With warmer weather on the horizon, it's time for two images of Carole Lombard in a swimsuit, both from the early 1930s. First, this shot from spring 1931, released to promote Paramount's "I Take This Woman" (though I don't know if her character wore this):
Let's focus on the snipe for a bit more information on the outfit:
And since I was curious, Wikipedia defines grosgrain as "a type of fabric characterized by its ribbed appearance." Hope it made the suit "healfully helpful."
Next, we move up about a year later. We've seen photos of Lombard as a faux water skier, probably as publicity for "Sinners In The Sun," but not one from this angle, which even more than the head-on shot points out its artificiality. Nevertheless, it's Carole in a swimsuit, so who could complain about that?
The 1931 photo is available for $239.95 straight up or $214.95 for a minimum bid; the bidding closes at 10:38 p.m. (Eastern) Tuesday. Go to http://www.ebay.com/itm/SEXY-CAROLE-LOM
The '32 pic has a comparatively cheaper minimum bid of $159.95, in which case bids close at 10:42 p.m. (Eastern) Monday, or you can buy it now for $179.95. (It's listed in "good" condition, and apparently was used a number of times for publications.) Visit http://www.ebay.com/itm/CAROLE-LOMB
Nice pix to look at, even though summer is still some time away. As I write this, the temperature is 42 degrees, with a wind chill of 36.
