Maggie McCully

Wild and Woolly

Not really all that wild - just excitingly civilised - is gay MAGGIE McCULLY, but her cosy top is very woolly, and Maggie is well wrapped up in it, don't you think?

Maggie lives in Surrey and spends five days a week as an assistant secretary with high hopes of becoming the boss's No. I in due course. The job of being No. I secretary is one which Maggie will fit as charmingly as she fits a swimsuit that measures 35"-22"-36".

One of the intriguing aspects of commerce today is the fact that secretaries seem to possess not only the necessary academic qualifications for their jobs but also the physical qualifications that are a must for pin-up girls.

Dear Sir Harry - Is your secretary photogenic and glamorous? If not, why not? Come, spare a moment from your colossal estimates to look at Maggie, and then ask yourself why you don't have someone as cute as this to keep your pencils sharpened.

Maggie is lively, lovely, and lissom. She is also gay, gallivanting, and gorgeous loves dancing and dining, bright lights, and sandy beaches. Has black hair, brown eyes, and long legs. An absolute tonic at a party. And, to cut a long story short, is a perfect eyeful.

Margaret Smith

Pick of the Post

We had one of those exhilarating months with the post. It came in through the window one day on account of the postman not having time to bring it through the door. He was in a hurry to get back to the sorting office to help out a new lady sorter with green eyes. Still, he did leave us with an envelope that contained some very alluring photographs of a Brighton girl called MARGARET SMITH, and we thought she was just the girl we could devote this monthly feature to.

Margaret works in a Brighton office. Haphazard men keep popping into the office to ask the way to the pier. It's not because they're haphazard about where the pier is, but because they're falling to pieces over the allure of Margaret and it's the only way, they can keep in touch with her.

Friends Frolicking in the Countryside

Friends Frolicking in the Countryside. These pictures are from sets that appeared in Spick No’s 116 & 117 (July and August 1963) and which were regurgitated for our enjoyment again in Spick & Span Extra No 55, Summer 1975.

These, of course, have been colourised; the jury is out as far as I am concerned, but definitely worth a showing. Many thanks for this contribution.

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.
