Manja Peruccia

Austrian Glamour

Sometimes no issue is complete without the introduction of at least one model from the Continent. Formerly an undeniably fair girl, MANJA PERUCCIA is now trying out the brunette look.

As long as the basic qualities are their nice teeth, nice smile, etcetera-the colour of the hair is almost an irrelevant incidental. Basically, indeed, Manja has always been a Continental cutie.

A ballet student, with her eye on growing up to be a beautiful ballerina, Manja is Austrian-born. You can't ever separate glamour from Vienna.

Ballet Is Her Love

If this picture gives you the impression that the first love of Austrian girl MANJA PERUCCIA is modelling underwear in the countryside, kindly jettison the impression. Manja is studying ballet in West Germany, and ballet is her one and only love right now. Ballet is art and arty is Manja.

Manja modelled these pictures for us because we told her she was a real humdinger of a pin-up girl and Manja modestly said she wasn't.

That raised a point that had to be clarified and here is Manja clarifying it in our favour.

Well, do you know any ballet students who can't be called real humdinging pin-ups when they look as good as Manja does?

“Flattery,” murmured Manja during the course of the sitting, “will get you nowhere. What is a humdinger, please?”

“A humdinger in your case is someone who has the abstract or material quality guaranteed to make someone else’s eyes pop.”

“Like pink elephants?” asked Manja.

What can you do with a photogenic ballet student who plays herself down to that extent?

Austrian Vista

Actually, only the girl is Austrian the background is West Germany, where M A N J A P E R U C C I A is studying to become a ballerina. Manja has great hopes and high ambitions. She also has the essential talent and a natural gaiety which she eloquently portrays in every lively pose.

Next to her love of dancing Manja has a vivacious aptitude for enjoying life itself its fun being photographed.

Continental Cutie

Very cute indeed is MANJA PERUCCIA,

Austrian girl studying ballet in West Germany and taking time off occasionally to be a pinup. Manja’s ambition is to carry her student days to a successful climax and enter a ballet company which will be delighted to have her.

Until that day comes along Manja mixes fun with her work.

Well, who can resist a frilly frolic in the sunny outdoors when the spring is here?
