Susan Ashford
/Focus On A Friller
It's not all minimum brevity with some girls. All right, so most of them don't wear even half as much as their mothers did and still do, but there are some who still like lots of frills.
One gorgeous friller is SUSAN ASHFORD, Scots girl from Ayrshire.
Since there are always readers asking whatever happened to lingerie and the half-baked idiots who made it obsolete, we feel from time to time that we should illustrate the fact that it's not universally obsolete.
The dodo may be dead beyond all recall, but not frillies.
Well, enjoy yourselves, those of you who suffer from nostalgia, and have some hot toast for tea while you're about it.

Pamela Conway-Morris
/It's a Date
Yes, sir, we're making a very definite date for PAMELA CONWAY-MORRIS to come and see us again. We're wild about this Welsh wench.
Now we're wild in more ways than one.
Because when Pam checked up on her calendar she found she hadn't got one date spare.

Anne Scott and Pamela Johnson
/It's True
Girls like ANNE SCOTT and PAMELA JOHNSON really do go for those mod longs, and we’re as surprised as you.
Caroline Campbell
/Who’d Prefer an Aspidistra?
Who’d Prefer an Aspidistra?
Well, which would you prefer in the bay window an aspidistra or CAROLINE CAMPBELL?
If anyone should say aspidistra it might make our question worthwhile but who'd seriously credit the answer?

Jennifer Goodman
/Welsh Charm
Soft-eyed, lilting-voiced and dark-haired are many Welsh girls, and appealing in her own natural charm is JENNIFER GOODMAN of Swansea. Welsh readers who frequently ask for more features on their own girls should find Jennifer just the right answer. If they don't, they're too hard to please.
Jennifer is a wages clerk, and a darned delightful one at that. whose hobbies are dressmaking, designing, music, modelling and men. Don't ask us in what order just make your own guess.
Jennifer's vitalistics amount to 35"23"36", which means the structure is nicely streamlined and the curves just right. Out and about she is glamorous and eye-catching and she's not far short of this indoors, either!

Patricia Garland (Susan Douglas)
/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?

Annette French
/Symphonic
Just like a musical symphony ANNETTE FRENCH Scottish lass who might also be described as a tuneful dreamboat, because every time we see her, we want to break into beautiful music.
Annette has the perfect shape and the perfect Cupid's bow, and in days when romance rather than gimmicks inspired the muse, poets and musicians would have combined to praise such a dreamboat.
Nowadays, of course such a symphonic shape as Annette's inspires the doubletake and the long whistle, but who writes poetry except our bard?

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.

Marion Holmes
/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.

Janette Goodman
/I'll String Along
It isn’t JANETTE GOODMAN who'd really have to string along—any guy with sense and discrimination would gladly tag. Who wouldn’t want to buy a girl like this a ticket for a dance!
Janette is one of our own favourite Scottish lassies and that Highland accent sounds in our ears like the tinkle of wee bells in the heather. If that gives you the impression we're a wee bitty softie, well so we are when we’re lyrical. We'll string along with Janette on the wings of a descriptive lullaby if we must.
Nicola Sieff
/You Win
The fact is, if your name is NICOLA SIEFF and you look spectacularly curvy you can't lose. In other words, you've no chance of being a wallflower, and if your aim in life is to be proposed to you've no problem. Since Nicola hit London town last year a score of the nicest chaps have wanted to marry her, but Nicola says it's not for her until she's 25.
