I was wondering, has Michelle Marsh ever done any full frontal nude shoots? If she has, anyone got any links for some pics?

She has done two sets of fully nude pictures as far as I am aware. One set appeared in japanese porn mag "the bachelor", and are available on their pay website I think. The other set was for australian mag "people". These were posted loads of times on her official website, but kept on getting taken down by site admin for some reason. However I found them on a Lucy pinder yahoo group go to files, then download Newfolder.zip (oz people) and there is about six pictures.
Official website said she is going to be appearing in playboy but I think this is probably site administrator talking bollocks as she is not famous at all in u.s.

Thanks for the link, and for pointing me in the direction of the equally boppable Lucy Pinder! I'm a bit rusty on the recent tallent on Page 3 (I stil idolise early pics of Gail McKenna!), so I was amazed at what babes both of 'em are!
And talking of Lucy Pinder, has she done any nude shoots? Don't tell me, if she has then it's either for Jap, Aussie or Yank mags! You know, us Brits always miss out on seeing our very own Page 3 girls in the nude, that is unless it's by seconday pay pay sites and tiny web photos, that is! I really have to do a thread about this a some point.
Anyone got anymore nude pics of Michelle, especially from the bachelor mag?

Maybe someone could ask David Spenser or someone else in the magazine business why they (Page 3 girls) so rarely pop up in UK mags anymore? Admittedly, there are sets about which they've done before they got onto Page 3, but no-one seems to be doing it concurrently.
It seems ludicrous to me...far and away the best known 'household name' Page 3 girl of recent years is Jo Guest, who has done (and thankfully continues to do) a ton of top-shelf magazine work, so I don't think it can be said to be damaging to a girl's career...quite the opposite, in fact. Jo's career is still going strong, long after other girls would have retired (or been retired), and she has a die-hard fanbase too.
Sadly, she seems to be the only Page 3 girl of recent years to figure out the benefits of regular exposure in top-shelf mags. It adds a degree of naughtiness and sexuality to them which they don't have as mere Page 3 girls, and I believe it galvanises their audience as well....guys tend to prefer girls who actually deliver the goods once in a while! I think I recall reading an interview with her in which she stated her agents were dead set against her doing the regular Men's World stint, but Jo was all in favour of it because it was regular work and it paid for the rent on her place....can't argue with that logic, but that work has done more than simply pay Jo's rent...it has established her in consciousness of millions of men around the globe (hell, probably millions in the UK alone!).
I'm not sure, but possibly there are certain contractual obligations for girls appearing in The Sun...or at least the ones that have exclusive contracts with The Sun? Either that, or they're all waiting for Playboy to make them an offer...which isn't that likely, to be honest, and even if they do, they're only going to pick one girl, which leaves the others somewhat high and dry.
Anyone clued in to what the general thinking is on this at the minute?

Yeah, look at Gail McKenna (my all time fav) for one. She did nude work for Jap and US mags and now she presents UK children's TV! Although, despite my view of Gail not being degraded in the least by seeing these pics, I still didn't like the way the Japs referred to her in some issues, that she was a "Western whore", and so forth. In fact, it just makes me want to defend her even more! I wonder if she ever knew that she was going to be called these degrading names by the publishers? Well, at least Playboy had better manners than the Jap mags.
No, my opinions of any girl that does nude work aren't damaged at all. In fact, I like a girl who's got the strenght of character to do such work, as long as it's for us Brit guys, of course! That's the only thing that sticks in my throat, when our girls only strip for foreign men's mags and not our own, as if us Brit guys aren't good or mature enough to see these sorts of things. Bloody Victorian mentality in this country! *GRRR!*

For mine this page three girl died in the late eighties
as the thirdpage.co.uk(no longer exists) put is beatifully
Page three was epitomised by many but the likes of sam fox,jo guest,kirsten imrie,gail mckenna,donna ewin
Then the Raymond empire took over and it became a circus
cheers

Of course she hadn't a clue...she was only 16/17 at the time leading the high life
I've not read her biography but just the fact that she became a born again christian says that she probably wasn't all that proud of her past
Video interviews back this up
cheers

Eh? Paul Raymond has nothing to do with Page 3.....are you referring instead to Mayfair, which ran a lot of nude Page 3 pictorials prior to the PRP takeover (including most of the names you mention and a few more besides!)?
I will agree that the PRP takeover of Mayfair was not a good thing in that Mayfair lost its unique identity/style and became like a lot of other titles they publish (which in itself is no bad thing...they publish some great titles!)....however, it should be remembered that as publisher of Men's World, PRP gave us most of the Jo Guest stuff that's out there right now, so credit where credit is due!
No, I tend to think that the lack of Page 3 girls doing top-shelf work is down to either their agents, or the tabloids, or a combination of the two. As you pointed out, it hasn't stopped Gail McKenna, and as I have already explained, it certainly didn't hinder Jo Guest either. That said, I think this is very indicative of a wider trend amongst a lot of British models. Take a gander at most of the glamour model directories, and there are a ton of girls who won't work topless, let alone nude or magazine style....I think they all believe that they're going to be in FHM or Maxim or something, or 5'2" catwalk models.....
It's no wonder that the likes of Steve Colby and Kevin Maklin have studios in Prague, and Viv Thomas in Budapest. The financial incentive of these two destinations has long since past, but at least you can get the girls to do the work that is required!

My comment about paul raymond was the proliferation of magazines
It was fine to see a few classy mags with the best page 3 girls but once he tried to stretch it by issuing different mags it started the descent into mediocrity...any fool can see which sets on the net are the best
early/Mid 80's was when Page 3 was at its height IMHO
Then with more exposure through to many sets in magazines the girls lost that mystique
Then finally the internet killed the golden goose through over supply
of totty especially from Eastern Europe...even blind freddy could name 20 hungarian model names at the drop of a hat
I haven't seen the figures of the mid 80s page 3 girls until recently in the likes of the eastern european porn starlets krystal de boor,rita faltayano etc
Not quite the same as the mid eighties British talent although similarly endowed

I think I read that a lot of the bigger name page 3 girls sign contracts that stops them from doing any full frontal nude work, whether it is the papers or the agency that is to blame not sure. I dare say a lot of them would not mind topping up their salary with doing fully nude stuff but can?t. The Michelle Marsh nude Oz pics seemingly she was not very happy with them as the guy that shot them printed shots that she did not agree to be released and also it was thought some of the pics had been doctored. Lucy Pinder has not even really did a topless shoot as of yet which is pretty amazing, I heard an interview with her where she basically said that she is playing the game and will go fully topless either in June or July and then possibly fully nude some time after.
