Let's have more photos from the Office of War Information. Was this one just a test shot while waiting for Betty Grable to arrive?

Look at her shoe, you cur!

He moved the portable radio off of his desk, but not the blueprint of it. It's tough to see that even the mannequins have to go through the "interview" process with the head of the art department. This is the first posting that got me laughing out loud when I saw it. What was he thinking when he posed for this one?

[The blueprint shows a Sherwin-Williams paint display, not a radio. - Dave]

I wondered how people missed things like that. Now I know! I didn't look closely enough when I read the comments for the first photo. I stand corrected. https://www.shorpy.com/node/14348

Worth a million at a bachelor party. The negatives would be worth even more.

There's much to comment on here that I will, in the interest of good taste, leave alone. Interesting that even the cover of the Life magazine has the word, "arms" displayed. Perhaps it is the model's subliminal plea for said appendages. The shoes, though, are rather snappy.

Inspiration?

I'm just a lonely boy

Regardless of what Rod Serling might say, the model IS cooperating. Why else would a mannequin be in that position?
