Love that clutch, and the shoes match.
The house she had built in Los Angeles was modeled after the White House, quite a step up from a childhood spent in poverty.
Elegant and alluring as usual.
La Jana's card is one of the "jumbo" cards that the Ross company produced. It's about 25% larger than a standard postcard. La Jana of course, still kept her outfits small.
Yes, yes, yet another postcard of my girl Edwina Booth.
This is an example of a handtinted (painted) card. Tinted cards were not infrequent, but sold for a bit more. This particular card is also oversize, though not from Ross.
Nothing better on a cool evening that a nice mug of cocoa shared with Billie or Bebe.

Love the Dolores Del Rio Screenland cover - beautifully subtle.
Agreed, the pastels are warm, yet still vibrant. It was rather beat up when I got it, but it restored very nicely. I like his covers very much, but all the classic cover illustrators and artists did some amazing work, and at scale no doubt!
Yeahhh.
Yet again, some great covers and photos! I particularly like the Hopkins cover. Nice post!
