If I could turn back time

this is precisely where I would be. Great shot!

I STEPPED on the ping pong ball!

This looks the kind of crowd Gloria Upson ran with (Auntie Mame). Is that Muriel Puce I see?

On display:

A lot of clavicle.

Charming

One of the girls is wearing what could be a heart shaped charm dangling from a bracelet with the number 17 on it. That makes it look like the tag hanging from a beach locker key in a Shorpy Atlantic City photo.
