Femme Fatale: Vikki "the Back" Dougan



Vikki Dougan     Some of the best pin-ups to write about are those who, by marketing or just dumb luck,  came up with a gimmick. Take for example this weeks feature, Vikki "the Back" Dougan. As you can tell by this photo, and just about any other photo you see of her, she has the habit of wearing the lowest of low-cut, backless dresses. Dougan grew up near New York City and started her modeling career in her early to mid-teens (depending on what you read). As a studio model, she was pretty much run-of-the-mill until a fated photo shoot for Esquire magazine. For this shoot, Dougan had a notion of what she wanted to wear, and had a dress specially designed for her. That dress and a few other well placed publicity appearances helped forge her place in pin-up history. She, like many other models, had Hollywood dreams, but, aside from a few stage plays, never became much more than a distance satellite orbiting about the Hollywood stars. Regardless of anything else, Dougan will be remembered by those classic pictures of her looking coyly over her shoulder in her trademark low-back creations.
