    Fabulous! I love Adrian. Apparently he is the one who started the “Joan Crawford shoulders” look. lol
    Who is the girl in that bathing suit with the hand and the flowers. That may be my favorite of all of them!

      It’s from the fashion show sequence in 1939’s The Women but I couldn’t find the model’s name!

    Joan in that sheer, spangled um, bolt of fabric is beyond amazing.

      With that backlighting you’re not exactly focusing on the dress (or, at least, I’m not), but it’s a fabulous picture anyway.

    Love it! Somehow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that picture of Joan Crawford before, but wow!
