35mm Slide 1973 Viva Launch Party Avril Lund, Ted Martin & Bob Raison #1

This original 35mm slide captures a striking trio—Avril Lund, Ted Martin, and Bob Raison—mingling at what appears to be the Viva magazine launch party or a private Penthouse-affiliated event. At the center, Avril Lund—the Irish-born Penthouse Pet of the Year 1974—stuns in a deep-cut white ensemble with tied waist detail, exuding classic '70s glamour. Beside her, Ted Martin—dapper and relaxed in an open-collared shirt—shares an intimate exchange over drinks, while Bob Raison, ever the sharp dresser, looks down with a knowing expression.

Bathed in the ambient glow of a high-society evening, this moment perfectly encapsulates the sophisticated, slightly decadent energy that surrounded Bob Guccione’s world of media, nightlife, and art. A vivid artifact of 1970s celebrity culture and analog-era indulgence, this slide is a rare collectible for enthusiasts of vintage photography, fashion, and the unforgettable personalities of the Viva scene.
