Lovely Legs

While there aren’t any stockings on display in this set, I couldn’t resist showing Joan Glover’s great legs and wonderful figure. I’m sure those legs would look absolutely stunning in a pair of stockings.

My Sexy Nurse

Jennifer Taylor, another one of my favourites, hails from Bristol, where I grew up. As ever, she looks fabulous in her play nurse’s uniform – black stockings and white heels. Jennifer was a frequent wearer of black stockings and white boots, never subtle, but very much sexy and exciting.

Jennifer always exuded a lot of fun and often dressed as the naughty schoolgirl or, like these pictures, as this sexy nurse. Wouldn’t you have loved to be told to take your medicine or face the consequences, all delivered in that lovely West Country accent?

Nicola Taylor and Marie Graham - Hello Boys

I get to see a lot of pictures every day, and occasionally one just jumps out and really draws you in. In my opinion, this picture is one of those.

It’s just the way both girls are looking directly at the camera that makes it different. If the bottom half of the picture wasn’t visible, it would have a completely different feel. I don’t think ToCo ever published this one. I’ve seen others from the same set where they were slightly more undressed and were possibly sold through Nostalgia Publications back in the day.

Joanna Young - Sitting Pretty

Long-time friend of Nicola Taylor, with the two frequently being seen together. Two nice pictures of Joanna sitting in the shade; she certainly looks comfortable and happy posing for the camera.

Sexy Sofa

I really like this set of pictures taken in front of and on the sofa. What a sofa! A very attractive young woman, dressed in her white stockings and heels, I think from the late 1980s. Surprisingly, no one thought to move the cat from the sofa, which was happily sleeping through the entire set, only waking up for the final picture.

Hayfield Delight

What would you give to spend a few hours frolicking in a hayfield with Julie Marsden? Great pictures scanned from original ToCo prints.

Bedroom Beauty

Two great pictures of Joan Glover relaxing in the bedroom. Scanned from original ToCo prints.

Girls and Cars

Girls posing with cars—what a great combination! I’m sure motor shows from the 1970s and 80s were much more enjoyable than they are now, as there certainly was a lot more to see than just cars.

Fun in Fishnets

Fishnet stockings—I’ve never been able to decide whether I like them or not. I always think they convey something about a girl who decides to wear them out for the day. This 1980s model certainly looks great in them, especially the pink knickers.

Jane Rennie - Scanned Prints Set 2 

Four more scanned prints of Jane Rennie, all taken from the same sitting. She looks absolutely stunning, showing off her dark stockings and white underwear. I estimate that Jane would be around 80 years old now, and about 19 or 20 when these pictures were taken.

Jane Rennie - Scanned Prints Set 1

Four nice pictures of Jane Rennie scanned from original ToCo prints. 

Jane was always dressed to impress, with her hair always up and she was partial to a frilly underskirt. She was a real girly girl, in the best way possible. These pictures show her in a white, long cotton dress, but what really caught my eye was the poodle motif on her left breast pocket. Any suggestions on the poodle?

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.

Dawn Warwick

Dawn Warwick is not a ToCo model name that most of us would be familiar with, and there's a good reason for that: Dawn only had one ToCo appearance, in Spick No. 162. In this appearance, Dawn is in an outdoor shot, half-hidden behind Liz McEwen.

This picture, kindly sent to me by Tocofan, is interesting because it could possibly have been taken somewhere other than the UK. That sideboard does not resemble the sort of furniture typically found in an average UK house in the 1960s, and the partially obscured view behind the net curtains certainly doesn't suggest a typical housing estate. Who knows—we'll probably never find out—but it doesn't really matter, as it's a nice picture and I'm pleased to share it here.
