We can state quite categorically that no people are more weather conscious than the British —unfortunately, we have to be and at the moment WENDY LUTON is conscious the mostest, if you’ll pardon our English. Rubber raincoat to keep off the rain and long bloomers to keep out the cold, and garters to stop her nylons falling down. Marvellous. Or is it?
Span No 123 - November 1964
I am looking for some help or additional involvement. I have many plans for this site, with new books arriving frequently, but just don’t have enough time to do what I would like to do on my own.
Vintage Fetish is enjoyed by many, with me frequently receiving kind comments from visitors, both new and regular. I also know that many of you have a good depth of knowledge on the books and models covered here. The model pages are particularly popular, but I find it hard to find the time to keep adding new ones, and this is one area I would like to improve upon. There are so many girls featured by ToCo who deserve a page all to themselves.
So how about It? Could you gather what information there is from the books and write a text to go along with the gallery? It takes a surprisingly long time to do, so being able to commit that time is important, along with a good standard of grammar. The content needs to be in keeping with current content.
So, if you have some spare time and would like to become involved, please do get in contact with me via the contact page, and we can take it from there.
Advertising assistant PAM ROGERS considers she'd get too single-minded if she thought about nothing else except advertising.
A girl needs an interest to keep her from thinking only about her job.
Pam has lots of interests. Boy friends to make her feel wanted, and dancing to make her feel activated.
Then there's stage work to make her feel talented and beauty contests to make her feel lovely.
Well, with all those interests and a beautiful figure of 37-24-36, there's a lovely Pam she is.
Beautiful Britons No 203 - October 1972
Born in Bath in 1940, Rosa trained in Ballet since she was 5 years old, and later in Musical Comedy until she was 15 and a half.
Rosa was too young at 15 to find a job on the stage, so she decided to fill in time and learn some other occupation. She worked in a Shoe Factory for a while, until an artist, who lives in Bath, saw her photograph in a Beauty Contest, and asked her to pose for him. Since then, many people have been contacting her to pose for them, but Rosa does not want to become just another model. Her heart is set on the stage. So, a month ago, she succeeded in persuading her parents to let her go to London and try her luck in the many theatres and Cabaret Clubs.
Rosa shares a flat with a girlfriend and earns her living working in a Snack Bar in Paddington — "just to keep body and soul together" as she says! She spends all her spare time and energy in practicing her dancing routine and attending auditions.
Fiesta Volume 3 No 1 - January 1958
SHIRLEY EPPS doesn’t need an awful lot of coaxing to come out, but she does need some tactful type to remind her that skirts, though short this season, are still being worn!
“I know that, stupid,” said Shirley, “and I’m not budging from here until mine turns up.” Shirley was, in fact, only hanging around the back door waiting for the dry cleaners to deliver the skirt.
At her New Year party she fell into the apple bucket.
Then the guy next door (who never misses a thing) popped his eyes over the fence. Shirley saw through that, however, and turned her back on him.
And when she finally get out it in a floral dress the skirt came shrunk.
Anyway, the floral frock was real springlike—and so, in the sunshine, was Shirley, as she gambolled over the grass.
Span Extra - Spring 1959
They talk about four-leafed clover, emerald green and elusive leprachauns when they talk about Ireland, but what about their racehorses and their pubs? And what about their lakes?
Full of lovely blue-green water are their lakes.
And we know one with lovely blue-green eyes, MARION LAKE. And with the nicest shape as well. 36"-23"-37".
Marion decided that as she could never get on speaking terms with leprachauns and didn’t have much in common with horses, she might as well find out what life was like elsewhere. Just for a change, you know.
So, she came to England and settled on the South Coast. She lives in Brighton, that Regency-styled watering-place where they used to trundle the bathing huts down to the sea so that the ladies could step right out of the huts into the water without being goggled at. Marion thinks that was a lot of old blarney. So do we.
