The sad thing is that those in power typically do not heed history.

Meantime, all I can do is change what I can and make most of what I have.
Oh, and have some fun along the way too. "It takes so long to figure out just what I'm going to wear, just another manic ..........y"
Yup and I may be late too, but that's life.

Stevie, All those fantastic pictures of men and women in each others clothes. Posing, getting married, getting drunk or muddy. It reminds me of the blade runner quote "all these moments will be lost in time like tears in rain".

Looking all the pictures Stevie has found wether real or photoshoped makes me think we are just another group finding our way just like them.
For a more current look at this fashion, do a web search using the string "couples swapping clothing".
With Duckduckgo, and choosing the "images" results tab, I got many paired views of couples. But none from pre-WW2.

I looked and it was wonderful to see.
