/Small Adjustments
Remember those days when small adjustments were made at home or in public? It’s very rare to see such little delights on a regular basis these days. Progress, I’m not so sure.

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.
No stockings or underwear on show here. Just a great picture of a very pretty Lisa Scott out and about on a grey winter’s day.
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.
Miss McCully has a fabulous bottom! What do you think she’s thinking with that expression on her face? Over to you.
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.
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.
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.
Washing up blues, not with Melanie stood next to you looking like that.
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 looks simply wonderful in her clean and simple underwear, ready for the day ahead.
Three more fabulous pictures of Maria flashing her stocking tops as she messes about in the front of a car. Nothing better than a stocking top glimpse as a skirt or dress rides up in the front seat of a car.
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.
The Goodman sisters, a pair of lovelies from Swansea, flashing their delights. Gaynor is on the left; they were almost always seen together and only appeared a few times in the early 1960s.
