    They're crinolines, not petticoats. They wore them under those full party skirts and scotty dog skirts in the 60s to make them poof out.

    (eta: it crops the picture? Sorry. I didn't know it did that and I don't know how to edit the url)

    Those images are absolutely breathtaking. Excuse me, I am now off to put a Sarah Vaughn album on the record player (yes I still have one of those!).

    This makes me want to run home and pour over my mother's photo albums. My mother used to tell me stories while I, as a child, went through all the old albums. She'd tell me about the times and my family history and she would laugh and say "oh, honey, that was the way we dressed back then. We looked sharp." Thanks LaToya you put a smile on my face.

    Great pictures, but one complaint. No guys. You ever seen a picture of Sam Cooke back in the day?

    Why no love for black men with style?

    @AfroGuapo: That is seriously the COOLEST thing I've seen in a long time. She's beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

    And not to be a spoiler, but from the biography of Sam I'm currently reading, he dated most of the female populations of Harlem, the south side of Chicago, and LA. ;) Thanks!

    Awesome! Y'all finally featured this blog. It took me so much by surprise when I first found it. I'm so used to seeing white girls in these types of ads that these pictures took my breath away.

    P.S. The blogess is a regular commenter here.

    I wonder if Disney's artists got their inspiration for Tiana's awesome lilypad dress from that magnolia blossom skirt. I want both of them, either way.

    A good place for old-school History Channel is History International. They just dust off shows that are 3-5 years old and re-air them. Right now "Hero Ships" is on but it is Veterans Day. Still, it's all facts.
    My favorite is Modern Marvels. I can watch that any time. #thehistorychannel

    They used to have a neat show called Histories Mysteries where they showed real mysteries like "How was the Alamo lost" or "How was xxx big stone thing built" with computer models and archaeological evidence. You could show it in a classroom. Now it's the same title but it's all knights templar and witches.

    They still show halfway decent ancient Rome biopics about obscure Caesars. I try to watch those but they all run together. I figure I'm learning through osmosis just having it on. #thehistorychannel

    @BytheSea: There was one once on a plane that went down over the Sarah in WWII (The Lady Be Good), and my grandma's fiance was one of the men who disappeared/died in that, so my grandma got interviewed for the show and loaned the History Channel photos for the episode! #thehistorychannel
