Everyday Women of the Golden Era

[Katinka von K.]

Probably "unsavoury ladies." lol 1940s police photo!

Damn, those "ladies" have some fine legs

I recognized this photo right away. Lake Delton is only about 20 minutes from where I live and these souvenirs turn up all the time in these parts. Perhaps I should get some of them and post them up.

About 1954

College kids in 1926:

Are we certain this is 1926 and not 1936? I'm no expert, but those clothes just don't say twenties to me.

Those skirts are about six inches too short for 1936, but just right for 1926. The Harold Teen pants on the guy look about right for a twenties campus as well.

Thanks Lizzie! Like I said, I know what I like, but I'm no expert. What are Harold Teen pants exactly?

Harold Teen was a very popular comic strip character in the 20s, and an avatar of youth fashion ---

Scanned from a 1926 yearbook. Can't get more certain than that.

 

[Amy Jeanne]

I don't have a 1936 yearbook, but I have 1935:

 

[Flicka]

I just found an old album of my grandmother's from when she spent a summer in Austria in 1938 (at 13) and there were some gorgeous shots in there - everything from old ladies to teenage girls in swimsuits. I'll see if I can get Mum to let me scan some of them so I can post them here.

You know, I'm going to venture a guess that perhaps these "ladies" are actually policemen in wigs and women's clothing.
