China Girls

LA STRANA, AFFASCINANTE storia delle “China Girls”, le teste di ragazza che comparivano all’inizio degli spezzoni di pellicola cinematografica

Money quote: “China girls went by many names—leader ladies, girl head, lady wedge—but they were almost always images of women, and those women were almost always white. They were meant to show the person developing a film that everything had gone right technically; if it hadn’t, the China girl’s skin tone would look unnatural.”
