Don't Go Away

If there's one thing, we couldn't stand at the moment it's having LINDA DEANE go away.

We're going through a bit of a grotty period just about now, like finding nothing in our little black box and gorgeous girls deciding there are better things in life than us.

If we woke up one morning and read in a newspaper that Linda, our favourite outdoor dolly-bird, had gone off to Greenland it would just about screw us into lacerated finitis. That's some kind of Latin for some kind of depressed fragility and there's no cure except a win on the pools.

Still, cheer up, eh? Linda's doing fine modelling in London and she's not likely to go away yet.

Unless she gets a win on the pools.

Sun In Her Eyes

Our cover girl this month is one of your favourite pin-ups from Kent, FAY STEVENS, here caught with the sun in her eyes.

A secretary with a bustling, progressive company in the City of London, Fay is all for progress but not for bustling. She likes to go through each day on a note of quiet confidence, as distinct from the more spectacular secretaries who sweep in and out like vibrant motor-mowers.

Fay's favourite sport is tennis, and though we don't know what her rating is as a singles player we're pretty sure she's in constant demand at mixed doubles. Who cares about winning all that much, anyway?

Cover Girl

Adorning our cover this month is beautiful London model SALLY ANN SCOTT, just right for boosting your morale if you're alone in a tent.

And if your tent is in the middle of the Nevada desert, you're really alone, and the only boost to do you the most good would be Sally Ann herself walking in on you with a jug of ice-cold fruit juice. Or maybe you don't drink?

You'd prefer a good book? As long as Sally Ann brought it in person? You'll be lucky, with all those public libraries available in Las Vegas.

Lucky Old Dino

Don't know what it is. Something from the astral world, we shouldn't wonder. Found its feet though. Got 'em nicely under the table at the home of JOAN RUSSELL of Ayrshire. Lucky old Dino. Name's all right but face is a bit funny.

Joan thinks it's cute.

Looks like a freak doing a freak-out to us. There's Joan with her lovely legs that have won prizes for their shape, and there's Dino, and if Dino doesn't look the oddest shape beside Joan, we're not seeing as well as we used to.

Joan is our idea of what's magnetic about Scotland. Dino is our idea of what's lucky about an oddity that's got its feet nicely under Joan's kitchen table.

Bunny Girl

You don't have to dress up in one of those bunny outfits with a pom-pom tail to be a bunny girl, you only need to be fond of rabbits.

You keep them in a nice dry hutch and feed them lettuce. MARIA ASSIN was out the other day looking for some cute baby bunnies to take home, and as we were out looking for conkers, we bumped heads with her round a tree.

"What I don't understand," said Maria as she posed for us, "is why you a need a camera when you're looking for conkers."

"Well, we snap them first to see if they're photogenic."

"I've never heard of photogenic conkers," said Maria.

"They're the ones that come out well in close-up."

"I hope you know what you're talking about,' said Maria.

Cute girl, Maria. She's a charge clerk, nineteen years old, with statistics of 36"-24"-36".

Calling All Collies

If you're a nice big cuddly collie doggie, looking for a nice cosy cuddly home, why not get in touch with cosy cuddly INGRID NORSMAN?

If you're lost around the Cotswolds, Ingrid might be pleased to hear from you. Ingrid is an absolutely bewitching dog-lover. Honestly, some of you galumping great St. Bernards get better treatment from Ingrid than a mislaid pop star in need of his mother.

“What would you rather have for Easter, Ingrid? A famous pop star or a woolly collie?”

“Don't make me laugh, what would do with a pop star? You can take a woolly collie for a lovely ramble. You can't take a pop star anywhere except where the windows are all shut to keep the noise in.”

This is Ingrid.

Cuddly collies, please note.
