Lombard Looking FIERCE!
Carole Lombard looks like one hot mysterious Mama in this photo taken during her early Paramount days. It’s currently up for auction on the Ebay and I just had to post it! Behold:
I definitely had to do a double-take to make sure it was her. Very Garbo-ish I’d say. I’ve never seen this photo and dammit, I want to know why. The image looks so classic to me, like an icon for Hollywood’s finest. I want it.
The original publicity still is up for auction with a starting bid of $9.99 until June 17th and you can CLICK HERE to place your bids.
BIDDER BEWARE: This seller tends to have high reserves but for those of you with recession proof pockets- knock yourself out!
P.S. I added some images to the Photo Archives that you may or may not want to see.
This is “fierce”. Unfortunately my pockets aren’t recession proof. Would be nice to own this beauty.
I don’t know if the description should be “fierce”; to me, it appears “exotic,” more European than one expects from Lombard. I see some Pola Negri in that photo.
Vincent: I think “fierce” is slang these days for excellence, sexy or something of that nature. My 17 year-old is always telling me how certain outfits look “very fierce”. I don’t know.

Guess I’m showing my age, then…especially because to me, “sick” is still a synonym for “ill.” (However, I’m not completely averse to slang; I was just getting into understanding “getting jiggy with it.”)
According to Urban Dictionary, Fierce:
•
A word used by two fashion divas, Tyra Banks and Christian Siriano. It is used to describe someone or something that stands out from the crowd for all the right reasons. It gets noticed.
1: Christian: Yeah I’m..kinda fierce and kind of a big deal.
O my God, My outfit was so fierce!
2: Tyra: It’s gonna be…FIERCE!
Girl you betta work it and be fierce!
This one is new to me as well. I must admit, for some reason Carole gives me the creeps in it. Don’t know why.
That’s what I thought too Deena; Its irritating to me,; she looks SHARP (like Crawford*YIKES*) and THAT just AIN’T Carole…
Is this an imposter? LOL.
This woman’s features look different than Carole’s - more hardened and less soft. I’m thinking this was taken earlier in her career since many of her earlier photo stills showed off her big azure eyes.
Anyway, this isn’t one of her greater photos. I’m sure she would agree. LOL!
