Scots’ girl who is right in the swing of it when it comes to being a cute Miss Mod is BRENDA NORTH. Brenda is mad about the Beatles and other groups, is as colourful as a Picasso painting and has long and lovely legs.

There's no doubt about it, said Big Garth to Little Garth, when the sun is flaming hot, you feel more like fun than you do when it's flaming freezing. You're so right, spoke up MELANIE COOPER before Little Garth could get word in, the sun just makes you feel terribly gay.
Little Garth then said there was nothing terrible about it, so Big Garth hit him over his bonce with a large fist, and with hardly another sound Little Garth was driven deep into the soft sand dune.
Oh, that was funny, said Melanie, where did Little Garth go to?
Up spoke the almost muffled voice of Little Garth. I say, it isn't half dark down here.

And for those of you who need a translation, the sad meaning of the above is that Scottish sweetie, EMMA GETGOOD, is no longer with us.
Emma departed for Canadian shores a few months ago, leaving us with the feeling that there's something missing that matters.
And if we feel that way it's a cert that they're not exactly in the mood for the highland fling in Scotland. Well, no Scot who values a glamour girl like Emma as much as he values his oats can be expected to play anything but a lament on his bagpipes.

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?
Housewife DOROTHY BENDALL is Dot to all her friends. Dot is happy, lively and fun, but all the dash around the house comes from her daughter KAY. She's helter-skelter youth while Dot is jolly Mum.
They're more like sisters, actually. They go to dances together and run for a bus together. They live in Hampshire and make every day full of fun and giggles.
It's serious, said the man invisible from the neck upwards, I've just lost my head. It happened in a trice. I saw ANNE DUKE and lost it as soon as my eyes fastened on her.
Never mind, with a head like you had you're better off without it.
Don't be unkind to him, said Anne, after all, it's rather flattering, a girl likes to feel she's noticed as much as that.

As you all know, the minikilt is a Scottish-styled miniskirt with a tartan pattern and a whacking great safety pin. What you don't know is how delicious Scottish secretary FIONA McKAY looks in her little kilt, so here you are, you can now find out. Fiona is intrinsically bonny, which means she doesn't half make a dishy open-air picture, and with vitalistics of 37-23-36 she couldn't miss. Any enquiries about the lovely effect of porridge on the figure should be addressed to the Scottish Department of Physical Culture.

Quite different from the look which will keep you in the acceptable trouser suit category, is the very acceptable lilting look of the Welsh charmer we found in Flintshire.
Her name is GLORIA WORTH.
All the Welsh girls have a lilting effect. It's the way they speak. Fascinating.
Gloria has been trained in ballet and modelling and how to captivate taxi-drivers without really trying. You know how taxis can pass you by when it's raining. They all stop for Gloria in sunshine or rain.
"Where to, gorgeous?"
"Station, please."
"That'll cost you three bob."
"Will you take stamps?"
"Oh, I've got a right one here. Only stop looking at me or I'll take jam jars as well."

Nothing really. Everything is merely an improvement on the old. Irrelevantly, we'd like to mention that
LINDA WHITE is the most photogenic hair stylist we know.

When the good old Windmill closed its doors and its nonstop revue disappeared into the pages of exotic history, one of its youngest girls decided she wasn't going to queue up at the agencies to find similar work.
Not a bit of it. JILL MILLWARD decided on a complete change of occupation. Know what she is now? A children's nurse. Gad, those lucky children. Wonder if they realise how good life is to them?

Susanne Kent’s set from Span No 144 was most certainly shot on the intake to Mugdock Reservoir.
The set was taken in 1966, with the final picture showing the location much as it is now. The trees have grown a lot over the years, but it is quite obviously the same place.
Thanks goes to David for researching this.
The Kent sisters, Susanne and Madeline, did a photo shoot here in 1965. These pictures, though, never appeared in a magazine, as far as I am aware. Louise Crawford was also a regular visitor at the tennis club. The final picture of this set shows the clubhouse as it is now; still the original building with its distinctive double pitch roof. It is reasonably well overlooked, but I suppose you would have had to look quite hard to notice from a distance that the girls had shorts on with their stockings and suspenders on show.
Thanks again to David for his research.
Once a girl has been a nurse, she always retains some compassion for suffering humanity, so CAROLE-ANNE BLAKE is just the girl to hold your hand when you've got toothache. Carole-Anne used to be a dental nurse; you see.
She comes from the North of England and is now modelling in London. She keeps quiet about her dental nursing qualifications because she found that any new friend who got to know about her former job wanted her to look at his teeth. "You can see one molar too many when you're dining out," she said.

All those majestic maples and all those gorgeous outdoor gals you can't wonder we all want to emigrate from the U.K. Look at LISA LINNETTE from Vancouver, for instance. Hold on, Bert, don't go without your hat - in fact, don't go at all-Lisa's paying a visit to Europe this year.

JAN KERRIE came to London from Ireland some months ago, thought she'd stay a few weeks to see how unspeakable the English were and then return.
That was six months ago.
Jan is still with us. It's a divil of a blow to the I.R.A., so it is.
