Print Collection - Mystery Model

Stephanie Works In TV

Stephanie, it says, works in TV—who knows. What I do know is that she is a pretty girl who I am sure would have been very popular in front of the camera or behind the scenes. Scanned pictures from the 1970s.

Print Collection - Liza

Works At The launderette

Liza works at the laundrette; that's what it says on the back of the print. Do you think those were her work clothes? Just imagine Liza stretching, bending, and giving little glimpses of her stocking tops—fantastic, that's what I say.

Mystery Model

Two nice pictures of the same girl, one with stockings and one without. Both are very sexy, but which do you prefer?

Print Collection - Undine

Undine

I think Undine is an unusual name, so I looked it up. Originating in Latin, Undine is a girl's name meaning "little wave" or "of the waves." It derives from the Latin word unda, meaning "wave," and is the name attributed to mythological water spirits. More commonly known as undines, these water nymphs appear across modern-day literature. Well, I certainly think this Undine looks like a little nymph posing for us with a toy gun in her black stockings. 

Scan from a 1970s print.

Maureen Stocks

Maureen Stocks

In November, I posted some pictures from some transparencies I have, and it was determined that they were actually of Maureen Stocks. However, I was puzzled as to why Boots The Chemist had developed them. After some background conversations with friends, it became clear that Maureen Stocks had been very active on the amateur camera club circuits. These transparencies were possibly taken by an amateur who belonged to a club for which Maureen might have been paid to pose. I imagine this particular member had his slides developed by Boots The Chemist. It's always nice to solve a little puzzle.
The set of pictures below is from Span No. 236 - April 1974, accompanied by the ToCo Mumbo Jumbo below them.

How Lovely

Maureen is such a corker of a dolly that no one can see enough of her, as they say. She lives down by the River Thames, which just keeps gurgling gently by her back door. She can fish from her large patch of lawn if she likes, and she has, in fact, been known to cast her line in first thing Saturday morning and fish all through the weekend until Monday morning.

That makes about 48 hours of continuous fishing. And as she's never caught a thing, is this a record?

Print Collection - Lynn

Lynn Emery

Lynn Emery is a pretty, dark-haired girl giving us a glimpse of what she has under her skirt. These photos are from the 1970s they have just her name on the back.

Michelle - Private Collection

Michelle

It's always a delight to see Michelle. Here are two candid pictures of her in the studio, looking relaxed and thoughtful, and adjusting her stockings.

Brighton Girl - Private Collection

Brighton Girl

Here are two interesting pictures of our nameless girl from Brighton. Both pictures are oddly posed, with her messing about in the middle of the dining room table. These two were difficult to clean up due to their poor exposure, but worthy of showing. I like them; and look like a lot of fun was to be had.

Joan Young

Old-Fashioned Dolly

Salesgirl JOAN YOUNG of Droitwich works in a gown shop and sells the most exclusive and expensive models to utterly rich customers. Joan is smart, elegant and deliciously tailored herself, but she's also old-fashioned. She simply won't be divorced from what she considers the irresistible look of stockings, even if she's thought positively dated.

She's not positively dated. She's delicious. And we agree. Stockings still have an irresistible look and an undying appeal. So there. Anyone for an anti-tights protest march? Starting from Glasgow and going all the way to Westminster? Well, get yourselves organised, then.

Pat Garland

There’s Many A Slip

Matrons sometimes wear full slips these days. Girls either wear brief waist slips or simply wear their T-shirts extra-long. PAT GARLAND still has a full flowered slip which she likes to sport when dressed in a long evening gown and there's going to be a draught around.

Pat put it out to air in the sun the other day. As a nice gesture in the face of our camera, she put herself out with it. Wasn't that charming?

Maureen - Private Collection

Maureen

Here are two more nice shots of Maureen in her black stockings. I particularly like the first one, where she's re-clipping her stockings, unaware of the camera. In the 1960s and 70s, this was not such an uncommon sight on a day-to-day basis. Boys today don’t really know what they're missing. Always a treat.

Jane Paul

Model Mechanic

Scots secretary JANE PAUL is also a model mechanic. Not that she knows very much about internal combustion as far as cars are concerned, but she does model in her spare time, and they often use her to advertise the mechanical perfection of the latest thing on four wheels.
They put her in ducky overalls next to the open bonnet.
We didn't think you'd go much on any overalls, however ducky, so here she is in a rather feminine skirt and a nice pair of stocking tops.
