Fiona Cooper Helen

Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jamie Cullum is young, sexy and talented. Not least of all, the man is slim, muscled and has hair! You need somone who, at 25, looks like a Dickensian Character with little or no hair, a paunch and an STD!

I googled the images of Giselle too. The ones of the fat, old man that seem to be the first half dozen are of PJS. They were married when he was locked up for sex with the 15 yr old. She must be a very understanding woman, or she has 'incentives' that placate her.

Yes, he had a place on West Street, Sowerby Bridge. It was on many floors with the ground floor being a 'front'. It was opened about the same time as Bravissimo were getting off the ground and he was aiming for the Big Busted Girl market. SB is not a big enough town to have supported such a venture and it failed. I never did any shoots in SB. I did most at our home on Aykroyd Terrace. Then I did some at his farm where he still lives and finally at his current business premises. They're on the B6114 in Elland which runs almost parrallel to Long Wall if you Google it. I think it's called 'The Old Cotton Mill'. It looks annonymous enough when you drive past. It has 'spanish grills' on the windows to prevent break ins. It's set on 3 or 4 floors. It has a buzzer door entry system so you can't just wander in.

Yes, Fiona and Chloe are completely ficticious. He thought it would be more appealing to his market if they thought a half French woman were in charge. As I said before, it's tied in to his 'lost in the '70s' mind. The girl supposedly 'Chloe' is a randomly chosen girl. Chosen for her natural schoolgirl looks above anything else. I assume there aren't pics or films of her year-on-year to see her mature. Next thing you'll see is a greatly 'matured' Chloe who looks nothing like her. At least with my pics, you could tell it was still an older, fatter me.

Most of his girls were first timers to begin with. He didn't like using 'names' as he wanted to have newbies to titillate the market. If you look carefully at my films you'll see I wasnh't very focused. When I realised how I was being exploited by a man I was led to believe loved me, I just got drunk before a shoot to get me through.

Hi Smithy

It's a small world really you know and the longer I live, the more I'm willing to believe in '6 degrees of separation'! I didn't help out at that wedding but did learn a lot at future ones. I'm actually a bloody good photographer myself and I've never really got over the magic of watching black & white prints developing.

Given that the picture you paint is singularly unappealing how would such a person acquire a STD .. or shouldn't I ask ?

[FCHelen]

Because when you're young, naive and so totally immersed in what you think is a relationship, you don't believe that the person your life revolves around is capable of being unfaithful, let alone screwing anything with a hole that might make a buck and pass something on to you.

Just to clarify Helen, I was proposing Cullum for a role as the young David Sullivan (See Andy At Handiwork's post) in case you were thinking Sutcliffe.

[FCHelen]

Oh, I see. It's just this came as a post about Philip Sutcliffe and he's about as big a turn off when you get past the smoke & mirrors as it's possible to get. I've no idea who David Sullivan is though.

[andy at handiwork]

I think any young men you may have known back then might have been aware of David Sullivan. He was the main publisher of mags at the raunchy end of the market, such as Playbirds, Whitehouse etc His speciality was making you think over and over again that you were going to purchase real porn this time. It never was. His ads were all come ons.

According to 192.com, Phil and Giselle appear to share their abode with a woman called Helen. Spooky or what?
