Lulu

Pop singer Lulu as photographed by Victor Blackman; from Amateur Photographer, issue dated 17 May 1967. The Daily Express press-man's favourite 'jumping for joy' pose was employed here, but as he commented, with Lulu wearing a mini-skirt, he had to take a number of different shots in order to get one or two that were in good taste. What happened to those that were not, I wonder!
