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 bondage and 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. Marilyn Monroe Brigitte Bardot
