This bathing suit was considered audacious, compared to the “modest” full skirts, often thick wool, over full pantaloons thatwomen were expected to wear for swimming, which would have drowned them in deep water.
But through photos and newspapers, it became so popular that Kellerman started a successful line of swimwear.
But as to this caption, there is doubt.
From Wikipedia: “Although Kellermann later claimed to have been arrested at Revere Beach for public indecency while wearing one of her suits, there are no contemporary police records or news stories corroborating this, and she appears to have invented the incident.”
BTW, she also became an actress, a lot of swimming roles in silent films, most of which are lost…. and was said to be the first woman to appear nude on screen.
Here’s a still photo from her lost, 1916, nude film, Daughter of the Gods.
Wow… image search kept steering me to broken links, incorrect images, and questions instead of answers.
But finally one comment on this image, on a Facebook page, said “Pittsburgh PA Trolley Rt. 48 Arlington. On Google Maps street view, search for 1034 Mt. Oliver St.”
Very handy, I suppose, if you live in that brown house.
Not terribly noisy, cos it’s electric.
But better keep a good watch on your pets and small children.
Steve McQueen, Robert Wagner, Faye Dunaway, William Holden, woman in long white gown, Fred Astaire, Paul Newman, Richard Chamberlain, Robert Vaughn, & O.J. Simpson.
I searched this image and found a caption, before I knew you had posted this, but the cast is not listed in order….
and it includes three women, when there are two in the picture…
Steve McQueen, Paul Newman, Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Fred Astaire, Susan Blakely, Richard Chamberlain, Jennifer Jones, O.J. Simpson, Robert Vaughn, and Robert Wagner.
So the woman in the long white gown should be either Susan Blakely, who is usually blonde, and not so glamorous (though you never know, for a movie…) or Jennifer Jones, who was about 55 years old at that time. It looks like neither of them to me, but what do I know.
I do like this pose… Not the usual awkward lineup.
Whoops-a-doodle!
Not actually late, but later than I thought a few seconds ago…
Here it is, my friends… the solution.
Not the solution to Cleo waking you up with a bagpipe concerto…
Or the solution to the puzzle of where she got a basset-size kilt, and all its accoutrements… (Ah .. such a satisfying word…)
Or to her persistent assumption of entitlement, her thinking that no one else’s sleep, dinner, happiness or needs can ever take precedence over her own
But at least the solution to finding (to the best of my knowledge)
the 9 small ways in which is these two panels differ
Yeah… I almost thought the same thing about the first one. Dunno why.
But I think….
As far as I can tell, it’s not the length of the pipe that changes, but the angle it makes with the other two… In panel 2, it’s raised up closer to the middle one.
Got ’em all. Quite sneaky on a couple of them, hard to see the difference(s).
Late? Nah. Or you can blame the seeming lateness on the time-shift to DST — I know that I’m still adjusting to the “extra” daylight in the evening.
Thanks for the official solution, Susan!
The way I learnt to remember the value of Pi to eight decimal places was from this phrase:
“How I wish I could calculate Pi.”
The number of letters in each word are the numbers. It meant I only had to remember 6 & 5, the next two numbers in the sequence. It saved time with maths problems at school if they asked you to calculate using Pi to four decimal places, or six significant figures, etc. as I didn’t have to constantly look up the values.

Ah! I see you have found my summer place.
What time is lunch?
Whenever you get there.
Been there many times in my early youth with my parents.
And Herrenchiemsee where I was allowed to sit with the driver on the coachman’s seat.

Um, not for nothing but – the arrow points to your left eye. And you’re not sitting. You’re standing.
Picky picky picky.
Jawohl!!!

Their eyes… when they both look at the camera, eyes wide and questioning… they look so related!

Cool.
But what about the woodpeckers, squirrels and raccoons, among others, I’m sure, that forage for pine cones, and eat the seeds?
That camouflage is a bit cuckoo.
BTW… I do appreciate that there’s a helpful inset picture of a pine cone, just in case we don’t know what one looks like.
But do they function as weather stations, too?

WOW!
I’d think with that talent he could get a better job than painting ceilings!
The stilts themselves are impressive… they look like they were made especially for that sort of work.
They are, plasterers also use them.
Cool.

Dunno whether this is from the same one, but once again we have modern UK football team rivalry edited into a vintage American Popeye cartoon.
The sport was almost unknown over here at the time, and that white font looks too modern, as well.

Looking at this, you can see why the mouthful of metal and gems that rappers and gangbangers wear is called a grill.

Or at least a pretty good cormorant.

Happy Pi Day!

It’s actually North American Pi Day…. European/UK Pi Day is 22/7…
But we can all have a piece of pi!
It isn’t round, of course… pi are square.
Oy. 🙄
I can’t have that – April has only 30 days…
