You have found Sophie Dahl Rocks!
As the name suggests, this site is devoted to the coolest Supermodel/Actress/Novelist/Cookery Cutie alive today - and is even semi-endorsed by the woman herself.
The site has existed, in various styles, since 2003, and you are viewing what is more or less the third/fourth variant of the site. Originally built using a website builder program provided by Wanadoo/Freeserve, the buying out of these sites by Orange, who then offered a "payment" based website service has resulted in me rebuilding the site using Blogger to avoid it running at a severe loss - this means that you will sometimes see dates on screen, or in the menu pages, but it simply means that's when the pages were uploaded, and usually no more! But, crucially, it works well.
Pretty much anything and everything you wanted to know about Sophie is here somewhere - and the site is always expanding. When it was launched, the only Sophie sites that were running seemed to concentrate purely on magazine scans, so this site was launched to try and list the magazines, movies, books and everything else that had a Sophie involvement. Furthermore, it seems to be the only fan site on the net devoted to Sophie that is still up and running and being updated whenever it needs to be.
You are currently on the home page of the main part of the site, which is home to the "Sophie-ography". It appears in two parts - effectively, stuff from 1996 to 2010, the point at which Sophie more or less retired from full time modelling, and 2011 onwards. Scroll back up and click on the "2008" button to access the older material. You will then be able to view details about books, magazines, movies, music videos, and much more, from the "modelling" years. Scroll back up and click on the "2011" button, and you will get more of the same, but more or less covering the "novel writing and cookery" days. However, there is a bit of overlap throughout and I would suggest you have a look around, as there are a few bonus photos scattered around where you might not expect them! If at any point you are somewhere on the site, and want to find the 'other half', click on the "2008" or "2011" button dependent on where you are.
For a real view of just how much info is here, click on the arrow next to the "2008" button, then when it appears, click the arrow next to the "July" button, then click the arrow next to the "2011" button, then when it appears, click the arrow next to the "April" button - and that will show you all of the Sophie-ography pages in one go.
There is also a news page, found by clicking here: http://sophiedahl.blogspot.com/
That's not all. Details of Sophie's Ad Campaigns and Magazine Covers have their own microsites, and can be found by clicking on the "2009" button. From this page, you can also access "The Diary Pages", an in-depth account of Sophie's Red Carpet activities, with photos of virtually every known Sophie "event" since 96.
Remember, this is a fan site, so it may not be 100% accurate and 100% complete - even the news pages will sometimes be a bit "behind", but I will do my best to add news when it happens as well as updating the remainder of the site as and when. Many of the pictures used are believed to be in the public domain, but for any that might not, there are links throughout all the site to websites that contain the original photos (and more). Big thanks to Caroline Black and Ross Hardy, who have both been instrumental in helping with chunks of this site.

Enjoy!
