A Blinding Pulse of Pulchritude

Yeah, Bette looks damn plush in her 30s-era bathing suit, but I tell you, fellas, Joan Blondell is hiding a corpus that could take you from 6 o'clock to 2 in nothing flat. 


If you can find one of her rare nude photos, you will see I am right.

Another One Of Those

...wonderful glimpses at a more adult vaudeville, and the evidence that even in the 20s and 30s, there were some really hot babes around, and that their clothes weren't always lame and dweebish.


Oh, yeah, those Marcy dudes knew something sweet when they saw it.

The Lovely Paulette

This photo is clearly from the early 1930s, and the lady therein is French. But her presentation and the lusciousness of her corpus is rather anachronistic, especially given the un-30s-like design of the dress she is wearing.


What a cutie.

If ya wanted babes, you became a Swami.


Much Obliged to Susi-A

Those Frumpy 30s Bathing Suits

Yes, they were pretty grandmotherly from our post-modern perspective, but, as evidenced by this photo, the suits generally did not incorporate the bra insert that later suits would feature. So, men back then could reasonably expect to see how robustly a young lady was equipped in the baby-mouth-access department. And, imagine how much that was enhanced when the suits absorbed some water.


Oh, yeah, things were pretty sweet back then, in some ways.
