The final four pictures from the mystery model print set. Sadly, she still has no name, and I have no more pictures of her to post. I hope they have been fun and enjoyable. What we can say, though, is that whoever she is, she certainly is a very pretty girl. If you are interested in buying this set of 10 prints, please contact me.
This is another great contribution from Tocofan, and again, believed to be unpublished.
Some of you may know that I am not a big fan of Nicola Taylor, and she certainly would not be anywhere near my top 10. However, I do know that within the ToCo fan base, there is a lot of love for Nicola.
Now, having just said all that, I think she looks absolutely fabulous in this picture. It's a moment captured when both girls are distracted by something in the distance, and Nicola looks relaxed and very pretty indeed. I like the way her cardigan has fallen from her shoulder, and the choker that she is wearing certainly adds to her allure.
Joanna Young did three sets with Nicola Taylor but only ever appeared for ToCo 7 times. I personally don’t think this is a great picture of her. If you have a look at some of the sets on her homepage, you will see a fun side to both of them.
On this particular occasion, I certainly would have been very happy to have taken Joanna's place alongside Nicola for some fun in the sun.
ONCE more into the breach, cried Harry of England, and once more into the picture steps JANETTE GOODMAN of Scotland. Shakespeare and Agincourt were responsible for the first situation, the demand of Janette's fans for the second. Elegant, attractive and big-eyed, Janette is a fashion model with a flair for looking particularly attractive in lingerie.
Spick No 88 - March 1961
A pretty blonde with what we were once allowed to call wolf-whistle appeal. The very antithesis of Vogue front page on the one hand and Sun PageThree on the other, ToCo books were born with her in mind. She was that ubiquitous doe-eyed, leggy sweetie from Number 74 Acacia Drive of just about any town in the UK.

As it won't be long before LYNN REMMER leaves college to take a job in the humming corridors of commerce, she thought she'd have a practice run round the offices of the firm which has promised her a lucrative nine-to fiver with prospects.
Lynn didn't actually do any work, she just wanted to make contact with the atmosphere, but her presence brightened up the files no end.
The general duties junior, Herbert, can hardly wait for her to take up her position as Mr. Mortimer's assistant sales secretary, which means that Lynn will have to watch Herbert.
Herbert will certainly be watching Lynn.
Span No 243 - November 1974
Another two pictures of our lovely mystery model, who is slowly becoming more daring with her poses.
Lisa Scott came from Canada and met and married a Middlesex Englishman she bumped into at the Tower of London. ToCo couldn’t resist telling us she lost her head.
She became a British subject, settled in North London and worked as a secretary who really wanted to get into modelling (how many times have we read that?). But she did indeed manage to make an entry and appeared in some TV commercials and did some fashion and photographic modelling.
When Lisa wasn’t strutting her stuff on the catwalk, she loved flaunting it whilst skin diving and water-skiing in Cornwall. That, and her passion for volleyball, must be how she stayed so trim after becoming a mum.
Two nice pictures of Michelle that I have selected from the private collection of negatives to show here. I am very fortunate to get to see them all and select the ones that I like, and hopefully, you will enjoy them as well. Just about every picture I have of Michelle shows her smiling, and she really does appear to be having fun and enjoying herself; it never comes across as forced. There will be more to come. I do have some very sexy ones of her lying on a bed, smoking, and drinking. Plenty to look forward to.
With us at the moment but all set to go Grecian is BARBARA PAYNE, a very enchanting example of how to look lovely without hardly trying.
Barbara is a nurse in London and has a boyfriend in Greece. She met him when she was on holiday there. There was a kind of click, a spark as mutual excitement induced electricity and an invitation to pause in the sun and sip a Greek aperitif.
Back in London, Barbara realised she was madly in love, so she has now applied for a nursing position in a Greek hospital and is waiting impatiently for the official answer. As a Grecian nurse she will be so much nearer to her Grecian Adonis.
"Well, he's not actually Adonis," said Barbara, "he's Thermistopholes Constanation."
Sounds fun.
Span No 243 - November 1974
Two nice pictures of Valetta relaxing at home with a book and what looks like a glass of sherry, while at the same time giving us a glimpse of her stocking tops.
A new and extremely charming pin-up girl we have just discovered is GRETA BERRY.
Here are just a couple of pics of Greta as a kind of introductory tableau that will put you in the mood for more, unless you've gore off beauty and taken up wallpapering.
If you've got more sense than to do anything as stupid as exchanging true joy for sticky wallpaper, then look out in future issues for features on Greta, and we guarantee you'll love her.
Beautiful Britons No 184 - March 1971
Two more pictures of our favourite nurse, Paula. In the first picture, she looks straight at the camera, seemingly implying, "Do you like what you see? Would you like a little more?" Fantastic tease from Paula. Nurses in black stockings and suspenders surely must have been good for your health.
Two more pictures from this print set that I have, but we still don't have a name for her. More to come later in the month.
Julie Marsden is one of those tantalising models who are drop-dead gorgeous but made few appearances in Toco’s magazine. She had everything – a pretty face, lustrous hair, legs that go all the way up to the ladies’ lingerie department and that cheeky zing in her poses and body language that says, “so I’m sitting in the boot of a car and flashing my stocking tops and suspenders at you. Do you have a problem with this? ‘Cos I don’t”. So why only four appearances and a few orphaned photos hanging about? And why did she make three appearances in her first year (from her debut in BB112 in March 1965, Spick 139 in June of that same year and BB12 later in November) and then nothing for an entire decade until Span 250 in June 1975? I expect pictures that ToCo had in their files that were taken in the 60s.
