I have officially became a tumblr addict! I created an account yesterday & already posted 253 posts! My tumblr dashboard is becoming the page I go to the most after my gmail account cause I am obsessed wit checking my emails! My account is qinnathedisco.tumblr! Follow me! :D

Here are some vintage magazine scans that I found at flickr! I love how the dresses are all clinched at the waist creating a very sexy hourglass shape! Plus vintage swimsuits are always the best!

Amelia said...

These are so cool. It's so nice to see hourglass figures after being bombarded by all the stick-figure models these days. I wish they still made clothes for people with small waists and larger hips :(
