Pittsburgh Party

A small collection of snapshots taken at a party in Pittsburgh. Each print is captioned. The young lady, standing near the basement steps, "FOR MY NEXT NUMBER." The man standing with the fake microphone, "Thank You Rudy Valentino." The laughing man, with women on each side, "Who Goosed Who." The hugging couple, "Restful." The man talking to the person in the mop wig, "I SAID, WHAT'S YOUR NAME." And the last photo, "Whatcha Lookin At?" When copying down captions, I always try and use caps when they're used in the original. The hand writing isn't the same on each print, which explains the odd mixture of capitol and small letters. All these seem to be from the 1950's.

Going to the Dance

A nice young couple going off to a party, probably from the 1930's.

The Ladies Costume Party

Maybe the lady in the wedding dress is the guest of honor, and she's about to get married. Then again, it just might be another costume, with no significance whatsoever. Stamped on the back of each photo, "THIS IS A KODACOLOR PRINT MADE BY EASTMAN KODAK COMPANY T.M. REGIS. U. S. PAT. OFF. Week o Sept 26, 1955 VI PA 1"

Party Girl!

No names or dates on these two snapshots. (I've never really been in love with color.) Were they taken pre AIDS or post AIDS? Oh for the days when STDs were curable with a shot of antibiotics.

The Wild Party

People my age seem to think that they invented recreational sex, that somehow people from past ages only did it to reproduce the species. These four small photographs, probably from the thirties or forties, show otherwise. But, were these two ladies paid entertainers or bored neighborhood housewives?
