hi, my name is julie and i was miss pears 1961. there were 63,000 entrants that year and the prize money was £500.

i was only 3 years old and the format of the competition was to see how photogenic the children were in order to offer a years advertising contract.

a single photo was submitted and one finalist was chosen from each of 6 regions in the uk.

in my year we were invited to southampton docks where the final judging took place on board the ss andes.

I met several stars and celebrities of that time who attended this prestigious event and the crowning took place, performed by the previous miss pears.

over the years we have been invited back to several of the anniversaries, ie 18th, 21st, 25th, and 30th, and had a marvelous couple of days of partying at each reunion.

as for me, i am now 50 years old and have my own little pear-drop but sadly she won't be able to enter the competition as it finished 10 years ago.

it has given me some lovely memories with hundreds of photos to look back on, and yes of course i still use pears soap!

Summary: a fresh natural product that hasn't been adulterated over the years, just like me!
