Yesss, early 20th century WAM is one of my favorite types. Will definitely be purchasing this when it comes out, especially if the love Natalie Creme managed to nail Natalie Wood's outraged and indignant gasps with every hit!
Truly spectacular shots, and there's nothing like WAM on film. You could have told me these were lost treasures from MessyFun in 1997 and I would have almost believed you.

The Great Race did come out in 1965, but SadBlue was no doubt referring to the fact that the movie itself is set in the very early 20th century, and that the lingerie worn by Natalie Wood (and by extension, magic_boy's own "Natalie" above) is supposed to reflect that time period. I don't know if it's accurate in that regard or not, but that's at least what it's supposed to represent.
And Mr. Magic, I must compliment you on what looks to be a very promising shoot! Love the way she's holding her tongue in your avatar photo:

Well!! Re forum "Laural and Hardy" date back to mid 1920's to late 1930's pre World War 2 are the original masters of "Slapstick" as it was known then, pre - wam/splosh world.
Right...TGR came out in '65...which explains why I saw it on TV as a little kid in '68. I understand the defense (by one poster) of the comment about 'early 20th Century wam' ...but the film is so CLEARLY NOT from that era, I had to take exception.
The corsetry worn by NW is not authentic (for America) -- American women would have worn long 'bloomers' (that covered the legs fully) in 1900 - 1915 or so -- but maybe semi-authentic in European burlesque / vaudeville performances (quite risque) from the early 1920s...by the 30's, of course, American vaudeville/burlesque shows (and even film, like those show-casing the Ziegfeld follies, etc.) had adopted the 'brief' look (maximum leg exposure, v-shaped front bottoms) or the 'show girl' look (though worn beneath flouted/full short dresses; more common in the late 1930s and 1940's (War era), as in the 3 Stooges short 'Flag Pole Jitters'. But don't hold me to all that...there's always some historical analysis that dredges up some image(s) that predate all previously known ones.
Love you, too
