Right at the top of the pin-up poll is MAGGIE McCULLY favourite of thousands.
There are other girls who “send” us and other girls who engender the old “double-take" when we pass them in the street, but Maggie is way up on the list of those who make us really whistle.
Before you articulately express your own variations of a whistle, kindly count to ninety-nine. It prevents you falling apart.

Well, the way KIM WEST is pointing is towards a place in the top ten glamour models of London. Other girls can be Twiggy models, Kim wants to be a scintillating glamour girl, and the way she’s started is with vitalistics of 36 "-23 "-36". There’s a long way to get to anywhere. Kim has chosen the round way.

If there’s a sweeter look than a candy look, it’s a candy stripes look, and if you want to eat ALICE RICHMOND we don’t blame you, because this lovely Scots lass is real sweet. Only don’t spoil it by asking if you can have ice cream as well.

That question has been asked before, but not, as far as we know, of Texas girl SHIRLEY SKATES, born of Irish-lndian stock.
How the name became Skates we don’t know. We don’t really care. Does anyone? It’s shapes not skates that move mountains.
Look at Helen of Troy. Launched all those ships without one bottle of champagne. Shirley isn’t interested in launching ships but she's pretty keen about launching Miss Skates. Shirley has appeared in cabaret at Las Vegas and hopes to develop from there, though figuratively speaking she’s pretty well developed already.
After all, inches of 37"-22"-37" can’t be completely ignored, can they? Shirley had these photographs taken at home, and you can see one of her hobbies is music. Her ideal man is Frank Sinatra. Next to Frankie she likes progressive jazz, sports clothes (what, all those enveloping woolies and ski pants?) and Chinese food.

Where were we?
Well, when VINCENE CRADDUCK came into the country pub we were at the bar, knocking back a pint of old ale and speaking of the mini to a couple of high-hatted knowalls who’d seen them all.
But they hadn’t seen Vincene in her mini.
We had.
There she was in front of our camera, and we still can’t remember whether her mini quite began or whether it was ever finished.
But since Vincene has the loveliest legs, you can imagine, we felt that if Vincene wasn’t bothered, then we weren’t either.
Vincene likes a glass of old ale herself in a country pub and we had a very enchanting conversation, leaving the two knowalls out of it.

Pin-up favourite RUTH CAVENDISH prefers a wooden horse.
She tried to ride a live one not long ago, down on a cattle farm. It was dead frisky. Ruth got all jerked about and finally fell off backwards.
Clonk.
She wouldn't have been as upset as she was if it hadn't given a horse laugh. She hasn't spoken to it since. She has settled for a quiet ride on Pinto, which is a rocking-horse she grew up with.
Pinto has nice manners.

What does it do that a diamond tiara couldn’t do better? Ask LAMORNA LEA, our popular pin-up pet.
“Also,” said Lamorna, less cautiously and more spontaneously, “if it’s white ermine it’s kind of luxurious to snuggle up to.”
"After all," she added thoughtfully, "what help is a diamond tiara when a girl’s in bra and briefs? It’s only that It’s worth a lot of money.”
“You know what?” Lamorna concluded. “I think you can take the stole and give me a tiara."

X For Men - No 3 - Late 1950’s
When you're nineteen and life isn't weighing you heavily down with all the responsibilities you accrue as you get older, you feel like stepping out to enjoy the wonders of the world.
You've a long way to go before you get to the age where you're all creaky and feeble and need to ask kind policemen to see you across the road. You're full of health and energy and can't understand what hypochondriacs make so much fuss about.
Absolutely whizzo with health and energy is ANGIE HOLT, high - stepping her way through the park, much to the amazement and delight of ninety-year-old gentlemen sitting in fragile pre-occupation on the park benches.
'Well, heck," says one old gent, "girls weren't like that when I was a
boy.”
‘No reason why we can't make up for it now," says a second old gent. ‘‘Where are you creaking off to?" asks the first ancient.
"I'm going to ask her for a dance,” says the second.

Air hostess JULIE COLLINS has been as high up in the world as anyone else, excepting only the astronauts, and as far as ambition is concerned the only thing left that excites Julie’s imagination is being an astronaut herself. May we say she’s the girl we’d most like to go into orbit with? Or the girl we’d most like to go giddy with? Same thing.
As an air hostess Julie has been on the Britain - America run and has touched down in every part of the American continent when serving with an American airline. She has finally settled in London, which she prefers to any other - it’s currently the swingiest, it seems - and she wants to get her feet back on the ground for a while. She’s twenty-two and she’s gorgeous.

What a fine thing for the old country it would be if we found a heavy-weight champ or even someone who could throw the hammer from here to the French wine country. It might make a mess of the wine bottles but think of the glory.
We know a girl who's looking for her own kind of champ.
DONNA MATHIS of the Midlands breeds doggies.
She also breeds Alsatians, which are a lot bigger than doggies. Her ambition is to exhibit a champion Alsatian.
We know an Alsatian. It's not a champ but what lovely teeth. Real, live choppers they are.

When a girl has legs as lovely as SYLVIA TERNES it’s not surprising to find that her progress down a Berlin Strasse accompanied by whistles of Teutonic admiration, and if you’ve ever heard the Berliners whistle you’d know it’s something you couldn’t miss, even with a brass band playing. Sylvia, nineteen, is rather sweet, don’t you think?

Title-winner in any legs contest you care to organise for the benefit of girls mad keen to demonstrate their eyecatching pins is, of course, LAURA MASON, one of your currently favourite glamour girls.
Laura lives in Tooting, where, naturally, the fresh guys don’t whistle but toot. Tooting is full of toots when Laura’s in view.
Laura has big brown eyes and a gay personality, and in this series, she glamorously demonstrates just how perfect are her legs. Add this one asset to all the others and you’ve got quite a girl!

These days the really glamorous gals want to be models or air hostesses. Models only move up and down the catwalks, the excitement is all in the wearing of the newest and most sensational collections.
Air hostesses get around.
One moment they’re here.
A couple of hours later they’re in Rome or Tangiers.
The capitals of the world are theirs.
And as one air hostess said to the other air hostess, “When you’ve seen one, Cleo, you’ve seen them all.”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said Cleo, “the languages are different.”
“When you’ve heard one language,” said the first air hostess, “you’ve heard them all. What are you doing on Saturday?”
“Oh, I’m going to Berlin and back in the morning,” said Cleo.
"I’m going to a football match,” said the first air hostess.
Never mind about that. FIONA JAMES wants to fly. She wants to be an air hostess. She’s just right for a smart, well-cut uniform. She’s five feet six and measures 35"-23"-36".

There just isn’t room in the boot for two long legs and a spare tyre. The tyre will have to go. A guy can always throw out any amount of spare tyres or old haversacks or empty beer cans, but he wouldn’t and couldn’t throw out BUNNY. Bunny is too beautiful. Bunny is a private secretary with an extremely high I.Q. So much so that her favourite reading matter is Egyptian archaeology. If you know anything about the pyramids you could have quite a conversation with Bunny.
