Maggie McCully
/Cheeky Girl
Miss McCully has a fabulous bottom! What do you think she’s thinking with that expression on her face? Over to you.
Nicola Taylor
/Furniture Siting
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.
Nicola Taylor
/Crossed Suspenders
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.
Dot Bailey
/Dot Bailey - Your a Mystery to Me
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.
Diana Reed and Leslie Peters
/Colourisation
These are two pictures that I posted recently as black and white images. So I thought it might be fun to spend a little time messing about with various software applications that are now available for the colourisation of black and white images.
These two pictures were well received in their original forms, so here they are again but in colour. What do you think? I personally am not that sure; to be honest, I don’t think it adds much, if anything, to the enjoyment of viewing them. Your opinions, gentlemen, are always welcome.
Pam Johnstone
/Country Girl
Pam strips off for us in the wild, and we end up with some wonderful pictures of her crouching next to a tree hidden behind a wall.
Louise Crawford
/Home From Home
Two great pictures of Louise Crawford that come from a ToCo set called “For Want Of A Rocker.” In the set, it states that she is in her mum and dad’s home. What interests me is whether they knew about this and if they knew Louise was flashing her knickers to the world. Alternatively, was this all done in a more clandestine manner when they were out or away? We’ll never know, or it could simply be some ToCo mumbo jumbo.
Regardless of the location, these are great pictures, and it’s hard not to be attracted to Louise. She always has the greatest of smiles, and a smile always draws your attention.
Ann Grainger
/All is Revealed
Ann is definitely a real favourite of mine, although I must admit she’s not a great smiler. Now, what have you got under that skirt, Ann? Well, all is revealed, just a shame the photographer cut her feet off.
Tina Ryatt
/Home Help
Tina, Tina, Tina, please come and clean my house, looking just like that. Always looking immaculate in her black stockings and white underwear.
Ingrid Norsman and Lowra Bruni
/Car Care
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.
Melanie Cooper
/Kitchen Cutie
Washing up blues, not with Melanie stood next to you looking like that.
Tracey Collins
/Negligee Nights
Do women still wear negligées nowadays? Maybe not as much as they used to. What a delight, though, it must have been to see the wife or girlfriend flitting about the house looking like Tracy does.
Bring back the negligée, I say.
Valerie Peters
/Mini Skirt Magic
Valerie Peters, dressed to thrill in a mini skirt and stockings, continues to delight.
Jan Newman
/Steamy Windows
Cars with steamy windows – I’m sure most of us have been there at some point. Jan could certainly steam up a lot of windows looking like that.
Angela Bond
/Just Lovely
Angela looks simply wonderful in her clean and simple underwear, ready for the day ahead.
