Her Zodiac Pal

I love finding things like this - an adorable publicity release about Dorothy showing off her zodiac sign as embellishments on her clothes. What didn't the MGM Publicity Department think of?! When I think of all the photos I have seen of her doing silly things or wearing crazy outfits I can imagine they didn't miss much. At least this is alot less goofy than the license plate dress shown in an earlier post.

License to Dress!

Dorothy, Aviatrix Extrodinaire

What an exciting time it was in the late 1920's... Charles Lindbergh made the first transatlantic flight and all the world was captivated. What a perfect opportunity for MGM's Publicity Dept..

Here's the Original Bathing Suit Photo

Goodbye Summer, Hello Bathing Suits!

By 1927, girls knew how to swim in style!

Dorothy on the doghouse?

I never get tired of finding new Dot pictures. When I got the last bunch of magazine pictures and articles this was one of her sitting on top of a doghouse (right) isn't it funny? What didn't the MGM publicity department think of?! This series of photos, taken by William Grimes in 1929, has her painting, gardening and even carrying around a large old pump bug spray gun.. And doing all her chores in heels too!
