‘The Shrimp 9 Model
Brought On Changes
By GAY PAULEY
NEW YORK (UPl)—The pho
tographer took one look at the
face of the girl and told her,
“You stay that way and I can
use you.”
The photographer was Lon
don’s David Bailey. The girl
was London’s Jean Shrimpton,
with her long and straight ash
blonde hair, the fair skin
without makeup, the dreamy
blue-gray eyes, the leggy figure
(“five feet nine or 10 Inches . . .
about 130 pounds”).
The time: Seven years ago.
“I was right out of the
country,” says Jean Shrimpton,
now 25. “Sort of scruffy and
useless. But I hit at a time
when the magazines were ready
for somehting else. The stiff
model type had had it.
“You either had to be so far
out of reach, like a Garbo, or
else someone people could
identify with. I was lucky on
looks. I’m really very ordina
ry.”
Well, “the Shrimp,” as this
model has become known
internationally, is being overly
modest. Her features are quite
night to perfection although she
faults her nose—“lt sort of goes
up in the air, but I can’t worry
about it.”
“Flawless beauty would be
dull, don’t you think?” she said.
And who’s to argue with the
thinking behind the face of the
girl who has become one of the
most sought-after models in the
highly-specialized business of
photography for advertisements
and editorial space.
Miss Shrimpton commands
what probably is the highest fee
paid any model—sl2o an hour.
The standard rate in New York
for those facing cameras is S6O.
“I really raised the rate so
I’d get fewer assignments; not
have to work so hard,” she
said. “Seven years (of model-
IT’S NEW — TIIE BODY SHIRT

ing) is a long time. I’m a bit
tired. Modeling means travel
and nice money and new things
and interesting people. But
there’s nothing much to sitting
there while a camera goes
click-click.”
Now, she’s taken on a
different assignment, a long
term promotion for hair cosme
tics for Yardley of London.
Miss Shrimpton’s career be
gan “because I didn’t want to
go to a university and I was fed
up with asking father, for
money.” She is one of three
children.
Her first work was with
Bailey, who like “the Shrimp”
now is highly successful. Then,
when she came to the United
States to do an assignment for
British Vogue, she met Richard
Avedon and her association with
the man who has photographed
most of the world’s beauties has
been a long one also.

t POLLY’S POINTERS
Bathroom Tiles
DEAR POLLY — Please tell
Augusta to have a professional
tile setter remove the soap dish
and tumbler holder in her bath
room. We tried doing this our
selves and cracked several sur
rounding tiles. When we finally
called the man who had first til
ed our bathroom he said there
is no way for an inxperienced
person to remove them. We cer
tainly learned the hard way.—
ANN
DEAR POLLY — We often
think plastic-backed tablecloths
are useless when they have st
ains and small holes. When mine
are no longer nice enough to use
on the kitchen table, I put them
on the small children’s beds, un
der the mattress cover, with the
flannel side toward the mattress.
This is better than a rubber
sheet or plastic cover as the fl
annel keeps it from slipping
out of place. Thanks for a won
derful column. — JUDITH
And thank you for helping to
make the column what it is. —

DEAR POLLY — Our ther

DEAR POLLY — Not being
very adept at working a cookie
press I hit upon the idea of for

small balls and using fancy-bot
tomed sauce dishes, tumblers
and even large fancy buttons pr

pretty cookies.
If you subscribe to several
magazines, it is a good idea to
keep a record of expiration da

magazine and discovered that I
had originally paid for two ye

I might have paid had I not had
such a list. — HELEN
