Nicola Redway and Priscilla Waters may well be the best-loved and most fondly remembered Janus models of all time. It was obvious from readers’ letters that the girls were held in great affection from the moment they first appeared in Janus 23 way back in 1983.

They next appeared together a couple of years later in Janus 46, which was one of the most popular issues ever published. The front cover is a classic image – two giggling ‘schoolgirls’ look over their shoulders as they pull up their tight brown knickers. They returned for the last time together to be interviewed in Janus 48 before Nicola took her final solo bow in Janus 68.

We are proud to present this affectionate little New Year memento of the girls featuring many candid, unpublished photos that were originally taken for Janus 48.

A large number of images from all four appearances have been unearthed by our archive team and we hope you enjoy this small selection.

We can’t allow an update on Nicola Redway to pass without mentioning MarQe who is one of her biggest fans! MarQe is about to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of his fantastic blog, which you can visit here.
