The Beauty of Retrospect: Beverly Johnson Week, Part Two

It's the face you always notice first with Beverly Johnson . . . that soft, soulful expression she always projects with her warm eyes, her gentle lips, and her magnificent cheekbones.

That gentleness comes out quite vividly in this closeup photo, with her hair pulled back, allowing the viewer to focus on her sweet, inviting beauty. :-)


But when Ms. Johnson needs to turn on the sex appeal, she does so with minimal effort, as in this 1981 photo, with a hair style that not only frames her beautiful face perfectly but with an outfit that shows off that magnificent neckline, her sensuous shoulders, and her sexy arms. 




Perfection?  Absolutely.  Her outfit is revealing, but it still leaves enough to the imagination.  If it left nothing to the imagination (and she's posed for such pictures, I should admit), I wouldn't post it here.

And as it's actually from a cigarette ad (the sort of ads Ms. Johnson stopped doing because she didn't want to promote smoking any more), if not for the airbrush job I did on the offending ciggie and the accompanying copy, I wouldn't have posted this picture either.
