daring indeed

This may be the best and gayest thing I have ever seen in my life: a newsreel clip of a British men's fashion show from 1951. It was connected to the Festival of Britain, which was meant to showcase a bright postwar Britain moving forward. Clothing rationing had ended just two years earlier; perhaps a lingering thrifty impulse explains the shortness of the shorts?

Bona to vada so very, very much of them!

That is just so beautiful!

I honestly had a minute of wondering if it was real or someone's brilliant modern parody, because it's so perfect.

By the way, I got the package you sent! Thank you so much. I am horrified by how much you had to spend to post it, though. Eep.

Glad it arrived safely! We're used to the postage - the US is the worst, because of the anti-terrorism surcharge. IDEK, it's like your government doesn't want you having contact with other countries.

Woooooooow.
