Cheesecake With A Telephone Gimmick

The primary purpose of cheesecake photography is to compose a picture with impact which is capable of casting a spell of enticing charm. In creating this optical illusion, it is necessary for the photographer to accentuate that combination of physical attributes, i.e., the face, arms, legs, and bust of an attractive girl which contributes to her complete physical beauty. In order to properly accentuate those physical attributes of a pretty girl it is advisable to associate them with a gimmick. A gimmick as Webster defines it is a device by which a magician works a trick. During the past number of years photographers like magicians have been working tricks through the use of gimmicks. Some of the most clever gimmicks we have become accustomed to enjoying either in picture magazines, advertisements on billboards, or on calendars are fireplaces, telephones, playing cards, and many others. By posing a girl with a telephone gimmick there are many angles revealed in which her beauty can be delusively glorified. Comparatively speaking, a telephone gimmick is to cheesecake as the application of the proper seasoning is to a tossed salad -they both require a special applicable technique. In cheesecake a telephone gimmick is capable of raising an average picture above the snapshot category into that type of photograph which is able to entice additional glamour from a pretty girl who has been graciously endowed with physical beauty.

Sharon Walton - Black Silk Stockings (Elmer Batters)

Look What We Found!

Now that the response to our search for new COVER GIRLS in BLACK SILK STOCKINGS has provided us with an ample selection to choose from, we have unanimously decided on SHARON WALTON to be our first cover girl uncovered in our search for beauty. Strange as it may seem, Sharon was born and raised just outside the front door of one of the largest movie studios in Hollywood. It appears to us that perhaps the talent scouts in Hollywood have been so busy searching for this type of beauty all over the world that they just haven't had the time to discover Sharon who has been growing up under their noses for the past 19 years. Nevertheless, Sharon hasn't really tried her luck at being discovered since she is biding her time at home with her father and mother. In submitting her photo to BLACK SILK STOCKINGS Sharon wanted to prove to herself that she had what it takes to be a Cover Girl. We would like to hear from our readers as to what they think of our selection in Sharon. Just by chance if any talent scout from Hollywood should see this issue of BLACK SILK STOCKINGS while they're traveling on the high seas aboard a slow boat to China looking for new beauty, please feel free to contact us and we will arrange for their introduction to Sharon, the girl who lives just outside their front office door.

What is it that attracts and holds the eye of the male? What are the qualities essential to feminine allure? Let me give you a hint. It begins at the tip of the toes and runs to the top of the hose... legs and feet.

I tried to cast a spell of enticing charm with my photographs. The posing of a woman's legs is as important to glamour photography as seasoning is to a tossed green salad! And, incidentally, stockings without seams lack allure. Seams emphasize the curve line.
