Lulu in Hollywood Card by FirstNightDesign
Reposting the incomparable Tallulah yesterday gave me a taste for creating another of my Hollywood images à la Edward Steichen. I found an image of silent film star Louise Brooks from Hello-Tuesday and used the vintage wallpaper from MGB Stock that I’ve used previously (DeviantArt). It is, I believe, a still from Pandora’s Box (1929) — ‘The rise and inevitable fall of an amoral but naïve young woman whose insouciant eroticism inspires lust and violence in those around her.’ This time, however, I have done it slightly differently and given her a background of the wallpaper in its original form. The effect of this can be better seen if you click on Saatchi Art or Fine Art America.
“I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it will be with a knife.”
― Louise Brooks
“I never gave away anything without wishing I had kept it; nor kept anything without wishing I had given it away.”
— Louise Brooks

Translation – powerful woman secure in her sexuality gets taken down by men who felt threatened.
I can’t even imagine what the Hollywood of the pre-McCarthy era even looked like. Probably a whole lotta dangerous and a whole lotta fun! 😀

You know how I feel about Louise Brooks, Sarah. Beautiful face, flawless bob. She can do no wrong, where I am concerned. A lovely image of a fascinating woman.
Best wishes, Pete. x

Gorgeous image, Sarah. I watched the movie a few years back courtesy of The Showroom in Sheffield. A great experience. 🙂
