Sophia’s Lovely Castanets


I recently won a set of 20 slides of Sophia Dawn over on eBay, and this is the first scan of those slides. Of the 20 slides, there are 4 different themes, but all seen to be taken at the same session. This shot is from a Spanish themed set of 8 slides that feature a topless Sophia Dawn in yellow Flamenco dress and colourful bead necklace. Most of the slides are close up shots similar to this, with the odd full length shot, but the quality of all is excellent for their age, with very little restoration required.

It wasn’t until I saw this set that I realized that Sophia looked very much like an ex-girlfriend of mine, both facially (without the beauty spot) and in her frame and boobs. Loving the green eye make-up and dark eyeliner, which all adds to the look of this shot.

Sophia & The Stepladder!

A restored image of Sophia Dawn posing with a nice red stepladder! Not much more you can say about it really, other than my granddad had a stepladder like that, but unfortunately it didn’t come with Sophia as an accessory!

Sophia Dawn – CC & MR Cover

Sophia Dawn on the cover of Connoisseurs Choice & Modelling Review Magazine Vol.5 No.9 (date unknown). I can never find any reference to dates on these magazines, but at a guess early to mid 1960’s and the setting looks to be at Ewhurst.

Sophia Dawn – It's All Glamour & Tin Foil!

A coloured shot of Sophia Dawn by Russell Gay, which in itself is a wonderful shot of Sophia in pink panties, but what’s with the background! It reminds me of ‘Blue Peter’ and ‘here’s one we made earlier’ with all that tin foil!  The tin foil covered base seems to pop up with regularity as well, especially on Russell Gay shots.

Simply Sophia

Sophia Dawn's Train Impression!

The always stunning Sophia Dawn from the pages of the ‘Kamera Winter Special’ on the Cinderella set by the fireplace.  Not sure about the pose as it looks like she’s pretending to be train like a little child, but I’m sure it’s supposed to be artistic!
