calling for different types one day they may need a pardon me but are you you listening what's that oh oh oh yes yes sorry I guessed my mind was wandering seems to be a common habit here I thought perhaps you might be interested in looking at some of these scrapbooks and seeing how the various girls are listed as I said photographers and illustrators are always looking for different types one day they may need a blonde and then a brunette or perhaps their assignment calls for a short dark girl or a tall slender one many of the most successful girls aren't necessarily good-looking but have special features of unusual form and Beauty a beautiful head of hair perfectly formed hands or legs correctly spaced eyes and even white teeth are features for which many of these outstanding models are noted nice work if you can get it here's someone who can give you a lot of information he's a photographer assigned to do the cover for the new issue of friends magazine glad to know you yeah you
