Model has no name, but I think it’s Nancy Roberts.

Angie Holt
/High Stepper
When you're nineteen and life isn't weighing you heavily down with all the responsibilities you accrue as you get older, you feel like stepping out to enjoy the wonders of the world.
You've a long way to go before you get to the age where you're all creaky and feeble and need to ask kind policemen to see you across the road. You're full of health and energy and can't understand what hypochondriacs make so much fuss about.
Absolutely whizzo with health and energy is ANGIE HOLT, high - stepping her way through the park, much to the amazement and delight of ninety-year-old gentlemen sitting in fragile pre-occupation on the park benches.
'Well, heck," says one old gent, "girls weren't like that when I was a
boy.”
‘No reason why we can't make up for it now," says a second old gent. ‘‘Where are you creaking off to?" asks the first ancient.
"I'm going to ask her for a dance,” says the second.

Julie Collins
/High-Flyer
Air hostess JULIE COLLINS has been as high up in the world as anyone else, excepting only the astronauts, and as far as ambition is concerned the only thing left that excites Julie’s imagination is being an astronaut herself. May we say she’s the girl we’d most like to go into orbit with? Or the girl we’d most like to go giddy with? Same thing.
As an air hostess Julie has been on the Britain - America run and has touched down in every part of the American continent when serving with an American airline. She has finally settled in London, which she prefers to any other - it’s currently the swingiest, it seems - and she wants to get her feet back on the ground for a while. She’s twenty-two and she’s gorgeous.

Donna Mathis
/looking For A Champ
What a fine thing for the old country it would be if we found a heavy-weight champ or even someone who could throw the hammer from here to the French wine country. It might make a mess of the wine bottles but think of the glory.
We know a girl who's looking for her own kind of champ.
DONNA MATHIS of the Midlands breeds doggies.
She also breeds Alsatians, which are a lot bigger than doggies. Her ambition is to exhibit a champion Alsatian.
We know an Alsatian. It's not a champ but what lovely teeth. Real, live choppers they are.

Sylvia Ternes
/Not Surprising
When a girl has legs as lovely as SYLVIA TERNES it’s not surprising to find that her progress down a Berlin Strasse accompanied by whistles of Teutonic admiration, and if you’ve ever heard the Berliners whistle you’d know it’s something you couldn’t miss, even with a brass band playing. Sylvia, nineteen, is rather sweet, don’t you think?

Laura Mason
/Miss Legs
Title-winner in any legs contest you care to organise for the benefit of girls mad keen to demonstrate their eyecatching pins is, of course, LAURA MASON, one of your currently favourite glamour girls.
Laura lives in Tooting, where, naturally, the fresh guys don’t whistle but toot. Tooting is full of toots when Laura’s in view.
Laura has big brown eyes and a gay personality, and in this series, she glamorously demonstrates just how perfect are her legs. Add this one asset to all the others and you’ve got quite a girl!

Fiona James
/Fiona Wants To Fly
These days the really glamorous gals want to be models or air hostesses. Models only move up and down the catwalks, the excitement is all in the wearing of the newest and most sensational collections.
Air hostesses get around.
One moment they’re here.
A couple of hours later they’re in Rome or Tangiers.
The capitals of the world are theirs.
And as one air hostess said to the other air hostess, “When you’ve seen one, Cleo, you’ve seen them all.”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said Cleo, “the languages are different.”
“When you’ve heard one language,” said the first air hostess, “you’ve heard them all. What are you doing on Saturday?”
“Oh, I’m going to Berlin and back in the morning,” said Cleo.
"I’m going to a football match,” said the first air hostess.
Never mind about that. FIONA JAMES wants to fly. She wants to be an air hostess. She’s just right for a smart, well-cut uniform. She’s five feet six and measures 35"-23"-36".

Bunny
/It'll Have To Go
There just isn’t room in the boot for two long legs and a spare tyre. The tyre will have to go. A guy can always throw out any amount of spare tyres or old haversacks or empty beer cans, but he wouldn’t and couldn’t throw out BUNNY. Bunny is too beautiful. Bunny is a private secretary with an extremely high I.Q. So much so that her favourite reading matter is Egyptian archaeology. If you know anything about the pyramids you could have quite a conversation with Bunny.

Wendy Luton
/Weather Conscious
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?

Help Wanted!
/Help Wanted!
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.
Pam Rogers
/A Girl Needs An Interest
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.

Rosa Domaille
/The Waitress
THE WAITRESS
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.

Shirley Epps
/Coming Out?
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.

Marion Lake
/The Lakes In Ireland Are Lovely
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.

Dawn Grayson
/Do You Collect Orchids?
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.
