I've enjoyed looking through every page of this thread so much, I thought it was time to bring this thread back to life. If any of you new ladies have photos to share, please do!
I'll start with some photos of my mom and her mom in the early 50's...
My mom when she worked in a bank:
On Bayshore Blvd in Tampa FL (where she's from originally):
Mom in the Tampa Gasparilla Parade (she's the bunny on the far left sitting on the mushroom):
At a sorority function, mom is in the second row seated on the far left:
Mom shortly after graduating from high school in the late 40's:
And two of my favorite pics of her mom, my grandmother....she was a tiny petite woman who was always dressed to the nines no matter what the situation, always very stylish and polished. She was NOT the typical housewife of the era, she was a professional working woman who was respected in the business world and continued to work when married (and between husbands, heh):
I'd die for her shoes in this one:
My mom was a well-bred city girl through and through....she was raised having a housekeeper, cook, and nanny (it was the south, afterall) and never learned how to cook and clean and do other typical housewife stuff until after she got married. After dating rich boys who would take her yachting (and even a few gangsters, I kid you not) she fell in love with the most unlikely person.....a poor farm boy from Nebraska who never had a new pair of shoes until he joined the Air Force in 1950.
To be continued....
