Here’s one I don’t think I’ve ever posted. It’s just so lovely.
Ora Mabel Hinson by Suzanne
<br /><i>Via Flickr:</i> <br />My great aunt Ora Mabel Hinson about 1905. I have a five piece vanity set that belonged to her. They are cut crystal (with a floral pattern) and silver with turquoise guilloche with a flower pattern. Each piece is engraved with her initials. They are very beautiful.

Coloring dolls are not my thing. LOL. Goodness gracious that thing looks terribly horrible.
Pretty girl though. <3

Some interpretations of early tintypes of women with their backs to the camera, believe the women are showing off their (lovely) long hairstyles. While very long hair was fashionable at the time, I like to think part of the popularity of this pose was a cheeky act of subversion.
With rapid technological developments in the late 1800s (including photography!) women began to fight for their own social equality. The camera allowed these women to create images of themselves, and they felt empowered enough to challenge the viewer by turning their backs to the camera and keeping their image to themselves.
Or they thought their hair looked great that day!

We as a society may have changed dramatically, but our best friends are just as furry and as adorable now as they were back then. :)
