Matrons sometimes wear full slips these days. Girls either wear brief waist slips or simply wear their T-shirts extra-long. PAT GARLAND still has a full flowered slip which she likes to sport when dressed in a long evening gown and there's going to be a draught around.
Pat put it out to air in the sun the other day. As a nice gesture in the face of our camera, she put herself out with it. Wasn't that charming?
Beautiful Britons No 234 - May 1975
No one can say we haven't found less delightful girls than any other magazine. In a mood of unshakeable confidence, we declare we've found too many to count.
Lots of them have given you moments when you've thought if only you were tall, dark and handsome, with a villa in Spain and a chateau in France, you could have confronted them with nonchalance.
"I'm a rich, fascinating playboy, Esmerelda-how about coming down to Southend and looking over my ocean-going yacht sometime?"
"I'm not Esmerelda, I'm Toots, and I get sea-sick on yachts." Anyway, of all the delightful girls we've found SUSAN DOUGLAS has been ravishingly inimitable and still is. We've had so many yearning postcards about her lately that we gave in to sentiment and here is Susan to make you happy again.
Save up and buy a glider, even if not a yacht. Susan loves being up in the air.
Beautiful Britons No 156 - November 1968
For those who swear that there is no pin-up quite as elegant or quite as attractive as SUSAN DOUGLAS, here is Susan brought to you in the zingiest of modern lingerie, and we just hope you like the zingiest of modern lingerie.
We were assured it's what all the girls are wearing in the musical "Charlie Girl."
We were assured it's what makes a girl with it. It turns her from just a beautiful dream into a real kooky.
Span No 140 - April 1966
Currently way up in the top ten of pin-up favourites is Kentish charmer SUSAN DOUGLAS, so consistent in her elegant appeal that she never looks anything but delightful.
Some may come and some may go but Susan is on the list of those who appeal yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Well, let's face it. Girls like Susan would stop the traffic even in a Martian get-up.
Well, so they would, of course.
Ever see a sports shirt that looked better than this one? You can buy one in any top-class store (men's sportswear) but you won't look like this in it.
Susan has recently been modelling Spring fashions for a well-known house, and any moment she'll be lined up for the parade of summer wear. As we write, there's snow on our boots.
But the thought of Susan and summer and this view of that smile - well, who's making any fuss about snow-logged boots? Only our feet.
Well, winters with us and as the girls leave home in the mornings to catch their trains to their offices the last thing they tell Mum is to keep the fire going so that they can toast their tootsies when they get home again. That's what SUSAN DOUGLAS likes to do, it's heaven to feel one's toes tingling from the warmth. Of course, if Mum has let the fire go out one can only hope one's long winter whatsits will keep one warm until it's lit again.
Beautiful Britons No 110 - December 1964
If we laid end-to-end all the letters, we've received telling us that SUSAN DOUGLAS is your choice in the pin-up roll, they'd reach from as far back here to as far forward as there. Out-of-doors Susan makes just the picture to complement the fascination of Nature.
There is a certain something about the trees, the birds and the sky, and there is definitely a certain something about Susan.
That certain something about Susan is her ability to look enchanting what-ever her environment, and as the film star said to her publicity man, you can say that again.

Her fans keep on asking what's happened to her.
Who?
None other than SUSAN DOUGLAS.
Known to all her fans as a scintillating stunner. Susan has modelled for fashion houses, appeared on TV shows and in TV commercials, and now and again models as a pin-up girl for us.
Susan is willowy, bubbly, laughing and lovely.
She lives in Kent, drives her car up and down to town, and looks all leggy and lively in a Kentish meadow on a summer Saturday. There's a touch of deep auburn in her hair this summer.
Beautiful Britons No 188 - July 1971
Remember Sophia Loren in the film The Millionairess? How she looked in her black lingerie and wide brimmed hat? Well, SUSAN DOUGLAS may be in white instead of black, but would you say we were uncommonly biased if we said Susan looks just as good? After all, as one pink elephant said to another pink elephant, "Hello, good-looking."

Elegance and Efficiency
Combining these virtues is lovely PATRICIA GARLAND, secretary in the City of London.
Pat has just become interested in modelling and wants eventually to do TV commercials. We can think of no one more elegantly equipped for the job of convincing us we're not using the right shampoo to stop our hair falling out. Or enticing us to wash in a new kind of detergent.
Frankly, we aren't too bothered about never being alone with a certain brand, but what chance is there of being alone with Pat to persuade her we know just which box of chocolates she likes best? Isn't she a honey?
Watch out for TV advertisers being crafty enough to size up Pat as a hundred per cent prospect for selling you on every line that passes over your screens. How could you resist her without keeping your eyes shut-and with Pat in view how could you keep your eyes shut?
Beautiful Britons No 72 - October 1961
Girl who's got a whip but no horse at all is SUSAN DOUGLAS. Could some kind owner lend her a nag and a pair of photogenic jodhpurs? Susan tore her own jodhpurs? at a point-to-point.

There was a lot of humming going on. The bees were out and after the honey. There was a nice svelte bird around. SUSAN DOUGLAS. So, there were the bees and the bird and the honey. Along came a bloke on a bike, he liked honey and loved birds.
"I'll come and join you," he said, "I need somewhere to prop my bike."
Well, he wasn't a morose type, he was someone to talk to and Susan likes a chat. So, they had a nice chat and the bees had a good hum and that's how to make the world go round instead of blowing it up.
City secretary PATRICIA GARLAND, like many other secretaries, dresses with the elegance typical of the clan, and underneath the outer elegance the foundation is black for preference.
Smart and sophisticated—that's Pat But she's also a bubbler. What’s a bubbler? Well in this case it’s a girl who bubbles over with vitality and merriment. Having met her a couple of times, our opinion, in fact, is that she laughs her way through life.
