Vivian Maier

Since it's a crazy week for me and everyone else, I am keeping my posts short.  My brother-in-law, Matt, sent me an article about Vivian Maier and I thought I'd share.  Check out the link below to see some cool pictures from the 50's.  I am in LOVE with this one:

 I think I was born in the wrong decade, style-wise.  I would KILL for that car! 
And the clothes?  So girly.  I love it.  Why couldn't we obtain equal rights without
burning our bras?  Bras are good.  Dresses are even better.  We have a waist and legs. 
Why do we have to wear the same pants as a plumber?  It's so wrong.

I wonder who these people are or if she even got their names.  The little girls (in the first picture) are probably in their seventies by now.
