[ShortClara]

[scotrace]

Uh... giant version?

 

[Blondie]

Her mouth looks really weird.

 

[Fletch]

Is she about to eat me?

NO, SUZY!! EAT ME FIRST!!1!!

[LizzieMaine]

Her mouth looks really weird.

She's saying SHUT -- OFF -- THE ---WIND --- MACHINE ----ALREADY!

 

[BegintheBeguine]

She was so beautiful.

Yes, giant version, please.
I already have her hair color. I want her coat.
The chin on hand pose is a toughie for a model, that's why the distorted mouth shape weirdness is going on.

Suzy Parker!!!

I guess along with Candy Jones, Suzy Parker was the first super model. Wow!

Yeah, but it's not THAT hard to do. The only issue with it is to not actually weigh your head on your hand because you can pull the skin on your face. I don't see how that POSE has anything to do with the psychotic mouth thing that's happening there.

 

[Miss 1929]

She's channeling the tiger that she is reclining on...

 

[Laura Chase]

To me it looks like she's saying "bliss". lol

Who knows what the photographer told her to do? I've been given some doozies of instructions. When I used the word toughie I didn't mean it was hard to do as in difficult, but hard, awkward, uncomfortable, unnatural to figure out what to do. Rowrrrr. She's a beautiful girl in an interesting photograph. It's my opinion and everyone is entitled to it.

It's a valid post.
I agree with NoraLoy: "that is fabulous.She was so lovely"
before anyone started eating anyone else.

To me it just looks like she's trying to do the open mouth pout but smile at the same time

 

[KittyT]

I meant "that POSE".

 

[Laura Chase]

Richard Avedon being the photographer, this pose is definitely no coincidence. She's drop dead gorgeous!

 

[Smuterella]

not a model but I'm in awe of this girls old Hollywood curves, and I'm annoyed at the negative press reaction she has been getting for having a healthy, curvy womanly figure.

I'd love to see her all done up in a fifties style, those hips are made for a tight pencil skirt and she'd make a great sweater girl.
