Sara Stuart

Extremely Photogenic

Extremely photogenic is Scottish pin-up SARA STUART, and whenever we're in the highlands we spend our time looking for her. Usually, Sara sees us first and goes off to Ireland until we've gone away.

Janet Ross

On The Fringe

We couldn't say much about the fringe because it's not our province, but there's room at least to tell you that long-legged dancer JANET ROSS sports the cutest figure in the front line.

Janet has danced in all the major European capitals, has listened to the gondoliers of Venice and matadors of Spain, and still likes the undisguised frankness of a London taxi-driver caught in a jam. There's music in us all.

Julia Seymour

Musical Secretary

Very fond of music is Secretary JULIA SEYMOUR, an absolutely delicious bird who lives near Blackpool.

While others go out at night to try ice cream in the dark or a glide at the Palais, Julia cuddles up in an armchair and reads music and studies sonatas. Still being a devotee of slinky stockings and the necessary suspensory equipment, Julia can relax without worrying about who's looking.

"I'm here," said the cameraman.

"Well, don't look," said Julia, "just take nice shots of me being musical."

"Oh, righty-ho,' said Percival, "and I'd just like to say my wife has got a pair which match yours."

"Mine?" said Julia.

"Your knicks."

"You sneaky dick,' said Julia, "you are looking."

"Only in me view-finder," said Percival.

Carol Leslie

Old-Fashioned Girl

It's not so much the way CAROL LESLIE does her shorthand-typing, it's the way she looks when she's relaxing. Still, the old-fashioned look on some girls can be awfully cute. There was Mary Tomkins in her lace pantaloons and ribboned hair at the fete last month, and when she came down the helter-skelter, she looked delicious. A bit like Scarlet O' Hara.

Carol likes her old-fashioned look.

Well, it's no problem to us.

All girls are different. That's what makes it all so complex. You bow to one girl and kiss her hand and she thinks you're round the twist. But she says, "Oh, how gallant, Major Tuttley." You bow to another one and kiss her hand. She thinks you're round the twist too and says so. She says, "Here, give over or they'll lock me away as well."

It's all a matter of individuals.

Susan Douglas

Keep The Fire Going

Well, winters with us and as the girls leave home in the mornings to catch their trains to their offices the last thing they tell Mum is to keep the fire going so that they can toast their tootsies when they get home again. That's what SUSAN DOUGLAS likes to do, it's heaven to feel one's toes tingling from the warmth. Of course, if Mum has let the fire go out one can only hope one's long winter whatsits will keep one warm until it's lit again.

Rachael Collins

Rachael and the Birdman

Brown eyes and chestnut hair look lovely on any bird, particularly RACHAEL COLLINS.

And in conjunction with a curvy chassis of 36-23-36 what a pretty picture all over, like. The birdman tapped on the window. A birdman is a goggle-eyed follower of pretty pictures,

"Can I come in?" he said.

"You can get lost," said Rachael, "and if you don’t, I'll call my mum, she's a karate chopper."

"It's cold out here,' said the birdman, wiping the frost off the window to get a better goggle.

"Well, hard luck, you big stiff," said Rachael, and opening the window she clouted him with a marble vase and knocked him cold. He was a literal big stiff in minutes and when the dustmen came along, they collected him up and shovelled him into the chute.

Helena Borland

Storyteller

Writer of short stories is HELENA BORLAND, Dutch girl who lives in London. Helena turns her stories out in five different languages, which is a sure sign that your time at a university can pay off if you keep your sweet nose religiously to the academic grindstone. Here Helena, who also occasionally models, shows how cute she can look tackling the start of a new story.

Maureen Stocks

Tops Vs. Tights

Entering the current contest in which old-fashioned stockings are trying to make comeback and tights are fighting a rear-guard action is MAUREEN STOCKS.

Well, when it comes to illustrating what an impact a really decent stocking top can make in the contest, you can't miss with Maureen as the model.

On the other hand, Maureen isn't always around your way. Never mind, ask your girlfriend to participate. If she's a confirmed tights wearer, talk to her in a roaring voice.

Lorna Morrell

Windy

It wasn't half blowy the day LORNA MORRELL went in for a session of rock-climbing. Wouldn't it have been better if she'd put on climbing boots and ski pants? Well, I'm not an expert," said Lorna, "I only do it for fun." The wind turned the fun into a pretty picture and all Lorna could say as each gust sent her skirt in a different direction was, "Oh, blow." She wasn't exactly intimidated, only windswept.

After she'd climbed ten feet, Lorna thought she wouldn't bother to scale the peak in case she got carried away by the whole thing. Being a Yorkshire girl, Lorna likes to come out on top of any situation, but when it's all becoming slightly ridiculous, she accepts that that's the time to pack up and go home to tea. She likes hot toast for tea.
