Darker Side

Nicola Taylor is undoubtedly a popular model with many ToCo fans. However, I’ve never been particularly drawn to her. Recently, I listed 125 original ToCo prints of her on the Brazen site. Many of these pictures have never been seen in the magazines.

I’ve always thought she has a fairly wholesome look, but I do wonder if she had a darker side. I would have loved to have taken her out for a day to get a real idea of what she was really like.

Throughout the month, I’ll be posting more pictures of Nicola. So, let’s have some opinions. What do you all think about Nicola? Who was she, and was that her real name? She was seen under a few different names, but always stayed within the confines of ToCo.

By my calculations, Nicola would be in her late 80s. She has brought much pleasure to many men, and perhaps a few women as well. Thank you, Nicola.

Jingle Bells

Should have really got this one up nearer to Christmas. Great pictures of Nicola tobogganing in her stockings and suspenders. I am sure any teenage boys’ delight certainly brings another dimension to tobogganing. Nothing like ToCo and there never will be, I am sure.

The tinkling sound of sleigh-bells on a lovely crisp night sound heavenly when heard from the warm comfort of a fireside where you're thawing out your frozen tootsies.

Jingle bells speak of such nights, of snow and slides and toboggans and muffled-up men selling hot chestnuts. In the pure light of a snowy day, you can see for yourself it's not all bells and chestnuts for NICOLA TAYLOR. Toboggans are apt to cannon off tree stumps and deposit you in snow drifts. It's a lot of fun only if you can keep all your discs in place.

Tight Squeeze For Nicola

These two pictures were featured in Span No. 243, during the twilight of ToCo’s run. They were probably taken much earlier, as they were certainly in the business of regurgitating pictures at this time that had not been used from earlier sets. 

There is no mumbo jumbo attached to them; they were just being used to advertise the sale of prints and to fill space. 

Nicola is clearly wearing tights with her knickers over the top, which was more common when tights were starting to become more popular.

Fun In The Sun With Nicola and Joanna

This is another great contribution from Tocofan, and again, believed to be unpublished.

Some of you may know that I am not a big fan of Nicola Taylor, and she certainly would not be anywhere near my top 10. However, I do know that within the ToCo fan base, there is a lot of love for Nicola.

Now, having just said all that, I think she looks absolutely fabulous in this picture. It's a moment captured when both girls are distracted by something in the distance, and Nicola looks relaxed and very pretty indeed. I like the way her cardigan has fallen from her shoulder, and the choker that she is wearing certainly adds to her allure.

Joanna Young did three sets with Nicola Taylor but only ever appeared for ToCo 7 times. I personally don’t think this is a great picture of her. If you have a look at some of the sets on her homepage, you will see a fun side to both of them.

On this particular occasion, I certainly would have been very happy to have taken Joanna's place alongside Nicola for some fun in the sun.

Nicola Taylor – Looking Great

I personally am not a great fan of Nicola Taylor, but she is a popular ToCo model. This picture is courtesy of Tocofan, taken from a contact sheet, and I am not sure if it was ever published. It is, however, a very nice picture of her looking relaxed and natural as she kneels on a rug in a secluded countryside spot or a garden.

How Delightful

We can find no other way of expressing our feelings in respect of NICOLA TAYLOR of Hampshire, who is indeed extremely delightful, no matter whether she's modelling the newest style of mini-skirt or the ultimate in modern lingerie.

Togetherness

It wasn't all that psychedelic, really, just an afternoon out for two rather dishy housewives, MARIE GRAHAM and NICOLA TAYLOR. Nicola, as you'll know, is the one helping herself to a sit-down.

Still, it was a lot of fun. There wasn't really enough room for both of them to take a seat, so they just took turns.

They fell out a bit when Nicola fell off and said, "I didn't actually fall, I was pushed."

"Yes, well," said Marie, "you were taking my turn as well as your own, and my feet hurt after that long walk.'

They compromised at that and managed to share the chair after all. It was amicable togetherness then until Nicola folded Marie up in the perishing thing.

"Help," said Marie, "what shall we do now?" "Go home and get dinner ready for our marital mates," said Nicola.

Some husbands are dead lucky.

Someone Forgot

First of all, if you haven't met them before and you're kicking yourself in consequence, these two Bournemouth dollies are brunette NICOLA TAYLOR and blonde MARILYN WARD.

They went down to the beach for a swim. It was the kind of day that called them to the warm waves. Only when they got there someone had forgotten the bikinis. Nicola meant to remember for both of them but forgot, and Marilyn meant to remind Nicola to remember but she forgot too. Never mind, they looked ever so glam in their best nylons and the sunshine was marvellous.

How Do I Look

Pretty girls are naturally camera-conscious and don't like to be caught when they've just come up from a coalmine. "No, not yet," said MARILYN WARD as NICOLA TAYLOR got her into focus, “the breeze is making me look all windswept,”

“Well, hurry up," said Nicola as Marilyn reversed the process, "I'm getting sand in my shoes, "Say cheese." said Marilyn.

"Oh, blow that," said Nicola, "every time I say cheese, I get sand in my mouth too.

"How do I look now?" asked Marilyn, sitting pretty, "As I gaze intently into the viewfinder," said Nicola, “I can now see what's in it for the photographers. No wonder they like their job."

'Yes, I see what you mean," said Marilyn a minute later, "you look ever so mini-skirted. I say, aren't they lucky, they get paid as well." “I tell you what” said Nicola, "let's go and see if there's any beefcake on the beach - we might get paid for photographing them."

Past and Present

In the past the not-long-ago past-undies were frilly and worn with stockings and suspenders.

For the present it's brevity and tights. NICOLA TAYLOR and MARIE GRAHAM, Hampshire, find the present look extremely comfortable, but how it compares with the past look, illustrated overleaf and elsewhere, is a matter of individual opinion.

"More like ruddy sacrilege,"' said Fred.

What?

"Them tights," said Fred, horrible."

Oh, you're old-fashioned.

"'You want to watch it.' said Fred, "or you'll get ate up by lions, and I hope all them tights get ate up too."

Don't take too much notice of Fred.

Sunshine Snaps

It was one of those lovely days which called for a camera to record what sunshine can do for the subject.

And our glamour girls NICOLA TAYLOR and MARIE GRAHAM took turns to put each other on record and to say 'cheese'. Marie said 'pickles' once and Nicola said it didn't look as good as cheese.

"I know," said Marie, "but when I think of cheese I always think of pickles too."
