2014.12.22 • 'Danni Ashe' in BACHELOR （バチェラー） JULY 1996 VOL.20 NO.7 • Set 1 • 12 IMG + 1 BONUS IMG (Ayleen Lapper)

I finally have restored fresh scans of Danni Ashe, my first set ever of the "90s Queen of Slim'n'Curvy" (from THE Japanese 'BACHELOR' mag)! :O

I did a second Scanner Calibration before scanning this set, so the colors are as true to the print source as possible with my current scanner (I only let the scanner apply a calibrated color profile, everything else is handled in Photoshop, so I have full control of the final quality).

I included a BONUS image too....of Ayleen Lapper, from a very HQ glossy page...personally, I believe it is one of the best-looking scans I have released, so far.

Before your eyes hopefully will enjoy the final scans, I want to show a side-by-side comparison below, so you have an idea of the Scanner Calibration Results. Even though the Untouched scan to the left (before calibration) does not actually look that bad, the colors are more flat (or more "lifeless", if you will). The Calibrated scan in the center shows more true colors (and more shadow details), but has a slightly green color-cast which has been removed in the Retouched scan to the right.

2014.12.15 • 'Lisbeth' in Teenage Sex 12, 1979 (CC) • Set 1 • 15 IMG + 7 PAGES

I decided to kick-off the non-snowy winter -- in these parts of the land, sadly :( -- with some fresh'n'cool (snowy!) HC (!!) retro scans of the snow-white-haired Lisbeth, a fruitful, NATURAL Danish teen model who was active during the late 70s (at least). Note: This is also the first B/G scans to "penetrate" this blog, so do expect a happy ending ;) (if you thought this blog was softcore only...you thought right, that is...until now which came as a surprise for me too :O). I mostly avoid scanning hardcore content, but I will make a few exceptions now and then (and Lisbeth is one exception I will gladly make!).

And what do you know, I too jumped on the X-Mas bandwagon, re-designed my scan-index-pic with a frosty touch, snow flakes and all...even (most importantly) added a boob-grabbin' snowman... :P (and so much for keepin things simple: the original index-design was much more less-is-more-ish...maybe it still is as I did not add a Merry X-Mas greeting cliché  :D :P)

...or did you have another happy ending in mind? Now you know why I dislike restoring hardcore stuff in Photoshop...it's just not that fun for me to retouch dicks at pixel-level :/ But heck, Lisbeth WAS worth it! (And I am a boob-man, afterall.)
