Sophia Dawn – A Designing Young Lady!

Some more tri-colour goodness from the pages of Parade!  This time it’s the alluring Sophia Dawn in various stages of undress without actually getting undressed.  This double paged spread was from Parade No.1201 (15th December, 1962) and my favourite shot must be the one directly above, where she nearly got all her kit off!  

There was something about the sheer elegance of Sophia Dawn that just does it for me.  The lips, eyes and the beauty spot and that’s before getting any further than her face!

Another original scan of mine!

In Black & White – Parade No.1198 (1962)

The double Tri-coloured page from Parade No.1198 (24th November, 1962) featuring some lovely ladies in black and white underwear.  My personal favourites are of course Sophia Dawn in white, but also Rochelle Lofting in that black number!  From my own scan of the magazine with colours restored and the odd blemish removed :)

Cheese Cake Favourite – Gina Graham

Gina (Tina) Graham or Christine Carter from the centre pages of Parade No.1196 (Week-ending Saturday 10th November, 1962).  

Anyone that has ever owned or handled a copy of Parade Magazine will know how flimsy the magazine is and the paper it was printed on!  The Centrefolds always tend to be missing or very poor quality, but this one was stunning! The whole magazine is in very good condition for 51 years old and has retained it’s colour extremely well!

The above has been stitched together and staple marks removed, but other than that it’s pretty much as it looks in the magazine.

This shot doesn’t really do it justice, but a larger version can be seen … here

June Palmer – Expert at Squeezing!

June Palmer from the ‘Cocktail’ page of Parade No.1194 (27th October, 1962), which again confirms she was a proficient accordion player, amongst other things!  A direct scan from the actual magazine, purchased with 16 other editions of Parade from 1962/63 last week :)
