Shirley Skates
/What's In A Name
That question has been asked before, but not, as far as we know, of Texas girl SHIRLEY SKATES, born of Irish-lndian stock.
How the name became Skates we don’t know. We don’t really care. Does anyone? It’s shapes not skates that move mountains.
Look at Helen of Troy. Launched all those ships without one bottle of champagne. Shirley isn’t interested in launching ships but she's pretty keen about launching Miss Skates. Shirley has appeared in cabaret at Las Vegas and hopes to develop from there, though figuratively speaking she’s pretty well developed already.
After all, inches of 37"-22"-37" can’t be completely ignored, can they? Shirley had these photographs taken at home, and you can see one of her hobbies is music. Her ideal man is Frank Sinatra. Next to Frankie she likes progressive jazz, sports clothes (what, all those enveloping woolies and ski pants?) and Chinese food.
