As an aficionado of bikinis, that's a real cute one and I would like to have it in my swimwear collection. I'd consider updating it by taking a scissors and cutting off the bottom frill.

Forgive if I mentioned this somewhere earlier in the thread. Memory is not what it used to be.
Photographer Bert Stern is possibly best known for his images of Marilyn Monroe's last sitting, but he also took one of the most iconic publicity photos ever. When driving over to the set of Stanley Kubrick's 1962 "Lolita" to photograph actress Sue Lyon, he stopped at a five and dime store where he spotted the only pair of heart-shaped sunglasses he had ever seen. He realized immediately that it fit the character. The result was that millions of movie-goers expected to see the sunglasses scene in the film and were disappointed. It also sold millions of heart-shaped sunglasses over the next decades.
The shot is actually a reflection that Stern shot into the outside driver's mirror of an automobile. Forty-five years later I won a photography contest with a similar "Tribute to Bert Stern" picture shot of a sunglassed girl sucking a lollipop in the front seat of my Porsche. I had to shoot it straight on instead of reflected in the mirror because of a problem of double image caused by reflection in the glass and also the mirrored coated back of the glass. Don't know how Stern accomplished it back then, but now I might have corrected with software. Did not go through the trouble after I got the shot I wanted.

Another photo that I want to replicate is the cover shot from Boz Scaggs 1976 album "Silk Degrees". My model would be the brother of the one who did the Stern tribute. The woman's hand would be supplied by my daughter who has been a hand model for engagement/wedding rings. There are very similar benches at a lakefront nearby.

Jackie Kennedy 1971
Posted on 9/6/22 at 3:33 pm to kywildcatfanone
That is a famous photo, "Windblown Jackie", by Ron Gallela, "The Godfather of American Paparazzo", which was included among "The most influential images of all time" by Time magazine in 2016.
Onassis told her security to "smash his camera". Galella was known for his obsession with Onassis and the legal battles associated with it. The 1972 trial Galella v. Onassis resulted in a restraining order to keep Galella 50 yards (later changed to 25 feet) away from Onassis. He was found guilty of breaking this order four times and faced seven years in jail and a $120,000 fine, later settling for a $10,000 fine and surrendering his rights to photograph Jackie and her children. Despite the hatred of many celebrities, his photographs were published in numerous magazines and exhibited in galleries across America and Europe, including the New York Museum of Modern Art. He died earlier this year.

I can't figure out why people think you put out a pedo vibe...
Posted on 9/6/22 at 4:02 pm to jchamil
I did not write the book, nor have I ever read it. Nor did I write the screenplay, produce or direct the film. I just appreciate good photography, which by the way is neither criminal nor pedo. If you can't appreciate a photograph simply as a artistic depiction without attaching your own unjustified interpretation of nefarious intent, that says more about the way you think than the way I do.
Have another Gallela photo.

I don't know a whole lot about Shirley Temple. For me the most interesting thing about her is she carefully cultivated an image of family values, old fashioned innocence, even becoming a Republican politician -- and was a lifelong smoker.
She generally took pains to quietly kill pics like this, but some occasionally got out.

What a lovely thought:
Mississippi and Louisiana merging….
It’d be bad for both States.

Natalie Wood

Carole Landis - she died at age 29 because actor Rex Harrison would not divorce his wife to marry her. Carole Landis was very popular on USO tours during WWII, and it was noted that she was one of the few celebrities who would visit at length with wounded soldiers.
