Janus V1 No 8

More familiar faces, but can you name them?

Cecelia Rodriguez

Happiness Is a Good Book

Lovely Brighton dolly CECELIA RODRIGUEZ is fond of literature. To Cecelia happiness is a good book. She quite understands that for others it's pop concert or a freak-in on the beach, but neither is her scene.

She also likes travel. She has a feeling for balloons. She thinks Phineas Fogg must have known utter bliss in ballooning around the world in eighty days, and she's saving up to buy a balloon of her own. Then she hopes to be up, up and away.

She'll take some good books with her in case it rains.

Maggie McCully

Wild and Woolly

Not really all that wild - just excitingly civilised - is gay MAGGIE McCULLY, but her cosy top is very woolly, and Maggie is well wrapped up in it, don't you think?

Maggie lives in Surrey and spends five days a week as an assistant secretary with high hopes of becoming the boss's No. I in due course. The job of being No. I secretary is one which Maggie will fit as charmingly as she fits a swimsuit that measures 35"-22"-36".

One of the intriguing aspects of commerce today is the fact that secretaries seem to possess not only the necessary academic qualifications for their jobs but also the physical qualifications that are a must for pin-up girls.

Dear Sir Harry - Is your secretary photogenic and glamorous? If not, why not? Come, spare a moment from your colossal estimates to look at Maggie, and then ask yourself why you don't have someone as cute as this to keep your pencils sharpened.

Maggie is lively, lovely, and lissom. She is also gay, gallivanting, and gorgeous loves dancing and dining, bright lights, and sandy beaches. Has black hair, brown eyes, and long legs. An absolute tonic at a party. And, to cut a long story short, is a perfect eyeful.

Beautiful Britons No 80 - June 1962

Margaret Smith

Pick of the Post

We had one of those exhilarating months with the post. It came in through the window one day on account of the postman not having time to bring it through the door. He was in a hurry to get back to the sorting office to help out a new lady sorter with green eyes. Still, he did leave us with an envelope that contained some very alluring photographs of a Brighton girl called MARGARET SMITH, and we thought she was just the girl we could devote this monthly feature to.

Margaret works in a Brighton office. Haphazard men keep popping into the office to ask the way to the pier. It's not because they're haphazard about where the pier is, but because they're falling to pieces over the allure of Margaret and it's the only way, they can keep in touch with her.

Friends Frolicking in the Countryside

Friends Frolicking in the Countryside. These pictures are from sets that appeared in Spick No’s 116 & 117 (July and August 1963) and which were regurgitated for our enjoyment again in Spick & Span Extra No 55, Summer 1975.

These, of course, have been colourised; the jury is out as far as I am concerned, but definitely worth a showing. Many thanks for this contribution.

Is That Me

No, is it really me? asks pretty SYLVIA STUART, office girl in an old town of Ayrshire. I mean what would mother say. Nothing I suppose, except does your grandmother know you've been to her chest. Smashing, aren't they? The beatniks aren't so crazy as I thought.

Well, I mean, they may not be a frightfully artistic adornment, but think of their worth up in the cold Highlands.

Pardon me - I was just getting ready to take a bath. But I'm not ready yet and my forthcoming immersion is the result of a mere slip. Of the feet. If it's too hot or too cold I shall yell my head off.

Oh, well, once you're in you're in, and once you're wet, you're all wet. Did I ever tell you about my grandfather all steamed up a Turkish bath? He didn't go off the boil for days.

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?

Spick and Span Extra No 52 - Autumn 1974

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?

Judie Jayson

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.
