Scots’ girl who is right in the swing of it when it comes to being a cute Miss Mod is BRENDA NORTH. Brenda is mad about the Beatles and other groups, is as colourful as a Picasso painting and has long and lovely legs.
Span No 125 - January 1965
More from the oh-so-popular Alexandra Holmes. More pictures from the original set. Let’s hope Rob sends in some more of his very popular wife.
Secretary TRUDI JACKSON was at home and looking for her tights.
"Anyone seen them?" she said.
Yes, said the bloke from next door as he looked in at the window, you're wearing them.
"Oh," blushed Trudi, "I forgot."
Her tights certainly looked nice and the bloke from next door thought her knicks did too, and he wouldn't go away until Trudi opened the window and poked him in both eyes with a pot plant.
Spick No 246 - May 1974
Anticipating the early arrival of spring, JENNIFER APRIL ANN TAYLOR went looking for a lamb.
The farmer's creaking old shepherd went looking for his rum flask. He was once a sailor, but he still left things lying about.
Jennifer didn't find any lambs; it was a bit too early.
The old shepherd didn't find his rum flask, either, but he found Jennifer. They came face to face in a misty meadow.
"Great cucumbers,'" said the old shepherd, "who needs rum, me beauty?"
“Good grief," said Jennifer, breaking into a fast trot, "who needs help? I do."
But as she leapt the gate the old shepherd lurched into it, and she was saved by the bong. He didn't come to until Jennifer was safely home and eating shepherd's pie.
Beautiful Britons No 207 - February 1973
There's no doubt about it, said Big Garth to Little Garth, when the sun is flaming hot, you feel more like fun than you do when it's flaming freezing. You're so right, spoke up MELANIE COOPER before Little Garth could get word in, the sun just makes you feel terribly gay.
Little Garth then said there was nothing terrible about it, so Big Garth hit him over his bonce with a large fist, and with hardly another sound Little Garth was driven deep into the soft sand dune.
Oh, that was funny, said Melanie, where did Little Garth go to?
Up spoke the almost muffled voice of Little Garth. I say, it isn't half dark down here.
Beautiful Britons No 155 - October 1968
Well, you all clicked that like button and, as promised, more from Alex.
What a fantastic ToCo model Alex would have made, with that all knowing half smile she has.
More from Alex in a few days’ time.
West Berlin fashion model GABY BLAESING had an assignment in the country outside the city. It was to model trousers and sweaters, trousers, and tops.
Gaby thought one of the tops would look more in fashion if worn up instead of over.
Some fashion.
Mr. Gubbelheimer will hardly think it's quite the thing for a night at the opera. Gaby thought it a giggle. The photographer thought it a goggle and fell over his tripod.
We think it's a little bit saucy.
Pass the iced water, Claude, or pour it over us yourself.
Beautiful Britons No 207 - February 1973
I wonder if anyone can put names to these two girls please, or even supply the rest of the set. We think they are from a UK magazine - late 1970’s or early 80’s. It would be great to find out.
Your help is always appreciated.
More pictures of Mrs Smith of Luton. Scanned prints, all taken during the 1980’s
These are great home-produced ToCo fun. Lucky old Mr Smith!
And for those of you who need a translation, the sad meaning of the above is that Scottish sweetie, EMMA GETGOOD, is no longer with us.
Emma departed for Canadian shores a few months ago, leaving us with the feeling that there's something missing that matters.
And if we feel that way it's a cert that they're not exactly in the mood for the highland fling in Scotland. Well, no Scot who values a glamour girl like Emma as much as he values his oats can be expected to play anything but a lament on his bagpipes.

I don’t know much about this picture other than it was taken in the 1980’s at home and sent in by Mr Smith. The Smiths are from Luton, and Mr Smith has certainly given me the impression there may be some more to come.
Let’s hope so!
