Time To Relax

It’s been a hard day and it’s time to relax, shoes off, feet up.

Sassy Minx

Another two pictures from our Sassy Minx. I can’t keep my eyes off that electrical cable, though, running between her legs, and it looks like it’s even been repaired with some insulation tape. 1970s-style health and safety.

Maple Leaf Studios - Folkestone - Kent

I have recently put up for sale a small selection of prints on the Brazen site that originated from Maple Leaf Studios in Folkestone. These prints have attracted quite a bit of attention, with a few people contacting me to fill in some gaps with extra information. I like these pictures, and I am sure in there time they must have been quite popular.

What I Know or Don’t Know

I am told that Linda was the big star of Maple Leaf Studios, and I am also reliably informed that she was the photographer’s wife or partner. It must have been nice to keep it in-house that way. I do have other very similar-looking prints that could have possibly been produced and sold by Maple Leaf Studios. It would be helpful to have some clarification on this, especially if you ever bought prints from Maple Leaf Studios.

I have scanned a very poor photocopy of the information that would have been sent out if you responded to their advertisements, which I am told used to appear in the back pages of Fiesta and Escort. I have extracted the text from that sheet to make it more readable; it's hard to believe that they actually sent out such poor copies to potential customers.

Prints

I have scanned what I have and will be making some of them available as improved 5” x 7” reprints on the Brazen site if you'd like to indulge in a bit of nostalgia. I am keen to acquire more of these prints and am willing to pay well for them. Alternatively, I'd be happy to arrange exchange reimbursement if that would work better for you. Contact Me

More Information

As always, if you have any more information on Maple Leaf Studios or the models, please take the time to comment below or contact me directly so that I can keep things updated.

Airing Cupboard Surprise

What a surprise it would be to find Annette French in your airing cupboard! Annette's expression is fantastic; surely she must be in the top ten of most ToCo fans.

From an original print.
