~Timeless~ PS: I know, it's not Marilyn Monroe. I couldn't get her for this photoshoot, and the stockings are my personal addition. 😋 During the filming of a scene for the 1955 movie "The Seven Year Itch", director Billy Wilder took Marilyn Monroe to the streets of NYC to stand over a sidewalk subway grating. Every time a subway train passed by underneath, Monroe's dress would billow up to the amusement of the photographers, creating one of the most iconic moments in pop culture history. The dress, designed by William Travilla, became legendary, and the moment itself is often cited as a defining image of Monroe's career. The photoshoot took place on the night of September 15, 1954, at Lexington Avenue and 52nd Street in Manhattan. A large crowd gathered to watch the filming, which reportedly went on for hours as Monroe repeatedly performed the scene. The playful and flirtatious nature of the moment, combined with Monroe's charm and charisma, captivated onlookers and photographers alike. However, the event was not without controversy. Monroe's then-husband, Joe DiMaggio, was reportedly unhappy with the scene, as he felt it was too provocative. This incident is often cited as one of the factors that led to their divorce shortly afterward. The image of Marilyn Monroe with her dress billowing has since become an enduring symbol of Hollywood glamour and sensuality, cementing her status as a cultural icon. The filmmakers took advantage of the public setting to generate buzz for the movie. Photographers were present, and the images of Marilyn Monroe with her dress billowing in the air became instantly famous, even before the movie was released. However, the original footage shot on location in New York, with the large crowd and real subway grating, was deemed unusable for the final cut due to various issues, including the difficulty of controlling the environment and capturing the scene perfectly amidst the chaos of the public setting. As a result, director Billy Wilder recreated the scene in a controlled studio environment, where they could better manage the lighting, airflow, and other technical aspects. As a result, the scene in the final movie ended up "mild" compared to the on-location photoshoot in the streets of NYC, with the dress only slightly moving. 3D pose and camera set in Poser, imported with my OpenPose plugin, rendered in Stable Diffusion, postwork in PaintShop. #female #sexy #pinup #billowing #dress #blonde #classic #glamour #dress #beauty #OpenPose #StableDiffusion
