I didn’t have anything garden related to show for vintage thingies thursday so I thought I would share something that would spark a bit of humor in this bathing suit season.
I found this picture among a box of photos that I purchased from an elderly gentleman at a neighborhood garage sale. I got a kick out of this one. They look like they are having a fun time. Boy am I glad they have come up with better swim-suits. I am not sure which is worse, the mens or the women’s although full coverage for men may not be a bad idea. The women could use a bit more support and I don’t mean the kind the one girl is wearing rolled up to her knees. The swim hats the girls are wearing are a hoot. I just wish I knew the story behind this picture. Or maybe I am glad I don’t.

I think that is the funniest bathing suit picture from that era that I have ever seen. They sure look they were having a good time. The lady in the long dress does not look too sure. She looks older and probably thinking they were showing too much skin. Great post.

What a neat showing of seniors in their swimsuits. If that picture could only talk.

I agree – thank god for today’s shelf bras and spandex.

Great picture, even if the “girls” could use a little oomph! They all look pretty happy to be wearing their bathing suits and like they’re having a good time.

What a hoot!

Well I won’t feel so bad the next time I go swimming. I’m surprised that they don’t appear to be wearing any bras or support underneath. Not very flattering but they all seem to be having a good time so I guess that’s the really important thing.

Hilarious! No one today should complain about how they look in a bathing suit!

Definitely more support, you are right!
Thanks for sharing that super fun pic!

You are right–what a hoot! I like pictures where people are real and have real bodies. The women look well fed so I’m assuming they are southern like me
. I’d love to know the whole story.

So funny! And I agree, the mens’ suits are better than seeing them in Speedos!
