Susan Douglas

Ravishingly Inimitable

No one can say we haven't found less delightful girls than any other magazine. In a mood of unshakeable confidence, we declare we've found too many to count.

Lots of them have given you moments when you've thought if only you were tall, dark and handsome, with a villa in Spain and a chateau in France, you could have confronted them with nonchalance.

"I'm a rich, fascinating playboy, Esmerelda-how about coming down to Southend and looking over my ocean-going yacht sometime?"

"I'm not Esmerelda, I'm Toots, and I get sea-sick on yachts." Anyway, of all the delightful girls we've found SUSAN DOUGLAS has been ravishingly inimitable and still is. We've had so many yearning postcards about her lately that we gave in to sentiment and here is Susan to make you happy again.

Save up and buy a glider, even if not a yacht. Susan loves being up in the air.

Larking About In The Woods With Paula

Paula gives us a tantalising look at those fantastic legs. Stay tuned for more later this month as Paula dazzles us with more pictures in her nurse's uniform.

Sadie Milligan

Happy Birthday - Sadie Milligan

I was reminded over the weekend that Easter Sunday, 31st March, marked Sadie Milligan's 86th birthday. I can confirm that she is well and thriving in Australia. It was 60 years ago that she left Ardrossan for a new life down under.

Let's hope it was all that she had hoped for and more. Let's enjoy a few pictures of the very lovely Sadie Milligan, who was about 19 to 20 years old when most of these pictures were taken.

Jennifer Taylor

Girl On The Go

I can't imagine a more enticing way to kick off the month than with a collection of captivating pictures featuring the incredibly alluring Jennifer Taylor.

There's nothing quite like the healthy virility of girls who run a mile round the farm before breakfast each morning. Into the farmhouse kitchen they leap at the end of it, all glowing and flushed and ready to eat a horse.

"So that's what happened to poor old Dobbin," said JENNIFER TAYLOR, our newest girl on the go. (She's a Go- Go girl, actually, and you can't be more on the go than that).

"Just don't think about it," we said, "then it won't hurt.'

We didn't want anything to put Jennifer off looking beautiful. She had just finished a lovely run round the Gloucester farm herself and was all glowing and rosy in her eye-catching undies.

"I'm starving," she said. So would anyone be after all that exercise and being so young and vital and all.

"All right, Go and enjoy your breakfast, then."

What, at one o'clock in the afternoon?" said Jennifer, ever so entrancingly shapely at 39-25-36. "You've gone cuckoo or something." We've gone cuckoo for sure. So will you when you see all these lovely shots of Jennifer around the farm.

Paula - Private Collection

Easter Sunday with Paula.

A break from her nursing duties, Paula takes a leisurely stroll in the woods, stylishly dressed, hinting at surprises to come. It's all about the anticipation, after all.

Valetta

Unfortunately, that is all I have with no further details. These pictures from the private collection of negatives are very similar to Maureen's; if you like them, I have several more that I can share. I look forward to hearing your opinions.

Paula - Private Collection

All in a Day's Work for Paula.

Paula tantalises us with a peek beneath her nurse's uniform. Blood pressure tablets at the ready! Undoubtedly, Paula is a stunning young woman, who I am confident is currently or was a fantastic nurse. Looking forward to an exciting day out with Paula on Easter Sunday.

Julie Amos

New Model

Dreamy-eyed girl with the long legs is JULIE AMOS, new to the world of modelling.

Julie is a Yorkshire girl, resident at the moment in London.

Working in a London office, Julie earns sufficient as a shorthand-typist to keep herself comfortably fed and attractively clothed, and that's not all.

She also puts away enough each the pay-day to ensure she can cope with the expenses of a summer holiday on the Continent. On any part of the Continent incidentally, this soft eyed, dark haired Yorkshire lass really slays them.

Introducing You To Paula

What does the lovely Paula have in store for us? Check back later this week and throughout April to see why Paula is so beneficial for our health and general well-being. You won’t be disappointed.

Helen Candlish

Lovely in Lingerie

Actually, HELEN CANDLISH looks lovely in any kind of clothing. She's pretty cute even in a barrel or a roll of lino. In lingerie, of course, she's one hundred per cent feminine, and that, bub, counts more with us than any barrel.

If you're travelling through Ayrshire at all this summer, on your way to the Highlands, you might be lucky enough to spot Helen. Keep your glasses at the ready and let someone else do the driving.

Helen loves modelling, and there's nothing that quite beats a model who loves her work and who looks just the way Helen looks.

And when modelling the attractive briefness of the modern girl's lingerie, Helen looks lovely. Which is where we came in.

Ann - Private Collection

Ann - Countryside Tease

Out and about with Ann for the day. Ann gives us a teasing glimpse of her stocking tops all very prim and proper. Great smile. Pictures taken from the private collection of negatives.

Liz Harvey

Joy of Living

It's daytime again.

The long dark night is over and joyfully LIZ HARVEY rushes out of doors to lap up the bright sunshine.

What fun. Larks are in the sky and dew on the grass. The ice cream man is just setting out with a tinkle of silvery bells.

The postman is delivering electric light bills. The next-door canary has just laid an egg.

Liz is loving every moment.

Away in the woods the forestry man has just bent his chopper in an attempt to get the better of a scheduled oak. The bus is picking up schoolchildren and Billy Barker is trying to sit next to Lulu Herringbone. Lulu is eating an apple she was going to save until lunchtime.

It's all fun.

Liz lives in Bournemouth. Liz is entrancingly curvy. Liz is full of the joys of living.

Anyone feel like being miserable?

Go and join Billy Barker then. He finished up sitting next to a market gardener carrying a case of onions. Freddy Blueberry pinched the seat next to Lulu and shared her apple with her. By the way, these photographs of Liz were taken when the daylight had gone all dark.
