Colourized B&W Photos

Several of Veronika’s sets were only ever released in B&W (for artistic reasons I can only assume). Several years ago I remember seeing a colourized version of one of these B&W pics posted on the web which I had added to the comments section of Set 368.

A few months ago I managed to track down the source to The Vintage Erotica Forum, so decided to request the “colourization” of 3 additional B&W photos of Veronika which I have attached. I have to say that my dealings with the guy doing the work was rather unpleasant … he came across as very arrogant … in the end I am happy with the results below but I doubt we will ever get anymore out of him . Am hoping someone else is an expert in colourization and wants to take a crack at some other photos!!!

  1. Hi T-man,
    First of all I must tell you (with great shame) that I only discovered (rather found out) Veronika last week so I can’t be considered as a life long fan of hers. Yes I’m not worthy. The first video I saw was titled ‘on the stairs’ and immediately as it began I had to reset of how my brain imagined a ‘GODDESS’. Since then I think I saw every picture of Veronika and video with her in it (and as a result found your blog). I’m not surprised that you’re so dedicated in creating it. I read some of your posts 1 of which had a copy of an Aussie magazine with THE GODDESS on the cover (I’m from Australia myself so it made me proud). Could you tell me what year was that video made please?

    Waiting to hear from you

    PS. Perfect site for a ‘Perfect Woman’

    Regards

    Marc

    1. Hi Marc …

      First of all welcome to the GODDESS club … Yes myself saw Veronika for the first time in 1998 and have been hooked ever since … hard to believe that was 17 years ago already 🙂 And thanks for the kind words about my site …

      Now to answer your question. ..

      The video and accompanying photo shoot were from May 2002 in Los Angeles. You can see a preview of the photo shoot here: Set 116.

      Any other questions don’t hesitate to ask.

      Cheers

  2. Hi again,
    Thanks for a quick reply. To be honest it’s 2.11pm here (I’m in Poland 15km from Czech border!) and I haven’t been to sleep since yesterday checking out you know who. You’re up so early replying so I’m not the only 1 thinking about the subject. As a matter of fact I do have a couple of questions, namely;
    On 1 of the sites they have a collection of videos with Veronika Zamenova in the title in which there is without a doubt The Goddess herself but I noticed a couple that I’m not sure about. 1’s called ‘Veronika Zamenova hard core’ where for most of the movie you can’t see her face and when you do it’s not clear. The other 1 is called ‘Kitchen sex’. Are you aware of those?
    Marc

    1. Hi Marc …

      yes I have seen those “so-called” hardcore videos of Veronika … I can tell you that neither of these are Veronika … the one video features Crissy Moran and the other in the kitchen I don’t know the name of the model (really don’t follow anyone other than Veronika). Veronika never engaged in any hardcore videos … the “hardest” thing she did was a HJ video early in her career … you can see the preview here.

      Cheers

      1. Hi T-man,
        Somehow I was hoping to get that sort of answer from you re. those 2 movies. As soon as I watched the first couple of videos with Veronika I noticed (but had doubts) that she is not your usual (soft) pornstar. When asked about whether she has female partners in her private life she answered ‘no’. This is easy to notice in her lesbian roles where she doesn’t really try to convince she loves doing it but despite this those scenes still seem to be pleasant to watch due to her gorgeous looks and matching, GENUINE personality that’s bursting towards the viewer. I’m not talking about the lack of skill on her behalf but that she’s prevented herself to go to too far on stage. I mean it in a good way. It shows that the girl has conscience/morals which don’t realy exist in that profession. Those real and so sexy smiles usually towards the end of each clip are proof that her solo roles were what she enjoyed the most as there’s no need there to pretend to be enjoying doing something to a stranger. You can’t help but love her.
        What do you think?
        Also could you tell me whether she still communicates with her fans? If so what websites.
        I’ve checked facebook ‘Veronika Zemanova Community’ but her last entry was on 31 Dec 2014 and on Twitter (although I don’t have an account with them) 24 July 2014. Correct me if I’m wrong.

        PS. For your dedication in creating this website in Veronika’s honor you deserve not just to be thanked by the Goddess herself but taken by her to dinner.

        PPS. If your ‘t’ stands for what I think it does shouldn’t it be a capital ‘T’?

        waiting for your reply

        Marc

        1. Hi Marc …

          yes you are correct in your observation about Veronika’s “look” behind the camera … I think that you can tell from her photos that she genuinely liked to model. That is part of her everlasting appeal I believe … she was not just another one of the faceless / robotic models you see so much of nowadays ( not that I am looking 😉 ). It is Veronika’s personality which shines through in her photos … drawing us in. I am certainly happy that she never took the dive and did any real hardcore stuff … that would have removed the mystique which for me is Veronika.

