  1. These really are odd!

    Nice that Sweater Girl 1972 already has her future laid out for her.

    So writing on boobs with markers goes back at least as far as 1954?

  2. Hi there,

    I really nice idea to have a lifestyle underwater themed photoshoot.

    I am a Sydney-based underwater photographer and I just tried underwater photography with a model in the pool. You may have a look at my photographs for this first time experience: http://lennycliffbanger.com/p637654683

  3. Mom, born late 1920s, grew up in San Francisco, rollerskated everywhere, skate key on a string around her neck.. On especially steep hills, she had to walk the skates up sideways. She dated the servicemen during WWII. If one of them got "fresh" as she put it, she'd clock him with her skates.
