Bare-Naked (Famous) Ladies

Go to CruxDreams.com
Gypsy Rose Lee used to say that "you don't have to be naked, you have to think naked".

Looking back on pictures of that era (and pretty much everything before the 70s) it seems that the femfatals of the day took that concept to heart. The wearing of filmy suggestive clothing, the look on the face that said 'I'm thinking something naughty' or even more evocative 'You want to do what to me?' went a whole lot more to a woman's sensuality than today's "stars"

Sigh

Thus there are almost no fully nude pictures of Gypsy Rose Lee -
she left her audiences wanting more.
This is about the nearest image to nudity I ever saw.

Then there was Sally Rand, she of fans, bubbles, and crocodile bait. :eek::very_hot:

There is also Betty Blyth - I imagine Sympazero has seen these already, especially since I showed some of them in the "Solomon" thread. Her famous role was as the Queen of Sheba.

There’s plenty of photos of Clara Bow in the nude. But I only became aware of this painting recently.

It’s a reminder that it’s a shame that color film came too late to show audiences that the It Girl was a flaming redhead.

Boomers remember Joan Blondell as a plump, jolly, older lady in supporting roles. When she was younger she was visible evidence that at least some young women around 1930 preferred the shaved look. :rolleyes:

Oops! These have been kicking around the net for years; technically not fakes, just misidentified.
Not Joan Blondell. There are other wider shots (I have them somewhere) showing the cars the girls
arrived in - cars from the mid-50s.


Joan was born in 1907 - this is her in 1932 - at her peak.

The nude is about the same age, but the photo was taken 20+ years later.
Plus common sense suggests she wouldn't behave that way in public.
She was one Warners' biggest stars, she made 10 films that year for them,
always teetering on the edge of exhaustion.


I've always fancied the nude girl looks more like Gloria Grahame, who did
have something of a wild rep.

Now what was said elsewhere about certain males finding their passions inflamed by an expanse of a bared back (and bottom)?
Pp has long held a candle for Charlotte and, if she were to turn her chair and sit astride, He would be pleased to add some blush beneath her tan.

This is fun - there's a world of famous beauties out there generously
(and often surprisingly) shedding their clothing for our aesthetic enjoyment.


If there are any rules, keep them simple.
(Try to avoid fakes or manips.)


Tasteful nudity - or near nudity - hopefully surprising...

Hopefully the first reaction should be pleasant
as in: "Wow, she's amazing. I hadn't seen this shot."


The next reaction should be
"Now how can I manip this...?"
