Manja Peruccia
/Ballet Is Her Love
If this picture gives you the impression that the first love of Austrian girl MANJA PERUCCIA is modelling underwear in the countryside, kindly jettison the impression. Manja is studying ballet in West Germany, and ballet is her one and only love right now. Ballet is art and arty is Manja.
Manja modelled these pictures for us because we told her she was a real humdinger of a pin-up girl and Manja modestly said she wasn't.
That raised a point that had to be clarified and here is Manja clarifying it in our favour.
Well, do you know any ballet students who can't be called real humdinging pin-ups when they look as good as Manja does?
“Flattery,” murmured Manja during the course of the sitting, “will get you nowhere. What is a humdinger, please?”
“A humdinger in your case is someone who has the abstract or material quality guaranteed to make someone else’s eyes pop.”
“Like pink elephants?” asked Manja.
What can you do with a photogenic ballet student who plays herself down to that extent?
