DanaC Wednesday Mar 5 12:37 PMWow, they're amazing.
Followed the link and some of them are quite startling.
A few things that caught my attention:
Quote:
4.) Fuzzy ducklings being used as therapy animals for children.
|
That's really something. I always thought that sort of thing was a very modern concept.
Quote:
9.) Annette Kellerman promoting a woman’s right to wear a fitted, one-piece bathing suit in 1907. She was later arrested for indecency.
|
Amazing. She's showing no flesh to speak of, but the very idea of a woman allowing her body shape to be visible was considered indecent.
Quote:
13.) A picture of the original Ronald McDonald from 1963.
|
Fuck me, that's terrifying.
Quote:
23.) Beach patrols measuring the length of women’s bathing suits in the 1920s.
|
So, progress but...
Quote:
26.) What lifeguards used to look like in the 1920s.
|
Aha, Because it's fun to stay at the YMCA right?

On 3 July 1938, the A4 class locomotive Mallard raced down Stoke Bank at 126mph to set a new steam locomotive world speed record. That record still stands.
All six surviving A4s came together during 2013/14, in an event organised by the National Railway Museum, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the record.
Participating locos were:
Mallard
Sir Nigel Gresley
Bittern
Dwight D Eisenhower
Dominion of Canada
Union of South Africa
Mallard 75
