alcr1 Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 In the movie "DuBarry Was a Lady, " when Virginia O'Brien does her Salome number, she twice mentions "oomph girls," and when she does, she strikes a particular pose (see screenshot). I'm wondering what the significance of that pose is. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txfilmfan Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I just assumed it was a parody of various over-the-shoulder come-hither looks, like these of the original oomph girl, Ann Sheridan: http://www.ann-sheridan.com/images/Ann_Sheridan%20(56).png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alcr1 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 I figured it was something like that. I searched "oomph girls" to see if there was a (very) similar photo. There wasn't one, but the ones you put up here are in the ballpark! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
