Reply to comment by gonzo8927 in My Aunt (50s) washing the car probably because my dad made her. by Ok_Caramel_7383
It's like you know when you're reading about stuff the great depression or watching some old movie? And like obviously yeah it's real. But it's so dated and foreign to you that part of you feels like it's not even real or something?
For some odd reason this picture gave me the "holy shit that is from the 1950's and that person is real and are on the same planet I'm on now" feeling.
Possibly because it's colorized, but also I think it has to do with what she's wearing and what she's doing.
Sweater and Bluejeans, wash bucket on the ground, dog acting like a goober.
Besides the car there isn't much dated about the image. I have similar pictures from my childhood (mid to late 90's) that contain almost the same types of emotions, clothing etc.
It's familiar.
Unlike other photos from the 50's of men in suits/hats or slicked back greaser hair, or long skirts or something.
Or at least that's what I think it is

Those hovering head pics were so weird! My mom always refused to buy them. That style is definitely a blast from the past

Reply to Me, hiding inside my free jazz band, T'rass, Ladbroke Grove, London, Oct 1974. I was making art, I was being a mkonde carving. Cause I was trippin' like that. We rehearsed across the street from Bob Marley's flat in the Grove. by floydwebb
This entire everything is pretty much cooler than I have been, or ever will be.

You're not an old lady yet. I am sure you are still beautiful.
It's hard to compare yourself to your youth.
