Beachgirl

My mother as a beachgirl in the thirties. Don't know exactly how old she was here, in her twenties I think, before she got married to my father. In this way I have never seen her as a child, so carefree and a bit sexie looking. I only remember her on the beach sitting in a dress in a chair with my father  (in a suit!) and a bag full of towels and food at her feet for us three children. I have never seen her in a swimsuit like this.
This is one of the finds when you inherits the photoalbums of your parents.

  1. She was such a cutie pie. I have the old albums, too, and they are so wonderful peruse. I'm gonna post one of my mother pregnant at the beach in the funkiest old timey bathing suit you have ever seen....from the 20's. Love you mom's round specs. I still wear round ones.

  4. We don't remember them as they were younger, particularly in my case, since I came along when my mother didn't expect to have more children.

  8. I once showed my son a photo of me trying to be sexy. I don't think I convince them it was actual me.

  9. Dearest Marianne,
    That is quite a treasure to have and also unusual looking for its days. My Mom never ever had a bathing suit, not before the 60s or so when she joined some women for swimming lessons at the local indoor pool.
    But as often the case, a picture is worth a thousand words!
    Hugs and happy week to you.
