Men Of A Certain Age & Women Of A Certain Era

Those of us of a certain age will remember the Martini Girl ... “Any Time, Any Place, Any Where”….. that lady was Erica Wills who after a life of adventures in London, the Lebanon and places in between, sadly died fairly recently.

A brief Obituary is available on the web links. It’s hard to find a photo, and this one has replaced my earlier one because an anonymous browser emailed me this one.
 
This prompted me to think about other women of that era (give or take), about whom I had a young man's thoughts ......

Caroline Munroe (Lambs Navy Rum Advert)
Caroline Munroe (Lambs Navy Rum) was another favourite from this era
 
Imogen Hassall (Hammer Movies Actress)
 as well as Imogen Hassall (Hammer Movies)
 
Ingrid Pitt (Hammer Actress Movie Queen)Ingrid Pitt (Hammer Movie Queen) and
 
Valerie Leon (Hi-Karate aftershave and Hammer Movies Actress)

Felicity Kendal Was Rear Of The Year
Felicity Kendal was rear of the year (well it was a more innocent age!)
 
Debbie Harry Singer And Actress

And finally the infinitely fascinating and beautiful Debbie Harry, who is worth two pictures, or more, cos I still think she is 'Fab'.

I guess I could have thought of many more, some Bond Girls spring to mind, but hey this is a blog, not a girlie site ..... so I will leave it at these.

    They were beautiful and mysterious ... cos they weren't showing their chests at the drop of a flash bulb!

    I'm having trouble discerning whether the mis-spelling of "too" in "written by one who thinks we have gone to far accomodating idiots." is intentional & a joke or just a really unfortunate mistake.

    Hey Anonymous .... can't mail to thank you, but I have replaced the Erica Wills picture, and added your story link.

    Many thanks ... Oh, and Oops on the spelling of 'too'. Mea Culpa and lesson on spell checker learnt.
