Vanda Vane-Dotson

Make Yourself Comfortable

There's a marvellous country girl we know. She rides to the hounds and all that jazz, and she looks absolutely gorgeous on a gee-gee, and if we could get her going for a gallop in her new tangerine mini-skirt she'd look even more gorgeous.

Her name is VANDA VANE-DOTSON, and she may be hyphenated but she's lovely to know. Hyphenated isn't catching anyway. She's a bit keen on law books and as they need going into at length, we told her to make herself comfortable while she was studying the odd twenty volumes or so. She made herself lovely and comfortable.

We told her to put her feet up as well, and as you can see if you turn the page she did. Look out for her around the countryside in Kent. She's got a darling horse called Mick. Oh, and she likes old English inns.

Have a pint on the horse. Mick’s a generous old gee-gee.

Monika Busch - Almut Eggert - Jeannette Charrown

/

Trio

First of our trio, in fact, is blonde MONIKA BUSCH, a nineteen-year-old mannequin of Berlin. Monika was crowned Miss Berlin only this year, and although we aren't acquainted with too many Berlin beauties, we can't think the Berliners went wrong on this choice.

Next comes attractive ALMUT EGGERT, just twenty-one. Almut is a film actress from West Germany and just about the prettiest prospect they have lined up there for the cinemagoers.

Completing our Teutonic trio is JEANNETTE CHARROWN, at twenty just beginning to make a name for herself in Continental films. Needless to say, we can't wait to see Jeannette on our own screens, and any delay will add to our incentive to gnaw our fingers.

Elegance and Efficiency

Elegance and Efficiency

Combining these virtues is lovely PATRICIA GARLAND, secretary in the City of London.

Pat has just become interested in modelling and wants eventually to do TV commercials. We can think of no one more elegantly equipped for the job of convincing us we're not using the right shampoo to stop our hair falling out. Or enticing us to wash in a new kind of detergent.

Frankly, we aren't too bothered about never being alone with a certain brand, but what chance is there of being alone with Pat to persuade her we know just which box of chocolates she likes best? Isn't she a honey?

Watch out for TV advertisers being crafty enough to size up Pat as a hundred per cent prospect for selling you on every line that passes over your screens. How could you resist her without keeping your eyes shut-and with Pat in view how could you keep your eyes shut?

Liz McEwen and Debora Stewart

Friends

Great friends are blonde LIZ McEWEN and brunette DEBORA STEWART" so when it came to fixing up a game of badminton in the garden it was only natural for them to go through with it in the friendliest way possible.

It's all a laugh to Liz and Debbie. It might have been a matter of grim, purposeful intent to two other girls whose only thought would have been to get on with the game and slaughter each other.

But Liz and Debbie play the game for the giggles and don't even bother to keep the score. Why don't they bother to keep the score?

“We can’t count," said Debbie.

Linda Groom

Oh, My Hat!

When a straw hat is not a hat is when it's a cute chapeau perched on the curly head of a beautiful LINDA GROOM, thus making this Bournemouth belle not just a mere lovely lady but an absolute eye-catcher.

Come now, where else have you seen a straw hat worn with such eye-appeal and, where else have you seen a tree put in the shade by such long-legged loveliness?

As for the pyjama jacket, this looks even better on Linda than any man, and if you know any outdoor vista which has more appeal than this one, you must have a beautiful view from where you live.

Linda, a receptionist, is one of the nicest girls we know, and if there's one thing that would make us celebrate and take two extra noggins for supper, it would be a transfer to Bournemouth!

Star Billing

Tops on the Continent is West German actress CHRISTIANS SCHMIDTMER, the girl who gets star billing on TV or the screen not just because she’s beautiful but also because she’s got talent

Add to talent those long and lovely legs and you must have a winner.

Christiane, in these shots posed exclusively for us, reveals just how beautiful she really does look around her home and just why the wolf whistles echo non-stop outside.

Fay Stevens

A Question of Glamour

It isn't much of a question, really, because FAY STEVENS is so obviously the epitome of glamour that the only point requiring to be answered is whether you consider her your answer to a dream.

Obviously, your answer to a dream must be your idea of perfect glamour, because answers to dreams are always just what you want.

If vitalistics impinge on the answer, then of course you have to know that Fay's tot up to 36"-23"-36".

Shirley Holden

Boo to Bimbo

Favourite around this house is long-eared Bimbo, a real pet as far as

SHIRLEY HOLDEN is concerned and seeing that this puts our own ears out of joint they're not long enough all we can say is boo to Bimbo. Shirley is a gay Scot and a happy housewife, and that their Bimbo is sneaking half the picture. You can tell that by the grin on his face.

Well, any Bimbo who sits on Shirley's lap is a spoilt Bimbo - he's old enough to be sent out on a paper round. Outside her regard for Bimbo, Shirley is a fan of Queens Park Football Club and a keen hockey player.

That guy is right in the picture again, but not so much that we can't see Shirley is just as photogenic as he is. In fact, long ears never look as captivating as long legs.

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?
