Lovely Ladies of Yesteryear (in B&W)

 "QUANTUM SHOT" #171Glamour, fashion (and fun!) in the 50s and 60s I have to admit this post is a pure indulgence, a collection of images from various little known European forums, and nostalgic communities that preserve that certain innocent quality and loveliness, often lost in modern commercial photography. These models actually seem to enjoy themselves, be genuinely happy and alluring at the same time. The fashions were something else again. Sources: vintage magazine scans, advertisements and calendars; many images have been preserved by such sites as Vintage Girl Watchers, Italian Digilander site, wonderful blogs like The Wistful Republic and "Vintage Photo" community                  in the forest:    on the road:     Favorite past-times of the "proper" lady? Math, of course!  lots of reading:  creative housekeeping:  Source: Vintage Photo Image by © Bettmann/CORBIS Contemplating the dating scene: (see this hilarious video) "Women Keep Your Virtue" via Misscellania and something more exotic - like joining Air Force: "IMPERIAL IRAN AIR FORCE", 1965  CONTINUE TO PAGE 2: LOVELY LADIES IN COLOR!

The Iranian women's air force rocks my socks off. As far as the "Women Keep Your Virtue" video is concerned, I'm posting that tonight. That's bloody awesome.
Ditto. That Harry Enfield piece was awesome! Comedy at its best. Thanks Avi!
Hey, who's that stunning lady between the jumping & lady with cat photos?

OK, found your source and unfortunately it gives no name. She's presented just as some random encounter. Damn. She's one of the most attracting creatures I've ever seen. Absolutely stunning.
