was one of the few that were in the agency that day. The owner came out of the studio
and saw me waiting and I could see he was plenty excited with his new find. Again he held his hands out in front with the usual gesture that was common when you found a stacked model.

I said I wanted to take a look and shoot some Polaroid’s. He popped his head back in the door and told Christy: Hold it a second, don’t get dressed just
yet I have photographer who would like to take a look at you and take some test shots. As I entered the studio door I could see this olive tanned 18 year old beauty. She was taking off her blouse again for me to shoot some more tests. She opened that top and I could see that they were DD’s and of a perfect size and shape just from the outline they made in the cup. She
un snapped her bra and out popped two perfect melon size boobs. I swear they make a gunk sound as they dropped out of her bra and bounced against her chest. I shot ten polaroids in a matter of minutes.

I booked her for the next day, which she cancelled out to shoot for Ron Vogel, but I got her by the end of the week and booked a big estate that belonged to a famous TV star who loved stacked women. That shoot
was a perfect day with perfect exposures and backgrounds. Some outdoor shots at the end of the day and a couple of indoor sets: one on a bed and the other on a couch.

I shot her 5 other times and some stills on movie sets. She got better at each session. She was a contemporary of Tracy Lords. They started modelingabout the same time, only Christy was of Legal age.

The guy who brought her into modeling got to pose with her in a few layouts, but once she learned the ropes of the business, she dropped him. I think she favored older men and I had once read in an interview she gave to a magazine, that she said she had moved out on her own around 18 because she felt like she did not belong when her parents divorced and re married other people and then had other children. You can really feel like you don’t fully belong.

She later started doing adult videos and posing for all the big magazines. Most girls don’t last in the still modeling and go directly into video when the
still work run dry. Christy worked a long time with the still photographers, but video pays more so eventually it gets harder and harder to book the great
models for stills as they build a video career.

I met up with her about 5 years ago in a dance club in Van Nuys, CA she was judging a strip contest. She looked great!"

I think this is real. For sure, everything he covers is common knowledge (to crazed Christy fans, anyway ), but the detail about renting the mansion and doing the 3 outdoor/indoor sessions in one day sounds like info from, at the very least, someone who worked in the biz. Quien sabe?

I love the cover copy: "..Christy Canyon Nude!!!". A pornstar?...nude?...in H**tler? Surely they lie!

Hi all,

as the list of pool pics continues to grow. I went back through what I have of the "Blue Leg Warmers" series. There are many images that are of differing quality so I have included al the unique size/quality pics. I have attempted to rename them in as close to the correct order as I could.

This one....

If you have any pics that aren't in here......POST THEM!!
