From 1939, via Shorpy.

Not In Those Shoes, Lady

Dorothy Parker, Ms. Washington 1938. Perhaps a somewhat impromptu photo op. I believe you can still see marks just above her knees from her elastic stocking tops, in addition to wearing her heels on the ladder to the diving board.


Via the vintage photograph aggregator blog, Shorpy's. I heartily recommend them for a rapt afternoon of surfing.
