Margaret Yeadon

Haircut, Sir?

If it looks like MARGARET YEADON is fond of the bottle, it's quite misleading. They were studio bottles. Margaret was just posing for the photographer and as he's a bottle man he thought what a background and a foreground, just the flaming ticket, darling.

Margaret is twenty-two, she lives in Leeds, and she has her own men's hairdressing salon. She likes looking after men's styles, and the styles being so way out these days, Margaret can exercise ingenuity, skill and inventiveness. Actually, a haircut isn't on. If you have one you're dead old-fashioned. You have it styled.

And when Margaret isn't styling heads of handsome masculine hair, she's lapping up the excitement at Hot Rod Car meetings.

Oh, On The Bottle, Are We?

Oh, On The Bottle, Are We?

"How dare you?" said MARION McGREGOR.

"We were only coining a phrase to fit the look of things.”

“| only drink fruit juices," said Marion, "they help to keep my measurements static."

"'Whatter?"

"Static, you fool," said Marion, "that means constant."

"What's constant, darling?"

"In my case," said Marion, "constant is 37-23-36. Any other questions?"

"What are you doing tonight, dearest?"

"Washing my hair," said Marion, "and please don't call me dearest at least, not until you've invited me home to meet your mother."

What a cute girl.

She lives in Ayrshire, which is in Scotland, which is full of bonny bunnies, and we've always been pro-Scottish. We like bonny bunnies.

Ursel Island

Au Pair Perfection

Lots of people are looking for the perfect au pair girl.

Housewives need one to take the toil of domestic chores off their shoulders, and husbands need one to help the suppertime conversation acquire a Continental flavour.

If all au pair girls were like URSEL ISLAND of West Berlin, wouldn't life be lovely?

Ursel can cook, sew, and ski. There isn't much to ski on in Maida Vale, even when it's snowing, but in her ski pants in a kitchen she makes hot dishes of spaghetti look well-dressed.

And if you've got any buttons that need sewing on to your shirts, you couldn't have them sewn on more securely than by Ursel. Don't you feel that unless you acquire an au pair like Ursel life just won't be worth living?

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.

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.

I'll Be Glad To Come Back Later

It was McKenzie's turn to go round and fix the electric kettle for BRENDA JOHNS of Co. Durham.

But Brenda wasn't dressed for visitors.

She'd washed her favourite mini-skirt and was elegantly draping herself around the place waiting for it to dry. She made a genuinely photogenic sweater girl, anyway.

"All right,"' called McKenzie through the keyhole, "I'll be glad to come back later."

Fair enough. Brenda is an enchanting eyeful. She works as a receptionist in her boyfriend’s garage, she's twenty three and measures 36-23-36. She likes driving fast cars and Continental holidays.

And she's got a lovely profile.

Mmmmm.
