Jackie

Is anyone fully cognisant of exactly how we're all going to be rich and prosperous when we finally get into the Common Market? The politicians are certain it's going to lift us out of our slough of economic despond, and if you can think of any reason to doubt politicians keep it to yourself. Meantime we wonder if we'd get in any sooner if we sent JACKIE WEST to see mon general. Mon general is the gentleman impervious to all the Anglo-Saxons he's met up to now. Could he really say "Non, non," to Jackie?

Joan Glover - Anyone For Tennis

Joan Glover only appeared three times for ToCo, twice in Beautiful Britons books No. 109 and 123, both from the same photo session. Joan made her debut for ToCo in Span No. 112, December 1963, in a set titled "No Difference," where she is depicted having fun in the countryside with a random selection of sports equipment—typical of ToCo's randomness. Unfortunately, this picture was never chosen for publication. Joan certainly possessed a stunning figure; it is regrettable that we did not see more of her for reasons that may remain unknown. We must appreciate the small glimpses we have. Many thanks to Tocofan for this nice contribution.

Folksy

Mad about folk music is TONI TOWNSEND.

And seen in the sylvan environment of a woodland glade, Toni looks very folksy herself. Actually, guys, she's an advertising assistant, and although they have nothing to do with her job, you might like to have nothing to do with her job, you might like to know her statistics are 37-23-37. She designs and makes her own clothes, she can play a guitar and she's just the kind of girl who makes us realise life is full of vivaciously pretty pictures.

Open The Gate

It's easier if the gate is open and a girl can walk through, but when it's shut and LINDA DEANE has to climb over it does make a prettier picture. Prettier pictures are our line of country. Yours can be magnificent bulls. It's a free country.

Pause In the Park

It was just one of those lunchtime strolls for HEIDI MEISTER, and after a morning devoted to singeing the beards off her boss's competitors, as well as to re-arranging the flowers on his desk, Heidi found the peace and tranquillity of the Berlin Park delightfully soothing. Heidi is not the sort of secretary who comes all over frenzied when business progress seems entirely indivisible from turmoil, panic and the crash of phones being hurled about.

"If you must thunder about your executive suite," she said very coolly to her boss the other day, "the removal of your boots would make it quieter for the rest of us.

Completely intimidated, her boss meekly removed his boots. He'd been on a weekend climbing holiday in Bavaria and hadn't had time to go home for his shoes. The holes in his socks made him blush. The futility of it all was too much for Heidi so she went out into the park to get herself re-orientated. it made a nice lunchtime break for the passing photographer as well.

Catherine Small

Sleigh Belle

Well, not all of us hogged the fireside during the recent snow blitz. Some of us took off from our armchairs to participate in winter sports. Like CATHERINE SMALL of Glasgow, for instance. It takes more than a ten-foot drift to beat a bonny Scot, especially one who's found a toboggan in her attic.

Maybe if she could have found ski trews as well, Catherine would have been a little better equipped all round, except that the frills and spills in the snow wouldn't have looked as gay as they do here.

But what do you do with a wet skirt? All that snow may look like a dazzling platform to fairyland, but once you've rolled in it you find its pretty damp stuff.

Well, never mind-when you're wet, you're wet, so here we go for another spill.

Igloo Look

Fascinating, those Eskimoes.

They eat decomposed fish, you know, and it gives them a lovely complexion. They wear huge boots and thick furs, and they always look as if they're expecting the weather to be considerably parky.

ANGELA SHAW isn't an Eskimo, but she does have a beautiful igloo look in her white fur ensemble. All the fish Angela eats has to be fresh, and as her complexion is lovely too, we're not sure if we've proved anything or tossed an argument into the arena.

You work it out. We're going to find an igloo.

Welcome Visitor

Over here from West Germany is HEIDI SEPAN.

She's getting on famously, she's bought herself some genuine London mini-skirts, but her seamed nylons are German. London dollies rarely wear seams now, either in tights or stockings, but Heidi has a yen for them.

Like everything else which is different, a seamed stocking makes the fellers look, especially when topped by a brief mini-skirt. All the girls thought seams had gone out for ever, but once they saw Heidi walking in her mini and her seams in the King's Road, Chelsea, they began to wonder if they weren't missing out an old fashion that was a new craze.

Our welcome visitor from West Germany knows a wrinkle or two when it comes to catching the eye in a mini-skirt and a slinky pair of nylons. She's dishy.

Maggie McCully – Back Office Beauty

Another great picture from Tocofan, I think taken from a contact sheet. Maggie McCully is standing on what must be, by now, that infamous back office ToCo table that has been seen so many times in their magazines. Maggie has a slightly odd expression, which is possibly why it was never selected to be published. However, she certainly has a fantastic pair of legs hidden under that very typical style of dress that she seemed to favour so much.

Fair Enough

It's sort of sylvan-like in the woods, and even more so when LINDA DEANE is around. Linda, corn-coloured blonde, is fair enough to beautify any place and can always be counted on to improve the look of a discotheque or a woodland vista. Linda is a London model, working in both fashion and glamour spheres, and she has a lovely figure of 36"-23"-36"

Maureen - Giving Us a Flash

Great picture of Maureen crossing her legs. It’s just a pity her feet have been cropped out of the original picture. But she certainly looks rather stunning with her hair up and that black choker. She has that kind of knowing look on her face, aware that she is flashing her stocking tops at us.
