She's beautiful, and is wearing nothing more than a black satin bra over a more than adequate pair of breasts. She is also 56 and is featured on hundreds of posters across Britain on behalf of the charity Age Concern.
The group has come up with a superb spoof of the Wonderbra advertisement featuring model Pearl Read in a state of undress. The eyes are immediately drawn to her assets - but the poster bears the slogan 'The First Thing Some People Notice is Her Age'.
Age Concern is currently in the middle of a campaign to persuade the British Government to bring in legislation to outlaw age discrimination in the workplace, something it is so far refusing to do, inferring that codes of practice may work better.
The charity could have spent millions on lobbying and advertisements but it would never have achieved anything like the publicity or the level of public debate prompted by this spoof advertisement.
Nobody blinks when a young model 35 years Pearl's junior appears on billboards clad in a similar bra. On my underground train platform is an almost identical ad. But place a stunning 56-year-old grandmother on a hoarding and the publicity is staggering.
The tabloids immediately homed in and discovered a more lurid past - that Pearl had really kept under wraps. Her second husband was a gangland boss involved in drugs, casinos, escort agencies, topless bars and nightclubs. But she traded him in for a life as mistress to the chairman of a football club. Now she lives with a horse trainer, works out every day, enjoys the martial arts and even parachuting.
