British fetish magazine. With a cartoon serial called The Adventures of Delia, Episode 7 by Aubrey Lamonte. Includes letters from readers covering a range of subjects and interests including female underwear, heels, skirts, and up skirt views, with writers discussing knickers, panties, nylons, high heels, corsets, anklets, jewelry, cosmetics, hobble skirts, lace, garters, and more. Janine's illustrations reflect the contents of the letters. This was the first issue to feature a cover by Gene Bilbrew.

Utopian Press was initially set up to publish science fiction pamphlets but the editor, Benson Herbert, had a taste for the more exotic side of publishing, with many of the covers featuring pin-up style art work. Herbert eventually concentrated his efforts on producing saucy magazines. Herbert found a niche in the fetish market, with the first Fads and Fancies being published as a supplement in Sporty Stories (January 1950). Fads and Fancies continued as a supplement in his other monthlies until June 1950, when it was published in its own right for the first time.
