Look He “American women have been growing steadily more per- fect in men’s eyes, because they are discarding artifice wel when the high pompadours were reality and naturalness.” It used to be, says Armstrong, that finding a calendar girl model was a big order—so many girls spoiled their natural ' beauty with too much makeup, bizarre, unflattering clothes and sophisticated poses. But today it is different. strong, called “the pappy of 165 calendar girls,” can find in many | girls exactly the type of beauty he is looking for: vivacious, spon- taneous, full-blossomed loveliness coupled with a well-proportioned figure and lustrous hair, The modern girl is all of that and more, he feels sure. Why compare the trend in womanhood and calendar ap- peal? Armstrong says it is be- cause the secret of his girl cal- endars these 20 years has been that he drew them to please men, not women.

Armstrong always has painted his girls with long bobs even “the rage”. He prefers brunettes anes he thinks they have more ,sparkle than their blonde sisters. Usually his girls are vivacious five-feet-two misses, but height makes little difference if the girl ! en discovered that a man’s idea lis the well-rounded type who has |man- appeal.
