Two more pictures from one of my favourite models strolling in the countryside on a chilly misty day. What a great shot – leg up against the fence, stockings flashing and her top off revealing her white bra. Lovely.
For days that I am not posting, why not check out Tocofans’ blog? It’s full of great content, offering fascinating insights into past models and the current scene. It’s definitely worth a look. (Link to Blog)
Great picture of two popular models. What’s not to like? It’s so typically ToCo and quite bizarre. Skirts, if you can call them that, flesh-tone tights, white boots. Bonet up on the Vauxhall while the girls each have the end of a piece of string threaded through something in the engine.
I often wonder if these things were planned, but am convinced that they were not; it was always just whatever came to mind and what was to hand at the time.
Did Nicola and Marie leave the house like that or change when they got to the location? The mind boggles.
Directoire knickers are a divisive item. Personally, I think it depends on who’s wearing them. Liz looks absolutely stunning in them, so I’d say girls, as the weather cools down, why not surprise your partner with a pair of your favourite big knickers? You might just find a repressed Directoire fan in your midst.
I’m not sure if these pictures were ever published in a magazine. Martina looks as lovely as ever in her Hot Pants suit (remember them?), but the background is quite strange. It makes you wonder if they were taken with ToCo in mind or if they were simply bought in. Honestly, I’m not sure what to make of them.
More crossed suspenders, this time on Marilyn Ward. Liz seems to be pointing them out to us, and Ken Howard, who I presume took these pictures, as this was definitely something he liked to see. Personally, I’m not a fan, but Liz looks absolutely fabulous in her thigh-high boots with suspenders attached.
Oh, I just can’t decide. How about a takeaway and some fun and games on the sofa? Enough said!
Nicola on the sideboard, the back of the sofa. We see it all the time in ToCo pictures. The ones that really amuses me is when they are sat on top of the telly, not something that is possible nowadays.
Who wouldn’t, though, want a Nicola sat on the sideboard, black stockings, white knickers, white boots, and a short dress? Far better than just about anything else you might find on a sideboard normally.
Crossed suspenders were a Ken Howard signature look, and we’ve seen it in other models he photographed, including Marilyn Ward, with whom Nicola was close. These are two lovely bedroom pictures of Nicola taken after dark, with lights on and curtains open – neighbours, perhaps.
Some history about Ken Howard can be found here. I understand he’s still around, but now in his nineties, he won’t recognise or talk about his past.
That’s the name I have, but the name Dot Bailey doesn’t appear in my ToCo model data records. The pictures I have are verified to have come from ToCo, and the studio setting looks familiar. So, were these never published, or was another name used? I’m not sure. If more information can be shed on the origins of these pictures, that would be great.
She certainly looks very serious, and it’s difficult to tell if she’s enjoying herself. She certainly wouldn’t make my top 100, sorry Dot.
Two lovely pictures of Ingrid and Lowra posing in front of the Vauxhall. All dolled up in their white boots, tan tights, and wearing their knickers over the top of their tights, which was quite fashionable and more normal in the 1970s. Notice that the car number plate has been hidden with a blanket. Classic ToCo.
Angela looks simply wonderful in her clean and simple underwear, ready for the day ahead.
I like this set of pictures. I do think, though, it’s got a lot to do with the boots that Liz is wearing. Having spent some time cleaning these pictures up, you get to look at them more closely than you might otherwise do, and I do think that Liz is a good-looking woman. Having looked back through her gallery in more detail, she still does it for me, boots or not.
Heather, the gorgeous Miss Lovely Legs, looks absolutely stunning posing for her husband next to what I assume is their house. Lucky fella.

Nicola Taylor, all dolled up in her black stockings and wonderful white boots, relaxing in the front room. You don’t see many girls in white boots these days, which is a shame, I say. What do you think about white boots?
Maureen I believe made a living from her photo shoots. I’ve come across pictures of her everywhere, and she was certainly available for camera clubs and private shoots. She only appeared eight times in ToCo. She wasn’t afraid to remove her top and often wore slightly more revealing clothing. Maureen was undoubtedly very attractive and I’m sure a lot of fun to be around.
