LTL PRINTS has launched an exclusive collection of BERNARD OF HOLLYWOOD wall graphics, featuring 'Larger Than Life' images from the archives of the legendary photographer of Hollywood's Golden Era, Bruno Bernard.

This Bernard of Hollywood premium wall graphic - featuring the legendary ecdysiast Lili St. Cyr - is available exclusively through Makers Market.

Bruno Bernard, professionally known as Bernard of Hollywood, was one of the most sought-after glamour photographers of Hollywood's Golden Era. He has been called "the Rembrandt of Photography," and "the discoverer of Marilyn Monroe." He was the first still photographer to be honored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, in 1984, with an honorary exhibition of 150 of his photographs of such luminaries as Clark Gable, Marilyn Monroe, Gregory Peck, Ginger Rogers, John Wayne, Marlene Dietrich, Rita Hayworth, Elvis Presley, Lucille Ball and many others. His legendary studio on Sunset Boulevard, a Hollywood landmark for decades, opened in 1943, and Bernard soon branched out to his desert oasis at the Palm Springs Racquet Club, and to the exclusive hideaway for the stars at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas, where he ran a glamorous penthouse salon photographing headliners and the most gorgeous showgirls of the time...

Including his favorite model and muse, Lili St. Cyr - now available 'Larger Than Life' for YOUR walls.

    This will go nicely with my Cigar Store Indian statue and my vintage Playboy collection.

  • Ugly Canuck

    Maybe she’s a Chicago Black Hawks fan (dancer)?
    I mean, with those feathers and all.

    that could be the sexiest picture I’ve ever seen

  • Thad E Ginataom

    Soft porn comes to BoingBoing …

    Not that I mind: so long as nobody pretends it’s anything else.

    • TEKNA2007

      I’m ok with it.

      In this particular case, extremely ok.

    There’s some kind of bug with your RSS feed. When I tried to click through from the RSS posting directly to the Market I got an error. If I click the link from this page it works fine.

    Also? God bless Lili St Cyr!

    • Antinous / Moderator

      I corrected the post. It’s probably just a system delay or a caching problem.

  • yri

    Heh – somehow, I utterly failed to notice the war bonnet.

    Gorgeous picture of a gorgeous artist.

  • ciacontra

    Huh. Today’s word for the day: “ecdysiast”.

  • Art

    I want that upholstered armchair.

    Can you hear me?

    I WANT THAT G-D DAMN CHAIR!

    I WANT IT NOW!

    :)

    • bellhalla

      Who are you? Sig Hansen or something?

  • Shoomlah

    Huh, wow- I adore vintage pinups, but there’s something extremely off-putting about owning a 50″ portrait of a scantily-clad white woman draped inside a Sioux warbonnet.

    • Anonymous

      “…a Sioux warbonnet”
      is that what that is? When I first saw it I thought she was stepping out of (or maybe into?) a giant feather vagina.
      Yum… full of Freudian goodness.

      As an aside to whomever can fix such things, the link to the product in question doesn’t work. All you get is “something went wrong”. It’s missing some single quote maarks.

      What ever happened to Fay Wray?

        Antinous: She went apeshit.

        That delicate satin draped frame …

        • wrybread

          Oh ok, but only just because:

          As it clung to her thigh…

          • TEKNA2007

            Umm … whose turn is next? I don’t think it’s me. ;)

    • wrybread

      I had the same association, glad to finally know who she is.

      (For those who don’t know, Ernunnos is quoting Rocky Horror).

    Beautiful photo and since it’s pre-Photoshop, those legs must actually be that long.

    But for me, I want the chair. Where can I get the chair!!!!!

  • dragonfly10305

    @Shoomlah… maybe this one is more to your taste?

  • arkizzle / Moderator

    How I started to cry..
    For I wanted to be dressed just the same.

    • TEKNA2007

      Beautiful, perfect, thank you Arkizzle. Don’t dream it, be it.
