Deco Dress

 

 I think it's an art deco design, though I'm not 100% sure.  Still, it's a great-looking dress.  And don't forget to use the other door. 

His Girlfriend's Clothes

  

Or perhaps his sister's.  Nice hat, by the way. Dated "May 1937"  

Happy New Year

 

Written on the back, "Sylvester, 1955/56" I don't know if Sylvester is the name of the photographer or the last name of the woman in the photo.   Whoever Sylvester was, we can be sure he or she didn't know on which side of midnight this photo was taken.  Rather dressy for a home party.  Printed on Agfa Brovira paper, so far more likely this was taken in Europe than the U.S.

The Dress

Believe it or not, I bought this photo because I liked the woman's dress.  It reminded me of designs I've seen in Frank Lloyd Wright buildings. 

It's Square Format Thursday!

How many times do I have to tell you people?  There's no such thing as square format Thursday!  So why did I buy these two snapshots?  Well I've always liked the see my dress pose, she's good looking, and I liked all the elephants.  But, is the old fashioned crank phone on the wall functional or just decorative?  Looking at these two photos, I'm guessing the fifties, and I thought calling the operator and asking for a connection was a long gone thing by then.

Fancy Dress

No name or date.  This one was part of a lot.  Anyway, at first I thought of it as a throw in, the type of photo that gets thrown in a box and forgotten.  But, after awhile, it grew on me.
