Two ladies by the Canellopoulos penthouse pool, Athens, July 1961.
When we wanted to find pictures of 50's & 60's beauties sitting by the pool, we knew to look no further than Slim Aarons, because nobody did poolside photography like him.

Chatting poolside.
"Photographing attractive people doing attractive things in attractive places"
This was Slim Aarons' motto for life, and did he ever!
Amazing cat-shaped pool at the Fontainebleau Hotel, Miami, circa 1955.
Nothing better than a coconut on a hot day!
Dolores Del Rio floating in a swimming pool in Acapulco, 1952.
Everything about this is perfection.
Oh how we wish we could sit poolside with Slim Aarons.
Striped beauty.
We want to know these girls!
"Two bikini-clad holidaymakers enjoy a glass of wine outside the Carlton Hotel, Cannes."
...We want to be "holidaymakers"!
Happy Sunday lovelies!
We hope you liked our poolside inspiration!
