Hot Scott Pants

If any girls can wear hot pants and look like they were meant to look - expressively feminine - it's the bonny Scot birds.
Like PAM JOHNSTONE.
It's a bit of a fraud, really.
Why?
Because Pam's hot Scot pants are just a pair of lovely clinging shorts, she's had in her wardrobe for a couple of years already. She bought them ages ago and sort of went off them as soon as she got them home.
Then those daft fashion people, who were absolutely stuck for a gimmick, put a model into a pair of shorts, someone called them hot pants, and look what's happened now. The whole thing's a send-up.
Pam is laughing herself silly.
Never mind, it doesn't make her look any the less inspiring.

Mmmm For Mum

Happy wife and proud mother is ELIZABETH GAMMAGE of Bristol, seen not for the first or last time, we hope in our magazines. Liz's currently favourite recreation is pin-up modelling for her husband, who took these latest shots of her.

Liz loves frilly clothes, coffee, and home life, and all her family love Liz.

In relaxing around her house, Liz shows just why she's the perfect pin-up model for enthusiastic photographer husband. Good for Liz.

Lisa Scott

Cold Day - Warm Girl

Lisa Scott is, without a doubt, an absolute smasher and she always holds a spot in my top 5 ToCo girls. This great shot, which I believe has not been seen before, is from a set that was published in Spick No 185 in April 1969. A big shoutout and thanks to Tocofan for sharing this rare gem. I'm curious, who would make it into your top 5 ToCo girls?

Jennie Piece

Secretary Bird

Lovely and chirpy, glamorously blonde and deliciously vital is Secretary JENNIE PIECE, who has just moved from the quiet of a Gloucestershire village into a more urbanised area somewhere in Surrey.

Naturally, all the vital male types down this way were more than interested to know about the movements of this dishy bird or dolly bird or whatever. Jennie is certainly way up on the charts when it comes to qualifying as a secretary bird, which is about the highest you can rate in the eyes of all those who decide if a girl can be classed as a bird at all. You gotta be really dishy or you don't get classed nohow. You just remain a girl.

It can't half be mortifying.

But not for Jennie. She's a top-rated Secretary bird, and any man-about-town would consider it a privilege to have her put an arrow through his hat.

Faith Pattinson

Faith

Girl making a name for herself among those striving for a place in the world of films is FAITH PATTINSON.

You can see for yourself how well Faith is set-up in respect of having the right impact in front of a camera. Impact can be abstract. In the case of Faith, she has the looks, the figure, the personality, and the talent to make her impact factual, not abstract.

Span No 156 - August 1967

Adrienne Houston

/

Beauty Consultant

One thing we know for sure about this sweet young thing caught fixing her stocking in the car is that she's a beauty consultant in a large store and her name is ADRIENNE HOUSTON. We know, also for sure, that Adrienne is just right to be a beauty consultant for she's quite a looker herself.

Well, negotiating an exit from a car is always a bit tricky, especially with so many handles around to catch your skirts on, but even if Adrienne does make it a leggy exit it's a very eye-catching one.

Adrienne is twenty-two and since she's a girl dedicated to her profession making other girls look as glamorous as herself she has little time for boyfriends. Pity, for she's lovely, leggy and a very delightful person.

Bringing Pressure To Bear

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.
