This is a snapshot from someone's Hawaii vacation. The Lurline was a luxury passenger vessel that shuttled folks back and forth between the West Coast and Hawaii in the 1930s. There's a photoshopped version of this photo in which the young man's trunks are gone, but this isn't bad at all.
He's handsome enough. It would be nice to seem him naked, though.
ReplyDeleteYes, but that bathing suit was already risque' for the time.
DeleteI am TOTALLY against people photoshopping pictures to show them nude when they weren't. That causes a lot of distorted history.
ReplyDeleteI agree, and I've seen it done on everything from anonymous yokels to bigtime celebrities.
DeleteVery nice. I prefer the trunks on, makes it just as inviting.
ReplyDeleteYes, especially when we consider that anything else would be utterly fake.
DeleteVery true. It was amusing when they first started doing it, I find it rather tiresome now no matter how well they are done.
DeleteThe Lurline was the boat Jack Benny supposedly chartered (in his dream) for Marilyn at the cost of six hundred thousand dollars .. It was Marilyn's only Television appearance aside from the Union Oil commercial.. "Put Royal Triton in Cynthia's little tummy".. "RIGHT, lady!" and she was stunningly beautiful...
ReplyDeleteI had no idea MM appeared on the Jack Benny Show. Mr. Benny was so notorioulsy cheap (not in real life, though) that it must have seemed like a nightmare to spend that much.
DeleteI saw the episode on YouTube. It turned out to be a dream. In the dream, the cost of the boat turned it into a nightmare for him. It was an excellent episode.
