i have a crush on some guy's mom


Um, yeah. How amazing are these photos? They look like so much like a modern fashion editorial, but they are even better as they are the real photos of some fella's mother taken in 1965-67. What a gorgeous gamine she is! I love to focus in on the details - her long simple necklace, the simple rings she is wearing in the last photo and that lovely white bag.

  7. These are amazing, that second one reminds me a bit of Sophia Loren. I especially love the imperfection of her hair in the last photo, thank you so much for sharing!

  16. wow, she was so ahead of her time and really knew how to pose! And wearing that man's hat with the bathers .. wouldn't have imagined them doing that back in the 60s. Wonder what she looks like now?
