On Shorpy:
Today’s Top 5

Could easily pass

For a CK or Chanel ad in Vogue today.

Beach Policeman

Where's that swimsuit-measuring cop when we need him?

Ultra Mod

One of the few vintage models I've seen on Shorpy who would be considered highly desirable by today's standards.

1938?

Are we certain this is from 1938? It sure doesn't seem to fit in with that era.

Kind of breaks the whole model fantasy thing. Or at least nudges it in a different direction.
