"Well I realize that I've been hypnotized...
I love you gypsy eyes..."
--Jimi Hendrix "Gypsy Eyes"
British born Tracy Neve is one of those classic models
who bursts on the scene (late 80's & early 90's) blazes brightly and then rather quicky disappears from view.
Born in 1965 in Warlingham, Surrey, England, Tracy's captivating gypsy looks
and 38-24-37 figure caught the
attention of the British tabloids who began featuring her as one of
their "page 3" models. These were topless pictures of beautiful women
that had absolutely nothing to do with news stories but everything to
do with selling papers.
She moved into the field of nude modeling for
men's magazines like Penthouse and Gent - where I came across one of
her layouts in a 1988 issue, some of which are the seaside photos
featured here. (And number 22 & 23 is from
an odd little photo shoot she took with a farmer and horse-drawn oxcart! Don't know where the photographer
got this idea from).
She immediately caught my attention, but her appearances were few &
far between. She also made a handfull of videos for the British market( i.e."Page 3 Girls", "The Breast of Britian")
Unfortunately her career was brought short when she apparently developed a drinking problem.
However the last word we got was that she is now married and living in Surrey with her
husband and children.We wish her good luck, and "thanks for the memories".
I never forgot this doe-eyed beauty, and here's a small tribute
to this British bombshell, and to the memory of those many others whose careers
appeared to end much too soon.
