How To Keep Our Friends

How To Keep Our Friends

That's if we've got any friends. Some reader wrote us the most unfriendly letter, so we're not sure if anybody loves us at the moment. Still, there was one awfully decent bloke who wrote us about ANNE DUKE and said what a divine creature she was and that he'd love us for ever if we'd only feature her more and more and more. Naturally, if we've got one friend, we'd like to keep him. Anne was very cordial about it all and said she’s tickled to death to be photographed again. No, no, we said, the pleasure will be all ours. After all, let's face it. Anyone on the viewing end of the camera and getting those long, lovely legs in focus can hardly be said to be suffering. You know Anne is a Welsh beauty queen, of course? If you don't, that means you only look at the pictures and don't read the print. Try and persevere. The print isn't as scintillating as the pictures, but it's more educational.

Letter of the Month

Please can we have a little more variety? I don't mean I want to see photographs of shrimp boats or cattle markets, I mean I want you to range far and wide and bring us glamorous pictures of glamorous beauties from everywhere. When do you ever feature Chinese girls? Never. When have you ever featured Indian girls? Never. Have you ever found us a beautiful young thing from Indonesia? No. The Indonesian girls are particularly lovely. I should know. I've been there. Have you been there? You can't have or you'd know what we're missing. I don't think you try hard enough. I think you just sit around and take what comes. I think you're going off, in fact. I can see all the mini-skirted London dollies I like, I live there, and so do thousands of other readers. Shake yourself, please. You can do it. You've only got to start working.

D. B. FRANCIS - Kennington, S.E.11.

What about Mongolian dollies? Just say the word and we'll flip off there and probably never come back. So there.

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.

Jenny Piece

Smitten By A Sec

Fred was just holding a horse while Joe went to fetch a saddle when JENNY PIECE of Worcester came through the gate. Fred felt as if he'd been struck by lightning, and if he hadn't been holding onto the horse he'd have fallen down.

Jenny, a secretary, was wearing polished boots, brief mini and a devastatingly floppy hat. She asked Fred if he had a spare horse around.

"Believe me," said Fred hoarsely, "you only need to ask, and you can have the whole string.” "What are you all flushed about?" asked Jenny, looking traumatically bewitching under her hat. "It's not hot, is it?"

"Don't let's talk about me,' said Fred faintly, "let's find you a spare horse and then we can have a long chat about your phone number. Of course, if you're going riding, I'll come with you, I'll just fade away if I don't."

"No, I'm not going riding," said Jenny, "I just happen to have a lump of sugar and if you've got a spare horse that's not doing anything can i feed him.' So, she did, but the place has never been the same for Fred since she left.

Britt Hampshire

Up From The Country

Born in Hampshire, BRITT HAMPSHIRE is well-named. Britt came up from the country last year and has been happily earning a living a as a model in the big merry-go-round of London.

Country girls have lovely complexions. Britt looks like a dairymaid fresh from helping the farmer gather his corn. That doesn't mean her conversation is restricted to agriculture or how to spray fruit trees. She can converse on the most abstract subjects, reducing the listener to a mesmerised admiration of her voice and her blue eyes.

In view of man's infatuated helplessness in the presence of beauty, it's easy to understand why Helen of Troy launched a thousand ships.

Sara Stuart

Eye-Catching Deb

Coming out with the rest of this year's high society girls might have made SARA STUART a little remote from us. But Sara is essentially a friendly girl, enchanted by all that keeps a philosopher down on the ground and a sputnik up in the air. Life is the keynote of Sara's interest in each day as it arrives, she loves the Beatles and is mad about Sir Malcolm Sargent. Also, she's one of the most eye-catching gals in the place.

Back Again

Always welcome is glamour girl MARION HOLMES, secretary to a production manager and established favourite with all readers.

From 9.30 a.m. to 5.30 p.m., Mondays to Fridays, Marion is hard-working and efficient--she does it for the lolly, of course--and the rest of the time she's creatively glamorous.

What's creatively glamorous, Dad?

That means, my boy, that when she enters a crowded room all the susceptible males create pure chaos in their endeavours to get closer to her glamour.

