Maureen - Private Collection
/Maureen - Giving Us a Flash
Great picture of Maureen crossing her legs. It’s just a pity her feet have been cropped out of the original picture. But she certainly looks rather stunning with her hair up and that black choker. She has that kind of knowing look on her face, aware that she is flashing her stocking tops at us.
Julie Bliss
/Home Comfort
Among the home comforts that most men look for is an armchair that will take a tired body and a glass of toddy after a hard day's work, and a devoted wife who knows how to get the best out of a hot oven. The home comfort we'd go dotty about is JULIE BLISS, brown-eyed silver blonde who's not only lovely to look at in a drawing-room but also singularly adept at amateur dramatics.
Span No 163 - March 1968
Jane Paul
/Jane Paul - Looking Right At You
Something to cheer everyone up a little on a wet Wednesday afternoon. Another Tocofan treat, Jane Paul perched on what looks to be a kitchen worktop, taken from a contact sheet. It was interesting to see the comments that yesterday's Nicola Taylor picture provoked, and I am going to say it again that Jane Paul would definitely not be in my top ten of ToCo girls. However, I know that there are some real fans of Jane out there who would disagree with me. So, without stating the obvious, what is so special about her? She doesn’t really smile enough for me.
Nicola Taylor
/Nicola Taylor – Looking Great
I personally am not a great fan of Nicola Taylor, but she is a popular ToCo model. This picture is courtesy of Tocofan, taken from a contact sheet, and I am not sure if it was ever published. It is, however, a very nice picture of her looking relaxed and natural as she kneels on a rug in a secluded countryside spot or a garden.
Lisa Shannon
/Why Did Henry Leave Home
Lots of men leave home. They usually leave immediately after breakfast, but if they don't get back in time for evening dinner, they're in dead trouble.
There was an awfully nice bloke called Henry who was never going to leave home. He was looked after by an iron-jawed housekeeper who wanted to keep him for herself.
Then Henry saw the loveliest dolly passing by. She was so fabulously dishy that Henry knew he'd never feel the same about his train set. He locked the iron-jawed housekeeper in the pantry and left home.
He caught up with the superb dolly bird. She was LISA SHANNON, one of the swingers who make London look ravishing, and after raising his hat Henry said he was mad about her and would she like to go off to Greece with him.
Lisa handed him over to a policeman. Henry explained, the policeman understood and told Henry to stand in the rain for an hour. Henry did and went back home all wet.
In case Henry is looking in and is vastly interested, Lisa's lovely figure measures 39-24-37. Much better than a train set.
Beautiful Britons No 181 - 1970
Molly McBride (Marion McGregor)
/Bonnet Beauty Molly McBride
Who wouldn't want Molly McBride sitting on the bonnet of their Morris Minor? This is the back cover picture for Span No 245. Molly was definitely a ToCo 60s model, a picture that ToCo regurgitated in their dying days of the 1970s. It may not be of the best quality, but it is definitely worth showing. I like It.
Span No 245 - January 1975
Girl Who Stole Painting
/Double Trouble – Private Collection
Two more pictures of the girl who stole the painting from the private collection of negatives. I can't make up my mind about her; she looks a bit scary to me. I like the second shot where she appears a little surprised by the camera as she adjusts her stockings.
Heather Chaffey
/Glamorous Aussie
All I can say, said Bertie Shoemaker as soon as he clapped eyes on the pictures of HEATHER CHAFFEY of Australia, is that if I've got to go twelve thousand miles to see her in person, I'll go even if I have to walk it.
Can't blame the feller. Heather of New South Wales is a living doll, and if there are others like her Down Under, we'll go with Bertie and see if we can't actually get there before he does.
Heather is a happy housewife with a lovely home and a sunny garden, and just about our idea of the best reason why we suddenly want to emigrate. We don't want to work in the outback or dig for nickel, however, we just want to take the house next door to Heather's and talk to her over the garden fence and join her for coffee.
Heather must have been a real beaut as a baby, because just look at her now, cobber.
Oh, trying to be all matey and Australian, are we?
You bet we are.
For all you blokes who collect mathematics, Heather is 5' 7" tall and her vitalistics measure 39"-24"-37". Kinda cute, curvy and cuddly, mmmm?
Span No 178 - June 1969
Jane Rennie
/Jungle Jane
Nice shot of Jane Rennie in just her underwear, doing God knows what in what looks like quite dense undergrowth. The picture is from a contact sheet. Another great contribution from Tocofan.

Going Forward
/Blog Updates
For the past few years, I have been posting something every day. However, it has started to feel more like a chore rather than something I look forward to. In fact, there are now thousands of posts available in the archive for you to explore if you're interested.
Therefore, I have made the decision to start posting every other day. This will allow me to have time to pursue other avenues and make improvements here, which I will enjoy doing. It will also hopefully give me more time to showcase some original work, rather than just regurgitating old ToCo sets. However, I promise I won't abandon the ToCo stuff.
Still Disappointed…
It is also really starting to grate on me that a lot of my posts are being quickly reposted on Facebook and Tumblr within hours. What is particularly hurtful is that they are being passed off as their own work with no credit or acknowledgement to this site whatsoever. I understand that the internet can feel like the wild west, where some people think everything is free or up for grabs. However, that is not the case. I have mentioned before that some of the images on this site are copyrighted to me or that I pay others for the right to use them.
To those who are stealing my images, you know who you are, and you will read this message, I would like to ask you again to stop this behaviour. At the very minimum, please contact me first, ask for permission, and then give proper credit and link back to the site or original post. Even better, I encourage you to put effort into producing something original yourself.

Dawn Grayson
/Album Time
Pause here for all the fans of DAWN GRAYSON who devote their photographic albums to pics of her.
Spick No 174 - May 1968
Yvette - Private Collection
/Yvette - Private Collection
Yvette is seen sitting on the grass, posing for the camera but she appears a little uneasy about it all. However, in the second picture, she gives us a glimpse of a smile. There aren't many pictures of Yvette, which is a shame because she is pretty girl with great hair colour.
