Goodwood … Totty

I was going to post car porn today but Phil has requested totty and so totty it shall be.

Are these mechanics watching for cars?

Nope …
The Goodwood Race Queens come out for the start of every race dressed in clothes from different periods over the past fifty years.

Here they are in sixties, Mary Quant mode. Please, please, please bring back the miniskirt!

This photo makes me so happy. A pretty girl in a minidress and sweet and sexy vintage racing cars.

The winner of each race gets a kiss from the lovely Marilyn. A great incentive to race! The guy with the clipboard seems suitably impressed with Marilyn's ass!

Here's an old guy who is SO not getting lucky today! The girl's expression and body language is so reminiscent of my own attempts at dating … sigh …

Was Phil really trying to photograph the bizarre old Czechoslovakian Tatra here … or perhaps a different kind of rear end?
That sure is one sweet bippy!

But this has to be the best photo of the day. Thanks to Phil for this one. Just take a look between the old guy's legs …
I think he's pleased to see her.

I love this skirt. Gorgeous.The shoes are pretty sweet, too. And the luggage. It's nice to see people making an effort.

Here's one from last year that I simply can't resist posting again. I was photographing her lovely polka dot shoes … Honest!

We're not just here for the totty, though (do I hear disappointed groans?); check out this handsome gent's killer socks!

One of the nice things we noticed this year was a lot of the kids were decked out in vintage school uniforms. This little guy was getting chauffered around in a lovely fifties Swan perambulator, Cool!

This guy just tickled me. Somehow the image of Captain Fantastic just doesn't quite fit.The sign perhaps of a misspent youth.

Here's Phil, trying to charm some goodies from the Octane girls. I do love polka dots.

Sweet. A pencil skirt, seamed stockings and "fuck me" shoes.
Nice hat, too.

The Glamcab girls are here every year. If only London cabbies looked so good.
Check out those pins … Yowee!

But you know me …
THIS is true totty. C-Type Jaguar Heaven. Sigh …
Now we've got that out of the way, perhaps tomorrow we can go racing.

Hee hee hee!
I think it was Vivian Palmer at school who got me (and everybody else there) hooked on miniskirts.
Hey ho.

I take it totty is english for females, eye candy, girls, etc.
Yes, I aman uneductaed colonial i admit it however if someone called me totty i'd probably slap them.

dive said...

Totty is indeed eye candy, Kate.
Top totty is the best variety.
I don't know where the term comes from but I remember the Terry Thomas style cads in fifties and sixties movies eyeing up the girls and leering "Top totty!"
Hee hee.
Slap me.

Scout said...

"totty" is another word for the intercontinental dictionary, but I think I understand from the context. Boys. Sheesh.

dive said...

Girls! Huh!

Wowo, what is coming for fashion again? Not for me, but so pretty.

Smiles, cyndi

dive said...

Hi, Cyndi, and welcome!
I regret that the miniskirt doesn't seem to be coming back any time soon, but I would love to see those fabulous forties dresses return. Women look so graceful and elegant in them. Instead I share my office with girls who make themselves look ugly in cargo pants and shapeless sportswear.
Sigh …

savannah said...

lovely pics, sugar! xoxo

(btw, while i was out in lalaland, whenever i saw someone wearing cargo pants i had to laugh!)

dive said...

Thanks, Savannah.
And yes, those things are uglier than clown pants.
xoxox

Gosh - this is why I love your blog so much - it is so educational. I've learnt a new word again today - totty!!!

Mini-skirts are great but too often totties (is that the plural or maybe it is tottii???) wear them who shouldn't - gosh some of those girls who look like the back end of a bus with the doors open, should be jailed for squeezing into them.


Love the guy in the overalls - he'll have to go home and get straight into a cold shower so he can get them off!!!!

Katie said...

On my teeny screen the cars and women all look like bright shiny objects. Such fun! Ok, we're practically on the same timezone, but I bet you're already sound asleep. Ah well!

dive said...

Jules: I can't believe Australians don't use "totty". Hee hee.

I'm with you on the miniskirt thing. If they came back we'd have to introduce a law restricting them to girls below size twelve.

As for the guy's reaction, well, who can blame him? She's top totty!

10:56, Katie? Scrivens! I was asleep by nine.
The idea of women being bright, shiny objects is attractive if a little weird.

Were there cars in this post? I didn't notice any. hee hee.

Some nice looking....stuf here, dive.

I like that pinball machine retro from the 70's

AND I think you caught that old dude staring at Marilyns behind.

dive said...

I'm kinda jealous of the Glamcab Girls' Cortina … Oh to have those two sliding over my lap all day …
Sigh …

dive said...

I checked out the prices on some of the retro stuff … Five and a half grand (Sterling) for a Wurlitzer!
Sheesh …

Maria said...

I like the girl in the rolled up jeans with high heels.

I wear my stilettos with jeans too...

Uh huh...

dive said...

Hee hee. She sure has a nice … er … well it looked pretty sweet from where I was standing.

MmeBenaut said...

Oh I wish I had the figure for that pencil skirt and ankles for those shoes! Well, Dive, you know that the cars don't do much for me. As for starting engines, when my nephew was seven, I heard him say "come on willy, start your engine" when he was trying to take a pee! Needless to say, he is still mad about motor sports. Ahem.

dive said...

Mme: You have a lovely figure!
"Come on, willy, start your engine!" Oh, that is hilarious! He will LOVE you for telling that one to his girlfriends! Hee hee hee!
