I met my wife Elizabeth when, straight after leaving school, she started work as a junior clerk, at the bank where I was a cashier. She was sixteen and I was 20. We began dating seven weeks later, got engaged three months after that, and got married less than a month after her nineteenth birthday. During that time she rapidly moved up the bank's promotional ladder and, shortly after turning 21, she was appointed senior cashier at the bank's Richmond (Surrey) branch. In those days Richmond was one of the smaller/quieter suburban branches.
One day, not long after her appointment at Richmond, she was manning one of the tills when the editor of 'Girl Illustrated' magazine came in to get change for a parking meter. He got chatting to her and eventually invited her to do a shoot for his publication. He explained that he 'shot' many of the girls featured in the magazine, himself.
A couple of weeks after that fateful meeting, in response to his invitation, we arrived at his flat in Waller Road, S.E. London. There, after an informal chat and a glass of wine to calm her inhibitions, and with considerable encouragement and reassurance from us both, it was time for Elizabeth to get ready. Recognising her embarrassment, the editor made himself scarce, going into his kitchen and leaving Elizabeth to disrobe in the relative privacy of his lounge.
With much hesitation, nervous fumbling, both with the zip of her dress and her bra clip, and with considerable reluctance to remove her knickers, Elizabeth was eventually ready for when the editor returned to begin the shoot. However, when he did return it took him some minutes to persuade her to move her hands to her sides and reveal her crotch.
Although Elizabeth was never interested in becoming a professional model and remained a full time bank official, this was the first of many magazine shoots she did over the next 18 to 20 years. However, this very first ('Girl Illustrated') magazine shoot was the only one for which, at the request of the editor, she agreed to shave her pubic hair. In all her subsequent magazine appearances she is exhibiting her natural, dark pubic triangle. These are a couple of the photos the G.I. editor shot (with more to come).
Her full history can be found on my album: Elizabeth H★★★★n bank manager + housewife + mother (+ 'girlie' mag model).
