When you've got your back to the wall and have only the shortest possible time to deal with all those smalls you've just brought in from the line, you do what ANN MILLIGAN does, you bring pressure to bear on the subject by using the hottest iron you can find.

Scan from an original 8 x 10 print. (Late 1950’s)
I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have been granted access to a private collection of negatives and prints dating back to the late 1970s and onwards into the 80s. These photographs emanate the essence and style typically associated with ToCo's magazine prints from the 60s and 70s.
What makes this collection particularly intriguing is the fact that I think many of these images have never been seen before. They showcase amateur models, with only their first names mentioned. While the quality of these photographs may vary, I thought it would be refreshing to showcase some of the better ones here on this blog.
If you happen to recognize a familiar face, then please do contact me.
The ambition of sweet SUZANNE EDWARDS is to play a guitar with a top pop group, and since Suzanne is pretty good with a guitar who knows what top pop group isn't looking out for a guitarist just her shape and size. Suzanne's shape, in fact, is a nicely symmetrical 36"-24"-36".

We want to nominate ANNE DUKE for something special. We don't want to nominate her for a political post, as we've gone off politics and politicians.
If we were able to, we'd retire all our present M.P.'s and send them off for a long rest to the Bahamas, where they could lie around and not think of anything except what they were going to get for lunch. In their place a bevy of housewives and a bunch of businessmen could get on with straightening the country out.
We'd like to keep Anne out of all that, however. We'd like to nominate her as an entrant for this year's Miss United Kingdom contest.
Anne has already won some beauty competitions. She's a Welsh girl, by the way, and her vitalistics are 36"-24"-36". If anyone would like to convert those figures to centimetres, they're welcome.

Mystery Model - Scan From Original Print
We were just quoting old Clancy about once seen, never forgotten, and coincidentally enough who should follow on but an absolute whizzbang of a femme fatale, as they say.
She's a Yorkshire girl. She's JENNIE LEA HARRIS, and while other girls were wondering why the fellers were passing them up on the beaches, Jennie in her bikini was creating the kind of impact that makes young men forget to go home to lunch.
Impact in this case is directly concerned with Jennie's vitalistics, which add up inch by inch to 39-23-36. And you can't really ask for more than that without being a little bit greedy. Other girls have to make do with much less. Actually, other girls may think Twiggy is dynamic but if you're a man who favours impact and you were stranded on a desert island with the girl of your choice, would you settle for a Twiggy type or one like Jennie?
On a desert island you'd soon get fed up with looking at coconuts and you'd need a much more intriguing shape to keep your optics from going stale. We'd like to have Jennie around.
Around? Good word, that.

Alice, Where Art Thou?
I'm cleaning up the little home, mother (says ALICE RICHMOND). And sure, enough there she was with a sweeper in her hand and going great guns over the floor in her bikini outfit.
Well, the bikini kept Alice cool all the way through but she slipped up when she gave that floor such a polish, which indicates how much better it is to do your chores wisely but not too well.

We mean this literally.
There's nothing like the modern air hostess to bring comfort and glamour to air travel, and one of the most glamorous of them is WENDY GOFF. Activating our cover this month with dynamic colour.
Wendy, a former Miss England, is just the girl we'd most like to get lost in the clouds with.
