This edition of GI asks a question of the reader: How sensual Are
You? Readers are asked to allocate points to each girl in the
issue, although no scoring criteria is given. All that you then have
to do is tot up your points and compare the result against a checklist.
As an example, a total of 220 for the 20 girls on offer tells us that
you are depressingly normal.
This month's cover girl is London born Diane Valli. Diane also takes
the centre area of the magazine, which discusses the sensuality of the
belly. Hers is described as the type that some delight to see, rising
from the pubic region in a gently swelling curve.
A lovely full page colour picture of a wet and shivering Brandy
Williams, complete with snorkle and goggles lifted, introduces the
question, Are goose pimples sexy? The article suggests that
the instinct of the male is to cosset her back to warmth and comfort.
As warmth floods back to her body it will promote a sensual feeling
in her to match his own desires. Well, that's the theory anyway.
In The stimulus of accessories, we find blonde Carole Catkin
demonstrating a variety of boots and stockings, and there follows a
discussion around the sensuality of various parts of the legs and
feet and the stimulus of their various coverings.
Silks satins and the luxury lovers is a pictorial representation
of the antics that went on in the court of Louis XIV and XV. In
particular, the pretence of engaging the charms of two women at once
and the pleasures of being disrobed and handled by them to produce a
sexual satisfaction from the forcable seduction by one or both.
Next, in a pleasant change from the puty look, we're treated to the
beaming smile of brown haired blue eyed ex-Canadian Wanda Liddel.
The opening paragraph of The Sensual Look states of women, A
rare few, whatever their physical type, appeal to all men. Most can
call on enough to stimulate many men. Every girl has sufficient to
provoke the sensualities of one man. The featured model, Sylvana,
is supposed to possess the universality of sensual appeal arresting
enough to command an immediate response from most men. Certainly,
my immediate response was to wonder how the editors could pick such a
foul looking woman to demostrate the sensual look? The article
goes on to break Sylvana down feature by feature in an attempt to
demonstrate its meaning. Much is made of her glossy black and
luxurious hair which we are supposed to have the desire to stroke,
but the pictures convey a wild and wirey mop (not unlike a couple of
horses tails) that should be handled only with gardening gloves.
Neither does the curling red lick of her tongue heighten the desire to
taste. Not only is its slug-like appearance unwelcome in itself, but
it also accentuates the flabbyness of her chin(s). Thankfully no
mention is made of her full breasts, whose areolas are so lumpy as to
be easily mistaken for a pair of Mr Kiplings pie crusts.
Although still making overtures around the monthly theme, the
second half of the magazine is a little more model orientated.
Gilda Parsons is described as a typical English 18yo from rural
Warwickshire. Tall, slim with long blonde hair, she is one of the
highlights of the edition, but he have seen her somewhere before!
Check out the photos of Penelope Massingham-Brown in Souvenir
Edition No.2 and you'll see what I mean. Its just as well then, that
she is followed up by the lovely figure of American waitress Ginger
Morrison (see link below). A fine selection of girls close out the
issue, including 22yo Nina James from Ilford, Essex, sporting a severe
styling of her luxurious black hair and an impressive 37-23-37 figure
on her 5'8" frame. Another beautiful girl from the home counties
follows, although Berkshire's Sue Mason is of more diminutive
proportions than Nina. The picture of Sophie Vinay on the back cover
is another from the soon to be widely exploited session that produced
the set first shown in the previous edition of GI, but is nevertheless
a magnificent photograph.
Just four letters appear in From You To Us this time, all on
the subject of breast size. One reader states that it is not size that
is important, but proportion and projection, a point upon which the
editor agrees. The other readers who've written in, simply want the
kind of big busty girls that GI used to proudly flaunt in the late 60s.
One in particular requests a picture of Janet Webb (of Morecambe and
Wise fame) in hotpants, and is duely obliged. Another, giving an
unlikely story about booking a 14yo model with 43-21-34 proportions
for a glamour session, wants to see more of the same and unsuprisingly
isn't obliged. So ends one of the rather more unusual editions of
GI.
