Believe it or not, that was a very fashionable hairdo, much like those worn by her favorite stars of silent film.
Clean hair wasn’t as desirable as curly, and nobody minded a bit of frizz, as they do now.
Young women combed scented oils or pomades through their locks, and their mothers or friends would help make those tight “rope curls” with a cylindrical metal curling iron, heated on a stove burner.
Having naturally curly hair, like hers, helped keep them in.
Being, I’m sure, a teenager, she probably wasn’t allowed to bob it, or use a lot of beauty products.
The Miss America pageant was very small, and meant for women too young to be married, though some secretly were.
My 7th grade teacher quoted, “Dimple on chin, devil within!” Maybe not so acceptable these days, but often seemingly true, I don’t know why. Wonderful girls, but allow them some space to explore who they are and who they will become.
When I was really young, we kids hated it if a grown-up sat in the back seat and actually put ashes in our fought-over crayon and small toy containers.
Bad enough that we had to rotate our positions, and take a turn in the middle seat with no access to one…. plus riding with our feet on the “hump”.
Is the gozintas, or the gozoutyas?
You’re right, Susan – I included an extra “y” by mistake.
“Goes in tos” and “goes out tos” was the general meaning. 😉 I usually use them to define a project. If you can define your gozoutas clearly, you can see if you have (or can acquire) the right gozintas to make it happen.
Used to watch Sgt. Preston on TV.
I don’t remember it as well as Rin Tin Tin, but the main attraction for us kids was his German Shepherd, a very large one named King.
Then a neighbor kid told us King was a husky, not a German shepherd…. I think that’s how I found out about huskies.
However… Now that I’m older and know more breeds of dogs…. I’m pretty sure King was actually neither, but a malamute.
spotted the original EWC on a recent walk near an area that was recently flooded.

They both look like they’re on an excursion from the USS Enterprise. Might want to be careful wearing the red shirt……

Ok, I just looked her up…
She was 18, and actually quite beautiful, I think.
This was only the 4th pageant.
Here she is with her mother that same year.
OMG – Steve you made me Lol.

Who didn’t see that coming? I mean other than the poor old lady.
Oh, yeah!
Not old enough to still have one, but certainly old enough to remember them.
Yup.
Yes, though they weren’t that common over here. Our cars were generally a lot smaller.

I burned a nice round hole in the upholstery testing the pop out lighter once.
Absolutely. And still call that thing the cigarette lighter even though the official name is something else and I’ve never smoked.

Obvious portrait, but of whom?
I’ll betcha it’s a guy. With a mustache.
This one is by Russian artist Oleg Shuplyak, another famous painter of optical illusion.
i don’t know if it’s meant to be a real person, but he definitely has a large gray mustache.
Me too.
And some. 🙂
Yes; we’ve appreciated the picture. 😉

The clothesline is the cherry on top.

Before I figured out what you mean (I think!) I googled those words, and I’m pretty sure you don’t want to use the second one.
If you do mean what I think you mean… I’d say they’re being gathered for the voyage, not being released afterward.
It looks like the flood hasn’t yet occurred, and there may even be a few extras of some animals somewhere in the painting.
Don’t forget the gazundas! The ones the went under the bed for late-night emergencies…
This MARIUS VAN DOKKUM painting has been made into a jigsaw puzzle.

Great detail, no matter what scale it is to the landscape.

Meanwhile…. Does Sgt P have his gun on a lanyard?
Yes. It was a requirement for many police forces in the British empire.
Next trick is to get them to fly hypersonic!
I’m sure someone is working on that.

Yup! So what are the other things? Baby dinosaurs?
1/4 notes.
Lol.
4-legged ones
That’s what I think. With huge heads like bean plants sprouting.
Got it.
We’re not supposed to make political comments here, right?
But we can like coffee and donuts, right?

The EWC might have met it’s match..
Dude has an eye for that. That’s why i read his stuff.
So this is where Graham gets some of his stuff.
I don’t think Graham has a 2-way viewer, to see the sites where his work is posted.
