Pirelli need congratulating for bold mature approach

WELL done Pirelli for using mature actresses in this year’s edition (“Calendar Girl Helen a Pirelli model aged 71”, August 29).

It’s good that they bucked the trend of only putting pictures of waif-like, page-3 style, nearly naked girls in their calendar.

Pirelli have photographed beautiful women who just happen to be a bit older than the usual models. And the fact they are wearing clothes makes it all the better, proving you don’t have to strip off to be eye-catching. Lynne English, Wickford, Essex
