Vanda Vane-Dotson
/Sitting Pretty
Two nice pictures of Vanda relaxing in her black see-through négligée. Pictures from original prints.

Two more of Valetta from the private collection of negatives, with her giving us a very teasing glimpse of her stocking tops and petticoat. The cameraman was obviously excited by what he saw, as he managed to cut her feet off in both pictures.
Another one from TocoFan. Great picture of a very smiley and relaxed-looking Ruth Cavendish. I am not sure if this picture was ever published, and to be honest, I have not checked. It's certainly worth showing.
Where are you now, Ruth? By my reckoning, you would be 77, still smiling and laughing, I hope.
Here's a super shot of Cherie Scott that I found lurking in a folder. It’s a great picture of a very serious-looking Cherie looking directly at the camera, dressed only in her underwear, flesh-coloured stockings, and white heels. A treat for us all.
Fixing the Mini with Melanie Cooper—another one of these pictures I have lurking on the computer. Again, I am not sure where it came from or if it was used in a ToCo book. It's certainly a nice picture that's well worth sharing.
Another set of digital images that came with the transfer of the Vintage Stockings Archive drives. I have no idea of their origins; any extra information is always welcome and helpful. Most of all, enjoy them.
Three more great pictures of Paula in her spotty dress, which would be more suited to a prom rather than a walk in the countryside. What would you think if you came across them while out walking the dog?
We did give you some shots of MARGARET WADE in our January issue, and berserk readers kept ringing up to ask for more. Well, we found some additional shots of Margaret-indoor pics this time-and here they are. Only this time don't sound so hysterical on the phone.
Just to remind you, Margaret is a receptionist and a lover of the countryside, and if you ever see a horse looking particularly handsome because of its rider, and the location is Sussex, then it could be Margaret out for a gallop over the Downs.
Beautiful Britons No 184 - March 1971
Another three great pictures of our oh-so-sexy and desirable nurse, Paula, messing about in the countryside, with more to come from the same set later this month.
I only have these four pictures of this girl with no name from the private collection of negatives. I am going to call her the "smoking girl." I like her; she has a pretty face and a lovely smile, and as so many of them do, she gives us that knowing look that says, "Look what I might have on offer." Enjoy the pictures from a time that was suggestive, teasing, and just fun.
Life is full of intriguing little surprises.
When we found SAMANTHA BROWN she herself was a delicious surprise, because we were actually looking for a surplus beer barrel in a coopers' yard. We wanted to go over Niagara Falls in it and get our name in the North American papers. Anyway, we couldn't find one comfortable enough, so we gave up and bumped into this delicious surprise, who turned out to be a lovely Hampshire girl.
Samantha provided the intriguing little surprise because we found out that as a pin-up girl, with a particular flair for modelling lingerie, she is also a part-time underwear representative. Yes indeed, what could be more appropriate than that?
Samantha is twenty-five, and a happy housewife with what her husband calls a divine talent for gardening.
Beautiful Britons No 184 - March 1971
When our country cousin Ella came to stay for a week, everything turned into something like the last days of Pompeii. Ella was a great big girl whose main activity on the farm was showing fractious bulls who was the boss. She could eat some of them for lunch. Every window in our house was flung open night and day, and she made the beds like haystacks. She threw out everything she said wasn't healthy, like canned milk and Sunday supplements, and exchanged all our contemporary furniture for chairs and tables made out of obsolete milk churns.
But not everybody's country cousin is like that. PAMELA GASTALL is someone's lovely country cousin from Sussex, and if there's one thing we're certain of she makes her farm milk churns look anything but obsolete. She's a gorgeously sweet seventeen, she's kind to all the bulls and cows, and gallops deliriously o'er the downs on her horse.
How would you like a country cousin like Pam? Don't apply to us, write to Father Christmas-but only if you've been good.
In addition to everything we've already said, Pam's opinion is that the rat race in rural areas is mainly confined to bunnies. You may consider that ridiculous, but if you were a doe and were being chased up hill and down dale by every buck for miles around, what would you think of civilisation?
The question is rather rhetorical. It's merely posed to make you think.
Span No 186 - February 1970
I have a number of interesting sets of digital images that came with the transfer of the Vintage Stockings Archive drives. This is one of them. I have spent a little time cleaning them up a bit but have no idea of their origins, but she does look oddly familiar, any extra information is always welcome and helpful. Most of all enjoy them.
Extremely pretty is FIONA STUART, who comes from Ayrshire and got her creamy complexion from all that Highland air. Fiona has been so popular with readers that we picture her again for all her fans, and if you know any girl who makes a prettier pin-up pic than she does, then you're so lucky you ought to make a large donation to a deserving charity.
Spick No 262 - September 1975
Just bizarre, don't you think? It’s a grey day, and we’re on rough, sloping ground, dressed in a tennis skirt, stockings, suspenders, and white heels. Anyone for a game of tennis? Count me in for sure. ToCo at its best.
Another great contribution from tocofans collection of contacts and negatives. Not sure if this one was ever published or not.
