Agreed......

Most of the women look mixed or light skinned.
Where are the dark skinned beauties from the past?

I think Miss Philadelphia is pretty stunning.

I wonder how they curled their hair back then without heat styling tools.

I really love women's (and men's) fashions of the 30s and 40s. It was classy, elegant, and dignified.

Especially compared to women's fashions of today. Today our options are either business attire/business casual, trendy looking work out clothes, or low slung jeans with shirts that aren't made long enough to make up for the low slung jeans.

Women in the 30s and 40s looks so elegant, feminine, and tasteful even in their casual clothes/sports wear.

I'm jealous because if you tried to dress like that now people would think you were a hipster and thats SO not what I'm going for.

Raquel http://abinitioadinfinitum.files.wor.../09/raquel.jpg

she is a beauty but I bet if you put her in a time capsule to times before hair bleach, push-up bras, stilletos, and make-up she would look similar to the '20s pageant girls.

I really don't think those women are ugly. That is what women look like when they don't have hair styling tools, hair dye, or make-up. Its amazing how brainwashed men are by the manufactured hollywood look.

I will admit to highlighting my hair and wearing make up but it's sad that men can't appreciate the women of an era before all of the make-up, hair dye, styling tools, and push-up bras.

LMAO @ trying to insult me about relationship problems. What else is new. Big f'ing deal & this is one example why I'm glad I don't bother with you people
Great - don't bother me anymore!

By the way, I like your CD name - it's cute. Have a good evening.

Raquel today at 72..... http://inyourface.blog.ocregister.co...08-8100663.jpg

Linda today at 61..... http://spinoff.comicbookresources.co...nda_carter.jpg


Homely is homely. So is yucky teeth not taken care of (back then) and flabby bodies. Most curvy women today are firm. You could bounce a quarter off their buns.

Yes, Miss Missouri also has a sort of quiet mysterious look going on that I find very attractive. Also, Miss Los Angeles in the photo next to her is gorgeous, IMO. Now I'm going to try to find more pictures...
