This rare 1969 issue of New Action Ms serves as a fascinating specimen of the vintage British glamour and adult entertainment industry during the late sixties. Featuring the striking Carmen Ortez on the cover—noted as the iconic Come Play With Me girl—this publication captures a specific transition in UK media toward more daring and candid editorial styles.

Beyond the bold cover imagery, the magazine offers a unique window into regional social interests of the era with authentic readers letters originating from Southend, Exeter, and Dundee, providing a grounded look at its contemporary British audience. The issue includes a variety of narrative features and lifestyle articles with intriguing titles such as Angela Takes A Lover, Womans Hour, and Irresistible Irma. For collectors and historians of adult periodicals, this installment is a prime example of the Action series which combined provocative photography with serialized stories and reader interaction.

Its cultural relevance lies in its unvarnished portrayal of the period’s underground press and the rising prominence of glamour models like Ortez who became staples of the genre.
