People Now THIS Was Some Party
Posted by Vance Lauderdale on Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 3:06 PM
I recently bought a couple of trays of 35mm Kodachrome slides, just filled with interesting photos of an unknown (unknown to ME, I mean) local family celebrating birthdays, Christmas, and other events, and I wanted to share a few of them here.
First of all, the photo here shows a couple of well-dressed ladies having WAY too much fun opening what seems to be a little basket filled with miniature whiskey bottles. Perhaps they've already gulped down a few of those bottles, and that explains their hilarity. It makes me thirsty for an ice- cold bottle of Kentucky Nip (full-size) just looking at this. (I LOVE this picture!)
Meanwhile, sitting across the room, Grandma (below) seems to be expressing considerable dismay at the proceedings.
These pictures were taken in the early 1950s. Grandmothers just don't look like that anymore, do they? What a shame.
More later ...

Wow people really DID look like that in the 50s? I thought that was just some retro marketing ploy.... the hair... the glasses... the pearls. At least the babes still knew how to have fun even though they looked like the church lady! What makes me sad is that these slides were tossed out or sold to an estate sale. I guess the owner passed on and the relatives decided not to keep them. My family photos are what I treasure most...even the ones that were in the National Enquirer...and the ones that were on the news with "Courtesy: Shelby County Jaol" above them..I would hate to see the fruit of my loins just toss 'em aside.
