Wonder if they ever smile?

Their moms must not have told them they'd look prettier with a smile on their faces!

It's kinda hard to pick a favorite out of that group. I do like the puckered up one in the first row (the eyes are very intense!) but I think my favorite is the one smack in the middle whose mouth is a straight line, like a Muppet.

seamstome 10-20-2010 09:16 AM

Oh man!! I cant even come up with words.

We recently went to Medicine Lodge Kansas where they have the Carrie Nation house. We went through the museum there, and have a post card of these ladies. My daughter saw it and said that same thing. She insisted that the one of the left was a man.

YES!! The one on the left of the "lady" in the dead center looks like an actor.....I just can't think of his name or what he has played in but I can see his face and that is it!! ROFL!!

Just looking at them makes me need a drink. lol

Ramona Byrd 10-20-2010 05:43 PM

As a young girl my cousins and I declared that lips that touch nicotine and alcohol shall never touch ours.

That lasted till we met "boys" and we rapidly lowered our expectations by a heck of a lot.

I for one would have to build my own still if I had a wife with that kind of scowl glued to her face every day. and I would invite all my buddies to join me if they had to go home to those scowls.

amma 10-20-2010 07:07 PM

Oh My!! What an unhappy looking bunch :shock: :lol::lol:

kay carlson 10-20-2010 07:27 PM

I don't know if this poster is for real or not:-)

Family stories include a great aunt who was a tea drinking member of the W.C.T.U. Can you imagine women going from door to door to talk to residents about the evils of alcohol?! I'm dead serious about this having been a reality in the early teens and 1920's. I hope this was a staged photo op as these gals are creepy!!!

Dad as a teenager used to wash a Lincoln owned by the local newspaper publisher. The car had oversized springs and would arrive at the publisher's residence loaded down with "spirits" during the prohibition days. Times were hard and people overlooked the obvious. One of my friends swears that people in a certain neighborhood in town made their fortunes brewing beverages. I don't doubt that at all :)

finch 10-21-2010 04:23 AM

I think they are all men.I would never sober up!!

lauriejo 10-21-2010 04:28 AM

If that doesn't drive you to drink, I don't know what would!

Linda1 10-21-2010 07:56 AM

They look like they need a drink.

lauriejo 10-21-2010 10:28 AM

Jello shooters for everyone!

ruth c 10-21-2010 11:20 AM

I think that is so funny. I needed a good laugh today!!!

Old man- New quilter 10-22-2010 04:55 PM

If ya just kept on drinking, even that wouldn't help make these babes look any better.
