You know you have made the big time when

[Jim Sammons LJKF]

You know you have made the big time when you make it into Playboy magazine.
OK it is the back cover of Playboy in Venezuela but still pretty cool.


I can't read Spanish so I guess I will just have to look at the pictures.

Congrats!!!

A few years back I got in German Playboy when a made some "props" out of steel for the German playmate of the year. Kind of a minimal "Joan of Ark "thing. It's kind of funny because it's cool but it's not something you can show everyone. I.E. I'd post some pics but probably get banned.

I'll say one thing for those people. There was a lot of "fitting" in my studio so I spent a lot of time with the girl and staff. Contrary to popular belief the girl was no bimbo, and everyone was very professional, and in the end when it came to payment they were actually generous and gave me a bonus. Top notch organization and I'd work with them again.

Congrats again Jim. I always love seeing you do well because it's obvious your such a great guy

Jim D., please fix the typo in your story. You wrote "PlayBOY" when it should have been "PlayBOYtoy".


Such a minor mistake..........those new keyboards.....

Of coarse the guy behind "Dim Jay" is jealous isn't it obvious) that's why he hates my guts. ... Ha Ha Ha

As to the job it was more like fancy pasties and a steel G string.

It was actually pretty comical. The whole thing had no attachment points or straps on the front so there was this flat part kind of a flor de lis shape that fitted into the small of her back tight to hold the whole thing in place. In order to work though it had to be two piece with a push together sleeve based locking mechanism under her crotch.

Imagine a two part rigid locking steel thong.

It was really pretty simple. You'd slide the back section into the front with it rotated slightly at an angle, then twist it to the center maybe five degrees and it would lock in place, but none of the assistants could figure out how to do it. So they made me do it.

So I have to do it, and there I am under this girls ass, German playmate of the year, she's got nothing on except shes holding the front half in place and I'm sliding the back part into it's sleave and she looks down and smiles and in the German accent says: "Is it in yet"

I'm like "Oh you'll know when it's in because it'll click" totally deadpan like talking about a carburetor. She starts Giggling, and then everyone there burst out laughing.

I kid you not.... I've built some interesting things but that was a fun job

I suppose I could find this stuff online somewhere but I just pulled out the issue she sent me.

Her name appears to be Daniella Jambrek, she's German playmate of the year 1994. The photographer was Herb Ritts (that's why I got the job) and the photo is on page 25.

There's a not in it but I can't read it as it's in German.

Actually the photo they used could be posted here as it covers up all the good parts. Looking it over she was a lot cuter in person then in the pics they used.

[Fiskadoro]

Holy crap!!! It's online. I had no idea!!!

So this is the issue:



...and here's the piece I made that's in it.



OK so now I have a small disclaimer. I originally designed and made that piece for Helana Christianson a fashion model for shoot she was doing with Herb Ritz. It also had a set of matching steel highheels I designed as well. Unfortunately though the heels looked great on her the pics with the bodice didn't come out well so Herb commissioned me to remake the thing for the German girl.

Jim Thanks for this thread!!! I didn't men to thread jack but thanks to you I just found a whole series of photos of work I'd pretty much forgotten about online.
