There was a thread about her on my other forum, where the point was made that she was not a glamour-puss, unlike the pulchritudinous
Anne Shelton, but was pretty in a toothy, wholesome, girl-next-door kind of way. Shelton and others were the glamorous young women the young soldiers, sailors and airmen would wank themselves to sleep with fantasies of, but Vera was the girl they wanted to marry. When she appeared with the Spice Girls in the 90s, she suggested that she should be called Old Spice.
