relief

The Rubenesque woman in the collage is Frances Rockefeller King, an aspiring actress, snipped from Vanity Fair magazine, March 1900. The ad for bras for large busts is cut from a circa 1960s movie magazine.  The word "relief" was sitting on my work table and seemed to belong in this image.

  1. I love this Angie! Relief is perfect for this. It seems like regardless of the time, no shape was ever just right and they all needed correcting. The Rubenesque woman seems much more relaxed and content than does the woman confined.

  2. Lovely! Yes, the pointy bra was a relief to dispose of I imagine - Madonna seemed to go for them in a big way!

    I made this for The Kollage Kit a while back -- the theme was IDIOMS or IDOIOMATIC SAYINGS.
