Oh, cool!
I'd like to borrow that photo for an avatar someday, if you're not going to. Terrific photo.
:D Scandalous:D
I'm sure there's a story, because back then, that probably was an inappropriate pose. But, notice how every square inch of skin is covered. Wow, I can't imagine how uncomfortable that would be on a pretty day.
Zen,
Is that your photo (it looks like a scan) or did you find it on the web?
It looks like she's wearing a graduation cap and gown. Double sassy. Go, girl.
Anyone recognize the fountain to i.d. the location?
What a chic :cool:
I bet she wasn't so loved by other typical housewives :p
That is just too cool! Gotta love the 'tude back when it wasn't ok for her to have one. ;)
Oh yeah!
Those curves!
That pose!
Who is she? Where and when?
I've seen that pic somewhere before but can't remember where. I believe the photo was taken somewhere in London. At first I thought it was Hyde Park but I'm more inclined to think maybe Crystal Palace which was popular in Victorian and Edwardian times. I also think the lady in the pic was titled - Lady Something-or-Other and it is either very late Victorian or just into the Edwardian era (judging by her hat and leg-of-mutton sleeves which were popular in Edwardian times).
It's really annoying me because I've seen this before, along with the write-up of her. Just can't remember where.
The women of that era must have been really uncomfortable, and if that skirt got caught up in the wheels...ouch!!!
I wonder if this lady was alive today what she'd say about how we dress and the different types of bikes we ride?
It's kind of interesting, her face is kind of puffy, but her waist is tiny!!!
She actually looks tired to me. Can she breathe?
