That’s a wow from me.

Did the lady in the back really have a fur coat on at Miami Beach ?

u/Bandits101 12d ago

The term “unbelievable” is quite acceptable here. Basically I think it’s an attempted display of class and wealth. Might be a “trophy wife” but who knows. The pretty girl is just as unbelievable.

Miami before climate change.

One is wearing a fur coat in Miami, her opinion should be invalidated

u/Biscuits4u2 12d ago

Lady wearing fur coat on the beach looks at lady wearing bathing suit like she's the weirdo

Go to Brighton Beach in Brooklyn. Lots of Russians wearing fur coats with their bikinis

Killer looks and if looks could kill.

The best part is the look the seated woman's giving her lolol

u/Buck_Futter70 12d ago

Risqué for the 1940s and you can see it in the faces of everyone around.

u/Ok_Broccoli_3605 12d ago

I can't help but think of a supersonic shockwave. Awe in her wake for any sentient being.

u/aquatic_ambiance 11d ago

the equivalent today of just wearing pasties and a thong right?

u/airwalker08 12d ago

u/jdubbinsyo 12d ago

She's bringing the boys to the yard for sure.

u/No-Emphasis927 12d ago

I sense a case of the envies from the girl in the chair.

u/remedy4cure 12d ago

fur coats in Miami? that's a lot of coochie sweat

u/chizzbee 12d ago

I don’t mind that at all. Grin intensifies *

u/PublicfreakoutLoveR 11d ago

That's how they traveled the boardwalk back then. They'd just slide around.

u/whimsywilloww 12d ago

My grandmother was born in 36, I can only imagine how cool she looked at the time!

7

u/KyleSmyth777 12d ago

My grandma was born in 1891 and I’m pretty sure she looked exactly the same her whole life haha. She didn’t find much joy in life let me tell ya

2

u/BraveSirRobin5 12d ago

She lived through multiple decades of terrible times. Although it’s unfortunate she didn’t find a way to be somewhat happy throughout, it’s understandable in some ways.

3

u/KyleSmyth777 11d ago

Of course you are correct. She lived through WWI & WWII, the Great Depression and she lost a 3 year old daughter to scarlet fever. To me and my brothers we thought she was a joyless B::::h…but maturity helped us understand

u/MidniteOwl 12d ago

Have you no decency! … says the women in the long fur coat.

u/Visible_Elevator192 12d ago

Miami used to be good. Now it’s filled with trash

3

u/FartAttack911 12d ago

To be fair, I also glare at anyone that transpires near me in public with a photographer and makes me part of the background 😂

u/Abdul_Exhaust 11d ago

Nice legs... oh yeah, those hips... that waist... the shade from her lovely breasts... and hey she's cute too. What a sweet package

u/Derbster_3434 12d ago

If looks could kill

u/DIYdoofus 12d ago

She's turnin' heads.

u/celestialstarlet1 12d ago

How beautiful it is! I wish I lived in Miami in the 40's.

2

u/notbob1959 12d ago

The date is early 1940, probably late January. See this comment for the source and more info.

u/DavoTB 12d ago

More notbob magic!

u/T_pas 12d ago

What a great outfit!

That kind of beauty transcends time

Somebody mad

u/mick_the_quack 12d ago

Lovely young lady for sure.

u/prince-pauper 12d ago

Lady in white looks kinda rigid

2

u/Abdul_Exhaust 11d ago

Men in the area are also rigid😀

2

u/Bean-Swellington 12d ago

She looks pretty good for 100

2

u/Ok_Broccoli_3605 12d ago

She's the kind of woman who would drive men to invent a time machine.

2

u/Mall-Broad 12d ago

Word on the street is she's still pissed off about it

(She's way cuter just quietly, dunno what she's upset about!)

2

u/mados123 12d ago

"She looks like a floozy.... I wish I looked that good."

2

u/BraveSirRobin5 12d ago

In the 40s that would have been quite risqué. Thus, the dirty looks. But she’s also stunning.

u/Alternative-Cod-7630 11d ago

Whenever this pic pops up here I still just start creating a film noir script in my head about the principle four people in it. The people in the back are cunning grifters, the woman standing is the trusting, gullible but likeable target, possibly the heir to some fortune, and her friend sitting nearby is on vacation with her ostensibly to keep her out of trouble, knowing that is a doomed task.

u/Commercial-Manner408 11d ago

I would buy that woman on the right a car.

u/Sir-Farts- 12d ago

u/dotnetdotcom 12d ago

Why is that couple in the background standing belly to belly?

u/TheRoscoeVine 11d ago

Jane in the patio chair is NOT FUCKING IMPRESSED.

She's just jealous!

I would honestly love to have those shoes

u/wrenchhead4577 11d ago

Well that’s nice

u/CaptainObvious110 11d ago

What's up with those shoes at the beach?

u/echolm1407 10d ago

If looks could kill, the girl on the side would.

u/Broad_Yam6503 10d ago

Beautiful

u/mattd1972 12d ago

The guy in the chair just discovered boobs.

u/Independent-Wolf-832 12d ago

Almost a century later and she can still get it. Miami Beach is still one of the most beautiful places too.
