Back in July 1960, a men’s magazine called Scamp did a pictorial imagining the tube girl.
“Bottled beauties, tasteful and decorative and the product is easy to see.” A real example of postwar ingenuity, no?
“There is a market for them certainly.”
The model on the right is hard to identify. Sue Caution? Sui Caution? Siri Caution? Anyway, she’s more of a “cocktail shaker” girl.
“Watch out for that canny canning industry” sound pretty damn ominous if you ask me, even if that is itself an interesting cue to the imagination.
Thanks to Bacchus at Erosblog for the hat-tip on this unusual bit of men’s entertainment.
The whole issue of Scamp for July 1960 is available to read and download at the Internet Archive.
“The latest thing in cocktail shakers; no suburban bar is complete without one. Stirrer is exotic dancer Siri. Caution – Don’t shake!”
“Siri” is her name*, and “Caution” is part of the next sentence.
*she is likely a burlesque dancer called “Siri, the Dutch Doll”

OK, *now* iWant an iPhone if that’s Siri.
Puts on some Mike Oldfield, “Tubular Belles.”
That comic page was exactly what came to mind when reading about the “canny canning industry”
