Steve’s desk and mine faced each other next to the window.” Rhody also noticed other “slightly odd elements” in the images, “like women who had huge or multiple pairs of underwear on, which I didn’t understand at first.” They married in Norway in 1971—and again in 1980 in Manhattan. This marriage was a happy one and resulted in two children, a boy, Tom, and a girl, Amber. Through his production company Nutrix Co.

A sus 85 años, Bettie muere en la ciudad de Los Ángeles el 11 de diciembre de 2008 por una neumonía. It was, in short, just the kind of setup that encouraged the two artists to kibbitz each other’s work. And also to lend each other a hand when deadlines loomed.

Almost at once Stanton recognized that art provided a unique satisfaction he did not experience in real life: not only access to a special fantasy world, but a sense of personal power: ‘I had control ...

I personally find these images delightful. Bambi's natural poise and femininity are so obvious in these early shots. Technically, I have greyscaled the original image, performed some "healing" and cloning to remove the inscription and then added the colour layers one by one.

Vintage Irving Klaw publicity shot of actress Acquanetta (July 17, 1921 – August 16, 2004) for the movie "Tarzan and the Leopard Woman" which released in 1946. He and Paula, who actually posed and took most of the photos, started selling bondage and fetish photos using burlesque dancers like Baby Lake, Tempest Storm, and Blaze Starr as models. Klaw always went to great pains to make sure his photographs contained no sex acts or nudity, which would have made the material pornographic and hence illegal to sell via mail.
