Book Description

March 1, 2003
Sexy swimwear has evolved along with the times. The sun-kissed bodies that filled the seams have always caught the eye of appreciative onlookers. Throughout the nation-defining decades of the 1930s and 1940s, the flawlessly famous bodies of models and movie starlets were often found clad in sexy sunwear and swimwear for the eager eyes of the world.

Throughout the pages of this first-of-its-kind book, you are bathed in the glowing images of swimwear that revealed the lives and livelihoods of the starlets and models that prompted our beach bound desires. Sun worshipers of every generation will enjoy the nostalgic images of the bathing beauties found between the covers of Sunkissed.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great 30s - 40s fashion reference, April 17, 2006
This review is from: Sunkissed: Sunwear and the Hollywood Beauty (Hardcover)
It's obvious that "Sunkissed" is a labor of love. A nostalgic look at the glamor that was once Hollywood, "Sunkissed" is a trip back in time. The author, Joshua Curtis, captures the essance of the golden age of motion pictures with brilliant color layouts, original photographs and accurate text. This is one of those rare books that should occupy a perminant spot on the shelf because it will never become dated or out of style. A pure joy for any fan of the 1930s and 40s.

5.0 out of 5 stars Retro resource, August 6, 2005
This review is from: Sunkissed: Sunwear and the Hollywood Beauty (Hardcover)
Great photos, lots of them--my only wish is it went up to 1959 and included more of the 50's. Not many of these beauties look that tan so 'sun kissed' is a good term. If you're looking for a good resource for period bathing suits this is it.

MrsSchmidlapp (Hollywood, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunkissed: Sunwear and the Hollywood Beauty (Hardcover)
This is a book that any classic movie fan will love. It is filled with gorgeous photos of movie stars modeling swimwear. Many of the photos are in color and I have never seen them published anywhere else. Paulette Goddard, Betty Grable, Carole Landis, Gene Tierney, Marie McDonald, and Marilyn Monroe are among the many actresses featured in this terrific book. There is also a nice forward written by Ann Rutherford.
