This is Charlene Dash in real life - unaltered by artificial intelligence, untouched by a psychedelic cosmetician . . . just the Charlene Dash you'd normally see off-camera. This picture was taken for a 1969 Life magazine feature on black fashion models gaining acceptance into the mainstream.
What I love about this picture is that it was taken backstage, as evidenced by all the utilitarian lighting equipment and wires in the background along with the light-bulb-framed mirrors. I would love to be behind the scenes of a fashion shoot or a fashion show, because that’s when you see models before they get all glammed up or after they’ve been de-glammed. And that’s how Charlene Dash looks here - devoid of any glam. And so she presents herself not as a model or as a goddess or anything like that. She presents herself as a woman. An extraordinarily beautiful woman, but still a woman as real, and as accessible, as any other woman.
The caption reads "She decides to die in spite of Doctor Bottles." It's from a collection entitled "A Widow And Her Friends" from 1900. This pieces was given to me by Maury Wilkinson, and then I framed it. It appeared in Life Magazine, and was drawn by Charles Dana Gibson. The series is commonly referred to as "Gibson Girls"
