1940's Woman Wearing Grass Skirt and Flower in Hair

This is my grandmother although I never did meet her. Clearly she was a character as she is dressed here in a grass skirt and strapless bra.

There is story behind this crazy looking costume. The era was the 1940's and her oldest son had been shipped overseas to Hawaii to help with the aftermath of Pearl Harbor. He wanted to send home a gift to his mother and something that had the true flavor of tropical island life. The skirt is gathered around her waist and flows down past her knees. She is also sporting a flower lei around her neck that comes down past her waist. A flower on the side of her hair is the perfect accessory for this outfit.

The ends look choppy and textured as they are free to do what they do in this sassy and fun party 'do. She has a side part and is bang-less while the strands are finger styled to keep the definition of the waves. She has one side tucked behind her ear for an asymmetrical appearance.

Mother and Daughter in the 1950's

This picture is a nice example of a snapshot taken of a mother and teenage daughter in the mid 1950's.

Mom and Daughter

The girl is sitting on a stool in the kitchen of their home while her mother is standing next to her with her arm around her neck. The kitchen counter looks a little art deco-ish with square lines and simple detail.
