Vintage Stuff: Rootes Group Review

About Vintage Stuff

The aim of Vintage Stuff is to display some of the ephemera that I have collected, often inadvertently, over the years. I am now deliberately seeking out interesting old adverts, screen shots, leaflets, obscure record covers, picture postcards and illustrations; anything that catches my eye, in fact. They will be mainly, but not exclusively of UK origin (so many vintage blogs appear to be American) and almost always a scan from something that I actually have in my collection, rather than off the net. If you do re-blog, please acknowledge the source. Further stuff, mainly photographs, can be found on my Flickr pages, via the Benny Hill record cover.

Mala Powers

In the 1950s, you were never far from a pin-up, even in the more mundane publications. This is Mary Ellen Powers (1931-2007) in the May 1952 issue of the Rootes Group Review magazine, apparently modelling a bloomer playsuit. She acted in many US films from the age of ten, until 2002.
