She's kinda cute. Healthier looking then I assumed a working woman in the 1910s would be.

She might have been a model, for documenting the uniform standard

Her teeth are very straight. A bit too straight for a 1910 woman.

What makes you think working people weren't healthy 100-years ago? As to why you think she looks healthy, she's not fat as fuck.

Here's NYC, 11-years previous. What do we see? I see a thriving society.

What we won't see is a single fat fuck. And no one can argue this is some sort of suffering, starving society. FFS, they're actively building skyscrapers, pushing tech to the limit.

So many choices of words were made in your comment, and you chose wrong every time. You buried your valid point in fat fucks.

Let's go a little lighter on the language describing individuals if we're going to go for condemnation of modern obesity. It's a society-scale problem.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

It is a scale issue, that much you two agree on.

My luck: we're probably related and now my karma's fucked. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I mean…she was probably like 16-18

And, when this picture was taken, I was even younger. 🤪

That uniform does not looks very United States Postal Service.

I don't have an eye for such things. If you find any more info, I'll gladly change the title though!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean it's beautiful and looks well-made...which is kinda the problem

She seems young.

It looks like the Morton Salt girl cosplaying as a pastry chef.
