On what grounds do you attribute this to John Willie?

Just a guess because the photo is so well done.

Not convinced. To me it looks more like a later imitation of Irving Klaw's kitsch style than anything produced by John Willie, and neither was noted for colour photography.

You would know better than I. The photo doesn't remind me of anything from the Exotique and Bizarre collections.
I tend to assume that anything with Exotique logo on it was produced or supervised by Willie. (I bet you are goig to telll me that I'm wrong).

I am indeed (belatedly!). If John Willie had any involvement in Lenny Burtman's Exotique magazine, it has escaped the notice of writers documenting Willie's career (Carl McGuire, J. B. Rund) and Burtman's:
