Our Diora
Published in Playboy in August 2005, Our Diora is a golden, cinematic nude of actress Diora Baird, photographed by Odette Sugerman in an opulent Pasadena mansion. Conceived as an homage to the French film Belle de Jour, the image casts Baird in a world of gilt furniture, satin, mirrors, and candlelight, with the poise and theatrical glamour of classic European cinema.
Baird was a working actress when she posed for the magazine, known for film and television work including Wedding Crashers. Behind the camera was Odette Sugerman, one of the few women photographers represented in the collection. British and raised on Vancouver Island, Sugerman spent a decade as a hairdresser before teaching herself photography, bringing a refined, sensual eye to this first major Playboy assignment. Baird's resemblance to a young Catherine Deneuve gave the pictorial its visual key.
Baird described her fascination with Deneuve simply:
I got addicted to her movies and wanted to be like her.
In Our Diora, Baird is posed across an ornate gilded chair before a gold-framed mirror, an open ivory shirt falling from her shoulders, black-banded stockings and heels catching the light. The reflection doubles the scene, turning the room into a chamber of satin, gilt, and honeyed shadow. The whole frame feels less like a studio nude than a still from a private European film.
Photographed by Sugerman, modeled by Baird, and preserved within the Playboy Legacy Collection, the work is part of the forty-eight-print archival edition released for Playboy's 50th anniversary.
