Feeling a bit naughty? This provocative young lady knew how to keep 'em guessing with her use of lush ostrich feathers. The texture alone in this photograph is appealing. Satin shoes, downy feathers, silken chair duster, soft curls, and smooth skin all participate in such an elegant seduction. Even her eyes seem to maintain a poise while the slight smirk of her mouth suggests mischief.
Although I could not identify who this lovely lady was, the bobbed hair and fan would suggest that she is from the 1920s to 1930s. Large ostrich feather fans were popularized in that period.

What a beautiful picture .. she kind of looks like Reese Witherspoon a little bit from the movie Water for Elephants

Have you ever seen a burlesque show? We saw one in New Orleans a few years ago and it was a blast. This reminds me of it.

I haven't yet! I've had a few burlesque dancers buy my jewelry and fascinators, but haven't gotten to see one yet. Someday!
DeleteClassic flirty pose. Beautiful image. And, boy, does she have great legs!
ReplyDeleteLove her face! What a beauty! x
ReplyDeleteWow, what feathers! Great photograph to share:) Probably a Ziegfeld girl.
ReplyDeleteYou are probably right Joanna. I did look around at the well noted Ziegfeld girls and couldn't make a positive id, but I think that is the most likely guess.
DeleteSo pretty!
ReplyDeleteMy in-laws would love this picture hanging in their home, I believe! You have a good eye for details.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend to you! :)
Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love that photo. I am fascinated by burlesque.
ReplyDeleteAnother great photo find (from maybe the 1920s?). I wonder how heavy those feathers are.
