Toni Townsend

Gilding The Gingerbread

Advertising assistant TONI TOWNSEND is, of course, the girl we’d most like to get immersed in a marketing survey on a desert island with. If that sounds all mixed-up and disjointed, put it down to our natural aptitude for getting a buzz in our ears when confronted by an absolutely corking mini-dress. Toni is twenty-two, she designs and makes all her own clothes. We can’t help it, we still get the buzz. In fact, if she designs even lovelier outfits the buzz will turn into a roaring noise. A roaring noise is something that makes you fall off the top of a tall building. Your only hope is to bounce like a bad cheque and land in the lap of a ravishing advertising assistant.

Toni, by the way, is a Bournemouth girl, so if you're fond of the seaside trot down there on a summer’s day and you might find Toni in a bikini of her own design. We strictly feel that Toni is fundamentally eye-catching in any outfit. In outfits which bear the mark of her own inspiration she is gilding the gingerbread. Gilded gingerbread is too good to be true, but not in this case.

Jennie Price

What Lovely Lines

We’re so confused by JENNIE PRICE, whose enchantment flows lyrically over us, that we can’t follow the lines of her car. Jennie, who has just about the nicest legs in Wales, can confuse the most clear-minded car fanatic.

Hazel Shaw

Bubbly

For a blonde as bubbly as HAZEL SHAW what’s more appropriate than a bubble bath? Only don’t miss your footing and fall in like this - it’s easier on the joints to lower yourself gently and gracefully, and you don’t make any splash.
Frankly (says Hazel) that hurt, so pardon my yell of surprise. A bubble bath is just right to tone a girl up and certainly if it makes you look as sweet as Hazel, then stand not upon the order of the bath but dive in tonight as soon as you get home. But take your hat off first.

Susan Smith

Speaking of Rainwear

Relevant to the fashion of rubberised rainwear, here's SUSAN SMITH looking very mod in her own mac. You can't look better than Susan does in her style, but if you can, then you can count yourself in the category of the ultra-mods.

Ruth Cavendish

What’s So Funny?

There's something tickling RUTH CAVENDISH, but we're not sure if it's a feather or because the photographer is being bitten by a frisky pup. Perhaps it doesn't matter when the effect on Ruth is to make her as gay as this, for the look of this lovely lady is what we're most concerned with.

Ruth is eighteen and won the title of “Miss Arbroath” when she was only fourteen.

Annette French

Annette

All attractive are the bonny girls of Scotland, but none more so than ANNETTE FRENCH, tops among the favourite pin-ups North of the Border. Annette is just about the prettiest brunette who ever rode a scooter down Sauchiehall Street, for she certainly got the loudest whistles.

What to wear? It doesn’t matter—Annette looks lovely in anything.

Anne Scott

An Established Fact

The fight’s over. All kinds of people took part,including those who insisted Long John’s had no place in modern fashions and should never have been left over from the 20’s but used for car dusters.

Then there were the others, who said no girl is complete in her fashion equipment unless Long Johns were an essential part of if, and we thought by crickey, what about the look, though?

Then, of course, there were the girls themselves, and ANNE SCOTT was one of them. And these girls and Anne went along with the re-adoption of Long Johns, because, they said, what with mini-skirts and all, we need something to keep us warm.

On that alone, it seems, Long Johns became an established fact.

Marion Alexander

How To Be Married Without

Without what?

Without MARION ALEXANDER. Well, she’s only got one husband and she’s rather fond of him, they live in south-east London, and she makes a lovely cup of tea and cooks delicious dinners.

I daresay she does (said Henry Hopkins), but I couldn't live if I couldn’t marry her myself. She’s my idea of how to live in superlative domestic bliss, and I haven't even met her yet.

But when we asked Marion about Henry Hopkins she said she was very sorry and all that, but all she could give him was an aspirin. She said as an extra her husband would give him a thick ear.

Henry said there was nothing for it but to shoot himself. But we haven’t heard any bang yet.

Susan Douglas

Your Kind of Girl

Unanimously established as the kind of girl you’d most like to take out for dinner with no expense spared, as long as she doesn’t ask for oysters at four quid a dozen, is of course SUSAN DOUGLAS. Always elegant, always eye-catching always your dream girl.

We feel the same way about her.
