Extremely photogenic is Scottish pin-up SARA STUART, and whenever we're in the highlands we spend our time looking for her. Usually, Sara sees us first and goes off to Ireland until we've gone away.

When a woman gets into something comfortable, she can't half look like a sailor's dream of a transcendental mermaid.
There are exceptions of course, like untidy women in rotten old dressing-gowns.
Still, live and let live, we can't all be exotic film stars.
And we can't all be like SHIRLEY LINDEN, either. Some of us have to sit up all night keeping the lighthouse going. One way of making the time pass blissfully is thinking about Shirley in something comfortable.
Looks a knockout, don't you think?
Shirley of course, is a model. All models look ravishing in something comfortable. Aside from all the glamour of it, Shirley could design her own interior decor and whitewash the garden wall as well. She likes cooking, reading and going round the art galleries.

We couldn't say much about the fringe because it's not our province, but there's room at least to tell you that long-legged dancer JANET ROSS sports the cutest figure in the front line.
Janet has danced in all the major European capitals, has listened to the gondoliers of Venice and matadors of Spain, and still likes the undisguised frankness of a London taxi-driver caught in a jam. There's music in us all.

The sharper-eyed of you may have noticed that the more exotic fetish sections on this site have disappeared - namely the bondage, rubber and spanking orientated books and topics. They were very popular with some, but I personally did not think they sat that well alongside the likes of ToCo and QT - I really want to keep things here focused that way.
So, over the last few months, I have been putting together another site focused on all things BDSM - Bondage, Rubber, Spanking, Adult Comics and a lot more. Primarily this will be a bookstore, though it will also have the occasional post and collector information pages when I get the time.
Occasionally I am offered vintage collections of books and films which fall into these genres, and which are quite rare and hard to find. I have amassed a considerable amount of these over the years, which I will use as the foundation for this new site - no point in hiding them all away in boxes! There are some excellent quality, rare, original printed books available, which I have mainly acquired from deceased estates. What you do tend to find with these types of collections is that they are generally in excellent condition compared to Pin-Up and Glamour collections. I put this down to the fact that they are usually lovingly preserved; catalogued and hidden away in the darkest of cupboards - unlike a lot of Pin-Up and Glamour books that were readily available at the newsagents in the 1960’s & 70’s, and frequently thumbed by all and sundry at work!
The few books that I did make available on Vintage Fetish were very popular, so I am hoping that will carry over to this new bookstore.
And an interesting fact that surprised me when looking into the site statistics:- the most searched word on this site is bondage - not stockings or legs as you might have expected, but bondage!
So, if this interests you, please do check out the new site. There are some excellent quality, rare books available, with lots more to be added.
"Yes, where's my tea?" said Jim.
There was always a cup of tea for him as soon as he got home in the evenings. There wasn't one on this occasion. There wasn't any wife, either.
CAROL MONTGOMERY, an utterly fetching housewife, had had her first modelling assignment, and got so wrapped up in the glamour of it that she forgot all about hurtling home on her moped to make tea for Jim.
Carol lives in Suffolk, which is full of old-world charm and other lovely housewives just like her.
When she did get back home, she gave Jim two cups. Well, he'd been a sport, he'd peeled the potatoes.
That's how to stay married, that is.

Young secretary from Munich is MARIA STEIWER, and she's just treated herself to something for a rainy day.
A lush, smooth, shiny leather coat.
Now you'll all want one. In one like Maria’s, you won't be able to wait for a rainy day. But don't fall over yourselves, girls, queue up nice and orderly. The first one to scratch someone else's eyes out will be drummed off the pavement.

Very fond of music is Secretary JULIA SEYMOUR, an absolutely delicious bird who lives near Blackpool.
While others go out at night to try ice cream in the dark or a glide at the Palais, Julia cuddles up in an armchair and reads music and studies sonatas. Still being a devotee of slinky stockings and the necessary suspensory equipment, Julia can relax without worrying about who's looking.
"I'm here," said the cameraman.
"Well, don't look," said Julia, "just take nice shots of me being musical."
"Oh, righty-ho,' said Percival, "and I'd just like to say my wife has got a pair which match yours."
"Mine?" said Julia.
"Your knicks."
"You sneaky dick,' said Julia, "you are looking."
"Only in me view-finder," said Percival.

Janus - Vol 1 No 9
More familiar faces, but can you name them?
It's not so much the way CAROL LESLIE does her shorthand-typing, it's the way she looks when she's relaxing. Still, the old-fashioned look on some girls can be awfully cute. There was Mary Tomkins in her lace pantaloons and ribboned hair at the fete last month, and when she came down the helter-skelter, she looked delicious. A bit like Scarlet O' Hara.
Carol likes her old-fashioned look.
Well, it's no problem to us.
All girls are different. That's what makes it all so complex. You bow to one girl and kiss her hand and she thinks you're round the twist. But she says, "Oh, how gallant, Major Tuttley." You bow to another one and kiss her hand. She thinks you're round the twist too and says so. She says, "Here, give over or they'll lock me away as well."
It's all a matter of individuals.

It isn't necessary to bring in the horse, but if you did it wouldn't put VICKI MUNRO in a flap. Vicki is not only dressed for a canter up the stairs or over the furniture, it so happens she can ride with the best of them. Riding with the best of them means that if she takes a tumble at a point-to-point, it's just a matter of taking the bump in her stride. It hurts, of course, but it's nice when it leaves off.
Well, winters with us and as the girls leave home in the mornings to catch their trains to their offices the last thing they tell Mum is to keep the fire going so that they can toast their tootsies when they get home again. That's what SUSAN DOUGLAS likes to do, it's heaven to feel one's toes tingling from the warmth. Of course, if Mum has let the fire go out one can only hope one's long winter whatsits will keep one warm until it's lit again.
