Bobby Sparrow: Bird With a Bush!


Something a little different this morning and one to warm you through on a cold winters morning! This original of Bobby Sparrow (love the name!) comes direct from Terry and his archive of vintage beauties that he’s had the pleasure of photographing over his career.

Taken in August 1972 at Pegwell Bay in Kent, this is one of two shots sent through by Terry showing Bobby posing nude on the beach in what seems to be a wig, but showing off her magnificent figure and bush! Until Terry sent these shots I’d not come across Bobby at all, and on searching there is very little out there about her. She seems to have posed for Oui in January 1976 and made a few appearances in some 1970s sex comedy films, but that appears to be it under the name Bobby Sparrow.

Bobby Sparrow Uncovered (1972)


Bobby Sparrow without her wig, and Terry remembers that he worked with her several times during 1971 and 1972, mostly shooting the stockings and suspender belt style photo for the American market. She usually wore the wig and the only picture of her without one is above, but it does match them to a similar one published in Oui.

Terry also recounts that she was a very lively girl and good fun to have a laugh with. “I remember one occasion when she proudly showed me her pubic area trimmed into a heart shape. I think her current boyfriend was a hairdresser”.

“I don’t know what happened to her after about 1973 as we lost touch, but I did see a rather distressing article in a national newspaper sometime in the mid 1990s. It concerned an ex-glamour model called Roberta something, who had developed MS and was terminally ill. There was a picture of a very sick lady laying in bed, and I just could not make up my mind if it was her or not. I do remember that her real name was Roberta, so it may have been her, or it may have been someone totally different”.

Thanks to Terry for the story and hopefully the last part isn’t true, and it wasn’t Bobby, but unfortunately these things do happen. Thanks also to Terry for more shots of Bobby at Pegwell bay and that heart shaped bush!

At The Water’s Edge with Bobby Sparrow (1972)


Taken in August 1972 at Pegwell Bay in Kent, a colour shot sent through by Terry Sparks, showing Bobby posing nude on the beach. This one is a great shot of her posing and laying back in the shallow water’s edge, and you can just get a glimpse of bush, plus all the goosebumps, I think she was cold!

Bobby at Pegwell Bay!


Another shot of Bobby Sparrow taken by Terry Sparks at Pegwell Bay, Kent in 1972. This shot comes from a set of original contact sheets by Terry and distributed to Lilo Korenjack who was his agent in Baden-Baden, Germany back in the 70s. I fortunately came across these and many other contact sets (over 700 contact sheets scanned so far!) by accident via Lilo’s niece, and now they are part of my collection.

A great shot of Bobby perched atop that piece of wood on the beach and a great smile too :)

Bobby Sparrow – Heart Shaped Heaven! (Original)

The final three fun filled shots of Bobby Sparrow taken by Terry Sparks at Pegwell Bay, Kent in 1972. These shots sure show Bobby as the model Terry remembers a ‘very lively girl and good fun to have a laugh with’ and we also get a great view of her pussy trimmed in the shape of a heart! The final two are fantastic shots, as any photographer will know trying to capture motion, let alone water splashes is hard at the best of times, but Terry nails it in these photo’s of Bobby. Not only is Bobby in focus, but so are the water splashes, which give the shots a real sense of movement and fun.

Brilliant shots and thanks to Terry for a great set of Bobby :)
