Unchained

When lovely Reading girl JACKIE WEST got married, she thought it was going to be all kitchens, sinks and hot ovens. Being utterly in love she thought she'd take the rough with the smooth, like, but after being carried over the threshold and put into the best armchair she heard him say,

"Now you just stay there while I put the kettle on.”

What a prize feller. Jackie felt unchained at once. The fact is hubby is very mod and likes being in the kitchen as much as she does.

Who wouldn't, with Jackie there?

Audrey Crane and Sandra Darvos

Elegance

WELL. there's nothing quite like that elongated cigarette-holder to cap the elegance of AUDREY CRANE, a London model with a flair for looking gracefully streamlined. If there's one thing more than another which turns a guy's head that away it's feminine elegance-providing the girl doesn't use the cigarette-holder to poke his eye out.

Confirming elegance is the attribute of more than one girl is auburn-haired SANDRA DARVOS, also of London. Sandra has vitalistics of 36"-22"-35" and Audrey tapes up to 36"-23"-36", which represent figures acceptable to both them and us.

To some men, boats or kites represent the ultimate in interests outside their work. But what boat or kite can possibly have the lines to compete with the curves of Sandra and Audrey?

Or are we plain old fashioned in preferring photogenic elegance to kites caught up on TV aerials? A boat, of course, is a practical necessity to row a girl down the river but other than that, who cares?

No Matter What

No matter what we present to you in the way of new faces and new features, there's always one more fan requesting the pleasure of seeing JUDIE JAYSON again.

So here she is. And we quite agree. She always looks just right. Judie can cook, too. Not that she gets a lot of time in the kitchen, she's too busy right now with film parts.

Some people have the right idea. Film people with discrimination are among them. They know what you know-that Judie in front of a camera is one of the most photogenic girls in the biz.

Extremely Photogenic

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.

Something Comfortable

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.

On The Fringe

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.

BrazenBooks Open For Business

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.

Where's My Tea?

"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.

Something For a Rainy Day

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.

Musical Secretary

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.

Old-Fashioned Girl

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.
