Bombs and Babes

I came across this photo while looking for images to put on a cover for a 1957 compilation CD I’m making to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of the parents of a friend of mine.

Miss Atomic Bomb

What could be more American than the combination of a mushroom cloud with a pinup girl?

For more information about the woman in the photograph, the photographer, and when and where it was taken, go here.

And check out the CONELRAD page about this CD/DVD collection titled Atomic Platters - Cold War Music From The Golden Age Of Homeland Security
