Don't know about the 'Rankin', but I like this picture a lot! Kind of a Hollywood flair
This looks to me like one of famed photographer Richard Avedon's "Dovima With Elephants".
Extremely low cut but
not very revealing
That's why she looks elegant rather than sleazy, Chic. Agreed?
Paul: Is "Dovima With Elephants" a series of photos? Who is Dovima?
After thought: Or maybe she just put the dress on backward. Oops. I hate it when that happens.
Dovima was the leading sensation among European fashion models. Here, she poses for the August 1955 Christian Dior collection. The Richard Avedon photos ran in a 14-page spread for the September issue of HARPER'S BAZAAR, and were shot with Bouglione's Cirque D'Hiver elephants, in Paris. One review noted the photos as a "dramatic juxtaposition of diaphanous elegance and brutish power." This photo series remains extensively covered on the net.
This is a re creation of the famous R.Avedon photograph. The elephants are from Whipsnade, UK. Azizah on the left and Mya on the right. Azizah has had 3 bull calves from breeding with Emmett, sired by Indy(ex Smokey Jones bull) at Syracuse. Mya unfortunately hasn't calved but several AI attempts occurred without success.
