1924 Bathing Suit Models
Three bathing suit models at the beach in 1924. They were in Washington's Spring Fashion Show. Looks like what we might wear today to go shopping - maybe with a bit less cloth involved!

The models are (left to right) Dorothy Young, Eleanor Gianniny, and Betty Burgess.
Date & Place: at Arlington Beach in Washington DC, District Of Columbia USA

Nearly 100 yrs ago in 1924 these three ladies demonstrated the latest in bathing suit styles for the Washington's Spring Fashion Show in DC.

I know the styles haven’t aged well, but frankly, I think I’d appreciate the extra sun protection nowadays.

I wore my grandmother’s old wool swim suit from late 1800s in quite a few antique style shows!
Wish I had pics of those shows...!

Jan Jenson Lol! I wish you did too! I’d love to see them. Can you honestly imagine being sopping wet in that much wool? Even the thinnest! I’d have to get in the water because of the itching, and then beg to get it squeezed out.

I am researching Tasker, Jones, Bowen, Rees of Wales; Kroetch, Chartrand of Canada; and Boggs, Ferguson, Smith, of West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky. Also Steeples of Kansas. And on my mother's New England roots - well, too numerous to name since she descends from Mayflower passengers as well as Dutch East India captains who arrived with their families before the Mayflower landed further north than was planned. :)
I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Director). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in Campbell (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our current Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
