  1. i wonder if mini skirts/dresses will ever return. granted, mini skirts have made a come back of sorts, but nothing like the mini skirts from the 1960's. great photos, catherine.

    wishing you a speedy recovery and a very happy new year!

  2. Where did you find these photos? They're fantastic! Are you visiting some interesting store that's overflowing with these kinds of vintage things?

    (I've lived in Taiwan for a few years and read your blog off-and-on since I arrived. I like it a great deal. You help make Taiwan even more fun!)

  3. Happy holidays Catherine! These photos are great. The omnipresent shyness in all of these old photos is something our generation and future generation will never really have, huh? The girl in the sequined dress is inspiring me to don a similar outfit to karaoke this Saturday!
    love, Jenny

  5. I hope you get better soon! I just recovered from a cold today XDD
    Btw, love the third picture XDD I've always wondered where these people are and how they look like now-- do they even know that past pictures of theirs are being sold?
