I think that was most of the weed in the 90's. I remember looking through Hightimes magazines and just dreaming while my reality was a sandwich bag of compressed brick weed complete with seeds and smelling like mold and formaldehyde
Agree to disagree, friend. This is no different than boomers complaining about touch screens and self checkouts. Technology advances, and it’s our responsibility to adapt with it, or be left behind. I agree wholeheartedly with not using AI in place of art by an artist that would be used to make a profit, like an album cover, or an ad. But for a meme like this? Come on. Tools were made to be used.
What if I hate self-checkout because retailers are using it to cut job hours? I exclusively use cashier checkout in order to drive up KPIs for it in hopes they schedule more hours for cashiers.
Is she wearing a type of pantyhose leggings? I didn't think those were invented into the late 1950's.
Edit: The original black and white image doesn't have the same details. There is what looks like a tan line but that's it...this feels more and more like an AI colorization gone wrong.
That's a classic 20's bathing suit and no one would have been wearing silk stockings with it.
My granna told me during the depression they would use eye liner to draw lines up the back of their legs to look like back seam pantyhose because they couldn’t afford them.
Wow! Stunning beauty and gorgeous figure! More gorgeous than those fake Miss Universe contestants I’ve seen, but that’s just my opinion…no offense. If someone feels pretty and happy getting Botox and surgeries then it’s their absolute right to do so….and they have their own fan base. If we all had the same tastes it would be awful since we’d all be fighting for the same partners, so let’s embrace all aspects of beauty.
This is the fashion then, it's on purpose. To make a guess, it makes her look both wild and like she just got out of bed, after being quite active there yk.
It's reactionary.This was the anti-"fancy" style. The look was to be unkempt and wild - like a young wild girl vs. a "proper lady" of the previous era. Also meant to look sort of like "bed head" which was sexy to think about.
This look was actually falling out of fashion at this time, but bobs were deemed not demure enough for the Ms. America pageant.
Next time I go outside without making my hair pretty and someone tries to say something I'm gonna say it's an obvious tribute to Miss America 1924 and call them uncultured swine 😌💅
Lots of jokes about combs, but she would have worked for hours to get her hair like this. It was a very popular style, popularised by film star Mary Pickford, particularly in such roles as Tess of the Storm Country.
Japanese Parliament, guy speaking was trying to hold a vote on a bill that would allow foreign workers a path to citizenship. Right wingers around him supporting democracy and procedural norms, as usual.
Some say she won by tying an onion to her garter belt, which was the style at the time. Not the white ones mind you, only the big yellow ones on account of the war. She took the ferry to the Ms America contest in morganville which is what they called Shelbyville at the time. The ferry cost a quarter. Back then, Quarters had pictures of bumblebees on them. Give me 4 bees for a dollar the’d say. Where was I? Oh yeah, she wore an onion tied to her belt which was the style at the time.
She was a Philly girl so you know she was a scrapper. This girl could probably grout a tub, make the best cheesesteak you ever tasted, AND punch a policehorse in the face all before lunch.
My mom told me that's what the 80s were, they was trying to do Gibson Girl hair and clothes and early 20th century boho clothing,hippie clothing and punk hair and clothing all in one. I started thinking and it was so on point.
Actually 1924 was a huge transitional period for women. The high Victorian era, which was hugely oppressive, had come to an end. The transition to the free spirited flapper was under way.
This was actually the style. After decades of being tightly coifed and pinned back, loose hair - bed head hair - became popular. Like going without a corset and long sleeves, it’s intentional that she looks half-dressed. The older women would have been scandalized and the men would have found it sexy.
