1930’s Teen Delinquents
i.e. life role models
I’m just gonna reblog this again because it’s one of my favorite pictures ever.
That girl in the chair seems like such a badass I bet she was the leader of the crew.
I want to write about these girls.
When I was a teenager my mother found my grandmother’s (her mother) school scrapbook. It included things like photos, notes, and a two page spread of every demerit she ever received over the course of her formal education. Each of them set aside with little tags like she was so fucking proud of them. They were all for things like, “Unladylike behavior” or, “Skirt too short” or, “refuses to listen to authority”. I loved that spread so much.
I always have to reblog this.
i would’ve dated the shit outta the babe in the chair
u beautiful pplI wistfully sigh and WISH my family members had been delinquents. Sadly they were all Good Little Girls…. Oh, to have an old flapper for a grandmother!!
Reblogging for the commentary and because their dresses are wonderful.

I’m sorry, but Ulysses is looking sharp.

I love nothing more than photos of important/famous/historical people being ridiculous.
