What a Lovely Cook

Not so long-ago JENNIFER JAY was a lovely bank clerk.

Now she's a lovely housewife. And what a lovely cook too. On baking days, the whole place is sort of warmly aromatic. but if you call to sell anything don't go into the kitchen or you'll get conked. Jennifer likes to keep her kitchen to herself and people who put their noses into the hot oven on baking days aren't welcome.

She's quite a dish herself with her measurements of 36-25-37.

Vintage Stockings Archive

I have spent some time looking through this archive over the last couple of weeks, and I have started to make my selections. A great many of the pictures are, unfortunately, not suitable for this site, but there are still plenty that are! The sources and quality are hugely varied, as you may imagine. I am making my selections from pictures that I like, and ones that just catch my eye.

Today’s picture is one of those. I like it just for its absolute amateurism; the originals - and there are a few from this set - look like Polaroids that have not fared well with time, and so I have spent some time improving the quality.

It’s just a great picture. They have gone for a ride in the Mini van to take some naughty pictures; I like the train that is racing by in the background.

Look This Way

Amateur photographer JULIE SCOTT (she’s the cute brunette) gets ready to shoot amateur sitter SARA SCOTT (she’s the honey-blonde). It’s just for the fun of it.

Well, it’s a change for Julie to see into the view-finder instead of the-lens, and Sara is just right as a subject for black-and-white analysis.

Any girls who prefer being the subject to being the operator only need to look as gorgeous as Sara or as glamorous as Julie.

House Hunting

In Southampton, Hants, lives ANITA DALE.

She likes working in stylish coffee bars where the environment is atmospheric of the vitality of the young.

It keeps her bubbling.

She went house hunting the other day.

It's the kind of pursuit girls and boys find themselves engaged in when they're going to be married. You need a roof over your head to start with, as it's all going to work against you if you wake up after the honeymoon and find you're out in the rain.

Anita hunting for a suitable house made such an elevating picture that we followed her round with a camera. Hope you like the results.

Student Model

Don’t be misled we're not inferring that ANNE FURNAESS is studying the glamorous art of modelling. Anne’s all set for a scholastic career. It just happens that she’s a spare-time model and a full-time student hence the heading.

Studying can be a hard grind. It helps to have a record player and a bowl of fruit to hand to lighten the burden of equations and logarithms.

Modelling, on the other hand, is pure fun.

All you need is a sense of humour, a sweet smile a series of nicely- distributed curves and a flair. Result, model student having fun and looking good.

Ribbons In Her Hair

Scottish lovely who's received lots of fan mail is SANDRA McPHERSON, hear about to find out if the hair ribbons someone sent her make her look cuter.

Sandra, a perfectionist, wasn’t too sure about the effect by itself.

By way of contrast, what about swish black nylons to offset the beautiful white ribbons?

Unprejudiced opinions are asked for, but no rude ones, please. Sandra may not be sure about the effect herself, but, man, we love it.

Look Which Way?

This way. Oh, okay, said JEAN STEWART, Scottish shorthand-typist from Glasgow.

Any way will do, really. Fact is, you look bonny from any angle. Don’t mind us saying so, do you?

Not at all, said Jean, only I bet you say that to all the girls.

Only to the bonny ones. You’re ever so bonny. Look this way, mmm?

Cheeky lot said Jean.

Armchair Frills

Looking pretty frilly in her armchair is FRANCESCA YOUNG, a wow of a pin-up girl from Worcestershire. What’s more feminine than frills on Francesca?

You may prefer feathers on a falcon or plumes on an ostrich, but neither would look as cute as Franny in an armchair—or would they!

Anyway, bring us any ostrich with vitalistics of 37"-23"-37" and you may get us re-considering the matter. Meanwhile we’ll stick with Francesca, who’s never so dumb as to bury her head in the sand.

Vintage Stockings Archive

Recently I was fortunate enough to be offered the complete contents of the Vintage Stockings Archive from its webmaster. The site, which I am sure a great many of you were familiar with, closed a year or two ago. There are, as you can imagine, 100’s of 1000’s of images, some of which would complement this site well.

Sadly, I don’t have the time to resurrect the old site, but, as and when time allows, I will make available some of those pictures via this site’s blog, and intermix them with the regular ToCo sets that we all enjoy.

Pictures that I use from the Vintage Stockings Archive with be categorised as VSA, so that they can be easily separated or tracked. As always, I ask that if you can put names to faces then please contact me via the contact page.
