New

many pictures here at Shorpys make me want to go back in time for one reason or another. But this photo does that, probably, more than any other. It is enigmatic. The attitude is so different than what we have been taught to expect for the times. Are we simply wrong in our pre-conceptions and have to get used to the fact that life and people have always been more complicated than how we view the older days - or is this person different, exeptional, and perhaps in the wrong era.

I don't know. But I do love to look at these moments and ponder.
Are there any more photos, new or old that you can post? Any stories?

I Adore Her!

A timeless beauty at the peak of perfection

Stunning

That's what she is! She would turn heads walking down the street today for sure!

Is It Acceptable

Is it acceptable to say that someone's 100-year-old grandmother was an absolute hottie? Because it's true. From the tips of those not entirely sensible shoes to the top of that very contemporary hair style. The very picture of a 21 year old woman loving life. Cheers ma'am!

Tell Her She is Gorgeous!

I just know the same young lady still resides in your grandmother.......this gal has plenty of life inside her! Cheers Grandmother!

I never looked like that!!!

I would love to have been half that gorgeous at any time in my life. And, to live 100 years? She's awesome.

My gramma never looked like this!

That hairdo would not look out of place today to. She was quite a beauty, and I bet you can still see traces of that beauty today.

Birthday Babe

I hope your grandmother knows she's got a lot of internet admirers. What a fantastic photo of a spirited young woman!

Happy Birthday Gorgeous!

Tell Granny to have one on me, she's awesome!

Except for the car

This photo could have been taken today! Just substitute an SUV for the 20's model car and you'd never know.

This is pretty racy for the time. I believe she's wearing a man's shirt and PANTS. Wow--granny was pretty wild in her day!

Lovely Lady

That outfit wouldn't look out of place today.
