Style Icons Vol 3 - Bombshells

The most incandescent example of Bombshells is Marilyn Monroe. Her strange combination of ghostly pale skin, childlike face and innate erotic cunning render her hard to date. Unlike modern actresses we can't sense the stylist in her clothes, the heavy hand of a makeup artist or a photographer's over bearing concept. Clearly and hauntingly, her image belongs to her and it is equal parts spectral nymph, mid century beach bunny, haughty heiress and child star. With an hourglass body and a face like Shirley Temple the oddity of Monroe is her wholesomeness. She could sell diamonds or milk. She looked naked in a white cotton dress and perfectly dignified in the nude. She her clothes. Some say she sawed off one stiletto shoe heel a fraction lower to deepen the sway of her hips. Clearly she wasn't happy, and this just serves to deepen the myth and her lure. Her own words, "Being a sex symbol is heavy load" could speak for all of the women who traded infamy for scandal and some scrap of security.

Bettie Page, the underground queen of silk stockings, light bondageand leopard skin bikinis claimed very practical reasons for being a pin-up model, preferring the work to "pounding a typewriter eight hours a day".

They were a breed that we have not seen the like of again. Bombshells.
