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?

Linda Groom

Oh, My Hat!

When a straw hat is not a hat is when it's a cute chapeau perched on the curly head of a beautiful LINDA GROOM, thus making this Bournemouth belle not just a mere lovely lady but an absolute eye-catcher.

Come now, where else have you seen a straw hat worn with such eye-appeal and, where else have you seen a tree put in the shade by such long-legged loveliness?

As for the pyjama jacket, this looks even better on Linda than any man, and if you know any outdoor vista which has more appeal than this one, you must have a beautiful view from where you live.

Linda, a receptionist, is one of the nicest girls we know, and if there's one thing that would make us celebrate and take two extra noggins for supper, it would be a transfer to Bournemouth!

Star Billing

Tops on the Continent is West German actress CHRISTIANS SCHMIDTMER, the girl who gets star billing on TV or the screen not just because she’s beautiful but also because she’s got talent

Add to talent those long and lovely legs and you must have a winner.

Christiane, in these shots posed exclusively for us, reveals just how beautiful she really does look around her home and just why the wolf whistles echo non-stop outside.

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".

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.

Ursel Island

Au Pair Perfection

Lots of people are looking for the perfect au pair girl.

Housewives need one to take the toil of domestic chores off their shoulders, and husbands need one to help the suppertime conversation acquire a Continental flavour.

If all au pair girls were like URSEL ISLAND of West Berlin, wouldn't life be lovely?

Ursel can cook, sew, and ski. There isn't much to ski on in Maida Vale, even when it's snowing, but in her ski pants in a kitchen she makes hot dishes of spaghetti look well-dressed.

And if you've got any buttons that need sewing on to your shirts, you couldn't have them sewn on more securely than by Ursel. Don't you feel that unless you acquire an au pair like Ursel life just won't be worth living?

Need a secretary to cope with it all?

What a pity you can't engage her. Sarah is already happily working for someone else.

Domestic Glamour

Housewife from the Garden of Kent is JEANETTE BONNER and just about one of the nicest glamour girls we know.

These pretty pictures were taken by Jeanette's husband, Peter, an enthusiastic amateur photographer whose favourite pin-up model is, naturally, Jeanette herself.

You can take it from us that Jeanette is also a good cook. If you've got glamour in the lounge and efficiency in the kitchen you're sitting pretty.

We can't think of anything more conducive to marital bliss than a perfect apple pie served by perfectly pretty wife. You might perhaps consider you could go one better by having champagne in an iced bucket served by your missus in white leotard and black tights, but our money is on Jeanette and her apple pie.

We've featured domestic glamour on many occasions before because it has its own unique appeal, and because we're sold on apple pie ourselves and this particularly cute cook! - we hope to bring you more of Jeanette in and around her Kentish home. Pass the custard, Maud.

How To Keep Our Friends

How To Keep Our Friends

That's if we've got any friends. Some reader wrote us the most unfriendly letter, so we're not sure if anybody loves us at the moment. Still, there was one awfully decent bloke who wrote us about ANNE DUKE and said what a divine creature she was and that he'd love us for ever if we'd only feature her more and more and more. Naturally, if we've got one friend, we'd like to keep him. Anne was very cordial about it all and said she’s tickled to death to be photographed again. No, no, we said, the pleasure will be all ours. After all, let's face it. Anyone on the viewing end of the camera and getting those long, lovely legs in focus can hardly be said to be suffering. You know Anne is a Welsh beauty queen, of course? If you don't, that means you only look at the pictures and don't read the print. Try and persevere. The print isn't as scintillating as the pictures, but it's more educational.

Letter of the Month

Please can we have a little more variety? I don't mean I want to see photographs of shrimp boats or cattle markets, I mean I want you to range far and wide and bring us glamorous pictures of glamorous beauties from everywhere. When do you ever feature Chinese girls? Never. When have you ever featured Indian girls? Never. Have you ever found us a beautiful young thing from Indonesia? No. The Indonesian girls are particularly lovely. I should know. I've been there. Have you been there? You can't have or you'd know what we're missing. I don't think you try hard enough. I think you just sit around and take what comes. I think you're going off, in fact. I can see all the mini-skirted London dollies I like, I live there, and so do thousands of other readers. Shake yourself, please. You can do it. You've only got to start working.

D. B. FRANCIS - Kennington, S.E.11.

What about Mongolian dollies? Just say the word and we'll flip off there and probably never come back. So there.

Lee Sothern - Modern Life - 1968

When glamorous Lee Sothern appeared in the first issue of Modern Life, your editors were certain they had an outstanding personality on their hands. But little did they know that Modern Life fans would acclaim her in such numbers. Consequently, to quiet the clamour for more of Lee Sothern. we hurriedly contacted her for more photographs. And so, dear reader, just for you, are more poses of the glamor girl of the month. Although Lee appears in black and white on these pages, let your imagination picture the way she would look if you saw her in person. Her outfit is rubber all rubber. Her blouse is red, a vivid brilliant red and her pants are black, jet black. The pants are skin tight and cling and mould to every curve of her body. Her blouse is comparatively loose and is constructed to allow freedom for breathing and motion. The outfit was designed for her Cat Girl role

Svelte and sophisticated, Lee Sothern, popular English television star, demonstrates the flexibility of her Cat Girl costume for Modern Life fans. No matter how she moves, the rubber outfit stretches, does not restrict her movement, and yet hug tightly to her long, glamorous legs. The blouse is also constructed in such way So that she has freedom to expand her chest as much as she desires without restriction. It is easy to predict that with what Lee has to offer, she will go a long way in TV and in the movies.

Smitten By A Sec

Fred was just holding a horse while Joe went to fetch a saddle when JENNY PIECE of Worcester came through the gate. Fred felt as if he'd been struck by lightning, and if he hadn't been holding onto the horse he'd have fallen down.

Jenny, a secretary, was wearing polished boots, brief mini and a devastatingly floppy hat. She asked Fred if he had a spare horse around.

"Believe me," said Fred hoarsely, "you only need to ask, and you can have the whole string.” "What are you all flushed about?" asked Jenny, looking traumatically bewitching under her hat. "It's not hot, is it?"

"Don't let's talk about me,' said Fred faintly, "let's find you a spare horse and then we can have a long chat about your phone number. Of course, if you're going riding, I'll come with you, I'll just fade away if I don't."

"No, I'm not going riding," said Jenny, "I just happen to have a lump of sugar and if you've got a spare horse that's not doing anything can i feed him.' So, she did, but the place has never been the same for Fred since she left.

Up From The Country

Born in Hampshire, BRITT HAMPSHIRE is well-named. Britt came up from the country last year and has been happily earning a living a as a model in the big merry-go-round of London.

Country girls have lovely complexions. Britt looks like a dairymaid fresh from helping the farmer gather his corn. That doesn't mean her conversation is restricted to agriculture or how to spray fruit trees. She can converse on the most abstract subjects, reducing the listener to a mesmerised admiration of her voice and her blue eyes.

In view of man's infatuated helplessness in the presence of beauty, it's easy to understand why Helen of Troy launched a thousand ships.

Eye-Catching Deb

Coming out with the rest of this year's high society girls might have made SARA STUART a little remote from us. But Sara is essentially a friendly girl, enchanted by all that keeps a philosopher down on the ground and a sputnik up in the air. Life is the keynote of Sara's interest in each day as it arrives, she loves the Beatles and is mad about Sir Malcolm Sargent. Also, she's one of the most eye-catching gals in the place.
