What is tattoo Tuesday about?
August 5, 2014
Theda Bara was an American silent film and stage actress. Bara was one of the most popular actresses of the silent era, and one of cinema’s earliest sex symbols. Her femme fatale roles earned her the nickname The Vamp. – Wikipedia
Theda Bara’s persona was an early Hollywood creation. Fox studios made up a history of her parents and upbringing. The photos of her remind me of a Gibson Girl gone Goth and, in spite of the erotic and just plain weird costumes, there is a certain innocence about her. She probably spent a fortune on eye makeup, though. She was born Theodosia Burr Goodman on July 29, 1885 in Cincinnati, Ohio, of all places.
Since it is tattoo Tuesday, here is one honoring Theda Bara.