Where are you going, Dad?

I'm a susceptible male myself, Junior, but don't tell your mother.

Sylvia Ternes

Shorter Than Short

It's no hardship to us to admit that skirts are now shorter than short, it's when a girl like SYLVIA TERNES gets caught out making running repairs in rural West Berlin that a shorter than short garment kind of catches up with one. We don't mind. Sylvia has just the legs for this kind of fashion.

Jane Berry

Best Of The Berry’s

WELL, this is the season for berries. Gooseberries, blueberries and so on. But the best of them is JANE BERRY or so we think for Jane has that extra something over a mere berry plucked from a bush. Jane, for instance has, a perfect shape, and gooseberries are inclined to be all shapes and sizes.

Jane is nineteen, is a trained theatrical and ballet dancer and was born in Cornwall.

She is also a water-skier and a great showjumper, and when such versatility is added to sweet beauty, what more can you want?

Carol Smart

Come to a Gymslip

No one really likes having to grow up, and certainly no one wants to grow old, feeling the encroachment of age, stiffening joints and dulled senses, fading beauty. Someone who certainly doesn't need to worry about that is Carol Smart, a girl who just loves feeling young at heart. Her schoolgirl uniform may not fit very well anymore, but it's a first-class way of showing her still-young charms and much more. Lying in the grass on long summer afternoons without anything to worry about in the world, perhaps she reminisces and remembers her schooldays, young and innocent, discovering her way through life Carol likes funfairs, cream buns, country walks and candy floss, visits to the zoo except in London Zoo you're not allowed to feed the animals anymore. Isn't that unfair?"

It doesn't matter if people don't approve, she likes to feel young, and act young, doesn't see why she should have to go through the mannerisms of being mature, when half the time it's all a pretence people use when they're trying to look sophisticated and impress people. Why indeed? For our part, we're more than happy for Carol to laze around in her schoolgirl clothes as long as she likes. Provided she doesn't mind us looking on and sometimes giving a faint, wistful, reminiscent sigh.

Bronzed Blonde

Speaking about the Mediterranean, here's an enchanting blonde who got beautifully bronzed on the Italian Riviera. Her name is JAN NEWMAN. She's back at her office desk now and looking as if she's only just stepped off a hot beach.

Maria Assin

Come On out

There's not much you can do on a lovely summer day except go to the races, take a punt and a picnic up the river, fly off to Italy, chase nursemaids through the park, pick flowers for a lovely lady or just settle for a siesta in the sun.

Or give a helping hand to MARIA ASSIN as she alights from her car and then offer to show her what you're currently growing in your greenhouse.

Jeannette Fry

Jeannette Fry

"Cor Blimey!" said Fred, who sweeps the floors. "Gosh! Wow!" cried William, the tea boy. "Good Lord!" muttered the inspector of taxes as he passed through the office. "You'll have to offer more than that if you want her phone number," our photographer sneered at a crowd outside waving £10 notes. Who, you ask, could inspire such a lot of exclamations? The answer is amazing, stunning, heart-melting, overwhelming. The answer is Jeannette Fry

At not much more than five feet high, she may be small in that respect. (We only just stopped ourselves from saying, small Fry ...) In other respects, you'll find she's not small at all. Which respects in particular? We suggest you use your imagination or try looking at our sensational pictures of Jeannette. That way, you really don't need too much imagination.

Jeannette says she's a genuine sort of person. She's not the kind who's always covering up, for a start. Come clean, is her motto. So that the world can see "the real me", as she puts it. That's the sort of motto we can understand. It's certainly better than the sort you get out of Christmas crackers.

Imagine Jeannette dropping out of a Christmas cracker, into your lap. Now, there's an idea. Although, it does have its disadvantages. For a start, it might happen that she'd drop into not your lap, but the lap of the person who you were pulling the cracker with. That would be unbearable. And, of course, you'd have to wait for Christmas, in any case.

We think Christmas is a bit too far away. So, we're showing you adorable Jeannette right here and now, no waiting. To judge from the comments of people in the office, seeing Jeannette is the sort of experience that anyone can appreciate-all the year round.
