Who Likes Short Shorts?

 

Not these three gals, that's who.

According to the slide, they are " Zola Barbara Mary June 1959". So, that's nice.

When you dance with a vampire...


 ...you need to stay alert. Especially during the slow dances.

Just maintain that rictus grim and hope that daylight arrives soon.

To the lonely sea and the sky.

I wonder if they're dry.

The Joy of a Balloon

 

...is only bettered by ... TWO BALLOONS!

This slides dates back to July 1964, so balloon dance girl will be quite a decent age by now. 

I hope she retains her joy in the simple things.

Speaking of joy...

Meanwhile in Copenhagen...

...we have the Tower of St Nicholas church over blue sky, Copenhagen, Denmark. 

Not very interesting, really.

More interesting is the tens of thousands of new Slide Guy Blog Visitors, attracted to this blog by the new "100% Guaranteed Kim Kardashian-Free" mission statement.

Hi Guts !

Castel Llandegla

 

On this slide, it said "Castel Llandegla, 1977", so I suspect that it is Tomen y Rhodwydd.   

Based upon my extensive knowledge of castles in Powys built by Owain Gwynedd in 1149.

Noice.

"No Bicycles"

 

...but what is the hidden message?

The photographer clearly posed this young lady beside that sign....but why?

You don't suppose that there was some implication about being the village bike, do you?

Beautiful....but tedious.

 


I'm not describing Miss United Kingdom 2020. This slide...clearly a beautiful part of the world, but this image of it.... not very interesting.

Oh.  Blog formatting has gone a bit ... weird.
Bonus - And America goes a bit barking mad.

Where In The World?

 

If you said "Las Vegas, Nevada, USA" ..... Wrong!

If you said "North Yorks County sign, on A1079 nr Kexby, Yorks  Apr 1976", well ... that's what was written on the slide.

Bonus : Meet Achile Chatouilleu, also known as “The French Tickler”, the 107 year old embalmed clown.

The Follow-Up to "Leaving Las Vegas"

 

It's wasn't a success.

"She's a Model and she's Looking Good..."

 

It's strange how often a random slide image unlocks a song lyric in my brain. In this case, from The Model by Kraftwerk.

This slide makes me happy. No info on it, unfortunately, and the blouse is slightly over-exposed, but the model, the fashion, the pose - Pure Fifties Glamour.

Bonus - and to bring to mood down a little, from the Local News section... Aldi customer says she found 'bumhole in stewed steak tin'

Happy Birthday Andy

 

Nope. No Tedious Tuesday slide today, because IT'S ANDY's BIRTHDAY!.

And it appears that Andy and Ruth have decided to visit a zoo today. Can you tell which one?

(While it isn't Tedious Tuesday, we do appear to be at home to Mr Camera-Shake.)

Bonus Kim Jong Un pointing at things

Yet Another Hollings Fashion Show slide

 


Such was the response to yesterday's slide, (very nearly one comment!) I just had to post another. This time, it's from the 1985 show, and seems to feature an incomplete outfit, in the the process of "final sew".

More Hollings Fashion show

 

It's been a while since we last had a slide from the Holling's College Fashion shows, so here's one from 1987. You'd never have guessed 190's from the fashion, style and hair...would you? LOL
