Here are two more pictures from the Private Collection of Michelle, where she can be seen relaxing with a drink and a cigarette on what appears to be some sort of a day bed. Regardless of what she is lying on, she certainly looks ready for some fun.
Great picture of the very lovely Helen Milligan that was not published but taken from a set of pictures that were used twice. The original set was used in Beautiful Britons No. 118 (September 1965) entitled Field Day, with the remainder of the pictures being used in Spick No. 265 (December 1975) with that set entitled Oh You're Looking Good. This picture was not used in either set. The negative had a pen strike through it, which I have removed.
Very typical of Helen with the frilly petticoat that she was seen wearing in many pictures. Many thanks again to Tocofan for providing the negative.
If your sister or your wife would like to know how TANIA WEBB came by her figure of 37"-23"-36"-well, as a matter of fact, it just happened, it sort of grew up with her. "Of course, I eat wholemeal bread and steaks," said Tania, "and that might help." Oh gad, these girls.
Spick No 193 - December 1969
True LINDA TURNER may be the last girl we have featured, but she's by no means the least. She's the epitome of so many of our girls, vibrant, sporty and leggy. Watch her on a tennis or squash court, and you'll see just how sporty she is. Bang, bang, biff, biff, and get your glasses out of the way, Lucifer.
Beautiful Britons No 252 - November 1976 (Final Issue)
Jackie Murrey relaxing with a magazine on the floor, looking fantastic in her slightly raised frock, giving us all a tantalizing glimpse of her stockings. Another super contribution from Tocofan.
Those stretch tights are all very utilitarian when considered in conjunction with the mini, but what do they really do for a dolly?
What a flash of lightning it is to find there are still some dollies who like the old stocking-tops. Can't whack tops, you know. Do wonders for a lovely pair of legs.
Do marvels for the lovely legs of blonde INGRID NORSMAN and brunette LOWRA BRUNI. Ingrid is a Sussex girl, Lowra is an Italian girl living in Sussex.
They're both delicious.
They look scintillating in tops.
Beautiful Britons No 205 - December 1972
Helen Baxter is all dressed up, sitting in a chair and giving us a nice picture of her stockings and suspenders. Thanks again to Tocofan for this contribution.
Playing 'first-pass-the post-bags-a-lollipop' are vivacious brunette MARY GRAHAM and eye-catching blonde JANETTE GOODMAN. Anyway, it's a good substitute for press-ups and not so killing, even if it is hard on the knees of the gee-gee. And some gee-gee.
How'd you turn round in a corner? Janette's the worried one at this stage, but it's Mary who ought to have been.
Well, it was Mary, you see, who had farther to fall. This represents the final sequence of 'hands-knees-and-boompsa-daisy'. but no two girls could go 'boomps' with more photogenic emphasis than Janette and Mary, unless they weighed twice as much. In which case the emphasis would be physical-ouch!
Span No 103 - March 1963
Two more great pictures of Michelle from the Private Collection of negatives. She is seen sitting on a sheepskin rug-covered stool, which allows us a great view of her stocking-clad and very shapely legs. Michelle looks like a lot of fun and has a delightful smile.
There were three lovely girls, a lot of damp clouds and only one umbrella. The weather not being heavenly, the girl with the quickest snatch grabbed the brolly. That was DEBORA STEWART, and though the brolly may look a bit mundane you can't say Debbie does. Debbie is the girl we'd most like to explore the Amazon with, as it rains a lot there and Debbie can paddle a canoe and make it all look a gorgeous giggle.
Debbie’s two friends are LIZ MCEWEN and SUSAN FAIRFAX. While Debbie kept the brolly all to herself, Liz and Susan just had to wait for the rain to stop. Girls waiting for the rain to stop can look demurely anxious, especially if they've just emerged from the hairdressers, but Liz and Susan manage to look as if it isn't raining at all. And actually, it isn't.
It's all a lot of hocus-pocus about the weather just to give us a chance to intersperse some flowery chat about the girls. Flowery chat comes easily when it's all about mini-skirted charmers like these.
Span No 156 - August 1967
This is not to say JACKIE TAYLOR is diminutive and can't see over shop counters, it simply means she's infatuated with the mini look, and so she should be with knees as photogenic as that.
To people who view the mini-line and say "My word, l've not seen anything as original as that since I fell out of a balloon and landed in the middle of a Saudi Arabian harem," we can only comment that nothing is really new. Topless dresses, for instance, were worn for centuries by the Cretan girls as long ago as 2000 B.C. Miniskirts were worn by the warrior maids of Britain at the time of Julius Caesar, and then there were all those Roman dancing girls who specialised in peekaboo outfits that fairly took the eyebrows off the Roman nobility.
One thing you can say for certain about Jackie and the rest of her sex. They're never dull. They're always conjuring up ways and means to make you ride your bike into a hedge of wild roses and even then, you're almost oblivious of the pain.
Mini girls like Jackie make a man feel life is not wholly disenchanting.
Beautiful Britons No 135 - February 1967
Fabulous picture of Angela Bond fiddling with her stockings while perched on the edge of a stool, and that hairstyle is just amazing. I love it and miss it all. Thanks to Tocofan for contributing this picture for all of us to enjoy.
Scanned from an original print.
Even if it's only goodbye.
We just can't reconcile ourselves to the prospect of having FIONA STUART pass us by without giving us a wave or a smile or a word. You know how it is. You see a girl, an absolute eye-catcher, when you're rushing home from work so that you'll be in time for the twice-weekly serial on Channel 4 and suddenly it's gone.
What's gone?
All that urgency to catch the twice-weekly pay-off.
Suddenly you don't care anymore. You've just seen the most beautiful girl in the world, and you'd give up your fortnight on the Italian Riviera if only she'd speak to you.
She could, like Fiona, be just eighteen, with the kind of smile that makes you feel you've only been standing on one foot for the last two hours. You learn to raise your hat and introduce yourself and tell her what a knockout you are in company.
But she passes you by.
You realise instinctively she doesn't like guys who are knockouts.
You walk quietly away and jump off a bridge.
Love at first sight is the most agonising emotion in the world.
Span No 141 - May 1966
Great picture of Jane Paul looking like she has spotted something in the distance that might interrupt the photo session. I'm not sure if this picture was ever published in a magazine, but please let us all know if you have any information contradicting that. Many thanks to Tocofan for contributing this picture.
