Paperback Cover Cavalcade 17: Xaviera Hollander

Xaviera Hollander was a name I came across in a British newspaper back in the 1970s, her name being similar enough to my own surname for it to be memorable. The newspaper report included photographs of a model wearing a short skirt walking through a park. There was a drawstring attached to the back of the skirt which, when pulled, flashed her bare backside, much to the delight of a couple of old guys sitting on one of the park's benches.

I'm guessing this must have appeared in the Sunday Mirror as the Mirror was, for the most part, my Dad's newspaper of choice. What the bum-flash-in-the-park had to do with Xaviera Hollander I don't recall. This is thirty-five plus years ago and that's the memory I have . . . which doesn't mean that it actually happened.

Background on Xaviera Hollander can be found on Wikipedia.
