Seated on a stool before a glamorous make-up vanity reminiscent of a Hollywood backstage scene, Marilyn Dean exudes stage-ready allure. The set glows with red stage lights, a green fur adorned with decorative bows, and vanity bulbs casting a warm radiance. Her costume—a glittering green piece worn low at the waist—leaves little to the imagination, paired with matching sparkly pasties that gleam under the lights. The pose blends playful showgirl confidence with the intimate glamour of mid-century pin-up photography.
