Another random picture from the internet, and I have no idea of its origins, but I like it. Five girls are playing what I guess is supposed to be strip poker. When looking at pictures, I often try to think about the moment the picture was taken, and this one must have been quite a lot of fun, I am sure. If anybody knows more about it, then it would be good to hear from you directly or via a quick comment.
A pretty blonde with what we were once allowed to call wolf-whistle appeal. The very antithesis of Vogue front page on the one hand and Sun PageThree on the other, ToCo books were born with her in mind. She was that ubiquitous doe-eyed, leggy sweetie from Number 74 Acacia Drive of just about any town in the UK.
As it won't be long before LYNN REMMER leaves college to take a job in the humming corridors of commerce, she thought she'd have a practice run round the offices of the firm which has promised her a lucrative nine-to fiver with prospects.
Lynn didn't actually do any work, she just wanted to make contact with the atmosphere, but her presence brightened up the files no end.
The general duties junior, Herbert, can hardly wait for her to take up her position as Mr. Mortimer's assistant sales secretary, which means that Lynn will have to watch Herbert.
Herbert will certainly be watching Lynn.

Yorkshire bird GLORIA GENE is well in trim for what makes a feller turn his head, even if he's out with his wife.
Yup, Gloria is well in trim with vitalistics of 37-24-36, and those kind of inches mean curves that will stop the seaward traffic on any beach. Well, who wants to mess about with all that water when one can lie around and look at Gloria?
We couldn't get her on a beach because of the weather, but we did get her out of her Leeds office to shoot a couple of shots of her in the tea-room. How about that, then?

I can't imagine a more enticing way to kick off the month than with a collection of captivating pictures featuring the incredibly alluring Jennifer Taylor.
There's nothing quite like the healthy virility of girls who run a mile round the farm before breakfast each morning. Into the farmhouse kitchen they leap at the end of it, all glowing and flushed and ready to eat a horse.
"So that's what happened to poor old Dobbin," said JENNIFER TAYLOR, our newest girl on the go. (She's a Go- Go girl, actually, and you can't be more on the go than that).
"Just don't think about it," we said, "then it won't hurt.'
We didn't want anything to put Jennifer off looking beautiful. She had just finished a lovely run round the Gloucester farm herself and was all glowing and rosy in her eye-catching undies.
"I'm starving," she said. So would anyone be after all that exercise and being so young and vital and all.
"All right, Go and enjoy your breakfast, then."
What, at one o'clock in the afternoon?" said Jennifer, ever so entrancingly shapely at 39-25-36. "You've gone cuckoo or something." We've gone cuckoo for sure. So will you when you see all these lovely shots of Jennifer around the farm.

Another superb unpublished picture of Helen Milligan from the Field Day set of pictures used in Beautiful Britons No. 118, September 1965. Helen is seen having fun in a dilapidated old building on what appears to be a typical grey, cold English day. This particular picture, taken from a contact sheet, had a pen strike across it, presumably indicating that it was not to be used. I believe it is a great picture; Helen looks lovely with her hair beautifully pinned up. Thanks to Tocofan, for providing the picture.
Well, not all of us hogged the fireside during the recent snow blitz. Some of us took off from our armchairs to participate in winter sports. Like CATHERINE SMALL of Glasgow, for instance. It takes more than a ten-foot drift to beat a bonny Scot, especially one who's found a toboggan in her attic.
Maybe if she could have found ski trews as well, Catherine would have been a little better equipped all round, except that the frills and spills in the snow wouldn't have looked as gay as they do here.
But what do you do with a wet skirt? All that snow may look like a dazzling platform to fairyland, but once you've rolled in it you find its pretty damp stuff.
Well, never mind-when you're wet, you're wet, so here we go for another spill.

It doesn't need the heavyweight champion of the world to put you down for the count. A girl who's never been in the ring in her life can do it. A girl like MAGGIE BLYE, for instance, who doesn't even know about boxing gloves, can do it to us as well as you. Less than three years ago Maggie was a college co-ed. Now this sizzling honey blonde is playing in her third big motion picture, co-starring with Europe's own knockout, Marcello Mastroianni. According to the studio, the film "Diamonds For Breakfast' features Maggie as a cat burglar and Marcello as a sophisticated heart-throb, and when they meet it's a mutual knock-out.
You can visualise the sensational sizzle of Maggie the booted burglar, but if you can't it's probably because you've got tonsilitis. Have you seen your doctor?
Beautiful Britons No 156 - November 1968
Great picture of the very lovely Helen Milligan that was not published but taken from a set of pictures that were used twice. The original set was used in Beautiful Britons No. 118 (September 1965) entitled Field Day, with the remainder of the pictures being used in Spick No. 265 (December 1975) with that set entitled Oh You're Looking Good. This picture was not used in either set. The negative had a pen strike through it, which I have removed.
Very typical of Helen with the frilly petticoat that she was seen wearing in many pictures. Many thanks again to Tocofan for providing the negative.
Great picture of Vicki Munro enjoying herself in the countryside while providing us with some great shots of her fancy stockings and black knickers. Many thanks to Tocofan for another fine contribution.
Out for the pleasure of knocking a ball about, HELEN MILLIGAN is a fashion model and RUTH CAVENDISH is training to become one, so you could say these two sporting lovelies wield a very fashionable forehand.
Both girls are Scots and the reason why they're equipped with racquets but not with tennis outfits is because the summer hasn't arrived in Scotland yet. The grass is still wet and boots still the answer.
But even a boot can fill up with water if you sink it far enough into a watery ditch, and all you can do then if you're a wet-footed Ruth is to get Helen to pull it off for you.
Time out for just sitting and doing nothing except, of course, looking long-legged and cute. There's no doubt that two bonny Scots make an even better picture than one.

Going wild about the swinging whizz of Britain's mini fashions is West Berlin, and symptomatic of West Berlin's British look is model. SUZANNE ROQUET.
Beautiful Britons No 135 - February 1967
Very snugly ensconced in a cosy corner of the lounge is ANNE SCOTT, and there's no one who can decorate a cosy corner quite as photogenically as this lovely lady. Wearing her warm longs, Anne subscribes to the view that comfort is all-embracing when the last breezes of fading winter still blow chill.

Lisa Scott is, without a doubt, an absolute smasher and she always holds a spot in my top 5 ToCo girls. This great shot, which I believe has not been seen before, is from a set that was published in Spick No 185 in April 1969. A big shoutout and thanks to Tocofan for sharing this rare gem. I'm curious, who would make it into your top 5 ToCo girls?
Alice, Where Art Thou?
I'm cleaning up the little home, mother (says ALICE RICHMOND). And sure, enough there she was with a sweeper in her hand and going great guns over the floor in her bikini outfit.
Well, the bikini kept Alice cool all the way through but she slipped up when she gave that floor such a polish, which indicates how much better it is to do your chores wisely but not too well.
