If there’s a sweeter look than a candy look, it’s a candy stripes look, and if you want to eat ALICE RICHMOND we don’t blame you, because this lovely Scots lass is real sweet. Only don’t spoil it by asking if you can have ice cream as well.

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.

Where were we?
Well, when VINCENE CRADDUCK came into the country pub we were at the bar, knocking back a pint of old ale and speaking of the mini to a couple of high-hatted knowalls who’d seen them all.
But they hadn’t seen Vincene in her mini.
We had.
There she was in front of our camera, and we still can’t remember whether her mini quite began or whether it was ever finished.
But since Vincene has the loveliest legs, you can imagine, we felt that if Vincene wasn’t bothered, then we weren’t either.
Vincene likes a glass of old ale herself in a country pub and we had a very enchanting conversation, leaving the two knowalls out of it.

When you're nineteen and life isn't weighing you heavily down with all the responsibilities you accrue as you get older, you feel like stepping out to enjoy the wonders of the world.
You've a long way to go before you get to the age where you're all creaky and feeble and need to ask kind policemen to see you across the road. You're full of health and energy and can't understand what hypochondriacs make so much fuss about.
Absolutely whizzo with health and energy is ANGIE HOLT, high - stepping her way through the park, much to the amazement and delight of ninety-year-old gentlemen sitting in fragile pre-occupation on the park benches.
'Well, heck," says one old gent, "girls weren't like that when I was a
boy.”
‘No reason why we can't make up for it now," says a second old gent. ‘‘Where are you creaking off to?" asks the first ancient.
"I'm going to ask her for a dance,” says the second.

Air hostess JULIE COLLINS has been as high up in the world as anyone else, excepting only the astronauts, and as far as ambition is concerned the only thing left that excites Julie’s imagination is being an astronaut herself. May we say she’s the girl we’d most like to go into orbit with? Or the girl we’d most like to go giddy with? Same thing.
As an air hostess Julie has been on the Britain - America run and has touched down in every part of the American continent when serving with an American airline. She has finally settled in London, which she prefers to any other - it’s currently the swingiest, it seems - and she wants to get her feet back on the ground for a while. She’s twenty-two and she’s gorgeous.

When a girl has legs as lovely as SYLVIA TERNES it’s not surprising to find that her progress down a Berlin Strasse accompanied by whistles of Teutonic admiration, and if you’ve ever heard the Berliners whistle you’d know it’s something you couldn’t miss, even with a brass band playing. Sylvia, nineteen, is rather sweet, don’t you think?

Title-winner in any legs contest you care to organise for the benefit of girls mad keen to demonstrate their eyecatching pins is, of course, LAURA MASON, one of your currently favourite glamour girls.
Laura lives in Tooting, where, naturally, the fresh guys don’t whistle but toot. Tooting is full of toots when Laura’s in view.
Laura has big brown eyes and a gay personality, and in this series, she glamorously demonstrates just how perfect are her legs. Add this one asset to all the others and you’ve got quite a girl!

These days the really glamorous gals want to be models or air hostesses. Models only move up and down the catwalks, the excitement is all in the wearing of the newest and most sensational collections.
Air hostesses get around.
One moment they’re here.
A couple of hours later they’re in Rome or Tangiers.
The capitals of the world are theirs.
And as one air hostess said to the other air hostess, “When you’ve seen one, Cleo, you’ve seen them all.”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said Cleo, “the languages are different.”
“When you’ve heard one language,” said the first air hostess, “you’ve heard them all. What are you doing on Saturday?”
“Oh, I’m going to Berlin and back in the morning,” said Cleo.
"I’m going to a football match,” said the first air hostess.
Never mind about that. FIONA JAMES wants to fly. She wants to be an air hostess. She’s just right for a smart, well-cut uniform. She’s five feet six and measures 35"-23"-36".

There just isn’t room in the boot for two long legs and a spare tyre. The tyre will have to go. A guy can always throw out any amount of spare tyres or old haversacks or empty beer cans, but he wouldn’t and couldn’t throw out BUNNY. Bunny is too beautiful. Bunny is a private secretary with an extremely high I.Q. So much so that her favourite reading matter is Egyptian archaeology. If you know anything about the pyramids you could have quite a conversation with Bunny.

We can state quite categorically that no people are more weather conscious than the British —unfortunately, we have to be and at the moment WENDY LUTON is conscious the mostest, if you’ll pardon our English. Rubber raincoat to keep off the rain and long bloomers to keep out the cold, and garters to stop her nylons falling down. Marvellous. Or is it?

They talk about four-leafed clover, emerald green and elusive leprachauns when they talk about Ireland, but what about their racehorses and their pubs? And what about their lakes?
Full of lovely blue-green water are their lakes.
And we know one with lovely blue-green eyes, MARION LAKE. And with the nicest shape as well. 36"-23"-37".
Marion decided that as she could never get on speaking terms with leprachauns and didn’t have much in common with horses, she might as well find out what life was like elsewhere. Just for a change, you know.
So, she came to England and settled on the South Coast. She lives in Brighton, that Regency-styled watering-place where they used to trundle the bathing huts down to the sea so that the ladies could step right out of the huts into the water without being goggled at. Marion thinks that was a lot of old blarney. So do we.

If you do, then please keep them in a perfect condition until you have a hundred exotic blooms. Then present them to your wife’s mother. This will convince both your wife and her mother that you have gone off your nut, and they will humour you and coddle you for the rest of your days.
If however, you don’t collect orchids and don’t know the joys of having such fragrant beauty for your very own, console yourself by cutting out these pictures of DAWN GRAYSON and pasting them in your album. Your friends will all be delighted to let you show them your album from then on.
Dawn is a Luton girl who loves gardening and landscape-painting.

Lovely Scottish lass with the cute dimples and the curvaceous outlook is MARION KYLE of Ayrshire. North of the Border it seems a fact that all the girls are not only curvaceous but traditionally bonny.
Marion is gay, bright and vivacious. She works in an office and this is her first appearance as a pin-up girl. Looking as cute as she does we hope that first is not also the last.
We couldn’t, in fact, pass those dimples by without wanting to see them again.
Cute, winsome and Welsh are sisters JENNIFER GOODMAN and GAYNOR GOODMAN. Jennifer is the beautiful brunette, Gaynor the attractive blonde, and this was the day when Jennifer heard suspicious noises in her room—where Gaynor was surreptitiously borrowing some of her sister’s black lingerie. Gaynor, hearing Jennifer haring up the stairs, hadn’t time to put the garment back and adopted the old and tried course of looking sweetly innocent. This is a look which comes easily to both blondes and brunettes. And also to redheads, for that matter.
"Pardon me,” said Jennifer, pulling hard, "but these are mine.”
"Yes, I know,” said Gaynor, “but do let me borrow them, Sis.” “Not likely,” said Jennifer, “so kindly let go.”
So Gaynor did. Suddenly like. That did it. Over they both went.
“At least,” said Jennifer, “you might have asked me first.”
“But if 1 had," said Gaynor, “you’d have said no.” “At least,” said Jennifer, “I wouldn’t have felt as ruffled as I do now.”
Both girls have common likes music, modelling and men but Jennifer just won’t share her black lingerie!
