I know! Weird, huh? I swear, Olive could have rolled down tennis socks showing at the top of those boots.

It’s funny that you should mention Olive Oyl, because she’s a style mashup. The “roll” is only kind of suggested, because it’s sitting right on top of her high-button shoes - not a 20's fashion at all!

That’s a garter, and how clever of you to notice it matches the straps! There’s some interesting history to the whole garter/stocking issue - another commenter mentioned the stockings make the models’ legs look like sausage casings, and they’re so right. Because they’re silk, they photograph like support hose, and…

Actually, my bad on the hat remark - I didn’t look closely at the whole photo, just at the side-eye detail, so derp. The PJ model and a few others are wearing “boudoir caps” - they were worn to protect your hairstyle (important if you had finger, or marcelled, waves!) when dressing, since most dresses went on over…

They’re wearing a heavy-duty foundation garment on the outside of what used to be called an “envelope chemise”: namely cami-knickers/cami-bockers (one piece camisole and knickers) or “step-ins” (think of a one piece slip combined with longer, wide-leg drawers). The knickers were often attached at the waist with snaps…

Dorothy Perkins wasn’t a real person or designer, but a retail firm that started out selling ready-to-wear undies and stockings in London at the turn of the century and quickly expanded to multiple shops after WWI (they still exist today).

Far left, is definitely a man, baby!

It’s so wonderful you had that. My dad could fix just about anything, but it wasn’t worth teaching me because I’m a girl. He did let me sweep up the laundries though. It’s taken a long time for me to undo that mindset. He died and while I regret things never improved between us, I don’t really miss him.

You made your bed, quit complaining now that you don't like the sheets.

GOOD. I recently left the higher ed world as a student affairs professional and one of the reasons was because I couldn’t properly advocate for my student activist groups as their advisor. Advising groups like V-Day, Take Back the Night, and Black Student Organizations is a very tough place to be in academia. You want…

My dad has so many flaws, but honestly, he has never ever ever treated his three daughters different than he treats his son. We’re all his stubborn smartasses, and he thinks we’re all the absolute best.

No kidding. I’m an only daughter, I never heard word one from either parent about wanting more kids or a boy.

Right? I want to call my Dad and be like ‘thank you for telling me everyday, especially by actions and not even words, that I could do absolutely anything I wanted and you would always stand behind me!” Thankfully, last year for his birthday I wrote him a long letter about that, and what a wonderful husband he is to…

And let’s be honest. Ivanka is by far the most successful and seemingly best adjusted of the 3 siblings. She's done great with her fathers mantle.

“Wanted a son to continue the family business” What? How did this person breed two other humans and still doesn’t understand that parenthood is no guarantee of... anything whatsoever. You can’t even plan for them to like you, especially if you’re an asshat like this guy, let alone decide their lives direction.

That would be my best guess as well. And as a sailor, I must bow my head a bit, because that really seems like a shitty way to go for a sailor...regardless of origin.

Well, technically, jays *are* blue. So it works for both bébé AND père!

OOOH! Like, with all the fierce flatware I never knew I was missing?! Till Beyonce™ showed me how beatless my table settings REALLY are...
