Gina
Curvy Gina was a backstreet girl in the nicest possible way. One of the central appeals of Spick and Span was the fact you did not have to be dripping cash and have some privileged access to some remote world where wealth reigns supreme (yes, you, Hugh) to imagine encountering the girls who appeared in the pages. Although our S&S photographer friend Shaw from Bearsden was obviously not short of a bob or two and lived in a nice detached house, many an iconic ToCo Publications pic was taken in a simple, modest room in some backstreet somewhere. Such was the environment in which Gina lived with her partner (though that word wasn’t in much usage in those days) and her young child in Peterborough. Gina was of Turkish descent and filled out her bra nicely. I teamed her up with Claudia Casali as they were of similar, shall we say, appeal. They got on like a house on fire and that is something you can look forward to it if you keep popping back to this blog.
