Young secretary from Munich is MARIA STEIWER, and she's just treated herself to something for a rainy day.
A lush, smooth, shiny leather coat.
Now you'll all want one. In one like Maria’s, you won't be able to wait for a rainy day. But don't fall over yourselves, girls, queue up nice and orderly. The first one to scratch someone else's eyes out will be drummed off the pavement.

Lee Sothern - Modern Life - 1968
When glamorous Lee Sothern appeared in the first issue of Modern Life, your editors were certain they had an outstanding personality on their hands. But little did they know that Modern Life fans would acclaim her in such numbers. Consequently, to quiet the clamour for more of Lee Sothern. we hurriedly contacted her for more photographs. And so, dear reader, just for you, are more poses of the glamor girl of the month. Although Lee appears in black and white on these pages, let your imagination picture the way she would look if you saw her in person. Her outfit is rubber all rubber. Her blouse is red, a vivid brilliant red and her pants are black, jet black. The pants are skin tight and cling and mould to every curve of her body. Her blouse is comparatively loose and is constructed to allow freedom for breathing and motion. The outfit was designed for her Cat Girl role
Svelte and sophisticated, Lee Sothern, popular English television star, demonstrates the flexibility of her Cat Girl costume for Modern Life fans. No matter how she moves, the rubber outfit stretches, does not restrict her movement, and yet hug tightly to her long, glamorous legs. The blouse is also constructed in such way So that she has freedom to expand her chest as much as she desires without restriction. It is easy to predict that with what Lee has to offer, she will go a long way in TV and in the movies.
