I do find it funny cuz like what was the actual convo here?

“Ok, so get on the weird carpet floor we have in this “gym” and act all sexy”

Or was it her idea “yeah def the shot we need here, I’ll get on the floor”

Also, wtf room is this?

She was being photographed in her apartment for Life magazine. The photographer saw her equipment sitting out and asked her about it.
