Which Way Round

THE fact is, LYNN JOYCE looks glamorous any way round, but the effect in profile has a particular enchantment for any of us who share the common bond of appreciation. And those outside of this probably only need new glasses.

And once you get new glasses you can’t miss the fact that Lynn is an all-rounder.

Lynn is a Weymouth girl, 19 years old, with vitalistics of 37"-24"-36". She works as a lab assistant, has hobbies which include dancing, dressmaking and modelling. Ambition? To have a holiday in Russia!

Is This Arcadia ?

Arcadia, of course, is the place where all is joy and bliss, where everyone is beautiful, and the music is acceptable in the ears of all. They don’t have a Jimmy Young programme, mind you, but after you've been there a couple of hours you find you don't miss it a bit.

We thought we’d landed in Arcadia when our balloon came down in an uncharted area west of Poole in Dorset. Ensconced in a woodland glade and bedecked in filmy drapery was (we thought) the Queen of Arcadia herself. However, after she’d put her flute down, we found she was a Bournemouth housewife. Her name was TONI TOWNSEND but as far as we were concerned, she was better in our viewfinder than any Queen of Arcadia and her vitalistics of 37 - 23 - 37 proved it.

And When The Ball Was Over

Well, when it was they all went home from the Kellerball in West Berlin and said they'd all come again next year if they'd slept this one off by then. It was a real freak-out costume-wise. There was blonde EVELYN VOSS in a halter that made the others gulp, and there was a lovely neckline and a girl who looked as if she'd forgotten her skirt but hadn't. It was all good clean fun.

Then there was the girl who looked like a wallflower and was all black ribbon bows and ever so dishy, only she wouldn't dance because she said it made her stockings come down. Honestly, what they get up to.

Good For A Giggle

We know many a girl finds a pair of Long Johns just right for helping her to stave off the goosepimples in the depths of winter, but when you come to look at them, fellers you can’t deny they’re good for a giggle.

In fact, if the comical gentry running the shows at the Pier Theatre during the summer season want to make sure the house splits itself in half from time to time, they’ll always think up a sketch in which the heroine wears Long Johns and is, moreover, seen to be wearing them.

We can’t laugh at JOAN PAUL, though, she’d be ever so upset, and we’ve always been good friends up to now.

Her white Long Johns aren’t her only pair, you know.

Can’t help giggling, can you, really?

Ruth Cavendish and Mugdock Tower

Ruth Cavendish modelled for an outdoor set, with pictures appearing in Beautiful Britons No 101 (March 1964) and Spick and Span Extra No 11 (Summer 1964).

The tower, or castle as ToCo describe it, has always been a bit of a mystery until now.

Thanks so much to David for taking the time to research this and bring it to our attention.

Mugdock Tower is in Mugdock Country Park, which is north of Bearsden.

This picture of the tower was taken in about 1976, so a few years after Ruth had had her fun there, but there is no mistaking her positioning against the tower, with the same tree in the background. It is of course very probable that this quiet country park was used for a great many other ToCo outdoor sets.

It has been suggested that a blue plaque would be warranted on this tower.

This is the ToCo blurb that accompanied the set in Spick and Span Extra No 11

Glamour With a Smile

Never without a smile is RUTH CAVENDISH, who makes as attractive a picture against the old castle walls as any suit of armour, with or without visor.

A Bird Afloat

When it comes to making the most of the Thames tributary just around the corner from where she lives, HELENA McGUIRE has just the right connection. In the shape of a lovely feller who owns a motor launch.

Mini-clad Helena looks enchanting on anything that floats, whether it's a launch, a punt or a barge. Her idea of bliss is that which comes from boats and waterways, plus a lovely feller who knows what to do if anything goes wrong.

There was one guy who proved a bit of a disaster, though. When the engine conked out one day he shouted, "Women and children first!" And threw her overboard. It wasn't the most exhilarating experience of her life, and Helena crossed him off her list of desirable boat owners.