Beautiful Britons No 163 - June 1969
If you do, then please keep them in a perfect condition until you have a hundred exotic blooms. Then present them to your wife’s mother. This will convince both your wife and her mother that you have gone off your nut, and they will humour you and coddle you for the rest of your days.
If however, you don’t collect orchids and don’t know the joys of having such fragrant beauty for your very own, console yourself by cutting out these pictures of DAWN GRAYSON and pasting them in your album. Your friends will all be delighted to let you show them your album from then on.
Dawn is a Luton girl who loves gardening and landscape-painting.
Spick No 132 - August 1965
Daughter of a British naval officer, OLGA RENOWN is nineteen and has a flat in London.
She used to follow the fleet in the company of her mother, but there comes a time when a girl has to be independent. So Olga settled in London, got herself a job as a secretary and goes to work carrying a colourful umbrella. She finds it useful for hailing taxis.
Olga calls herself old-fashioned.
Old fashioned ?
Well, yes, she says. She likes bouffant petticoats, with yards of lace showing beneath swirly, flaring skirts. Says it's old-fashioned but ever so eye-catching to men.
Darling, you're dead right.
Lovely Scottish lass with the cute dimples and the curvaceous outlook is MARION KYLE of Ayrshire. North of the Border it seems a fact that all the girls are not only curvaceous but traditionally bonny.
Marion is gay, bright and vivacious. She works in an office and this is her first appearance as a pin-up girl. Looking as cute as she does we hope that first is not also the last.
We couldn’t, in fact, pass those dimples by without wanting to see them again.
Wales is full of coal. It's lovely stuff and goes up in bright flame in a decent fireplace.
Out of a Welsh mining village there came not just Welsh nuts, however, but a beautiful Welsh dolly, SAMANTHA JONES. Jones the Eyeful the Welsh boys called her as they chased her home from school. One day Willy Bach caught her and then wished he hadn't because Samantha landed him a conker with her satchel and from then on he was known as Willy the Black Eye.
Samantha now resides in London and lives in an Earls Court bedsitter. She's a receptionist and her pet love at the moment is her snake, which shares her quarters. But Samantha is getting a little worried at the way Sneaky her snake is growing bigger every day, and she's thinking of changing him for a young cheetah.
Anyone got one?
Anyone who'd like to exchange it for a growing snake.
I have been asked if we can put a name to this model. It’s from Scantys No 4

Cute, winsome and Welsh are sisters JENNIFER GOODMAN and GAYNOR GOODMAN. Jennifer is the beautiful brunette, Gaynor the attractive blonde, and this was the day when Jennifer heard suspicious noises in her room—where Gaynor was surreptitiously borrowing some of her sister’s black lingerie. Gaynor, hearing Jennifer haring up the stairs, hadn’t time to put the garment back and adopted the old and tried course of looking sweetly innocent. This is a look which comes easily to both blondes and brunettes. And also to redheads, for that matter.
"Pardon me,” said Jennifer, pulling hard, "but these are mine.”
"Yes, I know,” said Gaynor, “but do let me borrow them, Sis.” “Not likely,” said Jennifer, “so kindly let go.”
So Gaynor did. Suddenly like. That did it. Over they both went.
“At least,” said Jennifer, “you might have asked me first.”
“But if 1 had," said Gaynor, “you’d have said no.” “At least,” said Jennifer, “I wouldn’t have felt as ruffled as I do now.”
Both girls have common likes music, modelling and men but Jennifer just won’t share her black lingerie!

It was in Oslo, Norway, that INGA SVENSON was born.
She grew up to be one of those extremely shapely Scandinavian goddesses and all the Norwegian men who knew her, had high hopes of becoming her life partner, could hardly believe their rotten luck when she went off to England as an au pair girl.
Inga came to look at the country and to learn the language.
Well, when she'd had a good look and spoke the language excellently she decided to stay.
That was even worse luck for her Norwegian friends, but we're not grumbling. Inga is living in Hampshire at the moment and these are the very first pin-up photographs she’s posed for.
What a goddess.
