these gals look like they’re having a good time, hanging out in their female short pants – which is the only description life magazine could give me for this set of photos. date unknown… mid-fifties i’m guessing?

wow that girl’s waist is TINY
Typically I’m not a fan of shorts but these are so flattering!
I love those pics! they’re amazing
I really like this – a small town full of women in high-waist shorts. They look fantastic (waists!) – but quite awkward to wear, I’d say – and if it is mid 50s I can’t imagine what the shiny harlequiny ones are made of!
i could be way off the mark about the date… i threw mid-fifties out their based solely on the cars and the audrey hepburn-esque sunglasses & shorts (which she did wear around that time). could be late fifties…?
and yes, their waists!!
This is why I love Life magazine so much argh!
My mom use to wear these type of short and I can just fit in to them! Use to wear them in high school when i was skinner! Loved them!
These birds are hot!
my nose is bleeding
i love how curvy they are!
I would love to step out in these. damn.
maybe I’ll just wear some around the house first.
ok, this is HOT. looks more like an editorial/commercial than a real-life documentary, but hey, maybe that’s how the fifties rolled.
It always amazes me how much our body shapes have evolved through the decades – it seems to me we are growing longer & less pronounced as the years go by. Breasts used to be jacked up like little rockets, waists were minute, thighs were full, and ankles were toothpicks. A compelling arrangement of extremes.
