Earl Carroll’s Vanities

In the original Feral Rabbit blog I had a number of posts organized under the topic of the Objectification of Women. In these posts I organized vintage erotica (photographs mostly) under various themes. What I’ll do here is post some of the photos, again loosely organized by themes, but these posts won’t reproduce the original posts except in some of the illustrative content.

Earl Carroll’s Vanities was a nightclub show in the 1930s and 1940s. Supposedly some of the most beautiful women in the world appeared on stage in this show.

To illustrate the variety of costumes, I’m reproducing 5 printed Mutoscope-type cards. These cards were available at least into the 1950s. Kelsey remembers seeing them at carnivals.

As time permits I’ll be making more photo posts.
