Surprisingly thug image.

Reminds me of George Carlinโ€™s 7 words you canโ€™t say in T.V. RIP George.

I feel as though the tommy gun should be in dudes hand. With it oddly sitting on his head it looks like one of those “I Spy” books from back in the day. Also thinking too deep about it

This turned out great

When I grow up I want to be her!!๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ

The last ones cut off, it’s actually “Tommy gun stuck in ear”

I’d watch that

Looks like a repost. I’ve seen this image 6 times.

That bosom isn’t very exposed.

Possible reference! Painting is โ€œDomina Meaโ€ by Rudolf Schlichter, painted between 1927 and 1928, watercolor and ink on paper.

That’s quite a photo.

Maybe I’m off my hinges, but I believe ya. That’s why I’m gonna let ya go. I’m gonna give you to the count of three to get your lousy, lyin’, low-down, four-flushing carcass OUT my door! 1… 2…

I like the cut of her jib

I need this framed in my living room

And in 2025, weโ€™d have to have a warning because sheโ€™s smoking. For the childrenโ€™s sake.

Wasn’t there a vodka advert in the 90s inspired by that pic…

Awesome.

Sometimes rules are a check-list to be broken.

Bold move. A striking way to challenge censorship, wow.

Fuck censorship.

Fucking awesome!

Society built off of fear. Tell someone not to do something theyโ€™re 9/10 going to do it.

Man she could violate me any timeโ€ฆ

Is that a hypodermic needle on the table?

This would make a great movie poster

A scantly-clad, drinking, smoking woman shooting a police officer. Was the most scandalous thing in 1930.

Wonder what a modern day Hays Code would look like.
