7 July 2010 - What time is it? It's Daylight Savings Central Mountain Sabrinatime! Yes - they are real clocks. And I have them!
From now on I'll always look forward to

And I made a Sabrina Fun index page.

A
Word
From
The
Web
Master |
|
Welcome
to the
Sabrina
Site
|
Sabrina -
Norma Ann Sykes - was the impossibly-proportioned darling of Britain, the
cast of the Goon Show, and most discerning testosterone-enabled beings
during the 1950s and 1960s.
Falling
more or less accidentally into an industry for which she was - at first
- unqualified, she endured, trained, paid her dues, and thrived to become
the biggest, least talented, most photographed celebrity of her day.
Was
she, as she herself once said, just a dumb blonde with a 42½ inch
bust and a 17 inch waist? Or was she an unacknowledged promotional genius with a native sense of publicity that would make most agents weep with
envy?
Please enjoy the phenomenon that was our Sabrina who - contrary to rumour
- is alive, gorgeous, and fairly well in Hollywood, and in
contact with the Sabrina Site!

Sabrina's songs. Not a large discography, but a memorable one. Sabrina sings the sexy blues on vinyl. |
|
Sabrina's plays on stage. Legitimate theatre, darrrrrrling! |

Sabrina's movies. All ten of them. She was always perfectly cast. |

Sabrina references on radio (featuring steam-powered Goon Show references to Sabrina - where this site began!)
Sabrina was an object of fascination and unbridled lust to the Goons - especially author Spike Milligan. Uncover the cryptic references to Sabrina that have puzzled some younger listeners, and forced older listeners to call the nurse and draw the screens. |
|
Sabrina in the Newsreels - from the days before TV news, the stars appeared before the feature film in the cinema. And Sabrina was often there. |
|
Sabrina's Short Films. When gentlemen's clubs needed to see Sabrina washing her hair! |
|
Sabrina's advertising was a powerful attractant to men with their trousers bulging... with fat wallets.
Of particular importance is Sabrina's infamous Caltex ad - still popping fly buttons 50 years later. |

Readers'
Memories of Sabrina. The knees may be older, and arthritic, but many still tremble with memories of Sabrina. Some of these memories are publishable. |

Of
Sabrina
Stuff |
If
you have, or can help locate Sabrina stuff, I would be delighted
if you contacted me. There are
precious few undiscovered pictures still to be on the internet but I'm sure there
are still a few knees trembling out there, especially in the UK, and those knee-owners
may have a buried Sabrina treasure or two in the sideboard. This is an international
philanthropic enterprise, for the benefit of red-blooded males everywhere!
Young
men: go to your aged fathers and grandfathers and say, "Do
you remember Sabrina?" If their eyes glaze over and they start
drooling, let me know. Personal
recollections of Sabrina are valuable.
You
knee-tremblers of the Sabrina generation: wait 'til the missus
is out and rummage through your secret stash of goodies you don't think
she knows about. There may just be a magazine, photo or love letter
related to Sabrina. Perhaps you have one of these elusive
goodies stashed away
in your pyjama drawer? If you find something, steady your trembling fingers
and let
me know.
(Puts "Land
of Hope and Glory" on gramophone)
Go to it, lads!
We cannot let the memory of Sabrina sink into the abyss of forgotten
legends. We owe it to our sons and grandsons!
(Wipes tear from eye.)
And the final
appeal is from Sabrina herself (in Mountains
of the Moon)
Thank you - thank you all!

Can I - by any freakishly
unlikely chance - help the
Sabrinasite by selflessly
looking at nubile, naked
naughty vintage ladies?
Golly. I know the chances are
REALLY slim, but is there any
chance at ALL? |
An odd (and long) question, but the odder answer is YES! Visit Retroraunch and enjoy 100 years of naughty naked nymphs! If you subscribe a bit, a tiny slice goes towards elevating Sabrina's assets!

Conclusion |
Thank you for visiting, and I hope some happy memories and loins have
been stirred.
Many people have gone "Corrrr - blimey - I remember those!"
since the first Sabrina page was created at nylon.net on 16 June 2000.
It moved to sabrinastuff.com on 1 Sept 2003.
Moved back to semi-retire at nylon.net/sabrina on 12 April 2005
Back to full steam in 2008. It's strange how things go.

the original site from way back when.