          But in the end, the Veronika we see all the photos of is Veronika “The Model” … not to be confused with Veronika “the real person” …. modeling was her “business” and we should never lose sight of that. To be honest her only contact with her fans when her website was still running was via her blog and then it was very scarce … she really did try to maintain her privacy as best she could. Her website closed very abruptly one day in Aug. 2009 and that was the last we ever heard from her. She maintains ZERO contact with her fans anymore. She is married and a mother of twin girls and has done everything she can to distance herself from “Veronika the Model”. Any Facebook / Twitter accounts out there are ALL FAKE I am sorry to inform you. I don’t believe for a second that she has even seen this website / blog. Would be nice to think she had but that does not bother me … I keep the site up and running to provide a place to come see and honour one of the most beautiful women to have ever graced this planet … just like we still flock to the Louvre to see the Mona Lisa after 500 years haha

          PS … would love to have dinner with her as you say … but alas I doubt that will ever happen … will settle for coffee and cake though at least 😉

          Cheers

          1. Hi t-man,

            so disapointed to hear that she’s cut herself off from her fans but on the other hand she may want to distance herself from it all especially after becoming a mother and possible due to (understandable) pressure from her husband.

            You saying that ‘Veronika Zemanova Community’ on facebook and the account on Twitter are definitely fake but as you probably know by clicking on links at her supposed account at Twitter and some websites you get redirected to girlie sites. Since ‘Veronika Zamenova’ isn’t just her real name but also a trade mark of hers it could not be happening (at least legally) without her consent and most likely she’d be receiving payments for the permission. I’m not talking about google search results but links on websites using her name/trade mark.
            Re. your site be assured that despite cutting herself off from her fans she’s still a female with all their characteristics 1 being strong curiosity therefore there’s NO WAY IN THE WORLD that she’d overcome the temptation to have at least an occasional peak at stuff to do with her person. After all and as we both agreed ‘it’s not like she took the dive and did any real hardcore stuff’ – to be totally ashamed of. I just visited a German site lb shuttle and discovered that so many fans of her (you and I included) see her as a good and genuine person.

            A couple of questions;
            Is she with the same german guy she married in 2003?
            Does she still spend time in Cape Town?
            How did you/others come across the post 2010 photos (I don’t mean the ones from the real estate catalogue) since she doesn’t publish anymore?

            And now to Veronika, if you ever see this site (or have so already), t-man deserves a dinner with you.

            cheers

            Marc

          2. Hi Marc …

            To answer some of your questions:

            • In regards to her web presence … I can 100% guarantee you that any “public” sites with her name are NOT sponsored / endorsed / supported by Veronika herself. That “community site even spells her first name with a “c” instead of a “k” 😉 . As for the rights to the trademark … she did DISSOLVE her “Veronika Zemanova Ltd” company back at the same time she shut her site … see records here : Veronika Zemanova Ltd. records. This again reinforces the fact that when she shut her site that she was “closed for business” completely.
            • Yes she is still married to the same German guy.
            • I doubt that she spends much time in Cape Town anymore … they just recently finally were able to sell their property there …. see Enigma Mansion. I also just discovered that their property in Ibiza is also now for sale where I know that she had been spending the majority of her time … who knows where they will end up … they appear to have many properties around the world.
            • As for the post 2010 photos … some were sent to me directly from the folks who took them … guess they were lucky enough to meet her at some restaurant. Other photos I merely came across in my web searches. Of course will post photos of dinner with Veronika should that ever happen haha

            Cheers

  3. Hey t-man, thanks for the colourised pics; my sympathies having to deal with the Texan Tosser! I had a similar programme a while back; went with the crashed desktop. Must be an updated app out there.

    Chin up, my friend!

  4. Hi t-man,

    thanks for your update? Did you read (I don’t think there is anythink you would have missed) an article about Veronika published by Think? It says that it was published in 2009 but by the sounds of it it seems that it was early 2000’s.

    Marc

    1. Hi Marc …

      yes you are correct … that Think interview was from early in 2002.

      there was one clue in regards to the timing …. in the interview it says “She has recently launched a new site Czechbeauty.com” …. that site opened Nov. 2001.

      Cheers

      1. Hey t-man,

        the reporter says it took place on Sunday in March and that she got firm offers from Playboy. When did she first appear in Playboy?
        Marc

        1. Hi Marc …

          technically her first appearance in Playboy was back in Dec. 1998 … this was just a single picture not part of any Playboy sponsored photo shoot. You can see the cover and picture here:

          Veronika’s first appearance in Playboy

          This photo was shot by photographer Andy Pearlman back in the spring of 1998.

          Her first “official” Playboy photo shoot took place in New York City in the spring of 2001 … if you check the “2001 Timeline” and look for photographer Gen Nishino you will find a total of 9 photo sets taken for her first Playboy appearance. The first issue of Playboy to then feature photos from this set was published in Sept. 2001 entitled “Voluptuous Vixens”.

          Veronika went on to pose for Playboy 1 additional time in 2003, however that was only 1 set (at least as far as what was ever released).

          She technically was never a “Playboy Centerfold” … she never wanted to see herself designated as such since along with that came certain commitments she was not willing to pursue at that time in her modeling career.

          Cheers

  5. Hi again,

    You wrote that “that Think interview was from early in 2002” but I think it’s from 2001 because

    the interviewer writes;

    “Recently Playboy has expressed serious interest in her and she’ll be posing for the lingerie edition with a shot at becoming a Playmate, which, in her business, is something of a pinnacle.” Also the guy running the other site quotes it as March 2000.

    and you;
