Born circa [[1940]] in Warwickshire, England, the daughter of a Maltese shopkeeper, Rosina had appeared in several local beauty contests while still in her early teens. In the late fifties Rosina began posing topless for glamour photographer Russell Gay, who featured her in his magazines like QT (a play on "cutie"). What little autobiographic detail is known about her is provided by the text that accompanied Gay’s pictorials which claimed Rosina had worked as a ballet dancer, a cinema usherette and a shop assistant (she started in sales but they soon put her on display[citation), elsewhere another magazine has claimed she also worked as a stripper in Soho, performing at the Winston Club and the Nell Gwynne Club. She also used the modeling names Flo Langley and Brigitte La Rue. Gay’s magazines poetically referred to her as “the Aphrodite of this modern age…one of the more beautiful of natures products in Shakespeare’s county…what led her to London, to fame, and to the realization of that fortune with which she had been endowed at birth.” Magazines by Gay, and others, also emphasized Rosina’s resemblance to Brigitte Bardot.

While nothing is known about Rosina’s post modeling life, her pictures continued to be reprinted throughout the 1960s, 70s and 80s, influencing a diverse number of artists and musicians along the way, especially during the 1970s punk era when Vivian Westwood used a picture of Rosina on one of her Sex T-shirts, which is currently on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Andy Partridge of XTC also dedicated his demo/rarities CD release Fuzzy Warbles Volume 7 to Rosina, and several other glamour models of the period. Writing in his book Glamour Girls - The Illustrated Encyclopedia , Steve Sullivan cited her as “one of the most astonishing psychical specimens ever to bare all for a photographer”, and interest in her has continued into the internet era, on the naked world record site she currently holds their world record for “most most gravity defying natural breasts”.
