Happy New Year everyone!
Hollywood New Year's party, 1952.

That's the Tarzan of that day, Lex Barker, with his wife, actress Arlene Dahl. But they were soon-to-be the ex-Mr. & Mrs. Barker.
I couldn't help but notice Dahl's
, and the other lady's
, masks.
They made me think of a movie I saw as a little kid,
Queen of Outer Space (1958), that has haunted my imagination ever since.
The film starred Zsa Zsa Gabor & featured Amazon-like women who carried spears and wore elaborate (sexy?) masks similar to the masks worn at the 1952 New Year's Eve party.

Then it occured to me that perhaps the masks were made by the same Hollywood designer.
. . .which led me to
Jorgett Strumme (I'll return to her later)...Irene Cane (nope, not her either). . .umm. . .
This is going to need a lot more research.
