Rosina Revelle (born 1940 in Warwickshire, England, United Kingdom) was a British pin up model of the 1950s, renowned for her large breasts. Her measurements were 46-26-38 at her prime.
Rosina had appeared in several local beauty contests while still in her early teens. In 1957, Rosina began posing topless for glamour photographer Russell Gay, who featured her in his magazines such as QT. Gay's pictorials which claimed Rosina had worked as a ballet dancer, a cinema usherette and a shop assistant (another magazines 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 (in some US magazines). Gay’s magazines 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.” Photographers also emphasized Rosina’s resemblance to Brigitte Bardot.
Rosina made her only known film appearance in a 8mm glamour home movie entitled “Daddy Likes Em Buxom”. However her career came to abrupt close in 1959 at age 19, when her parents discovered about her glamour career and forced her to stop modeling. 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. 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.
