Bombshells: Marie Wilson

Lovely, innocent-looking, well-endowed comedienne Marie Wilson was a featherbrained delight instantly reminiscent of the zany Gracie Allen. Unlike Allen, however, Marie was a knockout--with high cheekbones, a wide slash of a mouth and a figure that wouldn't quit. IMDb That’s taken from golden age of Hollywood starlet Marie Wilson’s IMDb bio. Besides offering a less-than positive … Continue reading Bombshells: Marie Wilson →

Michelle Monday

Michelle, going full-on bombshell for the October 1991 issue of Vogue. Did someone say “bombshell”? The great Herb Ritts took these sexy shots.

By the way, that’s Yvette’s own outfit. Back when we hired her, we said jeans and a t-shirt would be just fine. She’s a real French minx … Continue reading Cleaning out the Archives →
