It
is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession
of a good pair of eyes - or at least a good memory - must be in want
of Sabrina. And in the 1950s and 1960s, the press knew that red-blooded
men could not get enough of her. Naturally, most of the coverage was
pictorial, but there were a few gems of articles written with just enough
words to justify publishing another picture.
Many
of these magazines (those marked with an asterisk) were generously provided
by the mysterious Good Sir H, who prefers to retain the
mystery of his true identity (as many of our contributors do - strange,
that!). He delivered to nylon.net headquarters a massive bundle of original
publications and glossy photos from the heyday of Sabrina. Several others
have been personally scanned and sent by the devoted David Jackson,
whose memory will forever burn bright in the Sabrina
Hall of Fame.
Each publication has been lovingly scanned to extract its full Sabrina
Goodness for distribution to the Sabrina Fans of the modern world.
Draw the screens, settle back, and enjoy the spectacle of Sabrina in
the magazines of the day.
The
first 3 publications are undated. Anyone with any clues as to their
publication dates, please let me know!
