THE PURPOSE OF THIS THREAD IS TO DISPLAY PHOTOS ILLUSTRATING THE PHYSICAL BEAUTY OF LUCILLE BALL, AS WELL AS RARE LUCILLE BALL PHOTOS AND PHOTOS OF HER FAMILY.

In spite of the cigarette, I think this is gorgeous.

what do you suppose this was originally, a photo shoot for a cigarette ad?

I have no idea, but that's a good guess. She was doing cigarette ads in the late '40s for Chesterfield, like the one below, so this might have been another ad.

A great artistic layout. The pussywillows in front add a nice touch. Too bad there's that damn cigarette, but then what else would she have done with her hand? I'd like to zoom in on that ring!

How 'bout someone Photoshop this and replace the cigarette with a flower?

That was probably originally a cigarette ad shot for the higher-class magazines of the time like Vogue ( which had a higher status at one time than it does now ) or Esquire

Whereas the Chesterfeild ad shown #3 would have been for the middle class mags like Time or Ladies home Journal etc.

Ditto-fabulous photos NOVARick!

NOVARick · 09-28-2007, 03:39 AM

Here are some more photos from around the same period. I really love these color photos from the '40s. I guess color glamour photography was still a fairly new concept, and the photographers at the time seemed to be trying to take full advantage and explore all that they could do with color. With her flaming red hair, red lips, crystal blue eyes, and fair complexion, Lucille was the perfect subject for what they were trying to accomplish. Then they adorned her with these amazingly colorful and elegant clothes and jewels, threw in a beautiful backdrop, and the result was all these exquisite photographs.

She sure doesn't look like an ordinary housewife here, LOL. Very beautiful.

Oh God Rick, that pic is absolutely gorgeous. Minus the cigarette, that pic is perfect! The color scheme is just fantastic.

I absolutely adore that dress. I don't know abt the rest of you, but when I see the pic, I get this asian style look from it.

Mikado · 09-28-2007, 07:22 PM
