Suzi with an "i" or Suzy with a "y"—you choose. They are two very different girls. Suzi with an "i" can be found in book No. 145, and Suzy with a "y" can be found in book No. 143, in glorious colour from the Spick and Span 2000 range of eBooks.
I think Undine is an unusual name, so I looked it up. Originating in Latin, Undine is a girl's name meaning "little wave" or "of the waves." It derives from the Latin word unda, meaning "wave," and is the name attributed to mythological water spirits. More commonly known as undines, these water nymphs appear across modern-day literature. Well, I certainly think this Undine looks like a little nymph posing for us with a toy gun in her black stockings.

In November, I posted some pictures from some transparencies I have, and it was determined that they were actually of Maureen Stocks. However, I was puzzled as to why Boots The Chemist had developed them. After some background conversations with friends, it became clear that Maureen Stocks had been very active on the amateur camera club circuits. These transparencies were possibly taken by an amateur who belonged to a club for which Maureen might have been paid to pose. I imagine this particular member had his slides developed by Boots The Chemist. It's always nice to solve a little puzzle.
The set of pictures below is from Span No. 236 - April 1974, accompanied by the ToCo Mumbo Jumbo below them.
Maureen is such a corker of a dolly that no one can see enough of her, as they say. She lives down by the River Thames, which just keeps gurgling gently by her back door. She can fish from her large patch of lawn if she likes, and she has, in fact, been known to cast her line in first thing Saturday morning and fish all through the weekend until Monday morning.
That makes about 48 hours of continuous fishing. And as she's never caught a thing, is this a record?
Angela is all ready for winter in her very fancy DK’s.

Lynn Emery is a pretty, dark-haired girl giving us a glimpse of what she has under her skirt. These photos are from the 1970s they have just her name on the back.
Jodie in the office, Jodie on the stairs, and Jodie in the park. See more of the lovely Jodie in full colour from the Spick and Span 2000 range of eBooks.
"Hilary" is all that is written on the back of this picture. It's a nice picture of a very freckly young woman sitting against a dirty wall, possibly the back wall of a squash court, giving us a glimpse of her stocking tops. I can date this picture to the mid-1970s.
Yesterday, I was digging through a large box of mixed prints that I have acquired over the years, often in small lots as part of other collections. For the most part, I have no idea of their original origins. These prints are mostly originals from the 1960s and '70s. Sadly, most can't be shown on this site, but there are still quite a few that I can display. Therefore, I've decided to spend a couple of months showcasing some of them on the blog.
The others, I may show on the Brazen blog, which I am determined to update with more regular posts. All prints are up for sale and will gradually be made available under the relevant category on the BrazenBooks site.
To kick us off, here's a nice original small print from the 1960s that would have been sold as part of a small set. All the others I have featuring this girl are slightly more revealing.
What I would like to say is that most of these are of unnamed models. If you recognise anybody and can add a name, please add it to the comments or email me via the contact page.
London's lovely Reshia looks oh-so-very sexy, teasing us on the stairs.
You can see more of the very pretty Reshia in full colour in eBook Nos. 53 and 125 from the Spick and Span 2000 range.
It's always a delight to see Michelle. Here are two candid pictures of her in the studio, looking relaxed and thoughtful, and adjusting her stockings.
Super picture of Fleur from the Spick and Span 2000 Gold range of booklets. Doesn’t she look absolutely gorgeous with her hair up and dressed in just her underwear? A fantastic addition to any garden.
Why not meet Fleur in Books No. 4 and 13 in full colour? Spick and Span 2000 Gold.
Here are three more slides, all very amateur. These were actually developed by Boots the chemist—remember those days? I like them; they are nice pictures of Maureen posing in her mail-order lingerie and black stockings. The originals are in colour, with her knickers and bra being a very bright red.
I do have quality scans of all these slides and might consider producing prints from them, but I'm not sure how much demand there is nowadays for prints. You can't beat holding a nice print in your hand, though, as it offers something more than an image on a screen.
What a fantastic bra! Wouldn't you just love to unclick it to reveal the delights it contains? Remember those days. Scan from a print.
Here are two interesting pictures of our nameless girl from Brighton. Both pictures are oddly posed, with her messing about in the middle of the dining room table. These two were difficult to clean up due to their poor exposure, but worthy of showing. I like them; and look like a lot of fun was to be had.
