For the Proprietress....This is a "Petty Girl" from about 1938....its never easy to tell Petty from Varga( as he signed his early works) and the pair both worked at Esquire for awhile....
1932...Anacostia Flats, DC: The Ill fated Bonus March, with the US Army called to oust veterans who had been promised Bonus Money for their Service in WWI. Ironically, the Three-Master in the far background is "Old Ironsides", The USS Constitution, on a Goodwill cruise( her final Voyage).
For the uninitiated among ye....this lady is "Little Sureshot"....also known as Miss Annie Oakley. The medal sround her neck was given to her by Queen Victoria.
A covered Bridge on Cromwell Road in Baltimore ...There were still four of these in Maryland when I left 12 years ago....They were originated by Amish who often took goods to market across large and small streams. If a storm hit, they could stop under these covers and wait it out
This was the drink of Choice among my crew in the Late 70s....Gawd knows why. I drank Scotch, then and now. I was the only guy in that joint who could leave my drink on the bar....go dance with a chickie and find it untouched when I returned.?
But the queen of Yum in my world in the wayback just on "The Look" was this gal....here she must be at least 60....but she's still a babe, with a brain too.Nina Hartley
