She was chunky wasn't she. The beauty bar was pretty low back then. If you look at the early Playboys vs the later Playboys you won't see anyone as dumpy as Marilyn Monroe in there after about 1966.

Related - have you seen They Shall Not Grow Old? Similar to your vid above, but footage from The Great War. Stunning stuff. This is my review of it.

I'm endlessly fascinated by photos from the past. The world has changed so much in a handful of years, yet somehow so much has stayed the same

You will love this, (make sure highest resolution settings are on in the video!) it was originally released by the MoMA. I actually find it kind of creepy because of how real the people in this upgraded footage look - they look like they're still alive, but they've been dead for over 100 years. In a way, the world hasn't changed that much. There's cycles.

It's scary how fast time passes, you feel that while watching this video. It's an obvious life fact, but it's like the video is silently screaming at you, "you'll be just like these people one day.."

Back when we could go outside, I would often sit at the cafe near my office at lunchtime, and once or twice a week this old dude would ride by on this beautiful old Norton. Such a great looking machine.

Really cool photo, for some reason it reminds me of these photos from the 70's with Arab women wearing Western clothing and bikinis @ the beach.
