Marilyn Monroe Goes Skiing

Beach, California
Summer 1947 MM4720

Costume
   Brown and yellow neck ring halter and sheath deux-pièces. Red platform heels. Skies and poles.

   TML. Angle of the camera looks up into the subject so that we can see her crotch inside the sheath.

Actions
   We stand below Marilyn and she looks down and directly into the camera, squinting 'cause of the light from over our right shoulder (1). The snow skies on the sand beach is, of course, incongruous (2).
   Another pose from the same session, this time in front of an umbrella (3).

Commentary
   One year after Bikini Atol this young Hollywood starlet still wears a deux-pièces. But that is about to change.
