... those dynamite legs! It's after three in the afternoon: it's either a late lunch or an early cocktail hour for these two.
They're most likely long departed by now, but their beauty and elegance are timeless.
Whiter than
There was a comment concerning these recent Florida club photos about whether the place was whites only.
When I was growing up in Florida in the 1960s, the country club near my house not only excluded Blacks (except as employees) but also Jews. There were two country clubs on the same road--one white, gentile, and genteel, the other predominantly Jewish. (My family wasn't well-off enough for either.)
Ten years later?
About ten years later that look was all the rage. Enter Lesley Hornby, a.k.a. "Twiggy".
And the less said, the better. I do remember wisecracks from less enlightened times than the present.
I wonder if they were part of a fashion show during lunch??
The blonde is taller but the redhead has incredibly long legs! Both trim, thin and elegant.
