Photographers for the men’s magazines are always on
the lookout for busty models. They sell; DD are dollar
signs to photographers.Aome busty models present some
problems to a photographers posting ability. Some
models just have a great set of boobs and no ass or to
big a tummy. We have to work out tricks to make a
model of average looks and figure a few notches above
what she normally looks, so saleable pictures result.
A model like Christy Canyon solves all of those
problems. It was hard not to take a great picture of
her. So when I heard the buzz about this great model
with the fantastic face and huge tits I headed
straight to the agency with my Polaroid  camera and
hoped she would show. 75% of the time it’s a no show
and a waste of a photographers time to sit around in
an agency to catch the first glimpse of a new model
and a chance to book her first.  My first impressions
of Christy came from a male model who used to birddog
models for World Modeling. He kept raving about this
girl he met on Hollywood Blvd. in a dress shop, or was
it a lingerie shop? “God you gotta see this girl I met
on Hollywood Blvd. She has these huge tits; his hands
go up to his chest and out a half a foot. She’s
gorgeous, I’ll get her to model, just wait and see!
Male models are always on the lookout for new talent.
They get a finders fee about $100.00 bucks in those
days. They could also be the first to work with her if
she decided to do a boy girl layout. Girls always
requested a guy they knew so the first time they did a
boy girls layout for a magazine it went smooth. After
a few no shows, she came in and I arrived ten minutes
after she went into the modeling studio to take her
Polaroid’s I think I was one of the few that were in
the agency that day. The owner came out of the studio
and saw me waiting and I could see he was plenty
excited with his new find. Again he held his hands out
in front with the usual gesture that was common when
you found a stacked model.

I said I wanted to take a look and shoot some
Polaroid’s. He popped his head back in the door and
told Christy: Hold it a second, don’t get dressed just
yet I have photographer who would like to take a look
at you and take some test shots. As I entered the
studio door I could see this olive tanned 18 year old
beauty. He was taking off her blouse again for me to
shoot some more tests. She opened that top and I could
see that they were DD’s and of a perfect size and
shape just from the outline they made in the cup. She
un snapped her bra and out popped two perfect melon
size boobs. I swear they make a  gunk sound as they
dropped out of her bra and bounced against her chest.
I shot ten polaroids in a matter of minutes.

I booked her for the next day, which she cancelled out
to shoot for Ron Vogel, but I got her by the end of
the week and booked a big estate that belonged to a
famous TV star who loved stacked women.  That shoot
was a perfect day with perfect exposures and
backgrounds. Some outdoor shots at the end of the day
and a couple of indoor sets: one on a bed and the
other on a couch.

I shot her 5 other times and some stills on movie
sets. She got better at each session. She was a
contemporary  of Tracy Lords. They started modeling
about the same time, only Christy was of Legal age.

The guy who brought her into modeling got to pose with
her in a few layouts, but once she learned the ropes
of the business, she dropped him. I think she favored
older me and I had once read in an interview she gave
to a magazine, that she said she had moved out on her
own  around 18 because she felt like she did not
belong when her parents divorced and re married other
people and then had other children. You can really
feel like you don’t fully belong.

She later started doing adult videos and posing for
all the big magazines. Most girls don’t last in the
still modeling and go directly into video when the
still work run dry. Christy worked a long time with
the still photographers, but video pays more so
eventually it gets harder and harder to book the great
models for stills as they build a video career.

I met up with her about 5 years ago in a dance club in
Van Nuys, CA she was judging a strip contest. She
looked great!
