Lola

Date unknown. Found in a Colorado estate sale.

She walked up to me and she asked me to dance
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice
She said Lola, L-O-L-A, Lola, L-L-Lola
--Kinks
Notes: I'm not sure whether this photo is from a prom or a military ball. Thoughts?

Hostess

1959. Found at a Lakewood, Colorado estate sale.

Oh pretty girls, you're too good for this
How you break my heart in this cold waiting room
Oh pretty girls, you're too good for this
Don't let them tell you you're nothing
Don't let them break your hearts too

Funny girls




*Photos found in Lakewood, Colorado.

Some people think little girls should be seen and not heard
But i think
Oh Bondage Up Yours!
One, Two, Three, FOUR!

Darling with dachshund

Photo found in Orange, California.



I'm a tiny dog named Dixie,
I have small feet which pitter patter on the linoleum floor,
You can hear my toenails in the middle of the night.
My tag says I belong to the Johnsons, but they don't own me,
They just feed me, they just bought me one day.
No one owns me, I'm Dixie the tiny dog.
--Peter Himmelman


Notes: This is my very first dachshund photo find. I was really excited. I hope it won't be my last.

Camera girl


Found at an estate sale in Lakewood, Colorado. Dated 1947.


I turn my camera on
I cut my fingers on the way
I feel me slippin away
I wipe my feelings off
Y'made me untouchable for life

--Spoon


Notes: I love this photo.

Margaret


This is Margaret Bigleman, summer of 1964. This is not a random thrift store find; it's my husband's great grandmother. She doesn't look too happy to be going to church.


She looks pretty stoked on Mickey Mouse though. Who wouldn't be?
