Alexis Smith
Alexis Smith in a perfectly photographed spin. I've already reblogged this over at Tumblr, but it belongs here too because of the time period and because it is such a great image. The photographer is not indentified.
You can see the original at the Simply Sassy/Retrogirly Tumblr blog, which has a very nice collection of images - cheesecake, glamour, risque, with some nudity.
See this photo at;

I recall another full-out Alexis Smith spinning photo in Life magazine - I believe in an Hungarian costume. I don't know if it is available online.
