"Letter From London" 16 Magazine May, 1965. CHEERS! (Sabrina Note: Just to state the obvious, do not try mailing to the address above. Its long past declined, as the article IS from 1965. Thank you.) Di Dixon of Detroit wants to know if I do any other modeling apart from fashion in magazines. I surely do. I've had some nice commercials on television. If the company likes your commercial, they keep it running and you get extra money each time it is shown. It adds up rather nicely, too! Mary Lillian Conover of Brewton, Ala., wants to catch up on the latest styles for the kids in England. You can find out lots about that on Page 38, but here is a bit of news from me: straight, simple, smok-type dresses are the rage. I'm still wearing trouser suits, though they are supposed to be out! All the girls are cutting their hair short that's for sure. I just don't know what to do about mine. Karen Meeks of St. Albans, W.Va., wants to know about driving a car in England. You can go for your driving test when you are 17. While you are learning, a competent driver must be with you and your car must bear a license plate with the letter L on it for learner. As you know, English cars have the steering wheel on the right, and we drive on the left side of the road. Another very popular question I find in my mail is the one that asks how I make my eyes look so big. Carol Castler of Cloversville, N.Y., was one of those who asked for eye make-up tips. I put on several coats of mascara, but before I do this I draw a line in black eyebrow pencil across my eye lids at the roots of my eyelashes. I don't curl it up at the end, like most girls do. I extend it slightly out and downward, as that looks best on me. A sweet letter from Carol Luluy of Rochester, N.Y., asks whether I'm going to do any more film work. I just don't think I'm cut out to be an actress and that is frank! I am going to just concentrate on becoming a very good model. Judy Zitman of Brooklyn, N.Y., wants to know if I am independent by nature. I'll say I am! I hate relying on others. You won't believe this, but I don't a bit mind making my own travel arrangements and seeing to packing and things. Most girls hate finding out what time they're due at the airport or train station, but not I. Nancy Sambello of Philadelphia, Pa., asks if I am going to visit America. I wrote about this last issue, but it is so important that I will repeat it. I'd just love to visit your country. George Harrison has told me so many great things about it that I can't wait to come over. I hope to get to meet as many of you American teenagers as I can when (and if) I get over. Just time for one more letter now. Charleen Fourzer of Pacoima, Calif., asks if you get individual attention at modeling school. This is one question I must answer from personal experience, though circumstances may vary at different schools. The school I attended had small classes, so the teacher spent time with each of us. She especially concentrated on the girls who were very shy or slow to learn, which was the right thing to do. Lots of girls think you just have to be pretty to be a model, but it is much more important to have a feeling for clothes and a natural gift for wearing them. Ta!
