posted by Veronica Parra in one of her recent 'colour photos' posts (i forget which one, my mind is in a whirl) i found this 1942 cutie. i don't mind telling you i've gone ga-ga for her charms. ok, so she's probably long past her prime by now. but look at her curly hair and slightly crooked teeth !
oh my.

Do you know where this leads???

Have you seen "Somewhere In Time????"

:eusa_doh:

BTW, she is ridiculously adorable and I have had similar reactions to pictures like these.

...she is ridiculously adorable...

I am so stealing that line.

Worse; dressing vintage, lying on a bed, and wishing really hard that you were back in time. :eusa_doh:

You're welcome to it!

and wasn't there a penny involved also? Very much a chick flick

i do that already.

Like this though???

And Mysterygal, I think there was a penny involved, not that I've ever seen this movie, mind you.

You know, as soon as I saw those photos I thought "I want to be like her." What a lovely countenance is expressed in those photos. So very Kate Hepburnish.

And Somewhere in Time used to be my favorite movie. So sad, but so good. And the costumes were good for the girls.

Black Dalhia

I noticed this cutie has the same type waterfall curl down the front of her forehead that Elizabeth Short liked to wear. The ol' Black Dahlia herself.

What interests me is

What would this young girl think of the internet? There was barely television.

And, if she is still alive (at least 80 by now), would she be pleased or mortified to be ogled so? Probably pleased, at least secretly so.

 

[herringbonekid]

you mean if she was zapped into the present day and saw herself the subject of a 'post' on a global digital network ? i think she'd be freaked, to say the least. in a pretty way.

 

[mysterygal]

freaked no....well, maybe invisioning you thinking about her on your bed...might come across as a little obsessive .....It would probably make her day getting these kind of compliments

 

[Lena_Horne]

i do that already.

I do it as well. Darn it. *snaps fingers* What's worse was the first realization that everything had indeed passed me by...

I have a weak spot for a gal who can pull off a Golden Era look, whatever her age.

Such as Dita Von Teese?

By the way, the photographer was married at the time, but he had quite an eye for photographing airline stewardesses and such.
